Those Who Refuse to Learn From History...
Every once in a while I'll get an email or a link to the words of Kitty Werthmann, an Austrian-born naturalized American citizen that watched Austrians give themselves to Hitler's creeping fascism, only too recognize their mistake after their freedoms were extinguished.
Today, her warning is haunting, and seems to echo what we see unfolding before us.
With apologies to George Santayana:
Those who CAN remember the past are condemned
to live among idiots repeating it.

perhaps you failed to notice that ms werthmann was writing during the bush administration, who foisted upon us the stalinistic "patriot" act, which authorizes:
searches through which law enforcement officers search a home or business without the owner’s or the occupant’s permission or knowledge; the expanded use of National Security Letters, which allows the FBI to search telephone, e-mail, and financial records without a court order; and the expanded access of law enforcement agencies to business records, including library and financial records. Since its passage, several legal challenges have been brought against the act, and Federal courts have ruled that a number of provisions are unconstitutional
now, that is a truly frightening erosion of the constitutional rights of american citizens

Hitler wanted to make the limit 25, so these fasco-dems are WORSE THAN HITLER!!!!!!
Don't even get me started on the generous tax breaks to small businesses. Can you say Gulag?
