For The New York Times economic scene section for March 31, David Leonhardt came across with one of the most amazing admissions about Obama that I've ever seen in the Times. Namely that Barack Obama is just like Hitler. Now, many of you may be solemnly shaking your head in agreement, but in so doing you would be missing why the Times was comparing Obama to Hitler. You see, Leonhardt didn't mean it as an insult. He was saying that it was a good thing that Barack was being like Hitler at least in an economic sense.
"Well, other than that, did you enjoy the theater Mrs. Lincoln?"
And we conservatives are the ones they call Nazis?
Now we know why the New York Times is going out of business.
So Obama’s like Hitler in a good way?
But Bush was like Hitler in a bad way?
Riiiight...
I have been saying the moves he is making in our economy are more like fascism than socialism
Where the heck is our Churchill??????????
Don’t you know that Obama and liberals can do no wrong and conservatives, Republicans, etc. can do no right.
I agree with you.
Obama gave him back to Britain, remember?
:)
There is no nobility amongst thieves. Men, leaders, like Churchill no longer exist, I fear.
Can someone quote just the relevant paragraph? Many of us won’t register with the enemy.
If we can get a lot of people recognizing Obama as a fascist, then we get the Left in the position of having to explain why fascism is a good thing after all. THAT's gonna be a challenge.
He sighed that he didn’t have anyone like armaments minister Speer to put in charge of General Motors.
Obama told his nation that he would make them proud again.
Hitler did the same.
Obama blamed all the problems on the other people.
Hitler did too.
Obama told the people that he would use government to cure their problems
Hitler did too.
Obama has told people that the government will provide for them.
Hitler did too.
Obama has used a logo that appears everywhere.
Hitler had one too.
Hitler rounded up all his political enemies using his military.
Obama uses lawyers and congress
Hitler nationalized businesses
tick tock tick tock
Hitler’s religion was one of self, and hatred of others.
Jeremiah Wright
People love Obama and believe that he is the answer to their problems, which is history repeating itself.
But Hitler didn’t need a teleprompter.
“Where the heck is our Churchill??????????”
Zero returned him to England (tongue in cheek)
Leonhardt doesn’t know s*** about history. People with a shallow understanding of history fall for the myth of the “super-efficient” Nazi regime. In truth, the Nazis conquered Europe only because their army had a very efficient way of fighting, and was fortunate to face far less ably led opponents one at a time. Once faced with an enormous coalition, they were crushed.
Economically, Nazi Germany was a total disaster. In fact, the only real description that fits the German economy for most of Hitler’s rule is “chaotic.” Just as Hitler’s regime was. It was NOT a sustainable economic model and needed a war to keep it from collapsing. It was not until Speer promoted economic decision making at the factory and enterprise level that Germany began making substantial increases in military production. That was 1944 and by then the war was already lost.
Fascism, as state control of nominally private enterprise in the name of “efficiency” is anything but that. In fact, it is always chaotic and unproductive.
And Leonhardt does have one thing right; 0bama’s economic policies do mirror Hilter’s.
ROFL. These people are utter dolts.
