it's not much, but it ain't much.
lest anyone should misunderstand me
I don’t quote Hitler to praise the man or the legacy. And I don’t cite one of his references in speeches to Christianity to accuse the billion or so Christians around the world of collusion. I raise the spectre because I think when someone is running for public office and starts pointing an accusing finger at people and culture and labels them “unchristian” and therefore dangerous to “our way of life”, it’s time to worry. And that, to simply take them at their word, at face value, is irresponsible and dangerous. It’s a formula that seems to have traction on the Right in this election season. And it’s freaking me the fuck out. And I hope, in the name of all that’s good in the hearts of people, that it freaks the fuck out of more people - and quickly. It should. It really really should.
“ Today Christians … stand at the head of [this country]… I pledge that I never will tie myself to parties who want to destroy Christianity .. We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit … We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theater, and in the press - in short, we want to burn out the poison of immorality which has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of liberal excess during the past … (few) years.
Adolf Hitler, quoted in: The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, 1922-1939, Vol. 1 (London, Oxford University Press, 1942), pg. 871-872

Jose Gonzalez is one of my favorites. Warmed up for him in Junip with Ferraby Lionheart last year at the Eagle Rock center for the arts. It was a really special night.
…With apologies for the abrasive bumper up front.
