National Call Someone A Nazi Day

I proclaim April 2 to henceforth be established as National Call Someone A Nazi Day. This allows for more flexibility than merely National Call Someone Hitler Day. Too many Hitlers spoil the soup. Himmler, Goering, Goebbels, Bormann, the list goes on, covering a veritable panoply of infamy. Why deny ourselves the pleasures of libel on a grand scale? There is a book out by a Jonah Goldberg currently which purports to trace the roots of Nazism to the philosophy of Liberalism. Ever cool. Mr. Goldberg has unearthed the startling fact that Nazis were "National Socialists"! He might have plumbed into the works of Alfred Rosenberg, too, but my interest in the pretentious fluff of Modern Day Opinion does not extend so far as to actually take people who seem to have quite deranged opinions and treat them as if they are entirely up to snuff, brain-wise, so to speak. So I shall not investigate the Rosenberg connection. One must assume that Mr. Goldberg has glossed over the entire parade of 19th century writers on German culture who were anything but Liberal, and whose effect on the NSDAP ( in which the "D" stands for "democratische" or "democratic" which leads to an entire NEW book for Mr. Goldberg!) were much more direct than the works of John Locke, say. I mean, talk about informative. I suspicion that Mr. Goldberg's coat of arms consists of a brace of Town Fools, sinister and dexter, presumably en rampant! Anyhow, to do my part for NaCaSoNaDa ( National Call Someone A Nazi Day, pronounced na-ka-so-NA-da), I shall demonize Huey, Dewey, and Louie:
