Lately we're being told that it's either (a) inappropriate or (b) untrue to refer to Bush's illegitimate junta as Nazi, neo-Nazi or neofascist. Because, you know, you're not necessarily a Nazi just because you seize power like one, take advantage of a national Reichstag Fire-like tragedy like one, build concentration and death camps like one, start unprovoked wars like one, Red-bait your liberal opponents like one or create a national security apparatus that behaves like something a Nazi would create and even has a Nazi-sounding name. All of those people who see a little Adolf in the not-so-bright eyes of America's homeland-grown despot are just imagining things.
Me, I'm catching it for this week's cartoon for daring to suggest that, well--you know.
Of course, there are differences. Hitler, for example, was legally elected. And he had a plan--not one that I like, but a plan--for the period after the war.
I'll be happy to stop comparing Bush to Hitler when he stops acting like him.

Nullific Reviewed by Nullific on . Thanks President Bush..... For doing your best to protect my family from those wanting to cut my head off just because I have a difference on religion. For going after them first before they grow stronger to some day, wipe our great planet with a WMD. For taking the fight to them instead of having my home land in defense mode 24/7 and allowing me to know when my wife and daughter goes to the mall, they will in most case return. Thanks President Bush for putting a team in place that has the interest on a better tomorrow Rating: 5
