1. One cannot fight the liberal by positive means. He is a negative, and this negative must be erased from the American system, or he will forever corrupt it.
2. One cannot discuss the liberal question with the liberals. One can hardly prove to a person that one has the duty to render him harmless.
3. One cannot allow the liberal the same means one would give an honest opponent, for he is no honorable opponent. He will use generosity and nobility only to trap his enemy.
4. The liberal has nothing to say about American questions. He is a foreigner, an alien, who only enjoys the rights of a guest, rights that he always abuses.
5. The so-called religious morality of the liberals is no morality at all, rather an encouragement to betrayal. Therefore, they have no claim to protection from the state.
6. The liberal is not smarter than we are, rather only cleverer and craftier. His system cannot be defeated economically — he follows entirely different moral principles than we do. It can only be broken through political means.
7. A liberal cannot insult an American. Liberal slanders are but badges of honor for an American opponent of the liberals.
8. The more an American person or an American movement opposes the liberal, the more valuable it is. If someone is attacked by the liberals, that is a sure sign of his virtue. He who is not persecuted by the liberals, or who is praised by them, is useless and dangerous.
9. The liberal evaluates American questions from the liberal standpoint. As a result, the opposite of what he says must be true.
10. One must either affirm or reject anti-liberalism. He who defends the liberals harms his own people. One can only be a liberal lackey or a liberal opponent. Opposing the liberals is a matter of personal hygiene.
These principles give the anti- liberal movement a chance of success. Only such a movement will be taken seriously by the liberals, only such a movement will be feared by them.
The fact that he shouts and complains about such a movement therefore is only a sign that it is right. We are therefore delighted that we are constantly attacked in the liberal gazettes. They may shout about terror. We answer with Mussolini's familiar words: "Terror? Never! It is social hygiene. We take these individuals out of circulation just as a doctor does to a bacterium.
The following is how the quote was originally written along with its author.
1. One cannot fight the Jew by positive means. He is a negative, and this negative must be erased from the German system, or he will forever corrupt it.

Joseph Goebbels; 22 April 1929
Instead of liberal you could use Democrat, or faiths like Muslim (or substitute any religious discipline that’s not radical Evangelical-Fundamentalist).
It wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to use words like Environmentalist (or substitute any political cause that’s not right- wing conservative).
This current group of ‘conservatives’ and their media lackeys sound remarkably similar to fascist of old.
If it walks like a duck and sounds like a duck.........
Whenever listening to right-wingers just mentally replace the word liberal or whoever the conservative pundits and talk show hosts are beating up on and substitute that name with Jew and see how they sound.
Liberals and those who are viewed to be like-minded are to current neoconservative propaganda what the Jews were to the Nazis.
.
Totalitarians all hate liberals, their love for free speech, public assembly, and openness are always an impediment to their selfish desires. Some totalitarians are Nazis, some are communists, some are from whatever dominate local ideology, and some are Neocons with grand desires on the US and their PNAC desires for the world. (To be the envy of Rome) The citizens (moms and dads, sisters and brothers, neighbors and townsfolk) are always the worst for it because no matter what, the powerful old manipulators of men residing in comfortable rooms decide, they are always screwed.

Of course it hurts you’re being screwed by an elephant
not original--but everyone should swipe it; don't ya think
