Game: Who Spake thus? Bush or Hitler?

Ok, who said this: "Our world is full of many tragedies but the biggest tragedy is the one that is bred from ignorance."

My Quotes

I think the first three is from Hitler and #4 is from Bush but I could be wrong, have been wrong once or twice before. OK, maybe a few times.

I love these things. I have a bunch I have been collecting, too. They are completely interchangeable.

Here's a great one:

"If anyone reproaches me and asks why I did not resort to the regular courts of justice, then all I can say is this: In this hour I was responsible for the fate of the [American/German] people and thereby I became the supreme judge of the [German/American] people."

Hitler as translated by Bush

Thanks for playing Ricky. I'm still waiting on more responses to release the answers though. Hang tight.

Olga, that's a great quote. I'll say that it was Hitler who said it to his financier, Prescott Bush, who then told his grandson lil' Georgie W.

#3 Bush, thee others might be Hitler... I do not ever recall Hitler talking about Christianity though........

I want to see some valid facts to make surely these statements are factual in context also...especially #2.. Because it sounds like your blowing a little smoke on 2.

1,3, 4 Bush, I changed.. I absolutely know without a shadow of a doubt, no one can be quoted as saying 2

Jason, the speaker of #2 is also oft quoted for saying variations of the same idea. I'm trying not to give too big of hints here as this post has just been authorized for another group to view.

I will post the answers today by 5 o'clock PST.

And the answers aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare.............:

They were all Hitler!

George W. Bush is so lacking in eloquence that had I included any statement of his that I came across that it would be completely obvious who said what by sheer comparison. It's fair to translate Hitler to English, but not to translate Bush.

Quotes in their entirties:

"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice...

-Adolf Hitler, in a speech on 12 April 1922 (Norman H. Baynes, ed. The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922-August 1939, Vol. 1 of 2, pp. 19-20, Oxford University Press, 1942)

2. If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.

Upon doing more research this quote may be more attributable to Goebbels than Hitler but this is what historians attribute as origination of "the Big Lie" concept, but like I said Hitler is quoted many times over the same concept. Neo-Nazis like to argue that the context of which was used to describe the propaganda of "Jewish communists." Isn't it nice to be albe to lump your scapegoats into one term? Fits nicely on a bumper sticker don't it?

3. The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and co-operation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life....

(I suppose the "..." is a dramatic pause.)

Proclamation to the German Nation Feb 1, 1933

4. An evil exists that threatens every man, woman, and child of this great nation. We must take steps to ensure our domestic security and protect our homeland.</>

This is an excerpt of the speech where Hitler introduces the formation of the Dept. of Homel... I mean the Gestapo.

Thanks for playing!

Of course, whoever brought my ratings on all of my articles from 10 to 7 wouldn't dare comment for my own personal edification. Not that I care about ratings, but thee I call a coward.
