Not sure why, but it leads to a storehouse of pre-mined quotes:

The section he linked to on UD contains an inadvertently amusing one:
| Quote | Adolf Hitler (1889 – 1945)
Decisive is the power that the peoples have within them; it turns out that the stronger before God and the world has the right to impose its will. From history one sees that the right by itself is completely useless, if a mighty power does not stand behind it. Right alone is of no use to whomever does not have the power to impose his right. The strong has always triumphed… All of nature is a constant struggle between power and weakness, a constant triumph of the strong over the weak. Speech April 13, 1923 |
Thus, ultimately, as they are fond of arguing over there at UD, without God putting his power behind it, "right" is meaningless. Classic, ageless might makes right, and the Almighty is the Alrighty.
