They exist. And they are among us. Right-and left-wing extremists, in short, the enemies of freedom. If you thought there was only so far right spinner in the Schwalm-Eder-Kreis and left rioters only Marburg is mistaken. Even in Waldeck-Frankenberg they are anzuteffen. But not only them, no, their "bourgeois" friends in the form of Republicans, NPD, DKP and Left Party are applying in the usual regularity in local, state parliament, Bundestag and European elections. And they have already won sad results. Without the electoral successes of the rights in previous years want to go, the view in the district council, have to see that with two Republicans and a deputy of the Left Party even here the anti-democrats found their way into the local parliament. But we want the freely elected district council members not generally imply the proximity to the radical excesses of their comrades.
But what herb is growing against this evil? How will they get rid of? We are just as liberals here are the responsibility of the liberal order to protect our country. As guardian of the middle, as Verteigerin of freedom and civil rights, we are at the forefront in the fight against intolerance and extremism gewalltätigen. But what is he like, this fight for freedom? As we come to blind ideology of yesterday and the day before, without even leaving the ground of freedom of expression and of the political process? It is important that one must always apply to us: as long as the Federal Constitutional Court does not state that certain groups and parties to ban unconstitutional and we need it (whether we like it or not) accept and tolerate. Because if we make this principle in question, we run the risk of political expediency to prohibit parties are uncomfortable and inconvenient. And so we end up with the old theme of the NPD ban. Many now call for a new Ban request, but Guido Westerwelle noted quite rightly that such a procedure must be thoroughly prepared and can only be started if one is certain that before the Federal Constitutional Court also has stock. And this now seems obvious not to be the case. Competent lawyers, sometimes even from the Left, have warned that could fail at this stage the procedure. And nothing more lift to the rights and legitimacy would expect, as a re-Failed closure case. But we should draw lessons from the Weimar Republic. Germany needs a defensive democracy. Military custody to the enemies of democracy in time off. It may sound krotesk, but the saying "No tolerance with Into Creator assistants" has much truth in itself. Who offers the possibility of anti-democrats auszuhölen democracy and eliminate aid to make the guilty. We need to keep the enemies of freedom always in the eye and recognize hazards in advance and avoid. In the final analysis, this means also prohibit parties that arise outside of the democratic order. But but only if it is discovered legally sound. In the meantime, however, it is wrong to let these forces the field. It is often said we should get involved not only in content and policy discussions with political extremists. This would make it presentable and give them too much attention. But can one seriously bring a curb extremist ideas good? Probably not. For if the right and left without comment and ignored the Internet and continue to win on the road with their populist and cynical slogans for (young) supporters, the democratic forces must not be indifferent stand on the sidelines. Clear, liberal, edge helps show here to convince the citizens from the fact that we have politically, the better arguments and concepts. Even though a democratic system may have its faults, it is still the best known of all systems, the Allows people the most possible freedom.
But we just can not rely on the better arguments, because the enemies of freedom do not play with open cards. Violence and intimidation, often leave the debate on equal terms not. Therefore, there must be Sicherungssystme as party bans. But this should not be used recklessly and carelessly. This instrument can only be the very last of all. And therefore all citizens (regardless of age) asked me, are committed to active democracy and freedom. This begins in the small. Whether called upon their friends on the football field, on the bus or in the disco, we are all anti-democratic acts to criticize when they arise and to show. Anyone here brave, not cocky, shows courage, others will probably also move to not look away, but his bluff. Therefore it is important, even in apparently harmless, humorous remarks meant to make it clear that extremism is not wanted polititscher and can not be accepted. "Resist the beginnings" is a known demand, which is called in this context. And where there is hardly anything to add. The evil must already be tackled at the root, before the extremist ideas further solidify. This is the only way to prevent that right and left groups Feed and are found spread. And this fight we must, lead the young generation more decisively, as we are in the fortunate position / were not in a dictatorship, a totalitarian system to grow up. Germany has endured over the last seventy-five years both a right and a left-wing dictatorship. We have seen what happens when people have been killed for their beliefs, if freedom of expression and independent thinking have been turned off. From this we must draw our doctrines protect and defend the present term heritage and committed, not only we but also our children even in peace, freedom and prosperity can be large. But that can only be non-partisan. The democratic parties have to fight this battle together, without him to abuse and exploit for their own purposes. Only then will the so-called protest voters will see that it does not work, choose extremist parties, but harms all. Therefore it is important to convince many people from going even choose first. The illusion that we could change by staying at home something is a fallacy. Because someone is always selected and doubt are the very ones the wrong people.
