When I look back a couple of decades, I realize I worked with some nazis.
I was in banking and there were some extremists where I worked. Hell, they ran the place. Comments like, "Hitler wasn't all bad," came up occasionally, and ethnic and religious slurs abounded to avoid taking personal responsibility for making poor lending decisions. They believed they were righteous Christians and wanted everyone else to be also. They were simply lying in wait. I had to leave that job -- I couldn't bear their company, and I was apolitical then.

I just hope Mike Malloy doesn't accidentally say something that allows the american nazis to come down on him and shut him up.

1. Sorry to hear that.
The Naugatuck River Valley in central CT still has alot of anti-semitism. White trash is what those valleyvolken are.

3. I think there are big enough pockets of it everywhere, and it isn't
all tied into anti-semitism. Some are Christian zionists. These are people who are afraind of anyone different, have low tolerance for change, differences, even bad luck, which means many that impoverished are undeserving in their eyes (that is also part of that religious belief (Jabez) that if you are good enough, God is going to make you rich or at least comfortable.

I think these nazis have been laying the foundation for their ultimate takeover for several decades.
