So, perhaps it was no surprise that the Scholls helped organize a group known as The White Rose, comprised mainly of students at the University of Munich. These young people saw Hitler and the Nazis as pure, unadulterated evil — as a threat to all that is good and true.

They were convinced that most Germans felt the same way. But they knew most were too afraid to speak up, to stand up, to resist the evil in front of them. After all, the price would almost assuredly be death, and life is mighty dear.

Where is today's USA equivalent of the White Rose in our universities? In the halls of Congress? In the media? Seems like only the internet and talk radio come close.

Precisely, the top two on the government list There Ought to be a Law.

Kudos to them for their bravery. But from what I've read, I'd say that rather than most, the numbers probably were closer to 50-50.

In any case, there was no chance that a popular uprising could succeed, even if such a movement had been supported by 80% of the people. The methods used by the SS and the Gestapo to suppress dissent were simply too brutal, too ruthless and too effective.

The Tea Party IS White Rose. That is why the Klown hates it so much!
