The slow slide into dictatorship

 

 

 

Klaus Rohrich (Bio and Archives) Thursday, March 7, 2013

 

A few months back Fox News’ Alan Colmes commented to the effect that anyone who sees a parallel between pre-WWII Germany and Obama’s America is in dire need of psychiatric help. Most people (and I think Alan Colmes in particular) don’t understand that Hitler’s rise to power came at the behest of German voters, who were swayed by the scapegoating and blaming of Germany’s problems on Jews and duplicitous Communists. Hitler’s rise to absolute power came about quite legally through a series of laws passed through the Reichstag, Germany’s then parliament. Ultimately those laws established the National Socialist (NAZI) party (note the word “socialist”) as the only legal political party in Germany by 1934.

 

Many writers today are loath to make a comparison to the rise of Hitler’s Power in comparison to the rise in Barack Obama’s power because they claim it is “extreme” or “trite.” Be that as it may, there are some definite parallels between the rise of Hitler and that of Obama. Both were rabble-rousers, both were socialists, both had extensive political support from voters as well as big businesses and yes, both were demagogues. In addition, both were also in perpetual campaign mode. Scissors-32x32.png

Saw this kind claptrap (Canada Free Press being the home page of Right Wing Claptrap) From the Left when Nixon, Reagan Bush the younger were President, by the Right when LBJ, Mr. Peanut, Bubba Clinton were President, and by both when Bush the elder was President. Now the His Royal Obamaness is in power I guess it's time once again for the nutters on the right to get up and declare the end of the Republic.

 

 

Why anyone with the brains God gave an animal cracker pays any attention to sites like Canada Free Press and Infowars is one of the many things I just don't get.

Have fun. Just don't expect anything that has more than a nodding acquaintance with reality.
