Da ist er also, der lange erwartete Nazi-Vergleich für das US-amerikanische Heimatschutzministerium, das Department of Homeland Security. Er kommt aus der linksliberalen Ecke, aus der mit sowas zu rechnen war, aber er macht sich nicht, wie erwartet, an der Politik dieses Achtung Bureau fest, sondern am Namen:
It all began with the name Homeland Security. Somebody with a tin ear came up with that, maybe the pest exterminator from Texas, or Adm. Poinduster, because, friends, Americans don’t refer to this as our homeland. It’s an alien term, like Fatherland or Deutschland or Tomorrowland. Irving Berlin didn’t write “God Bless Our Homeland.”…
“Homeland” was a word you heard shrieked by a cruel man flicking his riding crop against his shiny black boots: “Zie homeland — ve shall defend it at all costs, achwohl!”
Achwohl?
