Re: Unanswered Questions

I can't tell who posted what here so I'll just make comments.
Anyone who compares the activities of Bush to Hitler is historically 
challenged. He should be soaking his head in a bucket instead of 
attempting to spread this putrid garbage. In 1933 Hitler outlawed his 
principal rivals, the Communist party. As beneficial as it would be our 
radical leftitists, the democrats, are still at full screech. By 1934 
Hitler had outlawed any disenting press organs. No such step has been 
taken in the U.S. By 1934 every officer and enlisted man in the 
Reichswehr, the Luftwaffe and the Kreigsmarine was taking personal oaths 
of allegiance to Adolph Hitler rather than Germany. Haven't heard that 
about the U.S. Armed Forces. By then Hitler had also gained a distinct 
ability to quash any film he considered inimical to the Nazi State and 
to imprison thier creators. Idiots like Micheal Moore are still at large 
to spew their diarrhea. By 1934 Hitler had dismissed the Reichstag. Both 
houses of Congress still meet in Washington. So what is this moron 
talking about? He's relying on the old leftist trick of trying to use 
peoples ignorance against them. He's a foul fish. Pay his further posts 
since the extent of his ignorance places instellar space to shame.

If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an 
equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other.
