Quoting Rudolph Hess

While reading Sam Harris's, The End of Faith, I came across this quote of Rudolp Hess:

"The National Socialism of all of us is anchored in uncritical loyalty, in the surrender to the Fuhrer that does not ask the why in individual cases, in the silent execution of his orders. We believe that the Fuhrer is obeying a higher call to fashion German history. There can be no criticism of this belief." (Rudolf Hess, in a speech, June, 1934)

Immediately, I sensed similarity of this quote to letters to the editor that I have seen in the KC Star a couple of times a week defending President Bush. Most of these letters bemoan criticism of Bush as unpatriotic, even unholy. I guess now I see why some pundits refer to the Patriotic American Conservative Party faithful as fascists.
