Andy Barr of Politico today writes a column blasting a Thomas Sowell article that criticizes how Adolph Hitler came to power through a combination of public apathy, ignorance, and systematic Socialization and Nationalization.
Sowell warns Americans not to ever become like the "useful idiots" who helped Stalin create the Soviet Union, or like the German Public who saw their freedoms taken away piecemeal by a creeping, growing central government.

I like your title better than his.
Yours is more accurate.
Ping.
LOL
Good job.
I wish I’d thought of that headline. It’s brilliant. Congratulations.
Good post and thanks for the ping!
How about just not posting, linking or mentioning anything from politico thereby denying them the precious hits which are the mother’s milk of the internet?
I think Sowell hit the jugular, and stripped the Left naked. It's too bad this didn't come from the RNC, or from a Republican, because Republicans need to say this too.
Nice.
By the way, to date Andy Barr has never denied being a child molester.
Excellent. A far more accurate headline than that effin idiot’s.
I remember one idiot (probably not even useful) a few years ago was “explaining” how Bush (grandpa) brought Hitler to power. Bush did it. Gave him money and voila. Intimidation, propaganda racial superiority and robbed prosperity, a wish for a strong “leader” and gullible Germans had nothing to do with that.
Nice post!
Reverse Godwin’s Law being applied to attack Sarah Palin, over a completely spot-on column by Thomas Sowell. Good grief. The Politico writer is auditioning for Most Useful Idiot.
“a government of laws and not of men.”
BUMP!
Barr simply epitomizes the essence of the dangerousness of “useful idiot” Liberals like himself.
They think, in error, it’s all about THEIR good intentions, their “benevolent” intentions, and not the massive government control, and denial of Liberty, to which the Marxists and their Fascist cousins use the “good intentions” of the useful idiots as simply a tool, a means to THEIR accumulation of power.
When they are done, and the pretense of their alliance with the useful idiots is no longer needed, the resulting government apparatus becomes no longer afraid to admit their totalitarian intentions.
Even in this last few decades, we have current examples, as has occurred in Venezuela and as is still being attempted in Nicaragua; and as Obama is attempting here. That Marxist agenda is also contained in the thousands of paragraphs of fine print in the multi-thousand page bills the Dims have been passing since Obama took office.
Good job. Very funny, and right on the mark.
“To forget the lessons of history is to repeat them”...Me
