When Hitler first came to power, Rev. Martin Niemoller was a supporter, During WWI, before he became a pastor Martin Niemoller was a U-boat captain. After the war, when Germany was suffering under the war reparations, and Hitler was an up and coming political force, The NAZI party was so proud to have his support that the Nazi's even touted his support in their press releases. Then after stating, "I would rather burn his church to the ground, than to preach the Nazi trinity of 'race, blood, and soil.'" Neimoller began criticizing the party. By 1933, he organized the Pastor's Emergency League to protect Lutheran pastors from the police. In 1934, he was one of the leading organizers at the Barmen Synod, which produced the theological basis for the Confessing Church. Despite persecution from the government, the church became an enduring symbol of German resistance to Hitler.
Up until 1937, he was protected by both the foreign press and his influential friends in the up-scale Berlin suburb where he preached. Eventually he was arrested for treason, and be held at the Sachsenhausen and Dachau concentration camps. Near the end of the war, he narrowly escaped execution. Years later, Martin would write the following about why the German people failed to stop the Nazis.

Sometimes I get an eery feeling that history is beginning to repeat itself. After all, it has been said that those who fail to learn from the past will inevitably repeat it, and just like Hitler blamed everyone and anyone for the troubles of the country, Obama is now doing the same thing. Id there anyone left that he has yet to blame for our problems? Yes, himself, the Democrats, and the policies they put in place from January 2009 up through December 2012. In his Hub post today, Toby has listed all the people and institutions that Obama has accused of causing our troubles, he has also added the dates of when Obama made those accusations. I advise you to take head of what Toby points out, because you could be next..

Understanding Obama, Why Nothing is His Fault
From Toby's Hub As President of the most powerful nation on the planet, for now, Obama is the epitome of leadership. He just has pathetic followers. In his own words: Obama blames struggling economy on earthquake in Japan (Aug. 5, 2011) Obama blames 'messy' democracy for failed policies (Aug. 3, 2011) Obama blames Congress for debt mess (Jun. 29, 2011) Obama blames Republicans for slow movement on immigration (Jul. 25, 2011) Obama blames media for lack of compromise in Congress (Jul. 22, 2011) Obama blames struggling economy on technology (Jun. 14, 2011) Obama blames speculators for high gas prices (Apr. 19, 2011) Obama blames Reagan for out of control debt (Apr. 13, 2011) Obama blames Bush of lack of fiscal discipline (Apr. 13, 2011) Obama blames Bush for putting off tough decisions (Aug. 17 2010) Obama blames Bush for current deficit (Jun. 30, 2010) Obama blames Bush for deficit (Jun. 8, 2010) Obama blames Republicans for Gulf oil spill (Jun. 3, 2010) Obama blames Republicans for inability to solve problems (Jun. 3, 2010) Obama blames corporations for current economic problems (Jun. 3, 2010) Obama blames Bush for overall economic problems (Apr. 19, 2010) Obama blames Bush and Congress for deficits (Feb. 1, 2010) Obama blames Bush for current regulatory policies (Jan. 17, 2010) Obama blames corporations for everybody's problems (Jun. 3, 2010) Obama blames Bush for overall economic standing (Apr. 19, 2010) Obama blames Bush and Congress for deficits (Feb. 1, 2010) Obama blames Bush for current regulatory policies (Jan. 17, 2010) Obama blames Wall Street for economic disaster (Dec. 13, 2009) Obama blames Bush for current economy (Sep. 27, 2009) Obama blames Bush for stifling unions (Sep. 7, 2009) Obama blames Bush for lost jobs (Jul. 22, 2009) Obama blames Bush for deficits (Feb. 23, 2009) Obama blames Fox News for everything (Oct. 8, 2008) Obama blames Fox News for loss in Kentucky (May 6, 2008) Obama blames Washington for high gas prices (Apr. 25, 2008) Obama blames press for rejected energy plan (Apr. 25, 2008) So you see, none of this is Obama's fault. Why, it's as if he only became President last weekend. Obama knows absolutely nothing of being President. He only plays one on TV. |

Your blog is utter garbage. Funny how idiots like you always compare Obama to Hitler. Are you worried about him committing genocide? Well if you are, you're a total retard. If you aren't, then please go ahead and explain what was so terrible in Germany during Hitler's reign. Was it the strong economy? Excellent health care? Excellent education system? I apologize if you are uncomfortable addressing the actual issues regarding your stupid Obama to Hitler comparison. I know fear mongering is your only intention, not objectively analyzing facts. Oh... and your usage of that poem is beyond unoriginal, you schmuck.
How quaint, a real racist Nazi has come to defend Obama. You obviously do not find any problems with the way Hitler ran Germany, so why would you have any problem with the way Obama runs America.
You need to watch "Schindler's List" my friend, because you obviously have no clue as to what that type of totalitarian rule can lead to.
As for Germany's great health care system under Hitler, tell that to the millions of Jews he cremated, or the many tests they did on twins.
Lets us look at the way he used slave labor in the many concentration camps to do the work so the Germans could live good, while their children were indoctrinated in state school systems that controlled their whole life. Or have you forgotten the Hitler youth that Hitlers great education system produced.
Like I said, you need to watch Schindler's List, to see what was really behind that great system Hitler had that you and your god Obama would like to emulate.
You are truly confused about what freedom means to humans, if you think it entails having the state controlling everything. Totalitarianism is always rosy at first, but wait for the first 5 year program to fail.
Then again, as long as the trains run on time I guess you would be happy. All the the bad things you hear about but never see, are just a bunch of rumors repeated by a bunch of malcontents right? Like the Holocaust was just a figment of some propagandists imagination.
Hitler like Obama was a Socialist.
Learn it and understand it, because I get real tired of you idiots on the left describing Hitler as a right winger. He was a SOCIALIST that allowed businesses to be run by whom he chose, as long as they followed his rules. just as he fired the President of GM, Hitler did do with industrie4s that would not conform to his desires. Watch "Schindler's List" and you might get a clue.
I guess I will have to post an article that will educate you Obama loving Communist, Fascist, Nazi, Socialists! They are all the Totalitarian political philosophies that are birds of the same feathers.
So you do think Obama's intention is genocide? I mean, your comparison has nothing to do with anything BUT the Holocaust. What I'm asking you to do is describe the economy, health care and educational systems of the 1930's in Germany... which you can't do because you know nothing about it. You have no intention of discussing the actual facts of Germany's socialist system. You only want to fear monger and act as if Obama wants to start gassing people. You're either a scared little baby, an ignorant fool, or a liar. None of which is good, but all of which I believe you probably are.
Also, the comparison between Obama and Hitler is disgusting coming from someone calling themselves a Christian. You're using the death of 6 million Jews to further your political agenda. Reprehensible and totally unoriginal as well.
Now, please, go on. I'm a Nazi, right? Blah, blah, blah. Predictable blathering from an unoriginal tea bag fool. By the way... Jesus was the absolute epitome of a Socialist. But I'm sure you already knew that, Mr. Born Again. Bwahahahaha...
First off, you are rambling. I said and proved that Obama is a fascist, as for Jesus, read this, I wrote it about two years ago. It should dispel any thought you have about Christ being a socialist.
"Was Jesus a Socialist?"
It has been the aim of the Democrat party since they lost the Presidential election in 2004 to subvert the Christian doctrine with the claim that Jesus was a socialist. Their goal is to convince Christians that their Social agenda is morally equivalent with the teachings and life of Jesus Christ. Considering the lack of historical and Biblical knowledge most Americans have, it is not surprising that many have fallen for the misinformation on what Jesus taught (and for whom the teachings were given). These Biblical revisionists have become especially adept at cherry picking Scripture to suit their agenda. Hence, many have come to misunderstand the gospel of Christ by equating it with modern day Socialism.
My first point of contention with the idea that Christ was a socialist, is His teachings and the example of His life. Throughout the time that Christ lived with His disciples, He never worked. Instead he was dependent upon the charity and good hearts of those who surrounded Him. Now that is not to say Jesus was lazy or a bum either. Jesus was always about His Fathers business, and that business was the salvation of mankind. Nowhere in the Scriptures will you find Jesus telling His followers to rely upon anyone except those who were willing to hear the gospel and share what they had. If the people refused to hear the gospel or be charitable, Jesus told His disciples to rebuke them and go to others who were willing to hear the teachings, as when He sent them out by pairs. (Matthew chapter 10)
I must emphasize that all of the lessons Jesus taught were for those who followed Him, or would listen to His teachings. When a person asked for healing or for forgiveness, Jesus always told them that their sins were forgiven and to go and sin no more. As for money, there was only one time He mentioned the wealth of an individual and that was because that individual treasured his wealth over God. Jesus used the incident as a lesson to tell His disciples that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle then for a rich man to get into heaven. Not impossible, but more difficult. He tells us elsewhere that where your treasure is there too is where your heart will be.(Matthew 6:21)
Jesus also taught that we should not let our charitable work be publicly known. (Matthew 6:1-4) Those who love to brag about all the good they have done for others through the Social programs of the government would not be true followers of Jesus or his teachings.
When Jesus did finally have His big chance to influence the government and it's rulers, he did not broach the subject of socialism or it's supposed glory. Not only did He not enlighten them upon the benefits of Socialism, He would not even share the Gospel with them.
If Jesus was the great Socialist leader the left wants you to believe then why would He not get the government to follow His lead. After all, the perfect time to influence the government was when he was in front of Pontius Pilot or Herod. He did not. The Scriptures tell us that He kept silent in front of Herod. (Luke 23:6- 12) He said only a few words to Pontius Pilot. (John 18:33-19:11) That is because Jesus did not come to influence the government, but the people who needed salvation. He wanted men to believe in Him not some social agenda that would get the government to do what Christians were called to do. These are the lessons His disciples continued to teach after he was gone, and those lessons would come into play in the Book of Acts.
Most people have heard the story about the early days of Christianity, where everyone sold their possessions and distributed the proceeds to other Christians in need.(Acts 4:34-35) This is one of the main Scriptures used by the left to convince people that the early Christians practiced Socialism. Unfortunately, many people do not realize that this is something that happened mainly among the Christian believers. By taking into consideration the historical setting of the Book of Acts, you will begin to better understand the reason why there was a need for this kind of outpouring among the early Christians.
During the time when Christ walked among us and taught His disciples, and later after His crucifixion, resurrection and ascension into Heaven, Jerusalem was an economically depressed area. Most of the employment opportunities centered around the building of Herod's Temple, and the only ones eligible to work on the Temple were Jews. The only Jews that were allowed to work on the Temple were those who were ceremonially clean. Anyone that was unclean or found to be unfit by the priests were barred from working on the Temple. There were various reasons one could be considered unclean or at odds with the Priests who controlled the work force. A Jew who openly confessed faith in Christ and followed His teachings, was automatically considered a Heretic and unfit for consideration of employment in the Temple. They were also ostracized by their close relatives and the community, and soon found themselves unable to support themselves or their family.
It was under these conditions that the first Christians came together and pooled their resources so that the many who lacked the basics to care for themselves could be taken care of in the face of such harsh treatment in their communities. These early Christians were not only shunned by society, but many like Stephen were stoned to death for their faith in Christ. All they had was other Christians to depend upon. So while we do read in the Book of Acts about communal living, where all things were in common, it was from the excess many had so that those in need could be cared for. That does not mean that all were equal, or that those who had means split those means equally with those who did not have means, but rather they provided for the necessities of those who could not do so for themselves. What the Book of Acts records is that the early Christians stepped up and did what Christ called them to do.
We can also see in the Book of Acts that a Christian could give as much or as little as they wanted, as in the account of Ananias and his wife Sapphira. (Acts 5:1-10) The Scriptures tell us they were put to death by the Holy Spirit for lying about how much they received because they wanted everyone to believe they donated all the proceeds from some possessions they sold. The lesson we learn from the incident is that they were not required to give everything but to be honest about their donation. Later when it was prophesied that a famine would come to the land, the disciples in Antioch collected money to send with Paul and Barnabas to be delivered to Jerusalem. (Acts 11:27-30) They did not ask Herod, Caesar, the Jews, or unbelieving Gentiles for help, they collected the money from other Christians.
Now for those who want to equate this outpouring of sharing with the idea of modern day socialism, I would suggest a short course in Biblical Theology. Christianity teaches that it is up to the individual to care for others, whereas, Socialism demands forced equality enacted by the government. Also, while it is the Christian's obligation to look after the widows and the poor, Paul specifically told the Thessalonians in his 2nd letter to them, that if a healthy able bodied brother will not work he will not eat. (2 Thessalonians 3:10) Socialism on the other hand, not only promotes but demands that those who work will feed those who are lazy and will not work. This is not what Christ taught. Jesus did not have the Good Samaritan in Luke's Gospel tell the injured man in the road to seek a government social worker. The Good Samaritan gave of what was his own willingly, not under the duress of the state. (Luke 10:25-37)
Throughout the life of Christ, He always emphasized personal responsibility and love. That is because Christ came to save mankind from the penalty of sin, which is eternal death. It is through the substitutionary death of Christ and His resurrection that we are provided with the means for justification and thus salvation. Jesus said that all who believe and receive Him through faith, will be born again and saved to become children of God. Christ could care less about the governments and their so-called compassion. That is why you will not find anywhere in the Scriptures a verse that says He died for the salvation of the state.
Jesus died for the salvation of man and it is men's hearts that will be judged on judgment day. No man will be judged according to how much he paid in taxes, or how many government programs he supported We are told to pay tribute to our rulers if they ask, but charity starts and ends at home with each individual. That is why Christ said, “Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.” Notice that He said, as you did, not as the government did. (Matthew 25:35-39 )
One last point that needs to be made, and that is for anyone who doubts that Communism and Socialism are two feathers from the same bird. Frederick Engels' wrote the preface to the 1888 edition of the “Communist Manifesto”, in which he declares that the Communist Manifesto "is undoubtedly the most widespread, the most international production of all Socialist literature, the common platform acknowledged by millions of working men from Siberia to California."
Socialism means economic control of the people by government. In a socialist country, the state is all-powerful. Such an all-powerful state views itself and not God as the ultimate authority. It is not surprising, therefore, that the Communist Manifesto calls for abolishing family, marriage, countries, and religion as well as private property. Under the socialist system the state determines what is right and wrong without any competing loyalties to God, family, or country.
Make no mistake about it, Jesus was not what politicians and their mimics in the media claim He was. He was not, and He did not teach, Socialism. He said I am the way, the truth, and the light, no one comes to the Father accept through Me. Christians are called to be the light of the world, we should influence the world through our lives and share the gospel with those who are receptive. If the Gospel, as Christ taught it, is rejected by those we whom we share it, then we are told to kick the dust from our shoes and go on. (Mark 6:11) We are not instructed to force them to be loving and charitable through the power of a Socialized government.
It definitely did not dispel any thoughts I had about Christ being a socialist. His ideology is FAR more in line with socialism than capitalism. To suggest otherwise is straight denial.
Your rant is nothing more than the transparent, connect the dots horsecrap I've come to expect from the Tea Party clowns. Using the Holocaust and perverting their own religion to promote their political agenda. It's really disturbing... and the same thing Muslim extremists do to justify acts of terror.
Then you are obviously an idiot, because the only way Christ could be considered a socialist is to prove he was pro homosexual, and supported the idea that perfectly healthy men need not work to get by in life like you and your socialist buddies are.
Christ is God, and God is the same today, yesterday and forever. Other then ending the regulations for religious ceremonies that surrounded the Israelites, Christ did not change one thing that God set in place by Moses for the Israelites. So how can you claim that God is a socialist? If you are able to work and work is available, yet you refuse to work, then God says you will not eat of the fruits of others labor.
Socialism says you can still share in the fruits of others labor, even if you refuse to work while able and when work is available.
Good day sir
Well, well, well. What do you think about Obama's genocidal ideology now that he is commanding Catholic institutions to go against their theology? Wake up ****-breath! If anyone is clueless it is you if you think this piece of shit in the White House that YOU call the president isn't controlled and in league with those that want to destroy this country. Unfortunately you're probably the product of public education.
