We frequently see liberals on this board and in other venues comparing conservatives to Hitler and the Nazis. This is not only erroneous but very ironic, since the Nazis had much more in common with American liberals than they did with American conservatives. A few points of resemblance between the Nazis and modern American liberals (links will be provided at the end):
* The Nazis hated all traditional religions, especially Christianity and Judaism. (FYI, the Nazis murdered tens of thousands of Christians and thousands of priests and nuns.)
* The Nazis were huge believers in Darwinian evolution, and in fact used it as a major part of their Holocaust ideology.
* The Nazis asserted the right to replace and appoint priests and pastors and/or to shut down churches that they believed were teaching "harmful," "dangerous" principles.
* The Nazis targeted private Christian schools to prevent children from being taught traditional values and beliefs.
* The Nazis insisted on total control over education. All school curricula had to be approved by the national government.
* The Nazis more than tolerated homosexuality in their high-ranking circles. In fact, many Nazi founders and leaders were gay. There is evidence that Hitler himself was gay and later bi-sexual. (It's true that the Nazis publicly condemned and persecuted some gays, but this was a smokescreen to hide their own perversion and to target enemies who happened to be gay.)
* The Nazis believed that the government had the right to regulate or take over any business that it wanted to regulate or own.
* The Nazis rejected traditional values.
* The Nazis sought to impose abortion on women who were "non-Aryan." They had no problem with abortion per se, but they didn't want "pure Aryan women" having abortions. When the Nazis came to power, they loosened Germany's anti-abortion laws.
* The Nazis banned gun ownership for groups they believed posed a threat, especially Jews, and they insisted on national/universal gun registration. Most ordinary German citizens could own guns if they so desired, but the Nazis claimed the right to ban any group or person from owning guns if they felt the need to do so.
* The Nazis rejected federalism/local control and sought to centralize all power in the national government.
So the next time you see some liberal compare conservatives to the Nazis, remind them that Hitler and the Nazis had much more in common with American liberals than they did with American conservatives.
