Calling Dr. Ben Carson "a political autodidact" as an insult, as opposed to recognizing him as a learned professional with a career in the heart of the neo-socialist system of healthcare and its reform, a genuine tone deaf German socialist/progressive member of the GOPe comments in the rag of choice(with all the news that's MADE to fit their agenda) on Dr. Ben Carson's comments about the similarity of the current US socialist state to National SOCIALIST Worker's Party. The socialist German endpoint was the final solution for Jews, Gypsies, Catholics and any other enemies of the State and the destruction of nearly all of Europe in their ever expanding need for resources to support their socialism. Dr. Carson spoke eloquently about the facts that with greater firearm ownership-- they would have had a better chance of surviving the socialist forcible removable of their property and their lives. And he is correct. Will search for a blog formerly posted on FR from an Austrian survivor of National Socialism-- as an eye witness to history.

Wehner is the GOPe weenie of the decade. He shilled for that ass Romney and is still shilling for Yeb and Rubio. Just say no.

It could happen here.

Didn’t something happen in the Warsaw ghetto?

Let’s see. . . Maybe “it matters” because he’s right?

But it’s OK when the Libs say that Conservatives are Nazis.

Even the worst totalitarians don't start at the mass killing stage...

Totalitarians start at the bottom - disarming citizens, stopping free speech, taking control of heath care and services people are dependent upon, targeting 'enemies of the State' with IRS etc... - and work their way up...

Ben Carson's talking about 'the birthing' of a totalitarian State... he's NOT saying Obama is putting humans in ovens or rounding them up for camps. Carson's saying the stage is being set...in it's typical fashion.

In Dr Carson’s defense, the whole Hitler/Nazi chapter is probably one of the most interesting subjects of recent history. It is the single most studied and well documented event in human history. So many lessons to be learned. People who dismiss it either never heard that old adage about having to repeat it, or are too stupid to appreciate its significance.

To declare the United States to be “very much like Nazi Germany” is a special kind of libel, yet Mr. Carson ^{The New York Times} is clearly drawn to it.

How many times have we seen “America” spelled “Amerika” by American leftists eager to make exactly that implication???

Carson agrees with Solzhenitsyn.

Someone I usually agree with posted this article on my Facebook page, basically endorsing this guy’s viewpoint.

I just posted that Germany wasn’t under Hitler until it was.

[cpdiii]

And he won’t let go of the myth that the Holocaust would have been “greatly diminished” if Jews in Nazi Germany had been allowed to possess guns.

If you have weapons and know a bad guy will kill you unless you fight, YOU WILL FIGHT!

I had a German friend in my church many years ago. She was a little older than me and had spent several years in a Russian prison camp where, I think, her sister died.

She told me this story. Her family were farmers and well to do. They lived in the country. Her father went to town only occasionally to stock up on needed goods.

One day he went into town and was appalled to see a friend of his, a successful merchant, sweeping the street. He asked his friend, “Herman, what the heck or you doing?” or words to that effect.

The friend did not answer ... just looked down at his broom. In a minute my friend’s father was taken into custody for talking to this man. He spent many hours being questioned and held.

When he came home, he sat at the kitchen table staring into space and wouldn’t tell anyone what was wrong. He was never the same. He eventually told them.

So, no, I don’t dismiss Dr. Carson’s ‘obsession’ with Nazis.

I’ve heard those on the left compare the US to Nazi Germany all the time for decades, and yet the NYT and others haven’t criticized them for it at all.
