When studying the history of the 3rd Reich, I always was mystified how or why the German Parliament would pass the “Enabling Act” allowing Hitler to enact law without their approval— effectively making him a dictator.
Today, I’m beginning to understand it, because we have similar circumstances with a fawning media, and a Democratic Party that supports Obama no matter what he does. Scary as hell!!!
Yes, the similarities are stunning, aren't they? Plus there are the personal attributes - the racism, personal radicalization, community organizer talent, distain for God, demagoguery, sociopathic personality, ruthless purpose, delusions of divinity, and hate for representative government and institutions.
On the other hand, Hitler was a courageous soldier, a middling artist, had a known birthplace, and sported an interesting moustache - traits which our current Fuhrer lacks although he does have some interesting head scars Hitler never had.
For many years Congress has delegated its legislative authority to the various regulatory agencies (EPA etc) to take heat off itself.
This abdication of power has provided Obie with unfettered ability to run the country contrary to enacted law (e.g. FCC - net neutrality, EPA - shutting down oil, gas, coal and now CO2 which we all exhale, and HHS - Obamacare).
He is in complete control.
