Nazi Hunter Dies

HOLOCAUST survivor and Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal, who brought more than a thousand war criminals to justice, has died at the age of 96. Here was a man who had first-hand experience at hunting down REAL Nazis. He was a true life Dr. Van Helsing, tracking down bloodthirsty monsters no matter where in the world they fled, and dragging them into the light of day. It's too bad he lived to see how casually mealy-mouthed liberals have cheapened the evil of the Nazi regime by using the word to disparage anyone who disagrees with them. When I was a kid, Nazis were still very real. I remember an army captain who was an investigator at the Neuremburg trials coming in to tell us fifth graders about Nazi atrocities. It was 1960 and the war had ended just 15 years earlier. There were still war criminals being hunted all over the world. NOBODY called someone else a Nazi, not even in jest. It was no laughing matter. It was the absolute worst insult one could use. And today we see high-level Democrats tripping the word off their tongue as casually as though they were calling someone a rogue or a villain. Shame on them. Just shame on them.
