As I have been pondering where we are and we seem to be headed it has occurred to me that our country is not just at the precipice but may already be slipping down that last slope.
I have often wondered how the Germans could sit by and let Hitler 1) come to power at all; and 2) how could ordinary people allow the atrocities of Germany to occur?
I am beginning to think that this is what is happening to us and the minority can not yell loud enough for those with power to hear. It is getting dangerous out there and I don’t like it at all
I am frightened for my kids. I have recently renewed our passports because of my concern.
NO joke.
Read “The Third Reich; A New History” by Michael Burleigh. I should warn you, it may keep you awake at night.
Read Max Frisch’s “Biedermann und die Branstifter.” Or the American version: “The Firebugs.”
If you described the Holocaust to the average German of 1928 they would have said “that can’t happen here.” From 1955 to at least 1980 they all asked “how could we have let this happen?”
People go along, don’t make waves and follow orders of those “in authority.” It’s what we’re wired to do.
“I have often wondered how the Germans could sit by and let Hitler 1) come to power at all; and 2) how could ordinary people allow the atrocities of Germany to occur?”
Easy answer...Hitler disarmed them. THEY allowed Hitler to disarm them.
Obama and the Liberals (Leftists) know this is absolutely necessary to follow Hitler’s path...the path they want to follow. It is up to all of us to prevent this from happening.
