Midge Decter, Nazis, and the privatizing of our military: |
|
Edited on Fri Apr-23-04 08:17 AM by LandOLincoln
Tried to get through to C-Span to ask how she, a signatory (or so I've heard, since I can't seem to find that page) to the PNAC, can justify their solution to the Nazis' "Final Solution" by effectively becoming Nazis themselves?
And why are most RWers so very goddamned ugly?? Can there be a connection to their inner vileness? Nah, 'course not. Not PC, you know...
But what I really want to know is--am I the only one who thinks it obvious that not only are these nutcases bent on colonizing the world, but that they're hellbent on privatizing our military in order to do it?
on edit: multiple typos. Damn but it's early...

That's all I could think when I heard this old bat spewing such hatred and nonsense. She's lived in this glass elistist bowl for all her frustrated life and now appears so damn self-rightous and stupid at the same time how anyone can find common cause with her is beyond me.
She's Lucianne without the smoker's cough...never able to make it in the "mainstream" and spent years in the "think tank world" (did you see her eyes light up when Heritage Foundation was mentioned???) that bred all the conveluted theories and agendas that have destroyed this country. And she's totally oblivious to how out of touch with reality she is. But it doesn't matter...she'll never have to leave her posh 5th Avenue apartment and any labor is done by the "colored fella".
These people value their lives in the size of their portfolios and their status...how they rate against their other social climbers. You never have enough or can outdo the next guy. It leads one to live the life of a lie and endless frustration when reality comes calling. There's no compassion for others since they have such little self esteem in themselves...they're lives are totally absorbed with impressing others.
Mornin' from another Land O' Lincolner...
Cheers!

at her face is impossible. Then what she said... oh my!

3. in the 60s she freaked at the 'youth culture' |
|
Her husband is/was Podhoretz, editor of Commentary - once a great journal.
I remember seeing her rants vs New Left, feminists, students vs the VN War, etc.

I know what you mean. There's a certain soft jowly Rovian look that always means you're dealing with a Republican and possibly one with high-level administration connections. Why is that ?

9. Privatized Army = Waffen SS |
|
German Army in the late 1930's was desperate for transport, especially trucks, to be able to pull off thier 'Blitzkrieg' tactics. The SturmStaffen (SS, the Nazi's private army) had trucks but not heavy weapons. Rather than do the Socialist thing (take the SS's trucks and give them to the army), they did the Corperist thing and gave heavy weapons to a private organization and made the SS a direct part of thier war plans... it didn't take long for SS units to be the best equiped part of the German Military, and they were never fully under the control of the German Army (Wehrmacht).
See any similarities?
