The texas Democrat walking out was the same as the Nazi party walking out of the german parlament.

So all Democrats are like Nazis? Republicans have the clear lead in moral authority in this country today. But you seem to be suggesting that all Democrats are evil fascists. Are you saying we should have a one-party state with only the Republicans in charge? I doubt that's what you really want. Debate makes a republic like ours stronger, and in fact, Hitler did establish a one-party state.

Hitler ammending the law through executive order was the same as Clinton ruling by executive order.

But not when Reagan or Bush have? How about the Iran-Contra affair? How about Watergate? With Congress sitting on its butt during the Nicaraguan revolution, Reagan had to take strong action, and Ollie North is still a hero in my eyes. But selling arms to Iran to fund the Contras remains a violation of the separation of powers (only Congress can legally write checks), and a serious one at that. Moreover, Nixon surely had dictatorship in mind when he turned loose his dirty trickster Plumbers.

The homosexuals as indicated in the SA is the same as the Gaystapo seeking "acceptance" today.

Given the savage treatment of gays before the 1960s, and continued gay bashing in this country, you are calling all gay activists brownshirts? Certainly much of the gay political agenda is off track, but it's a pendulum swing, much like rights for minorities. After having their power suppressed, when it's returned, the victim mentality sets in and people start demanding special treatment. But to assign this to Nazism is to invite the return of institutionalized prejudice.

The wife who grew to love Hitler was the same as the democrat party appologists for hitler.

So people who remain in the Democratic party trying to improve it are Nazi apologists?

I agree with your comment about Germany's contemporary contracts with Saddam, though. It's significant how many Germans have sided with the Arabs in the Arab-Israeli conflict. It wouldn't seem so unusual given that most leftists around the world are doing it, and Germany is riddled with leftists, but in a country with the Holocaust on its conscience, one would think they could do better.

We should attack Democrats for specific behaviors and individual character flaws. Comparing them en-masse to Nazis does a disservice for the Republican party's image, and it fails to recognize the complexities of the American political landscape. Moreover, it insults the many Democrat veterans who have fought against Nazis both in Europe (such as my father) and in the Gulf Wars. I say be Republican and proud, and defeat corrupt and liberty-stealing Democrats one at a time. But don't link any of them to the Nazi party without citing precise examples, and certainly not the whole party.

Amen.
