I often wondered what it must have been like to live in Germany in the 1930s during the ascent of the political savior Adolf Hitler. I pondered the dire economic situation, the crushed national pride, and the desperate longing for restoration to greatness that had permeated the nation’s psyche and paved the way for its enthusiastic embrace of a messiah. How wonderful must it have been to see one’s cherished homeland redeemed and restored to prominence all through the iron will and masterful execution of one great man!

What? Do you agree with him? Do you really think that it would have been wonderful to live under Hitler as you said here....I read it. I thought it was good. I don't know why the 24/7 freepers are always so quick to jump on a new member posting so they can get their jollies off by posting pictures of cats all the time.

Do we have a twofer?

If you read the whole thing, you would know that it was all about worship in the cult of personality of a man as a leader. Worship of idols, and yes, even men as idols is great folly. That was the point of his post. It's all very clear if you just read it.

So yes. Yes I agree with him that worshiping leaders like that, including an Obama who promises hope and change is very dangerous and will lead to ruin.
