Apples and Oranges. Germany has never had what Americans take for granted. Freedom: Freedom to speak, carry arms, etc.

You also missed my point. I said if they ever tried it, that they would never live to talk about it. That is not saying that it will never happen. But even I as a non betting man, see the odds of something like Germany happening over here as ridiculously small. American kids have been subject to 'reeducation' for almost a 100 years (it's progressives) but it would appear that it is coming to an end. Think on this. Zero might want to stop Home-Schooling, but what do you think would happen if he issued an Executive Order prohibiting it? I doubt if a single child would show up at a public school the next day. This is the Real America and why I came here: defiance. Freedom will not be lost until this defiant attitude is lost. It won't happen. It just won't. Look at Sarah Palin as an example. "They" have tried to destroy her, ridicule and embarrass her, yet she is now adored and loved like never before. America likes the "underdog" Which explains why zero became resident in the first place. But zero is now seen as a naked emperor and is mocked like no other President. As for your final argument: ------------- I don’t buy it. It takes ONE COMPLACENT GENERATION to kill America - just as it took six years to kill the soul of Germany. ------------ This is what the progessives thought. It is what zero ran his whole campaign on. It didn't work, in fact it totally BACKFIRED. I really believe that the progressive era will die a very slow and painful death.

I hope you’re right. And you probably are.

I guess what I’m reacting to is the thought that if a person shows that defiance by not toeing the “mainstream” line they will be history. It’s a form of self-censorship.

I have no idea whether Medina is a good candidate or not. But I don’t think it should mean political death to a person just because they acknowledge that the mainstream narrative isn’t 100% unimpeachable. I think it should be a given that the mainstream narrative isn’t 100% impeachable.

Until somebody knows what another person is basing their statements on, we don’t know whether they’re stupid, or just seeing clearly above the political or media fog.

The smartest people in the world know that they don’t know everything. They’re also a bit slower to throw rocks at others who don’t know everything.
