We need to put this on those crazy conspiracy blogs every other post for about 2 weeks.

He clearly was talking about them but didn't say their names.

A Republican politician, flag imagery, serious but stirring soundtrack, earnest but vague talk about higher ideals and strength through tests, utter lack of specifics, lots of empty words that make people feel really good, as evidenced by the multiple threads posted here, and the comments they inspire.

1) His father was a literal Nazi and Arnold grew up in the aftermath of Naxism.

2) He is a Republican


Those two things give him a unique and quite credible perspective

1. Many family members of Nazis and victims of Nazis have been saying the same thing for years. He's not special.

2. He is a Republican who is saying this now, after people have died, after four years of the rest of us knowing exactly who these fascists are. "Credible" isn't exactly the word I would use for it.

One of the best I've seen. Very eloquent and moving.

Sadly we seem to need reminding all to often that Nazi Germany gave the world a lesson it must never forget.
