I'm keeping my powder dry just in case.

I thought you might find this article interesting.

You read The Ominous Parallels, correct? Unfortunately, I still have mine in the queue sitting on my shelf.

[Otta B Sleepin]

This is chilling.

[SFmom]

Nuremberg was exactly what came to mind when I listened to the "memorial" service. It was absolutely frightening!

[MrConfettiMan]

I thought you guys might find this article interesting, too.

Maybe the DNC can hire Speers' son and put the coup de grace on their Goebbles like propaganda operation.

The GOP has nobody but itself to blame, their failure to effectively utilize propaganda like the DNC does is just as dangerous to the security of this nation as the jackass party.

Biggest difference here is the 2nd Amendment -- and we conservatives are mostly the ones who are armed.

"Everyone should have an assault rifle, 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and couple of automatic pistols and a really large caliber revolver or two" Bump!

[Batrachian]

Paranoia, but that doesn't mean it's untrue. With the news media, the supposed watchdogs of democracy, fully on the side of the liberals, and indeed acting as the mouthpiece for the Democrat party, anything really is possible.

So, if Wellstone is their Horst Wessel and Carville is their Goebbels, then who is their Adolph Hitler, eh?

[DeFault User]

Actions of the hyperactive Democrats at the Wellstone "Memorial" are enough to convict them of inhuman, insenstive offenses without critics using hyperbole of this sort. Comparing the rally to Nuremberg is serious enough, but potraying them as "kill you in the death camp" nazis only serves to paint conservatives as paranoid whackos.

I was originally going to say "Great Title!", and then, "this is going a bit too far", but though I still think the latter I also think about items such as our proto-"re-education camps" (aka mandated "sensitivity training," if you step over the line and say something officially disapproved) and the extensive changes in American society I've seen in my own lifetime...

A couple of examples. Two pages from a high-school yearbook of mine carry the following headings:
At Weekly Meetings the Christian Youth Club Practices Christian Ideals
and
The Hi-Y Club Helps Promote Christian Character
Imagine the howls those titles, much less the groups themselves, would bring today. (In terms of my age, it's still years before I expect to be a grandfather; this yearbook is not that old.)

For the past decade and a half since I first saw this quote, I've felt an affinity for what the speaker experienced in the (linked) quote from the book They Thought They Were Free.

As the speaker says of himself, he's seen it coming and yet... he denies it and remains silent, because the time is not right. Nobody is listening, nobody acts, there is never a time to act. And so things continue to get worse and we've not begun to plumb the depths of what could, or will, happen here.

"1984" is probably the best vision of our future. (My copy has gone walkabout, how does it end? "And he loved Big Brother."?)

Those fascist bastards did not try the Kristal Nacht routine because we are an armed nation. They would have died in wholesale lots.

Those poor Jew people who suffered under the club swinging window breakersw had no arms nor much will to use them. We all know how that worked out

[Beeline40@aol.com]

I know what you mean. The stage is set and we all have our parts to play. I believe we are at a serious cross roads in our country. I used to be the director of CAndlelighters (parents of children with cancer). Anyway there was this boy about 10 years old and a couple of months before he died, he started to wear this shirt with a picture of a dragon slaying a knight with the words "sometimes the dragon wins". After this display those words came flooding into my mind. I am afraid we have some very hard times ahead for us.

[Saundra Duffy]

Indeed, their hatred for us is the exact same virulent kind as that which reared up against the Jews in Nazi Germany long before the war.

Oh, my God! This piece is so interesting!

[sauropod]

The National Socialists also used altruism to bend the German population to its will.

Democrats do the same thing.

As in, 'for the Children."

[ladyinred]

I have been posting that I am finding these rats frightening and I mean it. This is pretty much how I feel. The hatred coming from the RAT party leaders is so venomous that I am afraid for the lives of some of the Pubbie leaders. The Clinton/Gore/Carter/Dashole/Gephardt bunch suggesting that Bush is not elected as President,That Ashcroft is a terrible Hitler who will take away their rights. That Pubbies are against old people and want to send Blacks back to the plantation and take away their right to vote. This kind of rhetoric is reckless and irresponsible behavior from what are supposed to grown up intelligent elected officials. This kind of lie is dangerous, and the young Wellstone boy in a frenzy of emotion screaming out in a wild voice, "We will win, we will win, we will win!" while waving his fist in the air to cheers was scary to me.

[HighWheeler]

This explains the chills I had listening to this grave dancing rally on Rush's show.

[John Lenin]

They are all Nazi's, the femi-nazi's, the enviro-nazi's, the animal rights nazi's, the gay nazi's, the anti-capitalist nazi's ? This article is closer to the truth than we all want to believe and the media is the culprit !

[Enough is ENOUGH]

"What has become crystal clear to me in the wake of the Wellstone event is that conservatives in America today are on the very verge of becoming the unmistakable equivalent of the Jews in mid-1930s Germany. And I don’t mean rhetorically."

I thought the same thing while briefly viewing the Wellstone rally on TV the other night. I also noticed that after the initial uproar about the rally how quickly the media stopped talking about it.

This pretty much sums up the memorial...

My advice: you’d better get ready to physically defend yourself, your loved ones, your homes and your possessions.

That "memorial service" made it clear the Democrats are looking for a martyr, and if they can't find one they'll invent one. Particularly disturbing were the repeated, impassioned, empty calls for "justice, equality, protection, salvation, etc." - as if their opponents are actively & deliberately seeking the opposite. There was no platform of ideas, no expression of principles, no respect for their political opponents, just hours of screaming, podium-pounding "we have a martyr, now get the hell out of our way."
