Kampf We Can Believe In

Posted 27 Feb 2008 in 2008 election, Barack Obama, wise quotes

changeOk, I know this is in complete violation of Godwin’s Law, but I just can’t help myself! I saw some things today that were too good to pass up. So indulge my hyperbole and take it with a moderate size grain of salt. :)

The Democrats’ constant drumbeat of “change” – while irritating – is really nothing new. Just look back a few years. Tundra Politics noticed a similarity in their propensity for slogans:

“The receptivity of the great masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in sloans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan. As soon as you sacrifice this slogan and try to be many-sided, the effect will piddle away, for the crowd can neither digest nor retain the material offered. In this way the result is weakened and in the end entirely cancelled out.”

Yep, that was “der Führer” from his loony manifesto, Mein Kampf. As was this little gem from Stop The ACLU:

“Alles muss anders sein” (Everything must be different)

Just to be crystal clear, I’m not saying Obama is Hitler. He seems like a nice enough guy. I just disagree strongly with his collectivist plans to alter America and have noticed a similarity in his populist campaign style.

It seems there really is nothing new under the sun.

Change, eh? Well, there’s another good historical quote on the subject:

“If a million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing” – Anatole France
