Nazis, Conservatives, and Religious Nut Jobs

I really like the "Letters of Note" blog...Here's a note from Hitler that's a pretty good piece of history.

Frum asks the uncomfortable but prescient question: "Can Conservatives Govern?" The nut graf:

• "One attendee said something very thought-provoking. “Maybe it was a good thing we weren’t in power then – because our principles don’t allow us to respond to a crisis like this.”

  My answer: If your principles don’t allow you to save your country when it needs to be be saved, then there’s something wrong with those principles."

A follow-up on that "Gospel of Prosperity" nonsense: The Atlantic's Hanna Rosin asks: "Did Christianity Cause the Crash?"
