Christian Evangelism isn't a Political Party

Well, for starters, that would be liberals, not Hitler.

National SOCIALISM is not liberal?

Read up on liberalism in the 30's sometime. Liberals found a lot to like in Nazism and fascism, even if the racial rhetoric sometimes made them uncomfortable. Il Duce was a communist in his younger days, and while he broke with them, it wasn't due to a massive ideological shift.

I think this kind of relativism is a product of the leftist frame we live in. Liberals claim solidarity with the racist, sexist homophobes who actually beat Hitler because they were "the liberals of their time" or something while the people with views even close to those of that generation are themselves labeled nazis. While I'm familiar with the way ideologies have evolved over the past century, it's completely meaningless to call the Nazis "liberal" when they are not liberal in any sense of the word.

And the racial rhetoric is a key component of both fascism/national socialism and progressivism. Love and loyalty to your people is mandatory for the former and anathema to the latter (if you're white). I can't act like two ideologies with diametrically opposed values are now interchangeable just because they are both authoritarian.

When people tire of politics, they often crave for a strongman to cut the Gordian knot of their present circumstances--that this has ended catastrophically for so often has not prevented people from falling back in this error repeatedly and hoping for a secular savior.

The famous quote by George Santayana springs to mind here

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Unfortunately, for those of us who do study history and remember the past, we're condemned to watching it repeat because we're a small minority.

at least later at night when all they show is repeats on the history channel.

Liberalism is a repudiation of nature that appeals to simpletons.
Every once and awhile we have to have a great purge or it would wipe out humanity entirely.

National SOCIALISM is not liberal?

Hitler's faction slaughtered the socialist faction in his party in something called "the night of the long knives".

The good part about your bipolar disorder is that once in a while we get Mad Gerbil back.

Liberalism embodies the altruistic values of the tribal unit.

Every once and awhile we have to have a great purge or it would wipe out humanity entirely.

i.e. those who not a part of your tribal unit...like Moses exterminating the Midianites, or Hitler exterminating non-Aryans.

No I wasn't but since you mention it. If the fetus is not a person why is is a difficult decision? If I have a tumor removed, I wouldn't call that a difficult decision. Are you admitting that the fetus is a person after all and that is why it is a difficult decision?

It is a human being. The woman's very own offspring.

Again, why do they feel guilty if it is not a person?

See above.

Liberals think the tribal unit is racist and needs to be enriched with exploding third worlders.
