Some more right wing anti-war quotes...

[iamthebandfanman]

to go along with the other libertarian/conservative politicians getting a voice on DU for their newly found anti war stance...


"National Socialist Germany wants peace because of its fundamental convictions. And it wants peace also owing to the realization of the simple primitive fact that no war would be likely essentially to alter the distress in Europe... The principal effect of every war is to destroy the flower of the nation... Germany needs peace and desires peace!" - Adolf Hitler, (May 21, 1935)

"First, we swear to yield to no force whatever in restoration of the honor of our people... Secondly, we pledge that now, more than ever, we shall strive for an understanding between the European peoples, especially for one with our Western neighbor nations... We have no territorial demands to make in Europe!... Germany will never break the peace!" - Adolf Hitler, (after Nazi troops had marched in the Rhinelandin 1936)

1. Guess it's not only the WH and State Dept. playing the Hitler card.

2. Who's emboldening terrorism?

3. So we should rather follow his example and speak of peace while bringing war?

Also notice that his actions do not line up with what he was saying. How about we quote a couple of people who did more than pay lip service to peace and non-violence.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.... The chain reaction of evil — hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars — must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.

I would rather speak of peace and have my actions match my words like the people above.

4. OMG! I'm just like Hitler.

I thought it was silly to try and intervene militarily in a situation wihtout any clear goal other than meaningless posturing but in fact it turns out I'm a Nazi!

This is almost as embarassing as the time I thought drones were evil and it turned out I was racist!

5. This just might be the most despicable OP I've ever seen on this site.

Congratulations.

6. If you're anti-war you're pro-Hitler is quite the fucked up meme, indeed. nt
