When the rich get marched into ovens and gassed to death he will have nailed it. To think he has nailed it today is beyond stupid and perverted.
You and him have lost all sense of proportion in order to make a point.
I am against this idiocy of trying to overtax the rich, but comparing this to extermination is a bit on the crazy side and is personally reprehensible to me.
After all, you seem to be fine with every incremental step our National Socialist Idlers Party takes in the very steps of the German National Socialist Workers Party.
And you seem to resent any comparisons or warning coming from anyone who is reading a few pages ahead...

Kristallnacht occurred before Kristallnacht was the harbinger of what followed. Your grasp of history is tenuous.

the ovens and the gas chambers.
Consider the limits on health care for those over 65.
Also read up on the death panels in Obamacare.
Otherwise, STFU.

Sounds like you’re only looking at Act 1.
You’re comparing Act 1 of the current USA Marxist takeover to Act 3 of the German NAZI takeover, then telling us they don’t compare.
Educated people recognize that Marxist/Communist or National Socialist (totalitarian) regimes don’t happen overnight. They are a progression.
Sometimes the progression is rapid (mideast), and other times the progression takes longer (USA), but Act 1 is rhetoric and Act 3 is mass murder.
If your crystal ball tells you we’ll never see Act 2 or Act 3 in the USA, good for you. But the rest of us don’t have crystal balls and didn’t study at the Hogwarts School of Magic.
If we get ‘this’ wrong, this time, there’s nowhere left to run to.
The author, Tom Perkins, is not “Comparing” overtaxing the rich to Gas chambers.
It’s his simple observation that the conditions that led to the gas chambers, the mind set of a certain portion of our media and society are very similar as they are currently being expressed.
Also, extermination sounds crazy TO YOU.
But to Obama, who started his career in the living room of the ‘Weatherman’ named Bill Ayers, extermination is AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE PLAN.
The FBI informant’s statement is on video. Search online and watch it. I think his name was Grathwol.
He recounts sitting with the Ayers terrorists. When they weren’t building or planting bombs, they were discussing their estimate of how many Americans they’d need to EXTERMINATE in order for their Communist utopia to come about.
They verbally estimated ‘about 25 MILLION people’ would absolutely refuse to cooperate with Communism, and thus would need to be exterminated.
Just because YOU’RE not crazy, doesn’t mean the Marxist fanatic isn’t crazy.
You seem to miss somethinmg here.
This administration and the democrats (along with many willing republicans) has been following almost the exact same steps as Hitler and the NAZI party did when he first got elected, but before he gained complete control.
Believe when I say that we are one Kristallnacht away from the MSM, The entertainment industry, the education system and of course the democrat party calling for the end to elections an an elevation of Obama to supreme ruler.
If you cannot see it, then you want to be blind.
I’m sorry, Sakic, but I think you’re wrong on this one (and I’ve been reading you for a long time). I don’t think the parallels drawn by the WSJ letter-writer are hyperbole, I think they should be a genuine concern. Today’s gas chambers look more like the Doctor Offices that will become harder to find, and the Doctors we do find will be denying treatment.
Just because they don’t look like large communal showers this time doesn’t mean people are not going to start dying for their beliefs.
Also.... Don’t for the NSA, IRS, OSHA, EPA, AFT, Homeland Security, Secret Service
These agencies have enormous power to destroy wealth and ( worse) and the means to fabricate lies and destroy reputations.
Who needs concentration camps and ovens to control the masses with that kind of power to destroy?
I don’t think there will be ovens. The Kulaks will just be starved to death.
>>>When the rich get marched into ovens and gassed to death he will have nailed it. To think he has nailed it today is beyond stupid and perverted.<<<
The difference is culture. The writer is pointing out the thematic similarities between propaganda against the Jews and propaganda against the so-called 1 percent. (I’d also point out that there’s many thematic similarities between statements made by anti-Semites and statements made by those accusing whites having “privilege.”)
Sure, the rich aren’t going to go placidly into the ovens like the Jews, but we’re not Europeans. I could easily see mobs being whipped up into a frenzy, however, and overwhelming the rich in their mansions and gated communities in a frenzy of looting, murder, rape, and mayhem. That would be far more in the American tradition.
It’s also a recurring theme among the left to create an “enemy within” on which to focus hate. The Soviets had the kulaks; the Chinese had the “running dogs” of capitalism; the national socialists had the Jews. It is not surprising for the American left to create such a group, and since we’re Americans, they’re careful to make sure it isn’t racially or ethnically insensitive, so it’s just “the 1 percent.”
You’re right, though. It’s not extermination. Not yet.
The purges under Stalin and Mao killed far more people each than that scum Hitler. The death processes of ovens, gas chambers and other forms of assassination not withstanding.
It is understandable if your situation makes you hate the hitler mentality more than the murderous rage of say the communists. I would feel the same had it affected my background.
I think you are underestimating the corrosive effect this relentless attitude against the rich has on the lower class’s behavior. It is the same regarding narcissistic liberals’ attitudes toward conservative and Christian ideas.
When Gov. Cuomo can say without a big blow back (except for Fox News and the RC church) that pro-lifers, pro-second amendment, and “anti-Gay” - i.e. pro-traditional marriage folks are not welcome in NY state, it seems to me that we are close to a tipping point. In fact, it may be a legitimate reason to begin a case for secession from the USA. Now, I am not actually advocating secession, but it does pose the question - when segments of our population are not respected equally because of their political beliefs, what is the alternative? Think of Jefferson’s first sentences in the Declaration of Independence! When in the course of human events......., etc.
Liberals who insist on bullying tactics will eventually get a strong reaction. For the first time in my lifetime, public opinion polls are blaming big government for many of our problems and seeing it as a cause of bad outcomes and a danger to our wellbeing. Now, if we could transform their fear of big government into a fear of big-government politicians, i.e. Democrats, it might prove worthwhile.
Looks like you need to take a minute and study history. You will find that Kristallnacht is different event than the gas chambers.
RE: “[This] is personally reprehensible to me.”
Only if you’re not rich.
It sounds exactly like what happened to the rich in Lenin’s Soviet Union and Mao’s China.
The extermination comparison is very appropriate since Leftists have already supported and carried out the killing of those they do not approve of for over 40 years.
There is not a leftist in existence that doesn’t want to see conservatives and anyone that opposes them
punished and exterminated by the State.
I defy anyone to contradict that.
