There are rare times when this “Trib” reader long used with equanimity to reading right-wing viewpoints and polemics becomes disgusted.
This happened to me, when in the May 17 edition I read Stephen P. Halbrook’s “One cannot argue with history,” in which he claims that in 1938 Nazi Germany passed a gun control law that forbid Jews to have guns. |

So, he admits that Hitler denied arms to Jews in 1938, but calls Halbrook a liar because Halbrook thinks Hitler had a reason for doing so, and instead the author claims that Hitler gained nothing from disarming the Jews?
He is partly right. Armed self defense requires arms, knowledge in their use, and the will to use them.
I believe that some, not all German Jews, would have found that will when the doors to their homes were broken down. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
