Introduction

Some Hateful Ideas
And Their Legacy in the Conservative Right*

Sometimes it only takes a little time for even the most hateful ideas to catch on. With enough power and money‹especially money--the most heinous ideas can become "acceptable" and appear "respectable" to some. Such are the ideas of white male racial superiority and the implied right to power over all others. This includes the additional implied right to "phase out" of existence others who are held to be inferior. These ideas and their underlying rationale were the basis of Hitler's National Socialism. Though Allied Forces put an end to Hitler and his Third Reich over fifty years ago, ideas of Nazism are still very much alive. They are still wreaking pain, suffering, and death on those whom the Powerful decide are unfit to live.

3. Probably even more relevant today.

Bush's War was most certainly a tool to rally fascistic thinking laying dormant in their base. The level of patriotic bloodlust is even worse than it was back in the 60's. Probably because we can see it, 1st hand, in the on-line screeds of these people. When a major RW commentator can off-handedly broach the subject of wiping out an entire nation of 24MM people,Hitler had nothing on these folks.
