I thought this might be a good topic of discussion
He offered them Hope and a Change from the past.
He had a real infectious "Yes we can!" attitude.
He used Greek temples as a prop for his speeches.
He railed at the evils of capitalism
He took over his nations car companies...and banks
"He offered them Hope and a Change from the past. "
but
isn't that what people like palin offer to conservatives?
essentially...palin and glenn beck are saying
"our only HOPE is CHANGE from the (democratic/liberal/moderate/republican) past!"
"He had a real infectious "Yes we can!" attitude."
ridiculous comparison.
first, I have no evidence that is true of hitler. did he have real infectious "Yes we can!" attitude?
I would need evidence.
second...if having a real infectious "Yes we can!" attitude makes you bad then I offer up sarah palin as being bad because SHE has a REAL infectious YES WE CAN attitude.
"He used Greek temples as a prop for his speeches."
omygod!
you are deranged!
"He railed at the evils of capitalism"
obama does NOT rail against capitalism.
In fact he is merely a rational person who understands that UNFETTERED CAPITALISM can cause major disasters
"He took over his nations car companies...and banks"
if it hadn't been for unfettered capitalism and greed perhaps it never would have come to that.
however
let's give some other points regarding the reasons hitler was able to pull the wool over the eyes of millions of conservatives...I mean "dittoheads"...er...I mean "tea baggers"...oops...I mean..."german citizens"
hitler promoted STRONG PATRIOTISM
and he promoted STRONG TRADITIONAL FAMILY VALUES;
father head of household, stay at home mom, lots of aryan children
he strongly opposed "IMMORALITY" like sex outside of marriage, divorce, homosexuality
he urged and promoted strong CHRISTIAN religious beliefs
he gave his tea baggers people to blame; liberals, feminists, atheists, intellectuals, communists, blacks, jews, minorities
all of whom were the ENEMY of America (I mean Germany)
all of who were presented as degenerates, stupid, inferior, undeserving....
sounds like glenn beck
and rush limbaugh
and ann coulter
and bill oreilly
