Thursday, July 18, 2002 Never Again? "Fraid Not. After WW II, everyone said - never again! No more Holocausts! But they all somehow assumed that the next holocaust would look exactly the same as the last one. (Some did like Pol Pot, but still nobody stopped it until the Vietnamese stepped in.) So when we say the current Slaughter of the Innocents is exactly a Holocaust of evil, we are accused of exaggeration and hyperbole. Why? Because, like Hitler's willing executioners, this holocaust is voluntary and individualistic rather than State run. As if that makes it all right. And, of course, because this time so many Jews lobbied for the legalization and promotion of abortion as the good, compassionate liberals they take themselves to be. And Jews, given their history, could never act like Nazis, could they? Nor could all of those people who felt stricken about the Jews and WW II. It could never be possible that liberals might be confused and also act like Nazis and eugenicists. posted by Mark Butterworth | 7:37 AM | |
