- Does the agenda’s of the “National Socialists” remind me of anyone. Yes GBA, but I doubt my answer would make you very happy. The irony of course is, that AH was probably the most extreme Socialist of all time. That well could be why the Left spends so much time yammering and projecting his ideas onto their hated rivals, and trying so hard to distance themselves from that rabid lunitic. Yet so much of what the “Progressives” have to say these days aligns very closely with the words he used when he started. Strange to say the least, and very telling.

Why is anyone surprised?
HAMAS is the only political party left for the Palestinians. The Israelis have been assinating any and all political disenters to their policies for years. HAMAS is just good at hiding and resurecting itself. What will be interesting is if the can transform from a militant political group to a functioning government. They have been running charities, hosptitals and orphanges for decades. But can they handle governing by a rule of law? Or will they take power only to fail in this endeavor. If their first order of business is the strict establishment of rule of law and enforcing that law with vigor. We in our lifetime may see peace between these two crazy countries.

The Nazi v. Hamas depiction is interesting but it’s important to remember that many Americans including, Henry Ford, Prescott Bush and Charles Lindberg were taken by the charm of the Nazi’s and did much to finance and further the Nazi cause. The Nazi’s said that they were about family values, conservative politics and protecting Christianity.
Do these words remind you of anyone?

This may not be as bad as most people are thinking. Fatah did nothing worthwile for peace, and Hamas would be hard-pressed to make things any worse over there.

We have to remember that Fatah is just as pro-terrorist as Hamas. The only difference is that Fatah denies it.

Hamas Win Unsettles Peace Process

It will be interesting to see what sort of a government they form. Ideally it would be a government that offers services but is willing to negotiate with the Israelis. But I am not holding my breath.
