Socialism is the doctrine of liberation for the working class. It promotes the rise of the fourth class and its incorporation in the political organism of our Fatherland, and is inextricably bound to breaking the present slavery and regaining German freedom. Socialism, therefore, is not merely a matter of the oppressed class, but a matter for everyone, for freeing the German people from slavery is the goal of contemporary policy. Socialism gains its true form only through a total fighting brotherhood with the forward striving energies of a newly awakened nationalism. Without nationalism it is nothing; a phantom, a mere theory, a castle in the sky, a book. With it it is everything, the future, freedom, the fatherland. – Joseph Goebbels	added by Normando 3 years ago

It's been downhill ever since.But the story in the book of Genesis never places Satan in the Garden of Eden. – Bruce Wells	Found on CNN 7 years ago

But this holds together really well, and it is very true to Scooby-Doo and very true to us. – Paul Stanley	Found on FOX News 8 years ago
