The comparisons between Hitler and Obama, while offensive to many, were inevitable.


sorry but this is really going too far.
I mean really compare Obama to Hitler?
Notice me when the US starts to round up people and put
them into death camps for industrialized extermination then of course i will take back my point of view.
But untill then... i mean come on.

You are confusing method with intent. The article is making the point that the method and its underlying philosophy are the same as those in Germany in the 1930s. Whether the result could be the same has two variables: intent of those empowered (in this case Obama and minions), and the unknown of American society's willingness to let it happen (with other resources for information).

Bottom line: the underlying philosophy and methods are remarkably similar...

Hayek, in Road to Serfdom, described people like you exactly.

You refuse to see the end result of what we are seeing now, because the atrocities are so egregious compared to what our society is [currently] capable of.

Tell me, did Hitler start “rounding people up” when he first attained power, put through his stimulus bill, implemented nationalized health care, used racial tension to secure his power, and implemented a radical environmentalist agenda?

When people start getting rounded up for the camps - it’s too late to “notice you”.
