BUSH COMPARED TO HITLER

         So far, I've seen nothing to eliminate the possibility that Bush is on the same course as Hitler.  And I've seen far too many analogies to dismiss the possibility.

The propaganda.
The lies.
The rhetoric.
The nationalism.
The flag waving.
The pretext of 'preventive war'.
The flaunting of international law and international standards of justice.
The disappearances of 'undesirable' aliens.
The threats against protesters.
The invasion of a non-threatening sovereign nation.
The occupation of a hostile country.
The promises of prosperity and security.
The spying on ordinary citizens.
The incitement to spy on one's neighbors - and report them to the government.
The arrogant triumphant pride in military conquest.
The honoring of soldiers.
The tributes to 'fallen warriors.
The diversion of money to the military.
The demonization of government appointed 'enemies'.
The establishment of 'Homeland Security'.
The dehumanization of 'foreigners'.
The total lack of interest in the victims of government policy.
The incarceration of the poor and mentally ill.
The growing prosperity from military ventures.
The illusion of 'goodness' and primacy.
The new einsatzgrupen forces.
Assassination teams.
Closed extralegal internment camps.
The militarization of domestic police.
Media blackout of non-approved issues.
Blacklisting of protesters - including the no-fly lists and photographing dissenters at rallies.

         There isn't much doubt in my mind.  Anyone who compares the history of Hitler's rise to power and the progression of recent events in the US cannot avoid the parallels.  It's incontrovertible.  Is Bush another Hitler?  Maybe not, but with each incriminating event, the parallel grows--it certainly cannot be dismissed.  There's too much evidence already.  Just as Hitler used American tactics to plan and execute his reign, it looks as if Karl Rove is reading Hitler's playbook to plan world domination - and that is the stated intent of both.  From the Reichstag fire to the landing at Nuremberg to the motto of "Gott Mit Uns" to the unprovoked invasion and occupation of Iraq to the insistence that peace was the ultimate goal, the line is unbroken and unwavering. 1
