Much like the French SS Guard Battalion stayed loyal to Hitler until the very end in Berlin.

You keep comparing Obama to Hitler.

I don't CARE who wrote what was said. I care about the CONTENT. She might be a whacko, but she said some things that I agree with.

Fine - agree with them. But don't expect the rest of us to be in lock-step with you.

Some people seem to assume the rest of us have never read a book and live in ignorance.

Some time ago I became interested in WWII. So I asked some REAL experts what I should read. I started out with "Mein Kampf" - after all it is the beginning, then I read Wm Shirer's "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" and Albert Speer's "Inside the Third Reich." It went on from there. The whole video series about the war, the TIME/Life series as well as many first hand accounts.

I an not an expert. And my interests have moved on. But I know enough that this whackjob (that website!! She makes Ann Coulter look sweet and gentle!) is playing another version of the bogus parlor game...Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy and Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln!

The comparisons are opinions at best. There are so many, many more differences between the situation in the US today and Germany when Hilter took over. And between Hilter and Obama. But of course...who would circulate an email that pointed those out????

And I also know enough to put Normandy in France -- not England!

I assume nothing.

I've read all those titles, plus many more. I've been involved with first hand interviews with veterans. The research was for some articles published in WWII Magazine.

Have you watched the Band of Brothers series? I live about 30 miles from Major Winters. I've met him, several times and have had the absolute privilidge of talking with him at length about his experiences.


Having read Mein Kampf... Certainly, Barack Obama's motivations are not similar. But some of the methods are, would you not agree? Face it ES... You are a very self confident person. You think that your way is THE way. You've said before... "If people keep making stupid decisions...." The context was in reference to controlling people. Admit it or not, you have Fascist tendencies.

I can back up my opinions by merely linking a few articles showing things The President has said. But you are right... It is my opinion. I hope I am wrong.

I got the email from my boss... Who is admittedly a mindless Republican. I should have known better than to use it without sourcing. The lady is clearly a nutjob. BUT... I do agree with some of the stuff I said. SOME.

And I also know enough to put Normandy in France -- not England!

Of course Normandy is in France. May I ask what museum you visited? The British and Canadians referred to the Americans as "Yanks". The French generally did not.

So like you... You cannot just resist the personal dig. You are such a hypocrite. You rant and rave at Blue, yet you do this. I cannot believe I actually offered you a olive branch. Shocking that you chose not to accept.

Admit it or not, you have Fascist tendencies.

This kind of childish and silly name calling is why I keep you on ignore.

LOL

I cannot believe you can say that with a straight face...

I call a spade a spade. Sue me. And as usual... Style matters more than substance.

I did dig through quite a few press releases from the FEC, the source quoted for chasingevil's blog, on their own website and no where did I find any quote from Pam Geller.

It realy dosent take more then a basic HS world history to note the similarities between what the current administration is doing to what pre WWII Germany did succesfully. Pam Geller went over the top in her delivery but that dosent negate her point.

Plus she looks great in a bikini.

Some evidence of my point...

The meat...

Under the Bush team a prominent and profitable bank, under threat of a damaging public audit, was forced to accept less than $1 billion of TARP money. The government insisted on buying a new class of preferred stock which gave it a tiny, minority position. The money flowed to the bank. Arguably, back then, the Bush administration was acting for purely economic reasons. It wanted to recapitalize the banks to halt a financial panic.

Fast forward to today, and that same bank is begging to give the money back. The chairman offers to write a check, now, with interest. He's been sitting on the cash for months and has felt the dead hand of government threatening to run his business and dictate pay scales. He sees the writing on the wall and he wants out. But the Obama team says no, since unlike the smaller banks that gave their TARP money back, this bank is far more prominent. The bank has also been threatened with "adverse" consequences if its chairman persists. That's politics talking, not economics.

Think about it: If Rick Wagoner can be fired and compact cars can be mandated, why can't a bank with a vault full of TARP money be told where to lend? And since politics drives this administration, why can't special loans and terms be offered to favored constituents, favored industries, or even favored regions? Our prosperity has never been based on the political allocation of credit -- until now.

Which brings me to the Pay for Performance Act, just passed by the House. This is an outstanding example of class warfare. I'm an Englishman. We invented class warfare, and I know it when I see it. This legislation allows the administration to dictate pay for anyone working in any company that takes a dime of TARP money. This is a whip with which to thrash the unpopular bankers, a tool to advance the Obama administration's goal of controlling the financial system.

President Obama's motivations migh be different, but his methods are NOT. President Obama is doing the same things the hated former President Bush did, only on a scale MUCH more grand.

How about we stop fighting each other and focus on a corrupt government that day in and day out is removing our Liberty, paper cut by papercut?

All this from a President who has never lead a business... Not even a Dairy Queen....

[Puckstop31]

You keep comparing Obama to Hitler.

Because there are similarities. Perhaps not motivations, but certainly in methods.

Fine - agree with them. But don't expect the rest of us to be in lock-step with you.

I never would. Remember my prime belief in politics... Individual Liberty is the most important thing a government should preserve. The minimal amount of interference possible.
