And one more thing. I've been on this forum a little while now and can say I'm amazed at the term "nazi" being thrown around like the liberals did to Bush during the election and after. Remember Godwins Law.................it's working around here lately.

Perhaps you need to do some educational time then. Because the time period immediately preceeding the Nazis had a lot in common with where we are headed in this country today.

Do let me know if I can help you with understanding this.

First go read the Bible, so you can learn the true meaning of the sanctity of life and what God has to say about it.

Then, go read this link, so you can learn the true meaning of Godwin's law.

http://www.answers.com/topic/godwin-s-law

The purpose of Godwin's law was to keep people from "trivializing the evils that the Nazis perpretrated by comparing insignificant matters to Hitler's atrocities".

It does not mean that we should not make legitimate comparisons. It is our duty, after all, to learn from the mistakes of history lest we repeat them. And, that means ALL history including Nazi Germany's.

The Nazi Holocaust began with the killing of the elderly and incapacitated. That is a fact. And, we are doing this very same thing right now.

The only real difference is that when the Nazi's began killing the disabled, they tried to hide it and sent the relatives of victims fake letters of condolence. Here in America, we know exactly what is happening and in many cases it's the victims' relatives who give the order to kill.

When my stepfather had a stroke, we were told that his condition was much worse than it actually was. And, the doctors didn't just recommend that we kill him, they badgered us to do so. We refused. Later, after he'd regained consciousness, they told us that the diagnosis wasn't as bad as they'd originally thought and that he could be rehabilitated.

My stepfather did die shortly afterwards from a coronary, but he died of natural causes surrounded by a family who loved him and would never dream of killing him. If we'd have "pulled the plug" on him, so to speak, when the doctors wanted us to, we'd have never gotten the opportunity to tell him how much we loved him before he passed away. And, we would've had his blood on our hands.
