>>>> Democrats are Nazis. Hitler is completely opposite of Reagan and Rush.

I understand how you have come to the point where you feel this way. It is wrong not to correctly identify the dangers many Democrats are exposing to our republic. But we also risk being mislabeled when we bring up the "Nazi" word. For those of us who have been on the Internet since before it was open to the general public, we're very familiar with the tendency for all arguments to converge on the mutual accusations of Nazism. It's called http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law and it's surprising how often it holds true. However, I know good Democrats (although I still disagree with some of their ideas). I would rather try to win them over without calling them names. Godwin's law is why I refuse to call Democrats Nazis. It only makes it easier for them to accuse me of running out of logical arguments to their points of view, and that will just not happen!

But the gun grabbers are especially appropriate to identify as totalitarian enablers or outright proponents of totalitarianism. Those who wish to take our human right to self defense and our right to defend our Constitution as private citizens are either misled or are intentionally misleading other Americans. I am willing to grant them incompetence and cowardliness, but there is little way we can discern between those who want to make the world safe for the children and those who want to lay the groundwork for the downfall of our republic. In either case, the only safety for all of our future children is in a totally free republic protected by citizens and the military alike from enemies foriegn and domestic. Our republic will fall shortly after guns are successfully banned.

Yes, the Nazi label is problematic. Sometimes vile and chilling names come to our lips when the danger to the Republic from the left is otherwise indescribable.

Interesting link on Godwin's Law!

I've been called a Nazi on other forums. And I don't remember how many times "McCarthyism" or "Stockholm Syndrome" has come up in thread discussions.

I don't call Demos "Nazis", although it sure is tempting sometimes $;-). They do exhibit fascist tendencies quite often, something that seems to be increasing as time goes on, but I prefer the term "Marxists", or "Stalinists".

They are all much more like than unlike...
