134. Ok I will have to try to explain this to you
Not all Republicans are Radicals, but RadCons are as bad as the KKK or the Nazi party. Some of these RadCons are talking about internment camps already (Malkin and a couple others to name names)

They are racist, and yes they would not mind killing, in this case Muslims instead of Jews, but brown is brown so it will pass for the moment, I guess.

Your husband may not be a RadCon, but be very busy with life. You don't take politics as serioously as others... you don't have time. Well a moral person has the duty to find out what is going around him or her and speak out when immoral acts are being commited.

By the way, this Republican Party is not your father's Republican Party, and your husband (givng him the benefit of the doubt) may have not noticed just how far to the radical right this party has moved. For the record many Republicans, intelligent Republicans, are increasingly waking up to the fact that their party is now under the control of a RADICAL clique, who may or may not find them disposable sooner or later.

Oh and yes I will compare some of these sick fucks in leadership possitions to Nazis, now observe I did not say all Republicans, but the Radicals now in charge... time to wake up... for you now live the classic dilema of a moral person in an immoral society. Yep, the same dilema that many decent Germans, hell many decent low level members of the Nazi Party, lived with in Nazi Germany. No, not every NAZI knew of the concentration camps, partly becuase they did not want to know, partly becuase not all of them were in the right place to know, or had the need to know... especially in the early days of the party. But as more and more crimes against humanity were commited and more outrages were commited, more and more members faced the fact that they started hearing whispers of what was going on. Many chose to remain silent, for the pall of fear had now enveloped the nation. Some chose to actually resist. There was a Resistance in Germany, but this is a little known fact. Hell we chose not to suport it for we wanted to defeat Germany utterly and completely.

Trust me, your husband, if this gets that bad, will face the same dilema many foot soldiers faced sooner or later. After all, after WW II was over, many former Nazis forgot what they did during those years and moved on with their lives. When asked, they were never members of the party, and they hoped records were lost. Could we get to that point? It truly depends on how far these sick fucks manage to carry the PNAC agenda... but if they do, and we end up in the midst of WW III, there is no way this country can defeat the world... on that you can mark my words.

But you should consider giving him a copy of Reinhold Neiebuhrs "Moral Man in an Immoral Society" or Hannah Arend's book "The Banality of Evil." Let him reach his own conclusions, especially if you add to that list, Hersh's "Chain of Command." Oh and for the record I do not envy you. He may be wonderful, but if he acutally favors any of the policies that these sick fucks are carrying out, including torture... then he is an instrument, and so are you.

I am lucky that my husband does not like these sick fucks either... but then again he has seen in the flesh how they are destroying much of our armed forces... in the field, by their insane policies.
