The natives are getting restless...

I'm curious about the parts with which you do agree.

The last 5 paragraphs sum it up perfectly.

She talks about marriage laws in a light that might seem she disagrees with same sex marriage. I personally have no problems with same sex couples recieving the benefits of marriage. I would not call it marriage, but that is my opinion.

But before we derail this thread already... What do you think about this? Can you see the parallels?

[Grace]

Personally, I think she's as wacky as a Saturday morning cartoon.

[Puckstop31]

Fair enough. But can you please tell me why you think that? I ask because the historical parallels are undeniable.

Now, before you dismiss me, I need to explain a bit further. No, I do not think the current administration has a goal of exterminating a race of people as the Nazis did. Nor do I think that they have evil intentions. but I do believe their goals are completley fascist in their nature. It will be "nanny state" fascism, but fascism none the less.

Dictionary.com defines fascism as...

"(sometimes initial capital letter) a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism."

We are not fully there yet, but it is going that way. There is time to stop it, but only if more people will be willing to see what is going on.

Have you ever wondered why the President's "Auto Task Force" has not ONE person on it who actually knows the Auto Industry? Better yet, how does he know what "cars the American people want to buy" are?

Death and suppression by a thousand paper cuts.

You lost me as soon as I read her diatribe. This over-the-top hysteria because Obama was elected President - as my husband says, some people always have to have a bogeyman.

When one spews extreme vitriol, one only succeeds in pushing people away – alienating them.

EXACTLY. For this President, it just happens to be big business. Soon, it will be some other "crisis". A crisis that only HE (government) can solve. If that solution requires a little bit of Liberty be lost, so be it.

GWB did the same thing. Did you defend people on your side "spewing vitriol" in the EXACT same manner as this op-ed does? But personally, I do not see how drawing a historical comparison is "vitriol". That's the cool thing about historical fact... Its FACT. We can disagree with the conclusion of intent, but there is no denying the comparison.

So, you could be right. We could end up living in a land of sunshine and roses. But then again, there is historical precedent for what is going on and the results have always been the same.

When I said as my husband says, some people always have to have a bogeyman., I was referring to the author of the article you posted.

I don’t want to get into a name-calling thing with you, but Obama Derangement Syndrome seems to be a problem for Ms Geller. She believes that "any black man is ineligible to run for President and that any vote for himself or anyone else is invalid". That tells me all I need to know about this person.

I don’t argue with the historical facts – I argue with her comparing Obama with the leaders of the Third Reich.

I’m sorry you agree with her. I thought better of you. Now I’m out of this very unpleasant topic.
