Like the Nazis - right on time...

[chaz4jazz]

Bush and the GOP, like the Nazis of the 30s, in order to maintain complete control of the government, begin calling the opposition "traitors" and "cowards" wanting to "surrender" to the "enemy." How long will it be before, in their panic of losing control, they begin to dismantle the government as we know it - and have known it to be. While their sycophants at Fox applaud their every move, and the repukes elsewhere cheer in pleasure, the GOP will find ways to emasculate Congress (perhaps closing it in lieu of burning it down) and withholding elections on the basis "national security."

Sound familiar? Will the GOP be designing an armband soon enough? And what will be their salute?

1. Well..they are getting our phone records, medical records,

SS#, our credit histories, our bank accounts....it seems it's already started....the stupid repukes don't get it though...they are being spied on too....and as soon as they slip up they are on the enemies list...

I wonder if we get our country back if we can push treason against the Administration and Fox News.....

2. A lot of people's eyes glaze over when you compare them to Nazis, but...

they're sounding more and more like the Third Reich every day.

I’m gonna tell you fascists
You may be surprised
The people in this world
Are getting organized
You’re bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose

Race hatred cannot stop us
This one thing we know
Your poll tax and Jim Crow
And greed has got to go
You’re bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose.

All of you fascists bound to lose:
I said, all of you fascists bound to lose:
Yes sir, all of you fascists bound to lose:
You’re bound to lose! You fascists:
Bound to lose!

People of every color
Marching side to side
Marching ‘cross these fields
Where a million fascists dies
You’re bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose!

I’m going into this battle
And take my union gun
We’ll end this world of slavery
Before this battle’s won
You’re bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose!

3. That may be, but...

talk to anyone over 75 who was living in Germany during Hitler's rise, and they'll uniformly tell you two things:

1. What they see happening in the US today as far as policies, rhetoric, media complicity, and political behavior reminds them of Germany in the 1930's.

2. They can't comprehend why it is taboo for the media, or even "polite company," to openly talk about these similarities.

4. Not like, they ARE Nazis.

Just like their German counterparts... just give them a little more time and millions and millions of people will be dead.

8. They're running out of time.

The Clinton years aren't analagous to the Weimar Republic. 9/11 is losing some of its power to conjure fear, the war is a fucked up mess, and more and more people hate bushco. It's almost over for those bastards.

7. thought I'd take a shot at the armband

[chaz4jazz]

9. I think you gotta have the eagle in it

You know how they're fond of misrepresenting their motives, up is down, bad is good, war is peace, no tax for the rich, good for the poor...

The armband has to be about America, the Free.

Our Freedom is Your Freedom. Believe in us. ALl will be better AND SAFER! TRUST US with your world.

10. Quite right
