Grand Old Nazi Party

We on the left have taken a lot of flack and been accused of hate speech because of our comparing the current Republican party to the Nazis. While it's true that they haven't yet killed 6 million Jews or 5 million gays, gypsies and disabled people, they have only been in power for 5 years. But their balls are getting bigger and bigger by the day. So if anyone tells you it's ludicrous to make the comparison, just point them to these little bits of current events.

Alabama Bill Targets Gay Authors. And not just gay authors, this bill in the Junkyard State would also prohibit state libraries from buying books with gay characters as well. And just think what kind of books would be banned:

Books by any gay author would have to go: Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote and Gore Vidal. Alice Walker's novel The Color Purple has lesbian characters.

The fucking Color Purple would be banned. Think about that. I would imagine they could find a way to ban To Kill A Mockingbird since one of the children is based on Truman Capote. In case anyone forgot, this is exactly the kind of thing the Nazi party did in the early 30s - ban/burn books by Jews, gays, leftist, and "intellectuals".

More attacks against homosexuals is happening in Dubya's home state. The Texas state house passed a bill that would ban gays/lesbians/bisexuals from being foster parents. This despite the fact that there are already not enough foster parent to meet the needs of all the parent-less children in the state. And then they pull stupid shit like this:

Talton said his action was prompted by studies regarding the suitability of gays and lesbians to be parents.

"What studies are those," Coleman asked.

Talton thumbed through a pocket-sized, thin book and occasionally read what he said were the results of studies done regarding children and gays and lesbians and told Coleman, "I'll quote you a study if you want to know."

Reading, he said, "It says parents influence the sexual orientation of their children."

He quoted another study, "There was a 14-year study comparing 25 children of 18 lesbian mothers against 21 children of 16 single, heterosexual mothers. When asked what they thought their mothers wanted them to become... 40 percent of the children of lesbian mothers said their mother wanted them to become homosexual."

When asked by the Voice to identify the title of the book from which he read, staff at Talton's Austin office would not say.

Hey, you know what Rep. Talton? I've got a study that says kids who grow up in conservative households grow up to be axe murderers. No, you can't see it or know where it's from. Just trust me. Hitler had a lot of studies that proved Jews were inferior humans. I don't think any of them were published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Everyone is still looking for the publication that did the "gay parents are bad" study the Alabama Nazi referred to. I wonder if anyone has looked to see if it is one of Mengele's studies.

And now of course they are threatening judges. First Tom DeLay says the judges who made the Schiavo decision will "answer" for it, Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) gives a speech on the floor of the Senate saying its understandable that people are committing violence against judges, and the conservatives are calling for the impeachment or execution of any judge who rules against them:

Michael P. Farris, chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association, said Kennedy "should be the poster boy for impeachment" for citing international norms in his opinions. "If our congressmen and senators do not have the courage to impeach and remove from office Justice Kennedy, they ought to be impeached as well."

Not to be outdone, lawyer-author Edwin Vieira told the gathering that Kennedy should be impeached because his philosophy, evidenced in his opinion striking down an anti-sodomy statute, "upholds Marxist, Leninist, satanic principles drawn from foreign law."

Ominously, Vieira continued by saying his "bottom line" for dealing with the Supreme Court comes from Joseph Stalin. "He had a slogan, and it worked very well for him, whenever he ran into difficulty: 'no man, no problem,' " Vieira said.

The full Stalin quote, for those who don't recognize it, is "Death solves all problems: no man, no problem."

Wow, that sounds really familiar - Means Used by the Nazi Conspirators in Gaining Control of the German State:

Like all other public officials, German judges who failed to meet Nazi racial and political requirements became the subject of a wide-spread purge. Non-Aryans, political opponents of the Nazis, and all persons suspected of antagonism to the aims of the Party were summarily removed (2967-PS). The provisions of the Law for the Restoration of Professional Civil Service of 7 April 1933 applied to all judges. This was declared expressly in the third regulation for the administration of the law. (2867- PS)

I think I've made my point. I'll leave you with this little quote from the Justice Sunday rally held this last weekend. James Dobson, the head of Focus on the Family, referring to the Roe v. Wade decision said "The biggest Holocaust in world history came out of the Supreme Court".

He made that statement at the same time Jews around the world were celebrating the second night of Passover.

Fuck these people.
