In the days since Mike Huckabee's fascinating, totally new strategy of calling Barack Obama Hitler for negotiating a freeze on Iran's nuclear arms program (which can never work because Iran is Nazi Germany), the Republican Party has rediscovered just how heady that metaphor is, with an enthusiasm not seen since the halcyon Teabag Summer of 2009, when Obama was Hitler for making people get health insurance. Only now, as Huckabee himself explained, it's totally different, because there are
Liberals are hitler too, according to these people. Everything but them is hitler.
Which is kinda funny. Let us spell out why.Who wants no one to have any power except them?Who wants to restrict all schooling except what they approve of?Who wants all these "other" people to go the hell away already?Who wants to subjugate the masses under one ideology and one religion?Who screams that everyone else ought to be tolerant of their intolerance to everyone else?Who likes to go about making death threats and failing that, just marginalize everyone else who does not agree with them?Who uses science in a twisted and mutated form in an attempt to substantiate their bullshit ideals?
If Obama issued an official proclamation in favor of Oxygen, the entire GOP would hold their breath out of protest. In fact, I don't know why his advisers haven't suggested the move. It would help the country out immensely if these kneejerk idiots suffocated under their own childishness.
May I point out, with the greatest of respect, that when Chamberlain was in Munich negotiating with Herr Hitler, the United States was doing everything in its power to have nothing to do with the situation in Europe.
Your government wasn't demanding Chamberlain extract greater concessions from the Third Reich, it was making it very clear it wanted no involvement at all. That knowledge may have encouraged Hitler in his expansionism.
These politicians who are implying they would have gone down to the wire in 1938 would, in fact, have been aligned with Lindbergh et al. And as far as Huckabee and his Holocaust analogies, the U.S. were quite adamant in turning away refugees from Hitler.
Uncle Joe certainly didn't think Mao was a true communist. He thought a communist revolution had to be based upon the workers, rather than the peasants, which, it seems to me, was a true blind spot on Uncle Joe's part because Russia didn't industrialize until after the revolution. But, Joe supported Chaing Kai Chek, until Mao squeezed Chaing out, and then Joe supported Mao by trying to teach him how to be a real communist, in a true White Man's Burden kind of way.
In reality, it's as hard in China today to enter the Communist Party as it used to be to enter the Mandarin class. (Compare the party ranks in the USSR with the Table of Ranks under the Czar.). Some might say the Marxist rhetoric is window dressing.
But here in 'Murica, Chaing was considered a Christian and a hero, who would make China a modern Christian nation, just like the U.S., while Mao was considered Godless and a Russian pawn.
What's important here is what the squeakiest of the squeaky wheels think. Always has been. Freedom. Free Enterprise. Low wages. Personal responsibility. That's what 'Muricans crave.
They are waiting until late October of 2016. Mrs Obama is also going to make a statement that jumping off of bridges and tall buildings and cliffs might not be the best for one's health.
Why thank you. It was a last-minute addition when I realized there were a few clown car passengers who hadn't said anything about Huck (that I'd seen, at least).
Fluffy kittens will destroy us all..
Adjectival subject verbs object adverbially, you can't explain it!
I got to see parts of his bunker, in Samara, in 1991. That was weird.
Hail all of them, Katie!

*cough* opening up trade and free market and exchanging of goods and ideas often does that pretty dang well. Funny that.

The Republican Party of the time was running on peace and any price and painting Roosevelt as a warmonger.
No, Preb!

Tru dat, yo... I'm surprised that they can even say the word "holocaust" without reflexively putting "abortion" in front of it.
