Use of the analogy to the Nazis in the title is justified. What made Hitler and his goons so powerful in Germany was that they saw no separation between their political position and their government office. Their loyalty to their political party was greater than their loyallty to the country, so they felt that using the power of their government position for political, even personal goals, was justified. To the Nazis, use of the power of their government office was just the same as using the power of their political office. In other words, if you needed a hotel sold to the Nazi Party for a conference center, you could either use your political resources, i.e., send the Brown Shirts to intimidate the owners, or you could use the power of the government office to have the owners jailed. In the Tripp indictment and the Limbaugh investigation, the Democrats betray their Nazi tendancies when it comes to seeing their elected office as an acceptable tool for settling political scores. Just to remind everyone of a parallel to the current Rush Limbaugh "investigation", the Linda Tripp indictment. Long after it served any purpose but political revenge, the Democrat prosecutor indicited Linda Tripp in Maryland on wiretapping charges. Two things make it obvious that it was a political prosecution, the strength of the case and who called for the indicitment. Both of which the media gave very little coverage. First of all, the law had a loophole where you had to be aware of the law to violate it. And the conversations in question took place with Lewinsky being in either DC or Virginia, NOT Maryland. Second, a county Democrat Club and some hotdog with a White House connection encouraged their fellow Democrat to bring charges. Politicians wanting people in jail, regardless of the facts. Maybe in their blind rage, they hoped to be successful, but if nothing else, it was another chance to smear Tripp with any manner of charges, disrupt her life, cause her fear and to drain her finances. All of which the Democrats could do at no risk to themselves. And now comes the Palm Beach Democrat prosecutor. Note that the media gives very little coverage to what doctors were "raided". I'm not defending Rush with the following statements, I'm pointing out that the Democrats had a weak case like they did with the Tripp indictment. Two doctors were from the SAME practice and treated Limbaugh for the SAME problem. Doctor shopping here? I don't think so. The other two doctors, well one treated him for failing hearing and the other cured it. When most people hear "Doctor Shopping", they take it to mean that you'd be seeing multiple doctors with only the intent of getting more prescription drugs and that the doctors would be unaware of the others. In this case, the patient had multiple doctors treating multiple problems and at least the doctors in the same practice could reasonably be expected to know of each other, likewise with the pair of doctors who treated the ear problem. "Doctor Shopping" charges only work if you make a big assumption, THE DOCTORS WERE IN ON IT. And I don't remember any Democrat prosecutor mentioning that. Why, because the doctors who go after him publically and he doesn't want the weak case publicized. Look at the current crop of Democrat candiates. Their rhetoric is full of conclusions that are not based on evidence. It's one thing to do that in an election, it's another to do it where we all look for justice and protection. It's been said, "Never Trust A Democrat With Your National Security". It's becoming clear that "Never Trust A Democrat With Your Civil Rights" is not an unfair statement.
And in this case, it's a comfy old shoe that the Democrats hate to give up.
You are not dead, I can prove it.
As history has proven. when this kind of power is dangled in front of Evil Dums,commies,fascist,libs, they start planning the imprisonment of the "others" (anyone that doesn't agree with them)
but back to your response. It makes no sense. The facts are the facts. The Nazi's built their party base by handing out food and shirts. They taught the young children how to march the goose step etc. it's called going after the hearts and minds. Dums try it all the time. But, they just can't get past the American individualism.
My kind? Those who don't resort to pedestrian, cartoonish criticisms of political parties that can neither stand up to scrutiny nor having any valid historical comparison?
Ofcourse the Dums subscribe to the big lie theory. Reaaly, don't you Dums find it insulting to be treated like some kind of mindless sheep heard by your "leaders". Or is it that the Dums like for someone else to think for them.
Not being a Democrat, I wouldn't know. I think by the time you graduate from high school, you'll possibly have the ability to discern between reality and what those voices in your head tell you.

They built it on a lot more than that.

American individualism? I would exhort you in the strongest terms not to speak about something you clearly neither understand nor have any experience with.
Does it hurt to be that stupid?
Finally, It is time for all the socialist lovers to understand that America is toooo big to govern by totalitarian principles. Our founding Fathers were guided by God, because no mere mortal could have provided such a magnificent document as the Constitution of the United States.
