He's baaack!

This week in a bold move the President broke a barrier that his supporters should be quite concerned about. For in doing so he has broken a barrier that should always be seen as sacred. However, this will likely be marginalized by the leftist media that offers it’s blind support regardless of any mastery of facts.
Case and point... Rachel Maddow.
She is MSNBC's less funny and perhaps more butch version of Keith Olbermann. And on this past Friday night she did an entire "bit" on anyone who would compare Obama's policies to socialism as "not very serious people." Of course people seeing the “bit” were a good deal uncertain of Maddow as she herself kept interchanging the terms socialist and communist. But liberals often are confused by facts and frequently either do not understand what they are discussing, or discuss it purposefully with deception. Whatever the case Maddow thought herself witty.
We're supposed to believe her because... ...well... ...she said it. It does not matter to Maddow if President Obama’s policies are in substance moving us towards centralized control where the Government becomes the caretaker/nanny and the individual is lulled into mind-numbing moronic infancy suckling off the government's “all-sufficient” teet.
But if she got that worked up over a few people calling Obama’s socialist policies by name, imagine what she will say about the title of this column?
And yet simply because Maddow, and others who defend their loyalty to Obama in irrational ways, still contend that he produces nothing but rainbows, ponies, and butterflies, doesn't mean we shouldn't compare what Obama is doing with others in history who have already tried those policies.
Which brings us to this point: This week President Obama exercised for the first time a policy decision that shares a trait held in common with Adolf Hitler.
The headline was leaked late in the Friday afternoon news cycle so that as few people as possible would pay attention, but here's the crux of a very real problem: President Obama is moving policy on public health into the direction of doctors being forced to act against their conscience. (For liberals educated in public schools, a conscience is that little voice inside you that used to inform you as to what was right or wrong.)
President Obama wants them performing abortions, whether they believe it to be an immoral thing or not. And while the comparisons to Hitler are made either on eugenist or racist grounds--but you cannot escape the impact.
In the 1930's and 40's as Hitler wished to use his captive “lesser-humans” for "experiments" in his final solution. He too forced doctors to do things they did not wish to do. Everything from injecting living humans with horrible chemicals to see the effect, to trying differing grades of poisonous gases in what eventually became death chambers. These doctors, who were purveyors of those things that helped save lives, were suddenly forced to use the medical knowledge they had of death--to end them.
In today’s scenario Obama wants doctors to exterminate “lesser humans” for the purpose of immediate solutions to his social experiment. And he wishes them to do so regardless of whether or not they are compelled by the higher call of morality on an individual basis.
Put another way Obama's policy shift would be the equivalent of forcing those who believed slavery to be immoral and never even owned slaves, to begin purchasing them, beating them, raping them, and exploiting them.
This policy shift that Obama has attempted to slide under the radar screen is grossly immoral, and doctors should disobey it and run a medical mutiny against the administration if it becomes law.
The President did this, as he has done most things since coming to power as a pure, pragmatic, political move to pay off the campaign favors of those special interest groups he railed against during his campaign. In this case the abortion industry which is increasingly under attack from the next generation who understand the taking of innocent life to be horrific.
As to all the comparisons that the left made in 8 years of the previous administration, they never once had such a clear comparison that so vividly laid out the exact parallel between the dictator who thought it moral to gas people in chambers, and now a President who believes that live babies should be left to starve in soiled utility closets of hospitals, even if it violates the voice of God telling the doctor to do otherwise.
This stroke of the policy pen, moves the administration into its first conflict with the first amendment right of religious belief and expression, and he should be penalized for it quickly.
Friday, Ms. Maddow, President Obama took a demonstrable step in the shoes, actions, and example of Adolf Hitler.
What have you to say about that?
Rachel would rather talk about Eva Braun. :P
The libs are treading on us.
They’re treading on us and really, really, pissing me off.
Well and truly written!
You are not alone in that sentiment my friend.
All they have to do is simply issue an ultimatum that at such and such a time and date next month, they will collectively stop practicing medicine until the tyranny and theft of their way of life ceases.
Without the constant care of medical doctors and the avalanche of written pharmaceutical prescriptions, millions of Americans' lives are at immediate risk. The various state legislatures and congress would be under immediate assault of angry mobs demanding the needed reforms.
There would be such furious pressure by the American people, the laws would have to be immediately changed.
Let the lawyers and the politicians man the hospital emergency rooms abandoned by physicians.
Only thing missing is the flags in left photo.
Hitler could do that, too. He was the rock star of his generation. And -- joking aside -- Hitler could recite his speeches by writing a few words on a piece of paper and expounding from that (a gift he shared with Nikolai Lenin). If the Messiah was without his teleprompter, he would be tongue tied.
B. Hussein Obama is the Communist Milli Vanilli in addition to the Hitler parallels.

Madcow would rather date Eva than Adolf.
Holy Moly!
The 2nd storm trooper from the right (bottom) looks just like John Kerry.
This point reminded me that the Democrat Party has always been the party of slavery. Today, however, they want to enslave the rich (which is of course anyone with a job, by their twisted logic). Their slavery is slavery by proxy. They get the Federal and State governments to force taxpayers to do their bidding, providing funding for programs that those taxpayers would never fund ordinarily.
No one can be forced to do anything they do not want to. Quit or let them kill you. Better than to face your maker with the excuse; "they made me do it."
The issue of doctor’s conscience moves our abortion policy to a whole new level of evil. It is one thing to say that the issue of whether abortion is right or wrong is ‘above our pay grade’, and implement a policy of ‘choice’, where women and willing doctors can opt to participate without public interference. It is a worse thing to use the coffers of the nation to subsidize abortion, as happened under Carter, Clinton and now Obama. It takes things to a whole new level of evil now that the Federal government is apparently going to force doctors to perform abortion against their conscience. This needs to be a big deal.
On a secondary note, this Townhall piece is one of the most annoyingly poorly written pieces I’ve read in an awful long time. The writer starts out with a meandering rant about Hitler and Rachel Maddow, and doesn’t even mention the abortion issue until the 9th paragraph. Even then, he never really explains the details of the Obama administration policy anywhere in the article.
Obama is a standard-issue communist. It appears that no one under the age of 45 has studied communism in school.
Obama is not a Hitler - not even close. He's a Marxist who obviously believes in dialectical materialism, heightening the contradictions, the iron laws of history, and all that other Leninist crap.
His policies (or tendencies, they really don't make the grade as fully-formed policies) can best be understood in terms of the Leninist maxim, "the worse, the better".
He's indifferent to the outcomes of the things he does, because all of them (in the communist mentality) just hasten the Revolution.
Leave Hitler out of it.
