"By that definition, the citizens of Nazi Germany were free."

Who told you that rubbish?

Citizens in NAZI Germany were *mandated* to work certain hours on certain days. Those citizens were ordered to perform certain jobs. Those citizens were FORBIDDEN from possessing firearms. Those citizens were FORBIDDEN from buying and selling or otherwise trading with Jews. Jewish citizens in Germany were imprisoned and executed.

You've got a lot of nerve, kid. No brains, but a lot of nerve to make the comparsion that you made above.

And that is exactly my point. While all of this was going on, your average German-on-the-street would have insisted that that Germany was a free country--and to complain that the laws deprived you of liberty was to advocate anarchy:

So long as you follow our society's rules, you are free to go anywhere and do anything.

These ideologues are blind to distinctions.

Nazi=America=commie=GOP=RAT.

This is always the way they argue.
