1) The people were begging the government to come down and support their ideas as laws.
No, leftist came to power in government and made their own twisted ideas into laws. This is exactly what the left is currently trying to do with the homosexual agenda.
2) The Nazi’s specifically labeled gays, jews, etc as diseases and that is the responsibility of the government to defend against those diseases.
Actually, they labeled them as subhumans (truth be told, the belief that homosexuality was a mental illness was pretty much universal until the 1970s) and then targeted them. Today, the left is labeling Christians as "homophobes" and targeting us.
The only difference between Hitler's fascism and Obama's fascism is the groups they hate.
Selecting a group we don’t agree with and making them criminals? You could make the case against ISLAM because they state they want to kill us.
Who is suggesting that homosexuality be a crime?
Categorizing any human as a disease is sickening.
Sure, but what is wrong with pointing out that humans do have diseases?
This is about MARRIAGE and the fact is that homosexuals have exactly the same rights when it comes to marriage as everyone else and they always have.
xzins...stated homosexuality was illegal for many years and since homosexuals have diseases related to their life-style then it becomes a matter of federal government to protect the rest of us from their diseases.
The only tool the federal government has to protect people from something is by making it illegal.
I think it is twisted to think the federal government should protect us from a disease caused by a life-style choice.
To me it is down the road of fascism and just like you said we know have people in power that view conservatives the same way...a disease and the federal government should make being conservative illegal (recent comments exposed on MSNBC).
And the only thing I stated in the beginning was why is the federal government involved in marriage anyway? That one question turned into the hate-filled rhetoric against gay people.
Also after Weimar is when the people in Germany were begging for the government to come top down on the issues. It always happens that way.
And quite frankly that is why people should be really pissed with Bush W...he set the stage for our mini-weimar which lead to the current marxist in chief.
