Oh yes - those Nazis and their Family Values

A German public television network Sunday sacked a
popular talk show host and former news presenter after she had praised the Nazi’s family policies at a news
conference for her new book on
child-rearing.
While presenting her book “Das Prinzip Arche Noah - warum wir die Familie retten muessen” (Arche Noah principle - why we must save the family), she said family values that were nurtured in the Nazi era were cast away by the turmoil of the late 1960s.
“It was a horrible time with a manic and dangerous leader who led the Germans into ruin as we all know. But there was at the time also something good, and that is the values, that is the children, that is the families, that is a togetherness — it was all abolished, there was nothing left,” Herman said.
I’m never surprised by reactionary ideologues who couch their longing for “the good old days” in terms of “it’s good for the children”.
Cripes, she can still get work as consultant for Kongress or the White House.
