"I'm actually very conservative."-Hillary Clinton, 1993.
Heh. A lot of people made the error of not taking Hitler at his word, for whom he then went on to spectacularly demonstrate just how erroneous that was.

Read Mein Kampf if you want further insight. Too bad more people didn't when it mattered.
