WORLD WAR II CONSERVATISM
|
|
In The wake of September 11, conservatives are wildly
praising World War II.
I get desperately tired of hearing conservatives
bless and praise WW2. A lot of good people died
in that war.
For conservatives, the fact that a lot of good
people died in it makes WW2 The Good War. But to
me, the very fact that so many good Americans died
in a war that ended up being nothing but a victory
for the political left makes it worse, not better.
There are lessons to be learned from World War
II. The main one is that conservatives should not
let their lust for uniforms and flag-waving blind
them to what the struggle is all about.

OUR BELOVED ALLY JOSEPH STALIN
|
|
Charles Lindbergh was America's premier hero after
he became the first man to fly across the Atlantic
Ocean in 1927. But he became America's premier villain
because of his friendliness to Hitler before World
War II.
As a matter of fact, Lindbergh was far less friendly
to Hitler than every liberal was to Stalin, but
modern conservatives agreed to make him a special
villain.
In the late 1930's, Lindbergh wrote the article
for which he was infamous for the rest of his life.
He wanted all the Western powers to unite and destroy
Joseph Stalin's Communist regime in Russia. He even
wanted Hitler's Luftwaffe to be part of the coalition
to destroy Stalin!
Joseph Stalin, the leader of the Peace-Loving Democratic
Republics! Stalin, our Great Ally and the Hero whose
ideology later took Eastern Europe from Hitler and
China from Chang-Kai Chek and Vietnam from France!
Joseph Stalin, Champion of Democracy!
From the time he wrote that article, Lindbergh
became the man the left was out to get.
After World War II, every respectable conservative
agreed with liberals that that article was the height
of outright treason. The idea of allying with Hitler
to destroy Stalin was Pure Evil.
This is because the only true American patriotism
was uniting with Stalin to get rid of Hitler. Liberals
wanted to get rid of the extreme right and praise
the extreme left.
And if that's what liberals insisted on, that's
what today's conservatives want.

THE
RESPECTABLE CONSERVATIVES' FAVORITE WAR
|
|
It is hard to say which war is most the popular with today's
conservatives. They keep bragging on the Civil War, in
which more Americans were killed than any other. Conservatives
try to get liberals to like them by bragging about their
love for Lincoln.
But the favorite conservative conflict is still The Big
One, The Last Good War, WW2. For today's conservatives
it was perfect.
First of all, during World War II practically everybody
was in uniform, which is the dream society for today's
right.
On its first cover after September 11, National Review
showed a scene from World War II. It showed thousands
of Americans parachuting, many to their deaths. Happy
days were here again!
What thrills conservatives most about WW2 is the fact
that the left was all for it. Especially after Hitler
attacked the Peace-Loving Democratic Republic of Joseph
Stalin in 1941, liberals united in favor of American entry
into the fight.
So from 1941 America was waving flags, keeping its young
men in uniforms, and liberals were all for it. It was
a total war, the kind conservatives live for, and nobody
protested against it and liberals told conservatives how
smart they were for being such wonderful patriots. For
that short period, liberals praised patriotism and conservatives
were in Paradise.
After World War II, when America was fighting the Democratic
Peace-Loving Peoples' Republics, i.e., Communists, the
left has been for Peace, Non-Violence and Brotherhood.
The conservative obsession for getting guys in uniforms
no longer drew leftist praise.
No wonder World War II is still remembered as the conservatives'
Dream Time.

IF
MODERN CONSERVATIVES AND LIBERALS LOVE IT, SOMETHING MUST
BE WRONG WITH IT
|
|
So after we destroyed Germany and Japan in the name of
Freedom, how did Freedom come out of World War II?
Before World War II Germany, Japan, Italy and -- my apologies
to leftists for saying it -- the Soviet Union, were absolute
tyrannies. But the first three constituted the Anti-Cominterm
Axis. Three of the world's absolute ideological tyrannies
were enemies of the fourth.
As a result of World War II, a third of the world ended
up under the absolute tyranny of Communism, a third of
the world was free, and a third was neutral and stagnating
under third-world socialism.
And, unlike the situation before World War II, the tyrannies
were all on one side.
This is the result that conservatives brag on when they
glory over World War II.
Why do conservatives glory in this? Because liberals
glory in this result, and in order to be respectable,
conservatives have to approve of history that liberals
like.
World War II not only saved Stalin, it made him an American
Hero. Liberals and conservatives now agree that the war
was not fought for Freedom, but against Racism and Rightism.
Before America's entry into WW2, conservatives opposed
America's entry into it, and Roosevelt told Churchill
that, if they found out what he had done to get the United
States into the war, he would have gone to jail. But now
Roosevelt is a conservative hero for wanting Americans
to fight against the Axis -- and FOR the world's left.

A
PATRIOT LOOKS AT WORLD WAR II
|
|
Patriotic Americans before Pearl Harbor took one of two
positions on the war. What they wanted most was for the
United States to stay out of it, especially after Churchill
allied himself with Stalin so enthusiastically.
Another possibility some conservatives considered was
joining a REAL fight for freedom. That would have been
a war against Hitler, but it would also have been an alliance
against the Peace Loving Democratic Peoples' Republics
under America's Hero, Joseph Stalin.
My father wanted to stop aid to Britain and Russia. If
we didn't stop aid, he wanted to use it against both our
enemies.
My father said we should aid Stalin until his forces
entered Germany and then aid Hitler until his forces came
within easy range of Moscow, and then to back Stalin and
so on until both were exhausted. Chris Matthews or a modern
conservative would call that idea treason.
It was called treason after the United States got into
the war. My father was told that if he didn't shut up,
they would close his plant down. He told them, "You can
shut me down but you can't shut me up."
Back then America was still a free country
