WOW!! I never realized how many Alabama high school grads were on here! You all did a good spelling job.. I give you all an "A"!

Now Good luck in the world!

Do the anarchists include the ILLEGAL HISPANIC CONQUISTADORS that don't follow the USA's laws will they be arrested ? how can they arrest anyone when they don't have the ballz to arrest criminals that advertise they are breaking the laws and...???"? will ICE be there to arrest them since the conquistadors have made it their goal of proclaiming their illegal status will these criminals be arrested?

A federal law enforcement bulletin "assesses with high confidence" that extremist from anti-government Democrats/Unions/OWS = Pro-Obama voters , anarchist groups will try to use violence with the aim of disrupting both Republican political convention.

I thought the REPUBLICAN PARTY was a group of anarchists. Aren't they in favor of eliminating the EPA, HUD, FDA, OSHA, FAA, FCC, FEC, VA, SEC, FDIC... well virtually the whole government, except the Dept. of Defense and the Treasury Department, which pays the defense contractors ?

Propaganda is one of the best weapons in any political and military war chest.

Modern propaganda is an elaborate affair I do not want to spend a lot of time on that here and now.

Propaganda by definition is

Prop·a·gan·da

noun

1. information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc.

2. the deliberate spreading of such information, rumors, etc.

3. the particular doctrines or principles propagated by an organization or movement.

4. Roman Catholic Church .

a. a committee of cardinals, established in 1622 by Pope Gregory XV, having supervision over foreign missions and the training of priests for these missions.

b. a school (College of Propaganda) established by Pope Urban VIII for the education of priests for foreign missions.

5. Archaic . an organization or movement for the spreading of propaganda.

PETA and Stand up for fur, Beef it's what's for dinner

No Prayer in Schools, let each state / county decide for themselves,

The Federal authority must have central control to preserve American values,

legalize it , lock them all up..

No matter what side you are on it doesn't matter.

It is all propaganda to try to convince someone to your point of view.

Propaganda is dangerous when used on a daily unrelenting campaign.

LESSONS TO LEARN:

If you got this far, I am hoping you got here with an open mind.

If you have only negative replies, honestly I don't care.

I am not promoting anything, I am not stating my political view.

I will say I have been at times, for one side or the other, I never voted blindly.

I will say I was born shortly before the Dallas coup (This I have always believed, My mother did instill in me all she remembered from that entire weekend and the fallout after)

I served my country, I was always what I considered, “A Good American”.

It took me a long time to come to grips with what I know.

At times I do say to myself, “No it's way to over the top, it's to big, it can't be true.”

But as I read more documented FACTS, and yes some Circumstantial evidence

but circumstantial evidence based on documented facts.

I know what my vote for the verdict would be.

Some would say we are no longer a Democracy but rather a

Corporatocracy (Is a term used to suggest an economic and political system is controlled by corporations or corporate interests.[1] Its use is generally pejorative )

DO YOUR HOMEWORK , PLEASE.....

I think the title for my book will be.

"How do you convince the Right Fascism will not win hearts and minds nor is shooting at hearts and minds A Family Value I care to teach. while trying to convince the Left that communism is only sustainable if corruption is kept in check.Humanly AND Equality truly means EQUAL-Economically/Socially/Politically..so far that ideal has far from been met, All the while trying to tell the both of them to sit down and listen to each other they might actually learn something..."

But then I realized no one in this Corporatocracy would publish it, Hell I bet they would burn it.

That's too bad. The best answer is usually to take the best from both. Unfortunately they took the worst from both and look at what we have now.

Anarchist: lawless person: somebody who tries to overthrow a government or behaves in a lawless way

Protestor: persons who complain or object publicly: to express strong opposition to or disapproval of something in the form of a public demonstration or other action

Careful now, might be anarchy to set up a tent in the park or chant on the sidewalk!

Didn't happen! Imagine that!

Indigo_Rage wrote: 'Washington can't "get it done with paper"'

Actually, Washington IS getting it done with paper - printing money that's not worth the paper it's printed on, and Obama putting out Executive Orders that defy the Constitution and failing to satisfactorily answer Congressional subpoenas in Fast and Furious. Obama's Washington is papering over the Constitution and separation of powers as fast as it can.

And as to junking the whole thing and starting over, I really hope it doesn't come to that, but if it does, I hope we start out with our Constitution again, maybe eliminating the words about a militia in the 2n Amendment, and institution freedom FROM religion in the 1st Amendment.

Maybe limiting "entitlements to only those things one can lawfully acquire by the fruits of one's own efforts.

And definitely put something in about corporations NOT being people and not having rights, only having permissions under the law.

AMEN!! Things arent going to change in this country until there IS a bloody revolution. We, The People...no longer have ANY control on what these politicians do. Voting has become a waste of time because by the time the elections get to where MOST of us live...the President has already been chosen!! Whats the point then?

I say, tear it all down and star again from scratch. At least we may have a chance of getting a government we need.

While I would certainly hate to see it come down to a 2nd Civil War, I have to say I would have no option but to support one. We have peaceful means to make the changes We, the People, know need to be made. It's called a Constitutional Convention. It only takes enough of us, ordinary, everyday people to demand it, and it will happen. Much like the recall election of a useless congressperson, a Constitution Convention allows us to rewrite the very base laws of the land, including the powers of congress.

It's simply a matter of motivating enough people to make it happen.

i hate to break it to you, look it up, corporations now have the same rights as individuals under the constitution.. look it up,,,

Hence our call for bloody revolution!!

It would be next to impossible today using the internet to communicate with others of a like mind. You know what I mean? I suppose there are millions that feel that way but they either post something very offensive and have a trial, or they know better, but have no where to turn, There are a lot of reputable Let us say, companies looking for workers , some are looked over by people of UN-realistic dreams of success far beyond a small business could reach, Ya know what I mean ? If you don't mind you should see my long post on here. I personally think a lot of it is very interesting and I think others may also find it interesting.

Fun drinking game:

Every time a cop billyclubs someone, take a shot.

Every time the tazer is used, shout "Don't taze me, bro" and take a shot.

Every time you see a rioter throwing something at a cop car or a window, take a shot.

If they turn over and set a police car on fire, finish the bottle.

It could get expensive....

And talk about a killer hangover!!!

There is a difference in protesting and having your views known and looting and burning just to be mean.

I hope nobody mistakes it for Tampa winning some sort of championship

I have a hard time telling sports fans and anarchists apart.

The looting and burning is just get attention since their arguments are so weak.

When all they do is protest, fine, but when they start to use violence, they are just another hate group that desn't care who they hurt, so please, let's not throw freedom of speech in there. Freedom of speech does NOT mean freedom to be violent to others who may ALSO be practicing THEIR freedom of speech but doing so WITHOUT violence.

Hopefully this IS a false report.

Yes you are correct! Wake up people,this is what knee jerk reactions get you,Patriot Act,one day you are an American citizen then BAM the next day you are a homeland terrorist!!

I consider the "truthers"as merely another part of the New World Order alongside their alleged "foes." It's far better and easier to control a populace by making little conflicts and manufacturing disasters and confusion than it is to tell the truth about anything, right? People are so easily deceived and we will be chasing phantoms and we'll be no better than a pet trying to catch the dot of light from a laser pointer.

When a group such as the NBPP incites the people to "kill all crackers and cracker babies in their nurseries" and we ignore the threat, then what does that say about this country? I don't know about any of you but the NBPP is so full of hate it scares me. Sharpton, Wright and Farakan have been the inciters and they are frequent visitors to the WH. Obama and Holder are also at fault for failing to prosecute the Black Panthers. Now the group believes, and rightly so, that they can do whatever they wish and they'll get away with it. So much for justice of any kind in this country any more.

It's good to see others that believe we are now serfs.

They like to cloud the issue was a black white or whatever races will work.

The main problems facing the average citizen today is the economic class divide and the smoke and mirrors used to portray myth of a little hard work and luck, Leads to two things Only.

Mostly - Strapped to that work a little harder each day just to meet the increases both from the government side as well as the private side. You are a serf, A comfortable serf. But no more free than anyone else.

Two - More Rare than a Lottery jackpot. You make a product people are convinced they can't live without. You either fold or assimilate to protect your own ass-ests . Its more commonly referred to as Selling Out - See Music Industry , Facebook, Apple, Name it these days

Rubber nukes. tks to Red Dwarf. :)

Some of the time the anarchists come in the form of the police not allowing people to peacefully protest. People have a legal right to assemble and protest. If the police let them do so in a calm matter, the violence will be a lot less.

It's Florida. Everyone can carry real guns to anywhere and use them anytime.

Thank God for that Ricardo!

Can you "Stand your ground" and use your gun if someone in a pretty blue uniform decides to hit you with a club ?

With all due respect Gouranga, violence is not how we are SUPPOSED to do things in the US. Reference the wars we are in past and present, occupy protests, Rodney King, gangs, etc.

Gouranga: You are right but if you help your fellow citizens you will be the one to go to jail. The justice system only works for the criminals. You know that.

You never hear of and violent at tea party rallies, just at the occupiers crowds.

I'm not sure what you are saying. "You never hear of and violent at tea party rallies, just at the occupiers crowds."

In order to "hear of" you have to be looking. I noticed a lot of spitting at people and talk of the day when tea people will kill the libtards at TP rallies.

I also noticed "violence" at OWS rallies but it was from the police.

It's hard to be violent when you have both hands on your walker.

With ya skipper. No room for these types in the US. So far as I am concerned the police need to deal with folks who would do this with every possible means at their disposal. Should one of these folks decide to try it in NC, they will quickly find out what a 2A friendly states citizens do when these types decide to try to harm folks.

Thomas,Thomas, the congress was run by the democrats for the first two years of President Obama's administration and he has a majority in the senate now. What is it about President Bush? Do you have fanatasy about him? President Bush ran the country well though he too made mistakes, he also had FULL backing from congress to go into Iraq and Afganistan, do yourself a favor and move into the present and navigate for the future. I can reccomend a good therapist for you as well, they helped my democrat friend that was paranoid and schictzophrenic as well.

subdoc...how soon some people choose to forget that the last 2 YEARS of Bush's presidency...which is when the country REALLY starting going down the tubes...there was a Democrat majority in BOTH the House and the Senate. There was a majority in both the first 2 YEARS of Obama's administration. If Obama has been at all interested in the least with creatiing jobs and saving the fiinances of the country rather than having his name plastered on a health care bill that the majority if the country did not want our enture future might be different.

Thomas: Obama has lead us closer to the "fiscal cliff" We can NOT afford another 4 years of "Divider in Chief" Obama. This kind of news is what happens when our president is more interested in his own social agenda rather than the people's agenda. Also Washington is controlled by Democrats -helllooo -Democrat President and Democrat Senate. The Democrats particularly Harry Reid is the one you should be complaining about. He won't bring the 30 bills on his desk to the Senate floor because he's afraid it will prove how divided the Democrats really are right now.

It's nice to be an American and have the right to assemble. Or have you forgotten, America is a free country...for now.

Christopher: We already know what President Obama can't do -Romney has many successes and I have no doubt that he will get this economy moving again. Adding more people to welfare and food stamps is degrading to this country. Millions of people are STILL unemployed and should Obama be re-elected we will be saying in 4 years "millions of people are STILL unemployed" and more people are in the poverty line.

Obama cant be impeached no matter what he does. He could lose the election and decide that he doesn't want to give up the presidency and he'll be allowed to stay. He's already committed an impeachable crime but the republicans in congress are too weak to even request an investigation. All of the republicans in congress need to be voted out and replaced with republicans that will keep their promise to uphold the Constitution instead of bowing to political correctness and allowing criminal activities to occur in the White House.

thomas... let us hope that Obama does not get us beyond the brink of bankrupt before we can change administrations.

BTW since the US is nearly $16,000,000,000,000.00 IN DEBT just who is paying for all the campaign flights of Obama, Mrs. O. and Joe Boy and their entourage and Secret Service? No one in all of the media ever asks that question. By law it has to be the campaign but the last 2 months Obama has spent more than he took in (big suprise) so......

so maybe he has a few bills? You really sound desperate.

David,

Are you going for dumbest post of the day?

Here are a few clues: You can tell just by looking at them which are which - the Tea Party people don't look like feral children. They look like responsible adults.

Or just watch them for a while. If they're polite, think TP. If they pick up their litter rather than trash the place, think TP. If they look like they might have a job, think TP. If they're respectful of the people around them, think TP.

One final thing: If they use vulgar phrases like "Tea-bagger", think Anarchist.

Yep, Economan... that was my goal... to use the same attitude as you Tea-Partiers.

If TPers wanted to have a civil conversation, they should have been civil themselves. They're not and never have been...

They want to force their religion and religious views on others, keep their welfare and Medicare checks for themselves while denying others, kill off regulations that give us breathable air and drinkable water, eliminate protection from predatory practices by corporate interests, strip the public lands for their own profits, and tell women what choices they can make in life.

They seem to have forgotten that a nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members. BTW... that doesn't mean screwing them over.

The Tea Party people might not look like feral children, but they do act like them often enough. If the TP want's respect, they must give respect and earn it from others.

They do act civil, you are to immature to see that.

rgculver you are entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts. I have seen the TP in action at town halls way before Occupy. By my upbringing interruption and bullying are not civil acts

Oh David...you poor blind fool. The ones not breaking the laws and trashing the streets for the taxpayers to have to pay for the clean up are the teapartyers. You know, the ones that have actually read the laws.

The anarchists are the foul mouthed uniformed with nothing to do but trash America and complain about not enough free stuff.

Yeah...David is definitely out there.

I not real big on religion but, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that this country was founded and grounded with God in mind. Read the opening of the Constitution, look at our money, look outside of the Supreme Court. The Pilgrims came here for religious freedoms. England had a King and ONE religion. It was my way or the highway. That's not what we have here. We're not Iran!

TP Beliefs...

Christine O'Donnell "It is not enough to be abstinent with other people, YOU ALSO HAVE TO BE ABSTINENT ALONE. The Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery, so you can't masturbate without lust."

Michelle Bachmann: "Gay marriage is probably the biggest issue that will impact our state and our nation in the last, at least, thirty years. I AM NOT UNDERSTATING THAT."

Chuck Devore: "We have to prepare for the next enemy. It's not Afghanistan. It's the PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA."

Trent Franks on Obama: "He has no place in any station of government and we need to realize that he is an ENEMY OF HUMANITY."

Glen Urquhart: "The exact phrase 'separation of Church and State' came out of Adolph HItler's mouth, that's where it comes from. So the next time your liberal friends talk about the separation of Church and State, ASK THEM WHY THEY'RE NAZIS."

Carl Paladino on housing poor people in prisons: "THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL PROPERTIES with basketball courts, bathroom facilities, toilet facilities. Many young people would love to get the hell out of cities"

Steve King on Obama winning the election: "The radical Islamists, the al-Qaeda... would be DANCING IN THE STREETS in greater numbers than they did on Sept. 11 because they would declare victory in this war on terror."

Lamar Smith: "The greatest threat to America is not necessarily a recession or even another terrorist attack. The greatest threat to America is a LIBERAL MEDIA BIAS."

Rand Paul on health care: "The fundamental reason WHY MEDICARE IS FAILING is WHY THE SOVIET UNION FAILED -- socialism doesn't work

Sarah Palin: "The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'DEATH PANEL' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'LEVEL OF PRODUCTIVITY IN SOCIETY' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil."

Sarah Palin: ''I didn't really had a good answer, as so often — is me.''

Sarah Palin: "But obviously, we've got to stand with our North Korean allies"

Sharron Angle: People ask me, 'What are you going to do to develop jobs in your state?' Well, that's not my job as a U.S. senator.

Sharron Angle's thoughts on phasing out Social Security in favor of a system resembling the one created in the 1980s by right-wing Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet: When I said privatize, that's what I meant. That I thought we would just have to go to the private sector for a template on how this is supposed to be done. However, I've since been studying and Chile has done this.

Michele Bachmann: “There are hundreds and hundreds of scientists, many of them holding Nobel Prizes, who believe in intelligent design.”

Thomas Head: "Obama will try to give the sovereignty of the United States away to the United Nations. What do you think the public's going to do when that happens? We are talking civil unrest, civil disobedience, possibly, possibly civil war. ... I'm not talking just talking riots here and there. I'm talking Lexington, Concord, take up arms, get rid of the dictator. OK, what do you think he is going to do when that happens? He is going to call in the U.N. troops, personnel carriers, tanks and whatever."

Christine O’Donnell: “American scientific companies are cross-breeding humans and animals and coming up with mice with fully functioning human brains.”

Looks like the TP is about as intelligent as the Anarchists, and rooted in the same (un)reality.

On January 2, 1939, Time Magazine published its annual Man of
the Year issue. For the year 1938, Time had chosen Adolf Hitler as the man who
"for better or worse" (as Time founder Henry Luce expressed it) had most
influenced events of the preceding year.

The cover picture featured Hitler playing "his hymn of
hate in a desecrated cathedral while victims dangle on a St. Catherine's wheel
and the Nazi hierarchy looks on." This picture was drawn by Baron Rudolph
Charles von Ripper, a German Catholic who had fled Hitler's Germany.

The Man of the Year cover had been a Time tradition since
1927 when Charles Lindbergh became the first Man of the Year. Ironically,
Lindbergh was an admirer of Hitler and Nazi Germany; he became active in the
America First organization which opposed America entering World War II in the
fight against Adolf Hitler.

The article about the 1938 Man of the Year in the January
2, 1939 issue of Time is quoted below:

January 2, 1939

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adolf Hitler

Greatest single news event of 1938 took place on September
29, when four statesmen met at the Führerhaus, in Munich, to redraw the map of
Europe. The three visiting statesmen at that historic conference were Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain of Great Britain, Premier Edouard Daladier of
France, and Dictator Benito Mussolini of Italy. But by all odds the dominating
figure at Munich was the German host, Adolf Hitler.

Führer of the German people, Commander-in-Chief of the
German Army, Navy & Air Force, Chancellor of the Third Reich, Herr Hitler
reaped on that day at Munich the harvest of an audacious, defiant, ruthless
foreign policy he had pursued for five and a half years. He had torn the Treaty
of Versailles to shreds. He had rearmed Germany to the teeth--or as close to the
tooth as he was able. He had stolen Austria before the eyes of a horrified and
apparently impotent world.

All these events were shocking to nations which had
defeated Germany on the battlefield only 20 years before, but nothing so
terrified the world as the ruthless, methodical, Nazi-directed events which
during late summer and early autumn threatened a world war over Czechoslovakia.
When without loss of blood he reduced Czechoslovakia to a German puppet state,
forced a drastic revision of Europe's defensive alliances, and won a free hand
for himself in Eastern Europe by getting a "hands-off" promise from powerful
Britain (and later France), Adolf Hitler without doubt became 1938's Man of the
Year.

Most other world figures of 1938 faded in importance as
the year drew to a close. Prime Minister Chamberlain's "peace with honor" seemed
more than ever to have achieved neither. An increasing number of Britons
ridiculed his appease-the-dictators policy, believed that nothing save abject
surrender could satisfy the dictators' ambitions.

Among many Frenchmen there rose a feeling that Premier
Daladier, by a few strokes of the pen at Munich, had turned France into a
second-rate power. Aping Mussolini in his gestures and copying triumphant
Hitler's shouting complex, the once liberal Daladier at year's end was reduced
to using parliamentary tricks to keep his job.

During 1938 Dictator Mussolini was only a decidedly junior
partner in the firm of Hitler & Mussolini, Inc. His noisy agitation to get
Corsica and Tunis from France was rated as a weak bluff whose immediate
objectives were no more than cheaper tolls for Italian ships in the Suez Canal
and control of the Djibouti-Addis Ababa railroad.

Gone from the international scene was Eduard Benes, for 20
years Europe's "Smartest Little Statesman." Last President of free
Czechoslovakia, he was now a sick exile from the country he helped found. Pious
Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, Man of 1937, was forced to retreat to a
"New" West China, where he faced the possibility of becoming only a respectable
figurehead in an enveloping Communist movement. If Francisco Franco had won the
Spanish Civil War after his great spring drive, he might well have been
Man-of-the-Year timber. But victory still eluded the Generalissimo and war
weariness and disaffection on the Rightist side made his future
precarious.

On the American scene, 1938 was no one man's year.
Certainly it was not Franklin Roosevelt's; his Purge was beaten and his party
lost much of its bulge in the Congress. Secretary Hull will remember Good
Neighborly 1938 as the year he crowned his trade treaty efforts with the British
agreement, but history will not specially identify Mr. Hull with 1938. At year's
end in Lima, his plan of Continental Solidarity for the two Americas had a few
of its teeth pulled.

But the figure of Adolf Hitler strode over a cringing
Europe with all the swagger of a conqueror. Not the mere fact that the Führer
brought 10,500,000 more people (7,000,000 Austrians, 3,500,000 Sudetens) under
his absolute rule made him the Man of 1938. Japan during the same time added
tens of millions of Chinese to her empire. More significant was the fact Hitler
became in 1938 the greatest threatening force that the democratic,
freedom-loving world faces today.

His shadow fell far beyond Germany's frontier. Small,
neighboring States (Denmark, Norway, Czechoslovakia, Lithuania, The Balkans,
Luxembourg, The Netherlands) feared to offend him. In France Nazi pressure was
in part responsible for some of the post-Munich anti-democratic decrees. Fascism
had intervened openly in Spain, had fostered a revolt in Brazil, was covertly
aiding revolutionary movements in Rumania, Hungary, Poland, Lithuania. In
Finland a foreign minister had to resign under Nazi pressure. Throughout eastern
Europe after Munich the trend was toward less freedom, more dictatorship. In the
U.S. alone did democracy feel itself strong enough at year's end to give Hitler
his come-uppance.

The Fascintern, with Hitler in the driver's seat, with
Mussolini, Franco and the Japanese military cabal riding behind, emerged in 1938
as an international, revolutionary movement. Rant as he might against the
machinations of international Communism and international Jewry, or rave as he
would that he was just a Pan-German trying to get all the Germans back in one
nation, Führer Hitler had himself become the world's No. 1 International
Revolutionist--so much so that if the oft-predicted struggle between Fascism and
Communism now takes place it will be only because two revolutionist dictators,
Hitler and Stalin, are too big to let each other live in the same
world.

But Führer Hitler does not regard himself as a
revolutionary; he has become so only by force of circumstances. Fascism has
discovered that freedom--of press, speech, assembly--is a potential danger to
its own security. In Fascist phraseology democracy is often coupled with
Communism. The Fascist battle against freedom is often carried forward under the
false slogan of "Down with Communism!" One of the chief German complaints
against democratic Czechoslovakia last summer was that it was an "outpost of
Communism."

A generation ago western civilization had apparently
outgrown the major evils of barbarism except for war between nations. The
Russian Communist Revolution promoted the evil of class war. Hitler topped it by
another, race war. Fascism and Communism both resurrected religious war. These
multiple forms of barbarism gave shape in 1938 to an issue over which men may
again, perhaps soon, shed blood: the issue of civilized liberty v. barbaric
authoritarianism.

Lesser men of the year seemed small indeed beside the
Führer. Undoubted Crook of the Year was the late Frank Donald Coster (ne
Musica), with Richard Whitney, now in Sing Sing Prison, as runner-up. Sportsman
of the Year was Tennist Donald Budge, champion of the U.S., England, France,
Australia. Aviator of the Year was 33-year-old Howard Robard Hughes, diffident
millionaire, who flew a sober, precise, foolproof course 14,716 miles round the
top of the world in three days, 19 hours, eight minutes.

Radio's Man of the Year was youthful Orson Welles who, in
his famous The War of the Worlds broadcast, scared fewer people than Hitler, but
more than had ever been frightened by radio before, demonstrating that radio can
be a tremendous force in whipping up mass emotion. Playwright of the Year was
Thornton Wilder, previously a precious litterateur, whose first play on
Broadway, Our Town, was not only ingenious and moving, but a big hit. To Gabriel
Pascal, producer of Pygmalion, first full-length picture based on the wordy
dramas of George Bernard Shaw, went the title of Cineman of the Year for having
discovered a rich mine of dramatic material when other famed producers had given
up all hope of ever tapping it. Men of the Year, outstanding in comprehensive
science were three medical researchers who discovered that nicotinic acid was a
cure for human pellagra: Drs. Tom Douglas Spies of Cincinnati General Hospital,
Marion Arthur Blankenhorn of the University of Cincinnati, Clark Niel Cooper of
Waterloo, Iowa.

In religion, the two outstanding figures of 1938 were in
sharp contrast save for their opposition to Adolf Hitler. One of them, Pope Pius
XI, 81, spoke with "bitter sadness" of Italy's anti-Semitic laws, the harrying
of Italian Catholic Action groups, the reception Mussolini gave Hitler last May,
declared sadly: "We have offered our now old life for the peace and prosperity
of peoples. We offer it anew." By spending most of the year in a concentration
camp, Protestant Pastor Martin Niemöller gave courageous witness to his
faith.

It was noteworthy that few of these other men of the year
would have been free to achieve their accomplishments in Nazi Germany. The
genius of free wills has been so stifled by the oppression of dictatorship that
Germany's output of poetry, prose, music, philosophy,art has been meagre
indeed.

The man most responsible for this world tragedy is a
moody, brooding, unprepossessing, 49-year-old Austrian-born ascetic with a
Charlie Chaplin mustache. The son of an Austrian petty customs official, Adolf
Hitler was raised as a spoiled child by a doting mother. Consistently failing to
pass even the most elementary studies, he grew up a half-educated young man,
untrained for any trade or profession, seemingly doomed to failure. Brilliant,
charming, cosmopolitan Vienna he learned to loathe for what he called its
Semitism; more to his liking was homogeneous Munich, his real home after 1912.
To this man of no trade and few interests the Great War was a welcome event
which gave him some purpose in life. Hitler took part in 48 engagements, won the
German Iron Cross (first class), was wounded once and gassed once, was in a
hospital when the Armistice of November 11, 1918 was declared.

His political career began in 1919 when he became Member
No. 7 of the midget German Labor Party. Discovering his powers of oratory,
Hitler soon became the party's leader, changed its name to the National
Socialist German Labor Party, wrote its anti- Semitic, anti-democratic,
authoritarian program. The party's first mass meeting took place in Munich in
February 1920. The leader intended to participate in a monarchist attempt to
seize power a month later; but for this abortive Putsch Führer Hitler arrived
too late. An even less successful National Socialist attempt--the famed Munich
Beer Hall Putsch of 1923--provided the party with dead martyrs, landed Herr
Hitler in jail. His incarceration at Landsberg Fortress gave him time to write
the first volume of Mein Kampf, now a "must" on every German bookshelf. (Deputy
Führer Rudolf Hess helped write it. Imprisonment also gave Hitler time to
perfect his tactics. Even before that time he got from his Communist opponents
the idea of gangster-like party storm troopers; after this the principle of the
small cell groups of devoted party workers.)

Outlawed in many German districts, the National Socialist
Party nevertheless climbed steadily in membership. Time-honored Tammany Hall
methods of handing out many small favors were combined with rowdy terrorism and
lurid, patriotic propaganda. The picture of a mystic, abstemious, charismatic
Führer was assiduously cultivated.

Not until 1929 did National Socialism win its first
absolute majority in a city election (at Coburg) and make its first significant
showing in a provincial election (in Thuringia). But from 1928 on, the party
almost continually gained in electoral strength. In the Reichstag elections of
1928 it polled 809,000 votes. Two years later 6,401,016 Germans voted for
National Socialist deputies while in 1932 the vote was 13,732,779. While still
short of a majority, the vote was nevertheless impressive proof of the power of
the man and his movement.

The situation which gave rise to this demagogic, ignorant,
desperate movement was inherent in the German Republic's birth and in the
craving of large sections of the politically immature German people for strong,
masterful leadership. Democracy in Germany was conceived in the womb of military
defeat. It was the Republic which put its signature (unwillingly) to the
humiliating Versailles Treaty, a brand of shame which it never lived down in
German minds.

That the German people love uniforms, parades, military
formations, and submit easily to authority is no secret. Führer Hitler's own
hero is Frederick the Great. That admiration stems undoubtedly from Frederick's
military prowess and autocratic rule rather than from Frederick's love of French
culture and his hatred of Prussian boorishness. But unlike the polished
Frederick, Führer Hitler, whose reading has always been very limited, invites
few great minds to visit him, nor would Führer Hitler agree with Frederick's
contention that he was "tired of ruling over slaves." (Bismarck, the Iron
Chancellor, also complained of the submissiveness of German
character.)

In bad straits even in fair weather, the German Republic
collapsed under the weight of the 1929-34 depression in which German
unemployment soared to 7,000,000 above a nationwide wind drift of bankruptcies
and failures. Called to power as Chancellor of the Third Reich on January 30,
1933 by aged, senile President Paul von Hindenburg, Chancellor Hitler began to
turn the Reich inside out. Unemployment was solved by: 1) a far-reaching program
of public works; 2) an intense re-armament program, including a huge standing
army; 3) enforced labor in the service of the State (the German Labor Corps); 4)
putting political enemies and Jewish, Communist and Socialist jobholders in
concentration camps.

What Adolf Hitler & Co. did to Germany in less than
six years was applauded wildly and ecstatically by most Germans. He lifted the
nation from post-War defeatism. Under the swastika Germany was unified. His was
no ordinary dictatorship, but rather one of great energy and magnificent
planning. The "socialist" part of National Socialism might be scoffed at by
hard-&-fast Marxists, but the Nazi movement nevertheless had a mass basis.
The 1,500 miles of magnificent highways built, schemes for cheap cars and simple
workers' benefits, grandiose plans for rebuilding German cities made Germans
burst with pride. Germans might eat many substitute foods or wear ersatz clothes
but they did eat.

What Adolf Hitler & Co. did to the German people in
that time left civilized men and women aghast. Civil rights and liberties have
disappeared. Opposition to the Nazi regime has become tantamount to suicide or
worse. Free speech and free assembly are anachronisms. The reputations of the
once-vaunted German centres of learning have vanished. Education has been
reduced to a National Socialist catechism.

Pace Quickened. Germany's 700,000 Jews have been tortured
physically, robbed of homes and properties, denied a chance to earn a living,
chased off the streets. Now they are being held for "ransom," a gangster trick
through the ages. But not only Jews have suffered. Out of Germany has come a
steady, ever- swelling stream of refugees, Jews and Gentiles, liberals and
conservatives, Catholics as well as Protestants, who could stand Naziism no
longer. TIME's cover, showing Organist Adolf Hitler playing his hymn of hate in
a desecrated cathedral while victims dangle on a St. Catherine's wheel and the
Nazi hierarchy looks on, was drawn by Baron Rudolph Charles von Ripper, a
Catholic who found Germany intolerable.

Meanwhile, Germany has become a nation of uniforms, goose-
stepping to Hitler's tune, where boys of ten are taught to throw hand grenades,
where women are regarded as breeding machines. Most cruel joke of all, however,
has been played by Hitler & Co. on those German capitalists and small
businessmen who once backed National Socialism as a means of saving Germany's
bourgeois economic structure from radicalism. The Nazi credo that the individual
belongs to the state also applies to business. Some businesses have been
confiscated outright, on other what amounts to a capital tax has been levied.
Profits have been strictly controlled. Some idea of the increasing Governmental
control and interference in business could be deduced from the fact that 80% of
all building and 50% of all industrial orders in Germany originated last year
with the Government. Hard-pressed for food- stuffs as well as funds, the Nazi
regime has taken over large estates and in many instances collectivized
agriculture, a procedure fundamentally similar to Russian Communism.

When Germany took over Austria she took upon herself the
care and feeding of 7,000,000 poor relations. When 3,500,000 Sudetens were
absorbed, there were that many more mouths to feed. As 1938 drew to a close many
were the signs that the Nazi economy of exchange control, barter trade, lowered
standard of living, "self-sufficiency," was cracking. Nor were signs lacking
that many Germans disliked the cruelties of their Government, but were afraid to
protest them. Having a hard time to provide enough bread to go round, Führer
Hitler was being driven to give the German people another diverting circus. The
Nazi controlled press, jumping the rope at the count of Propaganda Minister Paul
Joseph Goebbels, shrieked insults at real and imagined enemies. And the pace of
the German dictatorship quickened as more & more guns rolled from factories
and little more butter was produced.

In five years under the Man of 1938, regimented Germany
had made itself one of the great military powers of the world today. The British
Navy remains supreme on the seas. Most military men regard the French Army as
incomparable. Biggest question mark is air strength, which changes from day to
day, but most observers believe Germany superior in warplanes. Despite a
shortage of trained officers and a lack of materials, the German Army has become
a formidable machine which could probably be beaten only by a combination of
opposing armies. As testimony to his nation's puissance, Führer Hitler could
look back over the year and remember that besides receiving countless large-bore
statesmen (Mr. Chamberlain three times, for instance), he paid his personal
respects to three kings (Sweden's Gustaf, Denmark's Christian, Italy's Vittorio
Emanuele) and was visited by two (Bulgaria's Boris, Rumania's Carol--not
counting Hungary's Regent, Horthy).

Meanwhile an estimated 1,133 streets and squares, notably
Rathaus Platz in Vienna, acquired the name of Adolf Hitler. He delivered 96
public speeches, attended eleven opera performances (way below par), vanquished
two rivals (Benes and Kurt von Schuschnigg, Austria's last Chancellor), sold
900,000 new copies of Mein Kampf in Germany besides selling it widely in Italy
and Insurgent Spain. His only loss was in eyesight: he had to begin wearing
spectacles for work. Last week Herr Hitler entertained at a Christmas party
7,000 workmen now building Berlin's new mammoth Chancellery, told them: "The
next decade will show those countries with their patent democracy where true
culture is to be found."

But other nations have emphatically joined the armaments
race and among military men the poser is: "Will Hitler fight when it becomes
definitely certain that he is losing that race?" The dynamics of dictatorship
are such that few who have studied Fascism and its leaders can envision sexless,
restless, instinctive Adolf Hitler rounding out a mellow middle age in his
mountain chalet at Berchtesgaden while a satisfied German people drink beer and
sing folk songs. There is no guarantee that the have-not nations will go to
sleep when they have taken what they now want from the haves. To those who
watched the closing events of the year it seemed more than probable that the Man
of 1938 may make 1939 a year to be remembered.
