George Hitler or Adolf Bush
“The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it.”

“The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.”

“The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one.”

“The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belonged to one category.”

“The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.”

“Universal education is the most corroding and disintegrating poison that liberalism has ever invented for its own destruction.”

You just made my point with this quote! ( in 2 other clips I've commented on today) Thanks! Maybe you could come across the quote by Lenin that explains why so many have jumped on the Liberal Agenda Bandwagon in this country and the world. You know... "Tell a lie often enough......" etc. AND, We all need to keep in mind how Our Father the Creator describes the "ruler of this world", Satan- as "The Father of the Lie" and that DECEPTION was responsible for the fall of mankind originally. Please don't comment about how you don't believe, blah, blah.....There is a spiritual, invisible realm-Whether you believe it or not! You could just as easily say "I don't believe in GRAVITY" and if you ...

You could just as easily say "I don't believe in GRAVITY" and if you go jump off a cliff, you'll get the same result as "not believing in God" will lead you to eventually. I hope that's not too blunt- but, hey.... the time to pick sides may be shorter than you think!

Bear, I appreciate your intent to justify righthand's questionable insinuation. I admit that there are perturbing processes in the USA.

To what extent are Bush’s legal counselors (including Gonzales) playing a role analogous to that of Nazi jurists in the 1930s? The answer is disturbing. Though there are obvious differences in political ideologies and historical context, there are key similarities:

1. A “state of emergency” was declared to strengthen executive power.
[...]
2. Political theories provided a legal framework for executive usurpation of power.
[...]
3. Parliamentary power was reduced following legal reforms.

[...]
5. Legal advisors argued that an unconventional enemy rendered international laws obsolete.
[...]
6. Transformations in law led to state-organized brutality.
[...]
There are, of course, important differences. Nazi lawyers adopted a political ideology cast in terms of “race,” “blood,” and more generally, the “people” (volk). The good of the volk—not of individual Germans—was given precedence over other considerations and Nazi jurists viewed the Führer as the embodiment of the people’s will. This has no analog among the members of the Bush-Cheney legal team.

Another difference is that in the case of Germany, the Reichstag never recovered independent power until after the war. In the case of the U.S. elections of 2006, the Democratic party succeeded in winning a majority. Whether or not they will be willing to roll back the gains in power made by the executive branch since 2001 remains to be seen.

Roberto J. González: Alberto Gonzales & the Lawyers of the Third Reich

Valerie, let me try to translate and propagate the positive core of your admonition by quoting this:

In this time of crisis and war, we believe that walking humbly with God requires us to advocate and practice nonviolent love, in the tradition of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.

We recognize that we are living within a culture of violence and that the war outside our country is intimately linked to domestic policies that leave the marginalized ever more vulnerable. We are committed to promoting an alternative to this culture of violence.

We understand nonviolence as an active practice that requires of us imagination, persistent hope, deep faith, and compassion for both allies and ...

We recognize that we are living within a culture of violence and that the war outside our country is intimately linked to domestic policies that leave the marginalized ever more vulnerable. We are committed to promoting an alternative to this culture of violence.

We understand nonviolence as an active practice that requires of us imagination, persistent hope, deep faith, and compassion for both allies and adversaries. It calls us to remember our place in the common life of the world, so that our loyalty to our nation does not lead us to forget our deeper allegiance to all humanity, to the well-being of our earth, and to our God.

As religious leaders and people of faith, we gather to share our anguish at the violence in which our country is enmeshed, and to discern how to be prophetic and act to promote an alternative to this culture of violence.

Reclaiming the Prophetic Voice

Now let the crows croak.

Fine, Bear. As I can gladly see, no SA-similar thugs bar you from writing your lines, nor knock on your nob for publishing them. Okay, reportedly there are terrorists-ruled areas in the United States, where opponents are hectored as much as different people and indifferent citizens. But would you blame that on Bush? Do you really think, Bush were more than a Jumping Jack at the end of a branch on the dark side of the USA?
Once more: I am glad that you haven't to fear for your life because of performing the freedom of speech. If "Bush is analogue to Hitler" were a true declaration, you would have been caged in a Konzentrationsl...
