Good Grief! (Not that we do not have them here, too, but at least, so far, not as elected members of Congress!).All my sympathy, Reb!n, widow of a Holocaust SurvivorTo: MSersLife Sent: Mon, September 20, 2010 1:19:58 PMSubject: Sad...no

disgusted...no sad AND disgusted

So...it happened...unbelievable as it is. Yes, I want to call it unbelievable, I know many say today it shouldn't have come as a surprise, and in a way I suppose it didn't, but I just never wanted to believe it would actually take place... an actual nazi party* in the Swedish parliament. And with a risk of real influence** as well.I am sad all over AND completely disgusted. Many sad and angry songs played today. Over and over again. I know. They (the morons who voted nazi) are only about 6%. That means 94% didn't. And I suppose that should be a comfort. Probably will be, another day. But today I am just sad and disgusted. Doesn't make it a lot better that here where we are they actually got between 10% and 14%. said over dinner today: "Never before have I seen and heard people do the nazi salute [sieg Heil] live. Not anywhere. Not anytime. Only in documentaries about the 1930's and 1940's and world war II. But here I have.... And yet this is a nice place. How is that even possible?" I can only agree, and I have no answer. This IS a nice place. But yes, here I have seen and heard that, and been disgusted by it, and the political situation is just plain nightmarish. It doesn't add up, it just

doesn't. Sigh... I guess I should go to bed now, and I say as one friend of mine said in a text just now: "Going to bed now. When I wake up tomorrow I want this whole election result to just have been a bad nasty dream". Agree.love/Reb* Sverigedemokraterna, abbreviated SD, used to be an self-acclaimed nazi party, they have cleaned up their act a little. But not their agenda or their politics, the only thing that has changed is they no longer use the nazi-word, and they *try* to refrain from saying Sieg Heil and stuff like that in public, with varied/limited success (ie. they tend to do that as soon as they don't know there is a camera or reporter present). And in at least one local parliament (City hall? Is that the word?), another, very much openly nazi, party has won a seat. ** Neither the socialist nor the non-socialist side won a majority on their own, so the solution, as it looks right now, will be a minority government always at risk

of having to rely on the SD-party. I know they say *now* they will never ever do that, but we have yet to see that in actual day to day politics, when they need a majority vote in the parliament. One can always hope, of course.
