This Isn’t New

The first time I was called a Nazi goes all the way back to when I was in school in 1964. A couple of people I went to school with were volunteering at the Democrat Party booth at a fair. When I walked by, they screamed, “Gary Bauer is a Nazi!”

The left called Richard Nixon a Nazi. They said Ronald Reagan was fascist to the core. They called John McCain, who spent years in a POW camp, a Nazi. Even Mitt Romney, who barely had any fight in him, was a fascist in waiting.

In these past cases, there was still some semblance of real journalism and a non-establishment, non-state media that would push back a little. Today, there’s virtually no resistance. In fact, the fake news media are amplifying the false allegations.

It’s not just happening here. Every movement in Europe that wants to reestablish control of their borders and stop the fundamental transformation of their country by importing massive numbers of Third World migrants is immediately labeled “fascist” or “Nazi.”

The left and the United Nations use adjectives usually reserved for actual Nazis and aim them at Israel, the only democratic nation in the Middle East. “Israel is committing genocide,” they say. “There’s a Holocaust in Gaza.” “Benjamin Netanyahu is Hitler.”

The only way you can make the attacks worse, in Europe and here, is to say:

“I believe in religious liberty, but I’m really worried that we are losing our roots in Judeo-Christian civilization. I don’t want that civilization to disappear. I don’t want it to be overwhelmed by Islamic supremacists. I want there to be some countries in the world based on Judeo-Christian values.”

If you say that, it is not only predictable that radical leftists will call you “fascist” and “Nazi,” -- and this is important -- they will try to kill you. They have done it repeatedly in Europe and Latin America.
