I am sitting here, watching The Sound of Music, again. I would guess it’s about the 20th time. On the other hand, I’ve heard the music countless times and then some. I have also seen a couple of stage versions, one with Patrice Muncel. One nice thing about the stage versions is that the stage versions have 2, maybe 3 songs the movie doesn’t and they are nice songs.

Regardless, I am again enjoying the movie. There is the music and the scenery. There is the humor, the children, and of course, the plot, itself.

Don’t mistake my words. It was a horrible thing Hitler did, but he just might have saved us from something worse. The Communists were just as bad. The world fought off Hitler and his bunch, only to be left with far worse. Now, we not only have enemies outside our gates but inside as well. They have disguised themselves as the friends and advocates for the minorities. Of course, the only thing they really advocate is the unification of all governments under one authority and, of course for their good.

In another way, seeing the movie brings out my ire every time as it reminds me of what the Nazis did. Even so, I remember my history. While he took over Germany, they did keep the communists from doing the same, Had Hitler not stopped the communists, the world might have faced even a worse foe.

One might be surprised, but we ought not be. It was foretold in Daniel, in the Bible. It will happen one day. And it will be the worst of all authorities, the worst of all governments.

The thing is, I see no reason to hurry such things along, or at least, I don’t think so. I see no purpose in hurrying the communist takeover. It is only evil, start to finish. God will deal with it. He does know how.

So which is worse? The Nazis or the Communists? In affect, I am not sure there is a measurable difference.

They both specialize in killing and terrorizing.
