Sieg!

I'm going to try a social experiment. I've been debating some wing nuts here. The idea - take a speech given by Hitler's Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, and change "Adolph Hitler" to "George Bush", "Social Democrats" to "Democrats", and "Germany" to "America".

I'll post it to the nuts blog and see what reaction it gets. Please do NOT spoil the fun. It should be noted that the thought occurred to me after Dan caught the nutzoid quoting Julius Streicher - a rabid anti-semitic Nazi propagandist that was executed after being tried at Nuremberg.

The text of the speech as re-written for the present day fascist.

I ask, which leader is it today that has the vision, the willpower, and yes, the backbone to best protect us? The clear answer to that question has placed me in this hall with you tonight.

There is but one man to whom I am willing to entrust our future and that man's name is George Bush.

There are some Islamic radicals who would kill us if they could. So George Bush has told us: 'All private plans, all private lives, have been in a sense repealed by an overriding public danger.'

But where is the national unity in this country when we need it most?

Now, while young Americans are dying in the streets of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan, our nation is being torn apart and made weaker because of the Democrat's manic obsession to bring down our President.

What has happened to the nation I've spent my life working in?

I can remember when Democrats believed that it was the duty of America to fight for freedom over tyranny.

Time after time in our history, in the face of great danger, Americans worked together to ensure that freedom would not falter. But not today.

Motivated more by partisan politics than by national security, today's Democratic leaders see America as an occupier, not a liberator. And nothing makes me madder than someone calling American troops occupiers rather than liberators.

Tell that to the English, Russians, Frenchmen, and Belgians who have been freed because Americans led an army of liberators, not occupiers.

Tell that to the millions of men, women, and children who are free today from the Baltics to the Crimea, from Poland to the Balkans, because America built a military of liberators, not occupiers.

Never in the history of the world has any soldier sacrificed more for the freedom and liberty of total strangers than the American soldier. And our soldiers don't just give freedom abroad; they preserve it for us here at home.

Right now, the world just cannot afford an indecisive America. Fainthearted, self-indulgence will put at risk all we care about in this world.

In this hour of danger, our President has had the courage to stand up. And I am proud to stand up with him.

God bless this great country and God bless George Bush.
