The Third Reich and Demagoguery
Herbert Kuhner
Andrew Shirvell, Assistant Attorney General of Michigan, is the webmaster of a blog titled “Chris Armstrong Watch.” College student Chris Armstrong is the openly gay president of the student governmental body at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
On Shirvell’s blog there is a photo of Armstrong with a rainbow banner and a swastika superimposed on it.
Aside from the incendiary aspect, Shirvell’s comparison is completely erroneous.
Ernst Röhm was the head of the SA until the summer of 1934 in Nazi Germany. On July 1st of that year Adolf Hitler had Röhm and his entourage executed. Röhm and his officers were active homosexuals.
After The Röhm-Putsch, homosexuality was forbidden in Nazi Germany and homosexuals were deported to concentration camps.
Here is a statement by Bishop Andreas Laun of Salzburg, Austria: „Hitler would have been delighted with legalized abortion. May I venture to say that Hitler was not all wrong? For thirty years Austrian children have fallen victim to legalized abortion.”

Abortion was a capital crime in Nazi Germany.
Those who use Hitler, Nazi Germany, and swastikas for demagogic purposes should first brush up on their history - and then get lost!
Sharron Squeezes and Breaks
Sharron Angle, Tea-Party Republican candidate for the Nevada Senate, wants to outlaw abortion universally, even in cases of rape and incest. She insists that a young girl raped by her father should know that “two wrongs don’t make a right. Much good can come from a horrific situation like that,” Angle added. “Lemons can be made into lemonade.”
Yes Sharron, you need lemons for lemonade. And while you’re squeezing them, don’t forget, “If you want to make an omelette, you have to break a few eggs.”
And while Sharron is squeezing and breaking, here’s Bishop Andreas Laun of Salzburg, Austria: If a child is raped and becomes pregnant, the child should have the child. “I would inform the child of the wonder of the new life in her body - that it is partially her child which will long for the love of a mother and that that it would grow up like a brother or a sister. I also say to her: This will enable you to heal wound that you have acquired …”
