Point taken.

But consider this:

Godwin's law is premised on the fact that in any continued on line discussion, eventually a comparison to Hitler or Nazi's will be made. Bonhoeffer's name is in the headline of this thread, thus I would say that Godwin's law is not applicable here, as the discussion started on the basis of a mention and did not devolve into the applicability of the law.

We should NOT reconcile with Democrat operatives.

Yes, Trump IS President of all Americans but he's NOT going to play the fool for democrat operatives. Those folks have hurt us at every step and we don't need them, want them, or will cater to them...

The initial mention triggers the law. Can’t evade Godwin’s Law by starting off with an accusation of Nazism, implied or explicit; the reference in the initial statement fulfills the conditions of the law.

They went Godwin 8 words into the headline, and once you’re there, you’re there.

I disagree. I believe the law is implemented when a commentator makes the comparison, not if the original point of the discussion is a mention of Nazi/Hitler. However, in this case I can see what you are referring to, as the point of the article is not Bonhoeffer himself.

To the point, Democrats absolutely refused to reconcile with Lincoln.

Well, he’s right. There’s no reconciling with Democrat Marxists, as far as I’m concerned. We’ll either convince the rest of America in the next few years that they were headed in the wrong direction or we’ll have CW II.

Exactly the way I see it. The enormous challenge which must be confronted is the task of bringing the millions of Marxist-indoctrinated Americans to the realization that they have succumbed to an ideology that has directly resulted in the impoverishment and slaughter of tens of millions of innocent people by Communist and Muslim dictators.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER compromise with the enemy until AFTER they have been utterly vanquished. NEVER!!! These pigs in the Democrat Party are perfectly symbolized by The Snake in Al Wilson’s song of that name.

It is much easier to prevent indoctrination that attempt to convert a true believer of the Progressive-Marxist religion.

One of the very first places to start is completely reworking how education is schooling and how it is delivered. Entirely new systems must be developed for educating our nation's youth. The government schools and their Prussian-style system of schooling must be shut down!

Nearly every teacher in this nation was trained by godless Marxists in Marxist-run colleges and universities. This is true for both private and government schools from Pre-K to the highest levels of university graduate school. SCARY!

Yes, it is true that not every teacher, principal, or superintendent in this nation is a liberal but a teacher's own indoctrination from early youth onward and their Marxist training in college will leak through into the classroom and into school policies.

If democrats and the ‘GOP never-trumpers’ want to work WITH Trump - that’s fine. But he should NEVER ‘reach out’ to them - they would bite his arm off.
