@old europe,
oe, you are repeating the common escape argument here, I realize that, and you have a large portion of intelligentsia that agree with you, I also realize that, but be aware also that a large number of people and body of thought, and history disputes your argument. I can read too, and it is part of the historic record that Hitler did in fact rise to power through a coalition of the labor movement and young people, socialistic in thinking. Eerily similar to other ruthless dictators that have come on the scene, Hitler railed against greed, pure capitalism, and he empasized power of the people, mixed it with nationalism. As a matter of note, it made me very uneasy to hear the masses in Denver at Obama's acceptance speech, singing "power to the people."
There are in fact many similarities between what gave rise to Hitler and what is giving rise to the new left. The main difference is that nationalism of Germany is being replaced with a sort of nationalism of the world. Oddly, and again, the Jews are being marginalized once again as they become more isolated politically, with dwindling support among other nations.
My apologies for elaborating on Hitler, but MONTANA brought it up, trying to compare Bush to Hitler, and somebody needs to refute this nonsense.
You make me laugh Okie! I have always, and I mean always been an independent thinker and have never been one to let others influence me. I don't get my information from talking with people other than opinions and you have absolutely no clue as to what I know about history.
