... and they said, "It can't happen here!" Guess again. Even back in the 30s there were a LOT of prominent Americans who thought Maria Anna Schicklgruber's grandson, Adolph Hitler, was the cat's pajamas. Charles Lindberg, Prescott Bush, Fred Koch, and hundreds, if not thousands, of others believed fascism was the answer to all their problems. Hitler adopted the political philosophy of Mussolini, who preferred to call his system of government, "Corporatism."

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
