Is it Time Again?

If you're familiar with the story of Sophie Scholl and her fellow members of the White Rose Society, then the question asked in the title of this post will make perfect but chilling sense.

If you're not familiar with the story, please take a few moments and read this  recounting of the White Rose Society by Jacob Hornberger of the Future of Freedom Foundation.

Jacob also does a masterful job of explaining why the Germans supported Hitler's rise to power in this two part essay:  Here is part 1,  and here is  part two.

If the story of the White Rose Society strikes a familiar chord in your heart regarding the direction America appears to be headed today, then I encourage you to visit this blog often for the intellectual and moral ammunition that will hopefully inspire a new generation of men and women whose moral compasses will not allow them to willingly let their country and their culture make the same kind of mistakes that 1930's Germany made.

Sophie Scholl and other members of the White Rose possessed precisely the type of courage that is greatly needed in our day.  In time, their countrymen came to recognize that the White Rose was, in fact, the remnant of the best that remained of German society during those dark years of the Third Reich.  Their sacrifice was not in vain and should we find ourselves in similar circumstances, our efforts to preserve liberty will not be in vain either.
