NAZI

Ok quick don’t think what picture just flashed in your head?

NAZI

A little boy in hat coat and shorts, hands over his head, rounded up in the ghetto

NAZI

A mother clutching her daughter fleeing from a uniformed soldier who shoots them down

NAZI

A Pole kneeling by a mass grave, another uniform pointing a Luger at his head

NAZI

Two partisans, the woman already hanging, the man about to be so

NAZI

Confused scared uncertain being loaded onto trains

NAZI

Children being torn from their mothers, husbands from wives, as they exit the train

NAZI

Screaming, pandemonium, gunfire

NAZI

A sign, Arbeit Macht Frei

NAZI

The now apocalyptic gate at Auschwitz in the snow

NAZI

Gas chambers, smoke stacks

SOUP NAZI

Some sitcom buffoon not wanting to sell you his soup

WTF?? You say.

Words are powerful, I say.

“They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I say one word is worth a thousand pictures. If
it’s the right word.” – Edward Abbey

While we may not be making our living with words, we most certainly are trying to influence global events with them.

Think about that for a moment, because maybe that hasn’t sunk in on everyone yet. With our words we are trying to influence global events.

Sure, your neighbor may be reading what you write and may or may not agree. But so may an advisor to Obama. Or Bin Laden himself from wherever he’s shitting right now (Hey! Osama! You old goat fucker! I got some words for you that will bring you vivid pictures and probably get me locked away in a rubber room!).

So we need be mindful of the words we use. Obviously I’m not talking about shit or fuck – I use them as much as the next fellow Hey Pastorius how ya doin’! --but I am talking about words like

NAZI

The very seed sperm and spawn of Satan. Possibly the worst evil this world has yet seen. But when we use it for something else we begin to marginalize the word. The word begins to lose it’s impact. When we use it to describe protestors we don’t agree with. When they use it to describe the previous tenant of record at the White House. Or Cheney. Or we for VB. Or for the Israelis protecting themselves.

The word loses it’s strength. And we begin to forget it’s history of horror, history itself becomes trivialized. And that’s dangerous as we head into very uncertain and possibly dark times

Use it too often and we begin to lampoon ourselves, and may turn away the very people we need to attract and get the word to.

Another word.

Nigger.

Just six letters but so full of hate it actually pains the eye, you turn your head in revolt. So vile I
won't type it again.

Images of men in white hoods, Odin’s Cross on capes, a burning cross, lynchings, buses, whites only fountains and blacks not served here.

That word, too, is being trivialized. By the very people it was meant to slander.

I’m not saying check your language for political correctness . PC has destroyed our language. Fouled it. Trivialized it.

But be careful of the words you choose. They have lasting impact.

We are coming upon a crossroads of history, where The Devil himself may be waiting to make a deal. Curse him as you should. But be careful the words you choose. Or he may turn them on you and take you down with him.

YOU HEAR THAT OSAMA YOU OLD GOAT FUCKER YOU! ? HEY! I’M TALKING TO YOU!

You Fucking Nazi.

Looking at that photo, I can now understand why they're referred to as 'arse-sniffers'

LOL

By the way, good post, MR.

And, not only should we be careful about our language when discussing who is a

Fascist
Nazi
Nationalist
Ethnic Nationalist
White Supremacist

etc.

But, we should also be very careful about how we use these words

ally
Big Tent
counter-Jihadist
friend

Another word that has truly been screwed up (within the counter-Jihad) is the word

movement

We used to be a movement, in the sense that we worked together toward a common goal.

Now, we more closely resemble a bodily function involving the elimination of fecal matter.

Ally, Big Tent, Counter-Jihadist, friend ==

Exactly what I'm talking about. We may use these words loosely and when the time comes and the MSM gets out their big brush we'll all be painted the same. "VB is an ally" ergo you must think the same as VB, for example.

And Pasto, a movement is a movement either way ;>)
