Our time is very similar to the 1930’s. National Socialism will not come to America from the Right but from the Left as it did in Germany.

The party of love turning into the party of hate reminds me of what Carl Jung called enantiodromia (which he credits to Heraclitus) which is the idea that all things revert to their opposite. In Jungian psychology the tension of the opposites in the psyche can build up an imbalance sufficient to cause a sudden shift to the opposite pole.
The psyche of modern man alternates between megalomania and inferiority. In his megalomania he loves his self image as all loving and represses consciousness of his hate which is his evil shadow. All challenges to his self image activate his hate. The more he succeeds in the world with his love the more reality will challenge his action and effects in the world which strengthens his hate. The enantiodromic switch to the opposite, to hate, is inevitable.

The Social Democrats in Germany in the 1930’s switched from love to hate and became the Nazis. Why will it be any difference for current party of love in America? The enantiodromic switch to the opposite, to hate, is again inevitable.

I just received and read this article ..quite late ..from its original print though. I wonder now what you think? It seems the blind media want to worship Obama as do many naive Americans. I’m giving him some time to see what he can do, but I hope that within that time he doesn’t destoy America as we know it. Its amazing how we can watch as a little known about man, be voted in as the president of the greatest nation in the world, and have him appoint crooks to lead us who cannot even live in their own private lives an honest respectable life with any amount of of integrity. Where are these people?? Surely there are honest trustworthy people that could serve us better. This nation was founded on Christian, God fearing people. How do you think we got where we are, and have been blessed so much in our nation? It is only after they have tryed to remove God from everything and smother his laws of how we should live and honor him, that we have failed in so many ways as a nation and have become so decisive against each other. He hoped that giving us that free will we would choose to follow his leading and be devoted to him. You know if we all followed the 10 commandments like we should mankind would be so great. His widsdom is far superior to ours, and he gave us those to bless us and to guide us in the right direction. I wonder sometime why God gave us free will to make our own decisions since we all fail so badly in making right decisions,but its because he created us to worship him and to not be robots in his control, instead he gave us that freedom to choose. And oh how we have failed him! I think it must make him sad and disappointed that the very beings he made have turned so far from his ways, all for selfishness, greed, and control. The one fact that remains is that we each and every one must bond together in love and adoration of our Heavenly Father and our great nation and submit our lives to him, and ask that he would forgive us ,and bless our nation once more, and make us united and strong so that we would bring praise honor and glory to him. Enough finger pointing!! Americans get on your knees and thank God , ask him to for give us , and change your ways. It all starts with YOU!

Have we all forgotten how wonderful, strong, and proud England used to be? England stood up save the world from tyranny not long ago, risking all. – Professor TPS, this is a very strange claim for a historian. Do you really think that this kind of idealistic thinking has anything to do with reality?

Wrong again, Mary! I love my country. Now, go back into your uncle’s basement and don’t come out until the next election’s over. G’bye!

Whatever.

Me and my “ilk”?

Yeah, demonize a whole subset of the population because they don’t agree with you.

Evil liberals, right.

Conservatives claim to be so patriotic and all that bullshit; they just hate half the people living here.

mary — I didn’t call you a liar. Rather, my comment above contained a typo and should have read as follows: “The faultiness lies in your apparent belief that the election process was not rife with fraud and illegal voting. BTW, it was!” As for he-said, she-said, I don’t have time to banter with you all day. Perhaps, you and your ilk can get together for tea and debate yourselves. G’bye.

Riiight. You just called me a liar, or can’t you read?

Don’t you have anything substantive to add? Anything at all?

Given the demographics of the exit polls, what proof do you have that it was “feeble minded” Americans who voted for Obama?

And what proof do you have that it was the enlightened among us that voted for McCain? And were they the same who had the wisdom to elect our current president?

mary — There you go again with the left-wing name-calling. When all else fails, call names, Geesh!

BTW, I’m proud of the label “liberal.” It’s not a slur.

The dirty word here is the pathetic, asinine, egotistical neoconservatism that has devastated this country.

I’m comparing you to Hitler if these people are comparing Obama to Hitler.

Probably holds the same amount of water.

After all, you support an institution that has committed genocide–the US government.

You can whine and gripe all you want about “fraud.”

Were you complaining the last 8 years when the worst president in history was sworn in based on the decision of one of his own campaigners?

You’re a right-wing nut.
