History & propaganda
Funny people like Podhoretz should only use "historical lessons" when they suit his view.
My history lessons taught me that invading Iraq and Afghanistan was destined to be a huge mistake. You just had to look at how well other countries did there before the US.
Typical propaganda talk. So very tiresome.

wikipedia aint da source
i came to know this neighbor (still alive in her 80's) who came to the usa in the 1960s and established a private school near here. Conversations with her i found to be interesting. As a girl in rastenburg prussia (near mister hitler's famous lair retreat) she recalled her runs with the other cheering children as der furor passed close in his benz-mobile. As a teen she attended both indoor & outdoor rallies which mister hitler, mister himmler & others of note spoke. (2 of her brothers , by the way disapeared in the russian winter). Anyway, a common cheer she recalled went like this; "Wir sind Fortschrittlich ! Wir sind ein Volk" --- which she translated as --- we are the Progressives We are the People --- and something more re: We are the future --- the part relating to Progress caught my attention only in that seemed to echo the modern day cant of Liberals who are too wimpishly humiliated to use the term any more. "hey lets try 'progressive' -- sounds like a forward looking way of --- looking at society !!
such was the intention of the nazi monsters whom my uncles & father helped to blitz to kingdom come.
the frau i spoke of earlier worked in a nazi germany in which socialized medicine was supplied by the National Socialist Party.
hope this clears up your ongoing confusion about the Progessive future as seen by the Nazis as well as .... other Progressives

Little Old Lithuanian Ladies...
Or LOL for short.

Hitler's "lair" was at Berchtesgaden in the Bavaria Alps. Rastenburg was his military HQ in East Prussia. That's the other side of Europe, not even in Germany today. Yes, dumbass. The definitive source for all things Nazi is some little old lady who received no information other than propaganda - kind of like you - and swore she had no idea what happened to the Jews. That smell and ash had to be something else. You are risible little twit. Go to bed. Happy Apnea.

Once and for all
Stop this babbling about progressive and Hitler. I have heard of many slogans of the third reich, but never of: "Wir sind fortschrittlich, wir sind ein Volk."
Hitler was a product of the german and austrian right. He admired to politicians, Karl Lueger and Georg von Schönerer, both rabid right-wingers.
Like a typical right-winger today Hitler was a declared anti-marxist, anti-liberal, anti-parlamentarian who wanted to turn the clock back to pre french revolution times.
If you look at voter migration, the NSDAP took its votes from right-wing and center-right parties, froem DNVP to DVP. The allies of the NSDAP were likewise right-wing partys and organisations like DNVP and Stahlhelm.
Furthermore, progressive was never used in Germans as a label for an distinctive movement liuek in the U.S. The major left-liberal pre-war party used it as label, but switched after 1918 to Deutsche Demokratische Partei. The word progressive was rarely used after 1918 in a political context. Left-Liberal in the german political context means center-left, like right- or national-liberal means center-right.
So cut it, yes? The german left and center had no connection to the NSDAP at all. And "socialed" medicine as well as social security was introduced to Germany by Bismarck. Do you really want to call Bismarck a lefty?

Churchill and Gallipoli
I love these Churchill comparisons. After the disaster at Gallipoli Churchill resigned his position as First Lord of the Admiralty and enlisted, serving as an officer at the front in France. When one of these asshats who got us into Iraq do the same I might start listening to them about the necessity of the next war.
