My father, James Martin McGrew, was shot down over France during the second world war, fought with the French underground, and was captured, abused, and starved by the Nazi SS. He was later sent to Stalag Luft 1, a prisoner of war camp in Barth Germany. My father always drew a distinction between the Nazis and the post war people, population, and culture of Germany.

He hated the Nazi's, and in subsequent years while writing training films for the LAPD he shook with fear when he came across a Neo-Nazi demonstration because he wanted to attack these protesters. Thankfully, he restrained himself. My dad would have a tough time restraining himself today were he alive to read what Gray Davis and Democrats have engineered against Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Were my father alive today he would be absolutely furious. I mean FURIOUS. He would be upset, not at what Arnold Schwarzenegger said about Hitler, but at Gray Davis and the Democrats for twisting Arnold's comment about Hitler's public speaking ability into a rallying cry that Arnold somehow "admired" Hitler's villainous actions and crimes. My father taught me that these were the exact methods Hitler used to incite the masses to follow cruel men.

It appears to me that the methods and comments of Gray Davis and Democrats mirror Hitler more than any of the statements of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Rest easy dad. I will carry on. "Never Again."

I was discussing this point this morning with a friend. I sure if someone did some research on Hitlers mannerisms, how he spoke, what he spoke about and how he applied propoganda and tactics he could be matched up perfectly to one of these sleazy socialist liberals now in office.

We have not seen much yet, wait till the 2004 election particularly, if davis is ousted and the democrats lose in California. The democrat left will see the USA burn first, rather than see GWB get re-elected for the 2nd term. The DEMONRAT party got it's name for a very good reason.
