The Nazis were LEFTIST SOCIALISTS, Nancy, you twit. Perhaps if you spent more time reading history instead of rewriting it, you would know that.

I have read extensively about Hitler and the NSDAP. Both the Left and the Right love to claim Hitler as a member of the other side, for obvious reasons. The fact is, when Hitler was sent by German Army intelligence, for whom he was working, to infiltrate and spy on the DAP (German Workers Party, as it was called then) it was a tiny group with less than 60 members. Hitler built it up, and took full control on the strength of his oratorical skill and his "my way or the highway" attitude. Hitler was focused on the "National" aspect: the German Race had been betrayed by Jews and Socialists, who must be eliminated so Germans could be a pure, Master Race and fulfill their racial destiny by expanding their reach into a great empire.

Which is why it's best to avoid using the nazi symbolism in the first place.

Like the Invesco Field/Nuremburg Rally convention 'set'?

How about those Stalinist/Marxist redux posters?

I know that the Nazis are (with the possible exception of the USSR and Mao's little 'Glorious Revolution') unparallelled, but give the Obots time--eugenics and forced euthenasia are just around the corner with their 'Healthcare' Plan.

They'll sell that the same way the Nazis did--on costs.

Then the 'two minute hate' will villify the old and 'useless eaters',

Why would they call it "end of life counseling" otherwise?

If I want "end of life counseling" I'll call on a clergyman, thanks, not the stinking government.

Some things really are beyond their pay grade.

Obama and some of the Democrats are low-life. But they are not even close to being what the nazis were.

The Nazis were 'just low-life' until they got power. Then they really hit their stride.

Either we do all we can to make this lot stumble--at every turn--or they will rival or exceed the Nazis. Do NOT underestimate the raw hatred many of the people in that administration harbor for a very large segment of the US population, their desire for 'paybacks' for any injury, real or imagined, and their sheer contempt for the US Constitution.

Just imagine what Adolf's crowd could have done with computers (their record keeping was little short of amazing as it was), GPS, thermal imaging, etc., that the US currently has.

You run around with a swastika you give a Pelosi an opportunity to paint you as a nazi regardless of what your intent was.

Granted. We must be careful to use their symbolism (the Obamites', not the swastika, in such a way that it creates the impression without the symbol. Let people see the connection, but do not give the opposition any freebies with which to attack us out of context.

Is it ironic (or was it planned) that the term has been watered down by the years of calling the Republicans nazis and the Bushitler canard?

The buddist and Navajo swastikas are opposite hand from the Nazi one. You’d have to flip the image so the arms point clockwise to have the Nazi version.

The people displaying swastikas, if there are any, are most likely ACORN “provocateurs.”

They are making absolute a$$es out of themselves over this! It is unbelievable. They truly can not stand up to any critique at all. They scream bloody murder at the slightest request for clarification or detail concerning their wondrous plans for us all.

Just keep asking if they intend to use the program themselves. Ask it over and over loud and clear. The politburo will expose itself.

So a few people recognize the nazi like intimidation tactics of this administration (turn in your fellow citizen) and she infers that “they” are the nazi supporters?

Classic Leftist tactic of accusing your opponents of what you, yourself, are doing. It puts your opponents on the defensive and gives you a tactical advantage.

Pleased you did.

Hell, I've been on lists since the Clinton Plague- the SOB's can go have sexual congress with themselves.

They can try to make America into a banana boat tinpot dictatorship, but some of us are not going quietly.

I thought of something else about the “carrying of swastikas”.

It could be a protest sign, equating the 0bama admin and his healthcare plan with fascism.

I’ve also seen the “Joker” image with a swastika on his forehead.

Could be true. I have seen it posted, but, unlike the “Socialism” or “Why so Socialist?” joker pictures, I have not made a copy.
We must not do that or allow other conservatives to do that. Remember, no matter how appropriate it might be, if you call the other guy a Nazi or equate him to Hitler, you automatically lose the debate.

Be loud, be proud, be Conservative.

...obama is not being able to do all this because he forced his way into office or somehow managed to seize control

His original senate seat was won because of tactics which forced his opponents out of the race, on both sides. Alan Keyes ran against him at the last minute, just so he would not run unopposed.

As for the firing of Auto maker CEOs, takeover of car companies, banks, etc., I;m not so sure the American People, even the Dems voted for that. In fact, I am not sure what they think they voted for, aside from some vacuous "Hope and Change". I think the suspension of disbelief is ending, and people who have the courage to admit they made a mistake are realizing if they voted for Obama that they had no idea...

Of course, there is a large contingent who will never see the extra-Constitutional behaviour of the current administration as a bad thing, who embrace the 'change'. There are those who think they are going to get something, whether that be wealth, status, 'paybacks', pie, whatever, and they will not realize the damage being done until after the fact.

They’ll elect the next socialist and the next one and the next one. Republicans will become ever more socialist in nature and our platform will be simply ‘we’re not as far left as the other guys’. Actually, it already is.

Well, any time the Conservatives have decried leftist Republican candidates and even threatened to vote third party, they are met with a hail of " a vote for so-and-so is a vote for the Liberals (Democrats)". Or the "wasted vote" canard.

SOme even claim that Obama was elected by people who did not vote for McCain (nor Obama) or stayed home.

What a choice: Ice cream that is full of dog poop, or the 'lite' version with 50% less poop. Only Sarah Palin made the Republican ticket one I could vote for.

That is how we got here, even the Republicans have been running on the promise, not of freedom, but of a lesser nany state.

A slow moving Hell bound train is going to the same destination as the Hell bound Express, just moving more slowly.

So the voters have been conditioned to/bullied into/given little to no choice but voting for a Socialist, whether that be hardcore or Socialist 'lite'.

The change has come upon us slowly, with every increment small, so that the inexorable march toward the current mess has been more of a slow-motion shuffle. Now, apparently, the Dems think the time is right to consolidate their plans and push the agenda. Even given power today to reverse the 'progress', it would take years to do, and the effects of the policies implemented in the last six months would be blamed on whomever is in office, not the people who enacted the legislation, made the decrees, and usurped the power to make the mess in the first place--and the media would be complicit in blaming any Conservative for the ills of their predecessor, just as the media gave Clinton credit for the effects of economic policies under Republican administrations and blamed 'W' for the effects of Clinton policies on the economy.

When all the rhetoric was flying, I managed to confront a few people with "just what do you think needs changing?". It was interesting to note that none had a solid answer.

With that revelation, it was easy to see they'd been suckered.

Some people never learn. I just pray the Average American can realize they've been grifted, and learn from that mistake.

Swastikas? We're just exercising our right to freely and publicly practice Buddhism ...

I believe that "Swastikas" (the twisted cross) are of feature of Navajo weaving and have been for centuries.

http://www.luckymojo.com/swastika.html

"The Swastika" is the oldest cross and emblem in the world. It forms a combination of four "L's" standing for Luck, Light, Love and Life. It has been found in ancient Rome, excavations in Grecian cities, on Buddhist idols, on Chinese coins dated 315 B.C., and our own Southwest Indians use it as an amulet.
