Again..that is after Hitler took power.

Read about what led to him getting that power. It started off due to an economic crisis.

When did Obama pass a law to spy on U.S. citizens? What war(s) has he started? When did he order the torturing of prisoners?

I am disappointed in the way things are going now in Washington, but the only people who is acting like Nazis are those on the extreme right.

Because if you go back you will see they give a examples of both parties. Did the Democrats get rid of the patriot act yet? Gitmo is still there. Troops still at war. What has change? not a thing and nothing will change no matter whose in charge dem or repub. they are the same.

This is a true statement. However, it's still very early. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things will change, but George W. Bush was given 8 years to destroy this country. Obama has accomplished a lot in just over 9 months. Believe me, I'm disappointed with Congress and hearing the word "bipartisan" to me is like listening to fingernails on a blackboard. If we wanted the same people to make policy, we would have elected them.

However, it's still absurd to refer to Nazi Germany and Hitler's Final Solution, as so many have done, when talking about the current administration & its policies. I mean, one of the most influential Congressmen is a gay Jew, and to quote him it's "vile, contemptible nonsense."

Ohh yeah look at all the parallels

The death panels! Well I guess since they don't visibly exist they are "secret death panels" The secret interment camps for Republicans Glenn Beck exposed are now known to the entire nation Run for the hills before Obama takes your guns and uses your tax money to teach kids evolution so they can grow up to become Doctors who perform sex changes on illegal immigrants who are draped in the Mexican flag so they can force your kids to learn a language other than English!

Seriously. The idea that America is trending towards fascism is absurd, if you hate Obama, the Democrats, the Republicans to the point where you see them as threatening your freedom then leave! Leave before its too late and go to North Korea to see a country that is truly oppressed and you'll be screaming to be let back into the States under the
"fascist regime*" before you know it

Default The "Facination With Nazi's" Continues !!! .....

[SIZE=5]You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join you in resisting somehow. You don't want to act, or even talk, alone... you don't want to go out of your way to make trouble ... And it is not just fear ... that restrains you, it is also genuine uncertainty ... And you are an alarmist. You are saying that this must lead to this, and you can't prove it ... But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That's the difficulty.

The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, [SIZE=5]and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves, when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed... You have accepted things you would not have accepted five years ago, a year ago, things your father ... could never have imagined."

Greetings,

Without doubt within America at this time there appears to be an incredible amount of renewed interest regarding Nazism and it's prior global doctrine among so many folks both political and public.

It's most peculiar to observe such an dramatic increase.... regarding"Nazism" and it's one time National Socialism policies being applied by some pundits as a comparator to certain "Political Processes" within the United States.

The matter of "Nazism" denotes a most "Chilling" and "Ominious" specter when compared to the "True" American form of government that came from the "Blood & Sacrifice's" of the "Founding Fathers".

As we reason together on this matter ..... could this perhaps "Unprecedented Trend" possibly develop into a dire situation of "Imminent Danger" for our beloved nation ???

It truly appears that "Nazism" is not "Gone With The Winds" of WW11 1945, but perhaps lives on in many different forms around the world

Considering America's current Washington "Political Nightmare" the advent of a strong "Nazi" movement from within would absolutely be the very last impediment to American Liberty "We The People" need at this very crucial moment in our history.

The American People deserve much, much better !

Thanks / Lamar



We are witness to it's incredible popularity

Yes, I know. What I meant is that I personally knew people who lived through it. They're all gone now. The United States definitely ignored the warnings in the 1930s. However, we've gone through bad economic times before. The economic slump has been global, if you watch the international markets. The Euro plummeted too. India is one of the few countries that hasn't had a big drop in GNP. So is this a worldwide plot to control people and put them in prison camps?

Gee, I wonder if the President's name was spelled Ibama if you'd accuse him of giving everyone the finger to say F-you?

Yes, it's been a big plot from the beginning, which is why his parents named him Barack Hussein, the perfect name for a U.S. President.

Let's see now ... a Black Attorney General, a Latina Supreme Court Justice, a Jewish White House Chief of Staff, a Protestant Female Secretary of State, an Irish-Catholic Vice President....

OMG! This is definitely the beginning of an Aryan Nation!

I'm sitting here watching the PBS documentary "Escape from Auschwitz" which is about Rudolph Vrba and Alfred Wetzler. For anyone to compare virtually any country with Nazi Germany is an intellectual obscenity.
