He is undoubtedly one of the most evil figures of the 20th Century, but the fact is, many of the things he believed in still pervade our very lives today, be it in the form of racism, homophobia, or anything else that attempts to deprive individuals of their freedom to be who they are.
Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the war of the future.
Adolf Hitler
This could be included in a manual on how politicians the world over, govern their people today.

Two words: Proposition. Eight.
Humanitarianism is the expression of stupidity and cowardice.

That quote could have come straight from a Fox News pundit.
Universal education is the most corroding and disintegrating poison that liberalism has ever invented for its own destruction.

Ever the optimist huh?
Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.

This one made the rounds constantly in the early Bush years, especially after it was all coming out that there were no WOMDs found.
But they all apply to someone in current times, unfortunately.

Well…yeah. And many of the things we know about modern medicine were learned in his concentration camps. Wouldn’t present that as a good thing though.

I totally agree with you, Leah, and it started with the lies told about Gore. It’s like these guys decided to invent their own reality and then somehow managed to convince a large chunk of the population to believe in it.
I will be SOOOO glad when these crooks and liars are out of office.

I think what is really scary is that people forget that the “past is prologue”. We keep repeating history’s mistakes.
We are, thank God, finishing up 8 years of the Bush administration. Hopefully, we will have a better representative of the people in the White House for the next 4 years and maybe 8. We can only hope for the best.

Hitler was an evil s.o.b., but these philosophies didn’t originate with him and unfortunately they didn’t die with him. Napoleon, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Pol Pot, modern China, Sadam Hussein, the Bush administration; not a one has held copyright on the poison apple or the sad reality that sometimes we, the masses, willingly close our eyes and follow the apple bearer.

I agree completely with your analysis of the Bush Administration, although I lay the blame of Prop 8 and its brothers in legislation squarely on the churches who funded it and THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR IT.
Considering that Obama won by a handy margin in CA, a lot of them were Democrats, which really pisses me off. How hypocritical is it to forget that forty years ago, if we had put interracial marriage to a vote in CA, it would have been banned as well? The religious bigots (notice I did not not say that all people of faith are bigots, though plenty of them are) calling for GBLT people to have their rights stripped from them are using the same Biblical passages the segregationists used against people of color during the civil rights movement. We don’t ban Pagans and Wiccans from marrying and being full citizens, but there are plenty of Bible passages calling for them to be stoned or persecuted. When are people going to wake up?
So remember, readers, every time you buy a book from Rick Warren* or his church, you’re funding his bigotry and reimbursing him for persecuting gay people.
*Yes, he wrote The Purpose-Driven Life and The Purpose-Driven Christmas or some such title. Now he makes me want to vomit. I can’t stand hypocrites.
