President Bush always rose above it. This guy is a classless POS.
“What is amazing about Obama is that he doesn’t even pretend to represent the country as a whole.”
What is amazing to me is the sheer numbers that share his view of the US and supports Obama and his agenda. Even after he’s out of office, the zombies will live to drain the life out of this country. Hell, I barely recognize this just two years after Obama’s election. No wonder so many expats are renouncing their citizenship. This isn’t the ‘United’ States anymore. The ‘Progressives’ have worked hard to do this.

You'll remember that shortly after Hitler became Chancellor, he started rounding up those who opposed him and put them in concentration camps. As he did, many Jews fled to other countries.
What do you think is the best country for us conservatives to flee to if push comes to shove?
Hitler was appointed Chancellor 1933. ‘Kristallnacht’ (1938) was the beginning of the Jewish persecution and subsequent roundup. 5 years! Prior to that event, the Nazi regime and the Jewish community had an understanding. Whenever the regime published negative stories about the Jews for public consumption (said to lift the spirits of the Fatherland) they apologized to the Jewish community and assured them it meant nothing. (C-Span recently had a program of reading the letters between the Nazi regime and the Jewish leaders at the time. In hindsight, they gave me chills as to how they were deceiving the Jewish people and how they were being set up. It was a masterful, sickening,pure evil manipulation.)
The Nazis still made efforts to garner the trust of the Jews (and of course the other 3M detainees) to the point that they peacefully boarded the boxcars, most believing it was for their own safety.
Never again!
I can't remember the names, but many of those being harassed fled the country ASAP (some without even going to the bank to get money).
1933 On January 30, in an attempt to use Hitler and his party against the Communists, the German president appoints Hitler to be Chancellor (prime minister) of Germany. A week before elections, a mysterious fire destroys the parliament building; the Nazis blame the Communists, win 44% of the vote, and come to power by the will of the people. An act of law is immediately passed, giving Hitler the powers of a dictator for 4 years. The secret police force Geheime Staatspolizei, 'Gestapo', is formed. It is given full powers to spy, arrest, interrogate and imprison. Jewish businesses are boycotted for one day. Books written by Jews are publicly burned as 'degenerate'. A series of anti-Jewish laws are passed: Jews are barred from all public service, including the civil service, the law, and teaching. Jewish doctors are banned from Berlin hospitals, and can find no other employment. Jews are also barred from sports organisations, and from being journalists on German newspapers. Individual Jews are attacked, and some are killed. The Nazi newspaper says 'Jews can never be anything but stateless aliens, they can never have any legal or constitutional status.' A concentration camp for imprisoning Nazi opponents is set up at Dachau.
I used to think I was a genius. Alas! I am only a smartazz.
True. That all happened.
The actons were explained by the Nazis to Jewish leaders as mistakes, isolated incidents or some overzealous bureaucrat until the Jews were ‘conditioned’ to trust so to speak.
Everyone was desperate due to the economic collapse so it became easy to convince people who was ‘worthy’ and who was not.
Some apparently knew who the Nazis were and rightfully never trusted their motives.
