National-Socialism Not for Export?

http://www.thebeerbarrel.net/showthread.php?7641-National-Socialism-Not-for-Export

Occasionally some sophomore, somebody hostile to national-socialist ideology, usually somebody wedded to liberal notions (by which I mean a so-called conservative), will argue that national-socialist ideas have no application outside of Germany, adducing as evidence some statement attributed to Adolf Hitler: "National-Socialism is not for export." Ipse dixit!

Isn't it interesting how these people who are basically hostile to our worldview, suddenly, when it suits them, treat Adolf Hitler as a man whose every casual word must be taken as an inviolable commandment? The assumption seems to be that there is no general idea, no substance in national-socialism, except to copy Adolf Hitler on every point.

The Oakland-based nonprofit has raised more than $100 million over the past seven years, according to tax returns. It owns 66 radio stations across the globe and was worth more than $72 million in 2009.

As The End nears, donations have spiked, a board member says, enabling Family Radio to spend millions of dollars on more than 5,000 billboards.

But it is not about money, say President Harold Camping and board member Tom Evans. It's about spreading the Gospel and saving as many people as possible.

What will the nonprofit do with the millions of dollars left in the bank Saturday?

"When Judgment Day comes, if someone is a billionaire, how will they take their money with them?" said Camping, 89, during a phone interview Tuesday. "If we have any money left, and we will because we have to pay bills up to the very end ... it will all be destroyed because the world will be in a day of judgment.

"The money is not important at all. It's a vehicle to spread the judgment and a vehicle of the Lord."

No one at the ministry's troop unit was immediately available to comment on his allegations.
"It's embarrassing to say but soldiers here were fed dog food. It was fed to them as stew," Matveyev said in an interview with Reuters, adding that dog food labels were covered up with labels reading 'premium quality beef'.
He said he would contest a dismissal order issued by a superior after he posted the nearly 10-minute video, in which he asked President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to intervene.

"We're not trying to make a church like the one your parents went to. We're trying to make a church for our generation," said Jung, a self-proclaimed hipster.
Jung was ordained a minister 10 years ago. The former lead pastor at the United Generations Church in Brooklyn said Flushing is fertile ground for gathering a new flock.
"We wanted to go to a place where there was the most amount of need," Jung said, pointing to a large number of homeless and nonbelievers in the area.
Jung had his first monthly meeting at the Sheraton LaGuardia East Hotel in Flushing earlier this month. He has recruited 32 followers so far, he said, and his goal is to get 100 by September, when the church is scheduled to open.

"It was not the first time - he has had arguments in other outlet stores, according to my friends. But they are Indians and with me he increased the argument."
The court was told Mr Graham had got into an argument with Mr Habib about the Taliban. When Mr Habib insisted that muslims were peace-loving, Mr Graham allegedly said: "All Muslims are mad and your Prophet Mohammad was a bad man. Your Prophet Mohammad was a terrorist." Mr Graham, who had to be told to change after arriving at court wearing shorts, said: "I spoke with him about the problems between the Pakistani government and the Taliban.
"From what he said I understood that the salesman was a supporter of the Taliban. I told him he was crazy because they were terrorists and they kill people and bomb each other. I didn't say anything bad about Muslims or the Prophet." Mr Graham was remanded on bail until the next hearing on June 9, when a verdict will be handed down. He is believed to work in Qatar but to be staying near the Mall of the Emirates, as Mr Habib said he had seen him jogging nearby in the days before the incident.
