I have been reading books on Hitler's rise to power in the 1930's since Bush began his 'evil axis' crap. I have scared myself silly as a result!! It's how the Germans reacted to the 'fear' of being 'attacked' in allowing Hitler to take away their rights, how they began to accept the disappearance of their neighbors and even turned in fellow citizens that broke the 'rules' (listening to foreign radio for example). Dissent was eliminated over time.

Last night I was reading about the German advance into Russia and their treatment of the 'partisan' fighters within the occupied territory....night time raids of villagers' homes, rounding up and shipping off anyone who might be giving support to the opposition, holding women and children hostage to get to the 'wanted' men, cutting their electricity off, etc.... Does this not sound familar?

I think W must have gotten a hold of the 'Nazi Handbook' that grandpa Preston must have had. I truely believe we are on the brink of full blown fascism.
