It is amazing to read this brief history of Hitler's rise to power. There are many similarities to what is going on today.

I think most people have seen similiarities. I’m glad someone has compiled them in one place.

Thanks for posting.

For the last 8 years, according to the anti-war crowd, GW Bush was the next Hitler......history was never a strong point for code pink anyway......

You’ve titled the post Hitler V Obama, yet the text of the post is entirely about Hitler. The provided link is also without word of the promised similarities. Maybe you should have titled your post “Hitler”.

I’d have been interested in seeing some analysis on Hitler’s similarities to Obama. Most anyone knows the simple similarities. But if all you’re doing is leaving it for me to draw my own, what good was your post?

I find it amazing Paulson allowed the final monetary collapse to come just before the election.

Posting crazy Internet chain email like this might lead people to think you need to see a shrink. You can do better.

The main difference: Hitler had a brain. Totally evil. But a brain.

One of my “hobbies,” I guess you could say, is studying Nazi Germany and the World War II period. As I was doing so online these last few days, I have been struck by the similarities between the rise of Zer0 and the rise of Hitler, one similarity being most of the MSM. Nothing negative could be written, or said, about “The One.”

Scary. Very scary.

One thing to notice was that the loyal democracy loving Germans had a conundrum when they saw Hitler coming to power. Some managed to get into exile and help revive the GDR when Hitler was removed, through massive force that was unavailable to the loyal democratists. The other choice was to fight from within, placing their love of democracy higher than their love of Germany.

A better historical analogy was Caesar crossing the Rubicon, signaling the end of the Roman republic.

Here’s a hypothetical I posted at Intrade, which generated some insightful conversation.

https://bb.intrade.com/intradeForum/posts/list/555/2279.page

Here’s a set of hypotheticals for you. Let’s say you’re a loyal Roman republican with 5 buddies watching Caesar cross the Rubicon with his army, and you know full well what that means for the Roman republic. What is your duty at that point?

Let’s say you’re a loyal German who believes in democracy and you see Hitler making tanks instead of VW’s as he has promised the peepull. What is your duty at that point?

Let’s say you’re a loyal american constitutionalist and you see a marxist usurper cheating his way to the presidency, you file a lawsuit and it gets thrown out of SCOTUS within a week of the inauguration. What is your duty at that point?

I know, I know... no one ever really addresses a good hypothetical. Here’s an example: If the sky were green, would more people have green eyes? Many people say stuff like, “of course the sky ain’t green” or they go into the physics behind why the sky ain’t green or they ask you why you aren’t in with the yellow-eyed crowd or they say green-eyed people are just monsters or all kinds of things, but they never really address the hypothetical. So I shouldn’t hold out any hope that you’d be different.

But at least I’m on record with trying to stop this constitutional travesty and if I wander back to my farm in the highlands rather than continue the fight through further futile Roman Empire politics, that’s my business. The only guy who survived in that movie of ‘300’ was the one whose job it was to tell the history.
