In the Garden of the Beasts

I am reading In the Garden of the Beasts by Erik Larson (get it from Amazon). The parallels of where we are today and Nazi Germany in the 1930's is frightening. The Nazi crazies, the way they controlled the German population who supported the murder of innocent Jews and Blacks, the fascist white men demanding racial purity and that abortion be banded and that German women should dedicate their lives to having large families of racially pure Aryan children. It is interesting how the daughter of the American Ambassador was at first fooled and supportive of Hitler and the Nazis.

Now is the time for all good men and women to stand up for what is right and decent and come to the aid of their country by banishing these evil people by defeating them in November. Failure is not an option.

"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty."
