I know it’s a couple of weeks late, but I think the OP is really Ernst Röhm.
Sic 'em, Miller!
I’m a pretty good public speaker. This one time, I got swept into office with powers that made martial law seem like anarchy.
Yet, that is exactly what you are doing.
Hitler had methods for that too, but they were not rhetorical.
Really? Which of these quotes from pre-war speeches do you admire?
1923
In the life of nations, what in the last resort decides questions is a kind of Judgment Court of God… Always before god and the world the stronger has the right to carry through what he wills. speech in Munich, 13 April 1923
1925
If freedom is short of weapons, we must compensate with willpower. speech in Landsberg, 5 November 1925
1927
We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions. Speech of May 1, 1927 as quoted in John Toland (1976), Adolf Hitler: The Definitive Biography, p. 224
1930
Then will come a National Socialist State tribunal; then will November, 1918, be expiated; then the heads will roll. testimony at a trial of German officers, Leipzig, in 1930.
1933
I believe that Providence would never have allowed us to see the victory of the Movement if it had the intention after all to destroy us at the end. speech to old members of the Party at Munich, 8 November 1933
I am beginning with the young. We older ones are used up. Yes, we are old already. We are rotten to the marrow. We have no unrestrained instincts left. We are cowardly and sentimental. We are bearing the burden of a humiliating past, and have in our blood the dull recollection of serfdom and servility. But my magnificent youngsters! Are there finer ones anywhere in the world? Look at these young men and boys! What material! With them, I can make a new world. Adolf Hitler c. 1933; quoted from Hermann Rauschning (1939). Hitler Speaks. London: Thornton Butterworth, p. 247.
1934
It would have been more to the point, more honest and more Christian, in past decades not to support those who intentionally destroyed healthy life than to rebel against those who have no other wish than to avoid disease. Moreover, a policy of laissez faire in this sphere is not only cruelty to the individual guiltless victims but also to the nation as a whole… If the Churches were to declare themselves ready to take over the treatment and care of those suffering from hereditary diseases, we should be quite ready to refrain from sterilizing them. speech, 30 January 1934
1935
We want this people to be faithful, and you must learn fidelity. We want this people to be obedient, and you must practice obedience. We want this people to be peace-loving but also courageous, and you must therefore be peace-loving and at the same time courageous. We do not want this people to grow soft, but we want it to be hard so that it will be able to withstand the hardships of life. And for this you have to harden yourselves in your youth. You must learn to be hard, to stand privations without breaking down. We want this people to love honor and you already in the days of your youth must live up to this concept of honor. Speech 14 September 1935; from Gordon W. Prange (1945). Hitler’s Words. New York: American Council on Public Affairs, p. 124.
1936
Sporting chivalrous contest helps knit the bonds of peace between nations. Therefore may the Olympic flame never expire. at the first Olympic torchlighting ceremony, Berlin, 1936
I say that they can be solved; there is no problem that cannot be, but faith is necessary. Think of the faith I had to have eighteen years ago, a single man on a lonely path. Yet I have come to leadership of the German people… Life is hard for many, but it is hardest if you are unhappy and have no faith. Have faith. Nothing can make me change my own belief. speech in Nuremberg, 12 September 1936
1937
This is probably the first time and this is the first country in which people are being taught to realize that, of all the tasks which we have to face, the noblest and most sacred for mankind is that each racial species must preserve the purity of the blood which God has given it… The greatest revolution which National Socialism has brought about is that it has rent asunder the veil which hid from us the knowledge that all human failures and mistakes are due to the conditions of the time and therefore can be remedied, but that there is one error which cannot be remedied once men have made it, namely the failure to recognize the importance of conserving the blood and the race free from intermixture and thereby the racial aspect and character which are God’s gift and God’s handiwork. It is not for men to discuss the question of why Providence created different races, but rather to recognize the fact that it punishes those who disregard its work of creation… As I look back on the great work that has been done during the past four years you will understand quite well that my first feeling is simply one of thankfulness to our Almighty God for having allowed me to bring this work to success. He has blessed our labors and has enabled our people to come through all the obstacles which encompassed them on their way… Today I must humbly thank Providence, whose grace has enabled me, who was once an unknown soldier in the War, to bring to a successful issue the struggle for the restoration of our honor and rights as a nation. speech before the Reichstag, 30 January 1937
Remain strong in your faith, as you were in former years. In this faith, in its close-knit unity our people to-day goes straight forward on its way and no power on earth will avail to stop it. speech at Coburg, 15 October 1937
1938
National Socialism is not a cult-movement—a movement for worship; it is exclusively a ‘volkic’ political doctrine based upon racial principles. In its purpose there is no mystic cult, only the care and leadership of a people defined by a common blood-relationship. Therefore we have no rooms for worship, but only halls for the people — no open spaces for worship, but spaces for assemblies and parades. We have no religious retreats, but arenas for sports and playing-fields, and the characteristic feature of our places of assembly is not the mystical gloom of a cathedral, but the brightness and light of a room or hall which combines beauty with fitness for its purpose… We will not allow mystically-minded occult folk with a passion for exploring the secrets of the world beyond to steal into our Movement. Such folk are not National Socialists, but something else—in any case something which has nothing to do with us. At the head of our programme there stand no secret surmisings but clear-cut perception and straightforward profession of belief. But since we set as the central point of this perception and of this profession of belief the maintenance and hence the security for the future of a being formed by God, we thus serve the maintenance of a divine work and fulfill a divine will—not in the secret twilight of a new house of worship, but openly before the face of the Lord… Our worship is exclusively the cultivation of the natural, and for that reason, because natural, therefore God-willed. Our humility is the unconditional submission before the divine laws of existence so far as they are known to us men. speech in Nuremberg on 6 September 1938
Thus one of Europe’s most serious crises will be ended, and all of us, not only in Germany but those far beyond our frontiers, will then in this year for the first time really rejoice at the Christmas festival. It should for us all be a true Festival of Peace. speech in Berlin, 5 October 1938
1939
In the course of my life I have very often been a prophet, and have usually been ridiculed for it. During the time of my struggle for power it was in the first instance only the Jewish race that received my prophecies with laughter when I said that I would one day take over the leadership of the State, and with it that of the whole nation, and that I would then among other things settle the Jewish problem. Their laughter was uproarious, but I think that for some time now they have been laughing on the other side of their face. Today I will once more be a prophet: if the international Jewish financiers in and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, then the result will not be the Bolshevizing of the earth, and thus the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe! speech to the Reichstag, 30 January 1939, as quoted at The History Place
I can give vent to my inmost feelings only in the form of humble thanks to Providence which called upon me and vouchsafed it to me, once an unknown soldier of the Great War, to rise to be the Leader of my people, so dear to me. Providence showed me the way to free our people from the depths of its misery without bloodshed and to lead it upward once again. Providence granted that I might fulfill my life’s task-to raise my German people out of the depths of defeat and to liberate it from the bonds of the most outrageous dictate of all times… I have regarded myself as called upon by Providence to serve my own people alone and to deliver them from their frightful misery. speech before the Reichstag, 28 April 1939
As Fuehrer of the German people and Chancellor of the Reich, I can thank God at this moment that he has so wonderfully blessed us in our hard struggle for what is our right, and beg Him that we and all other nations may find the right way, so that not only the German people but all Europe may once more be granted the blessing of peace. speech before the Reichstag, 6 October 1939
- never lost my belief, in the midst of setbacks which were not spared me during my period of struggle. Providence has had the last word and brought me success. speech, 23 November 1939
Yeah, and then you barged right into my house and smoked up all my weed! :mad:
That was the point all along, wasn’t it?
How does that apply here? Did anyone ask you who you thought was the greatest orator?
No, you brought the subject up all on your own in the OP. And as you can see, you’re getting your ass handed to you over it. So you need to learn there are certain topics that should be avoided as much as possible. If you have dumb opinions on some subject, try to avoid talking about that subject.
I’m impressed by **rEVO’**s thought processes, as he outlined in the other thread.
So nasty comments finally convinced him to change his ways and start living right?
C’mon gang, we have to work even HARDER!
Bodybuilder? That explains the 'roid psychosis.
Clever.
I hope the use of Hitler as an adjective catches on.
Man, that guy is really Hitler at orration.
Yeah, and he’s a totally Hitler artist to boot!
Can someone please clue me in on “ty men”?
McDonald’s tried that. It didn’t quite work out.
Man, that guy’s the Egg McMuffin of Hitlers!
Since the OP is no longer here, I’m going to close this.
