Night

[crandc]

Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor, writer, human rights activist, died last week.

His account of his time in Auschwitz was published as Night. It was thought to be too explicit to be a best seller but Wiesel insisted it stay as written.

If you have not read it do so. It will stay with you for life.

And anytime you hear:
Obama is just like Hitler
Hillary Clinton is just like Hitler
George W. Bush is just like Hitler
Obamacare is just like Hitler
Marriage equality is just like Hitler
Income tax is just like Hitler
Raising taxes on the rich is just like Hitler
Gun control is just like Hitler
Legal abortion is just like Hitler
Birth control is just like Hitler

You will know that the person who said that is lying.

Thanks for the suggestion..I needed a good read and this would be one I believe.

 

[crandc]

Not sure I'd call it "good" read, I mean, it's harrowing.

good was probably the wrong adjective...I studied the holocaust extensively when I was a student and did several projects about it.

I noticed that you left Trump off that list. Was that intentional?

I've heard Trump referred to as a fascist (incorrectly) but I have not heard "just like Hitler" although parallels have been made between rallies.

My list was representative not comprehensive.

I have definitely heard/seen the Hitler comparisons with Trump.

But I agree with you. For anyone to compare a politician to Hitler is flat out ridiculous. Maybe Stalin. Maybe Pol Pot. To compare anyone else to him is absurd.

I agree--as you said, at most Trump is Stalin....maybe a Pol Pot. Definitely not a Hitler.

 

[crandc]

Actually Trump is a Bonapartist, not a fascist. We can discuss on separate thread, please.

Hitler was not always the end result that we read about.

Clinton and Obama definitely resemble Hitler in his earlier days, and both have mirrored his major political modus operandi that enabled him to seize such devastating power in frightening detail.

Hopefully they will fail where he succeeded in becoming a world tyrant, but they are already within reach of world domination as it is. They've pretty much crushed true Freedom in America already, have the camps built and ready, have the troops, weapons and munitions...

Nothing but an armed populace stands in their way, and they're working very hard to do away with that.

 

[crandc]

Anyone who compares Clinton and Obama to Hitler is either deliberately lying or ignorant. I don't mean ignorant in the sense of simply not knowing about something, but in the sense of deliberately choosing to be ignorant.

Maris is spewing diarrhea on the memory of a great man.
I guess that is what real Americans do.

Great man?
