How do you say "Sieg Heil!" in American?[snip]
Let's try some approximations:
I am not now, nor have I ever been....
When your manager says "Jump!", you ask "How high?"
(--told to me by a "headhunter") "I didn't hear you, you worthless piece of shit!
Say it louder!" "Yes, *Sir!*"
(--"Basic training", sic)"Boolah! Boolah! Bow, bow, wow! E-li Yale!"
"Onward Chris-tian so-oldiers marching as to war....."
There *is* the tune which is played whenever our Leader appears in public:
Hail to the Chief
Has anyone noticed how much Condee.... looks like Adolf with her hair severely pulled down toward one eye. All she needs is the mustache.
Also, desn't "Sieg Heil!" mean something like "We shall be victorious!" -- "Heil Hitler!" was the *personalized* (cult of personality, etc.) salute/greeting, yes?
And does anyone really think their vote for U.S. President matters any more than attending a Nuremburg Rally for the Party?
Leave the crowds to crowd themselves.
(--Apocryphal) Leave enthusiasm to enthuse itself.
(--ditto)Students need to be taught to "reduce" all sentences of the form "X is Y" to: "Some person Z has asserted: "X is Y"." Example: Try to motivate someone to go on a suicide mission (note that I did not say "kamikaze mission", because "we" don't do such things...), by telling them: "Someone, as some time, has asserted in the illocutionary form of an exhortation to action, the proposition: "It is sweet to die for your country." ?
