Has that line been crossed yet? When is enough enough?

It is very tempting to shrug off all of this as nonsense that won't work in America, and that to compare this with Hitler youth or soviet komsomol (communist union of youth) is a gross overkill. Hopefully so. But what history taught us is that it does not take too long to convert a nation of great achievements in science, literature, music, medicine, industry, etc, etc into a nation of "I just followed the orders" killers. I am talking about slide of Germany into a Nazism nightmare. Or take another nation, where a son ratting on his parents (who saved some of their food and seeds from expropriation) was proclaimed a national hero (Pavlik Morozov in the USSR). Do I think we are on the way? - NO, not by far. But we should remember that nobody is immune.

I agree that we must remain vigilant just in case Obammy somehow becomes successful.

I have been unable to verify that there is a pledge. I signed up at OFA and no pledge was offered, even as a box to check.

In the “profile” section, it does have a fill-in for “why I support Barack” but no pledge.

If anyone finds it, please post it.

Im not a racist but my German Shepard Labrador mix has some serious issues. When the knock comes to my front door I will be letting the dog out the side door.

Do you think he will try to grow a Charlie Chaplin mustache like Hitler seems to have done?

Part of the goal of this movement is to compile a list of folks requiring “re-education”.

That will put you on the list.

I’m not saying you should do otherwise, however.

Actually, I think you are correct.

Chaplin introduced the mustache in 1914 and Hitler started wearing the same mustache after the start of WWI.

Rumor has it that Hitler first had a long mustache (see pic) but was ordered to trim it so it would fit inside a gas mask...and the Hitler toothbrush was born.

And what about those who stand against Hussein? We’ve already seen the White House attacks on Rush and Cramer. What will happen to the little, unknown types? Will their social security be taken away? Will their credit card company cancel them? Will they be denied a mortgage? Will they be audited by the IRS? And will anyone ever hear about it?

When he runs for re-election he will be re[elected by a bigger margin that he was elected. They made fun of Hitler also. He was called”My Little Corporol “ by some. I cannot recal his nme. It was either Hindinberg [sp?] or Bismark.

I am rereading Shirer's Rise and Fall... and Obama (so far) is no Hitler.

Hitler was a demonic dynamo! Obama...not so much!

Mr. Obama has organized his own cadre of Brown Shirts (or, if you prefer, Red Shirts) to agitate for his agenda. Mr. Alinsky would be proud. And rightly so. For this is simply the continuation of Mr. Obama's perpetual campaign. A campaign, as we noted at the time, that was modeled on Saul Alinsky's organizing principles.

I spoke to Saul Alinsky years ago - he helped me solve an ethical problem. So I’m going to defend him just this one time - because much is done in his name that makes him look like a monster. But there was a strong ethical streak in him. He felt that being effective in the name of “good” was OK because he saw his tactics as those used by the powerless and innocent against the powerful and corrupt.

I don’t believe he would have been on the side of the powerful using these tactics against ordinary citizens.

And there might come a day when conservatives will need to use some of his tactics against a totalitarian left. So, that’s my one favor returned to a man who was kind to me over 40 years ago - there was goodness in this man.

And no, I have not made a point of reading all of his writings or studying him or anything - I’m just giving my personal impression.

To answer your questions:
1. ever hear of Joe the Plumber?
2. In all probability.
3. I would say yes.
4. Again I would say yes.
5. Most definately.
6. No. Only those that they tell and they like a group on this form when someone tells or post something about police misconduct will defend obama and ask them what they did to deserve it. Also they will tell them that they[ the auditee] hates government.
