The more things change wink, the more they stay the same. Obama starts deploying interrogation teams
-
And the Nazis begin to replace the brown-shirts
-
Are you kidding? I'm going to completely dismiss the Nazi reference as you've obviously been watching too much Limbaugh.OK, so what is bad about what that article says? - There are new interogation squads. OK, thats not new. Bush had them too. - They are under the control of the FBI. Thats new, CIA are no longer in control. Not a bad thing.- They are not allowed to use "harsh interrogation methods". This means they are not allwed to torture. Only in your mind is this a bad thing!You really need to read the stuff that comes after the headlines!
-
yes, please explain what your issue is with this and how it is any more fascist that Bush's activities.I suspect that you have caught a case of Glenn Beck's "Nazi turrets"
-
The parallels are building up...and you two wise-acres are forgetting I don't watch TV and pay no attention to either Limbaugh or Beck.
-
What parallels? To whom or what?
-
that's amusing because after Beck went on about the "good old days of the USA", so did you.
Now, Beck compares everything to nazis and, well -
I think you may be on to something Mr. U. We can verify this when he starts to compare himself to King. Look for that around August 28th.
-
I'm wondering if we also have to wait until late August for him to answer our questions
-
Wait...I'm not seeing where Thor said this was a bad thing. In fact, based on his "the more they stay the same" comment, it sounds like he's acknowledging that what Obama is doing looks a lot like Bush's policies.Or am I missing something?
-
Well, taking that point of view, I personally see what Obama did as an improvement, removing the torture element and all. What is your opinion on the matter?
-
More along the lines of "history repeats itself". Time to wake up to the truth about Obama...if only you can first swallow your pride for having supported him to begin with (for those who did).
-
Blair resigns ...and now we shall soon see who Hit...um...Obama's "Himmler" is.I'd guess this isn't quite the "change" you libs were hoping for, eh?
-
You're comparing Obama to Hitler, right?
-
Both started as socialists and quickly took control of the government for purposes of centralizing their power-base...ultimately morphing into fascism. One big difference is that Hitler took advantage of the opportunity that Germany's depression provided him...Obama actually helped create the financial down-turn that he is now taking advantage of.BTW, in spite of the fact that I practically handed it to you, thank you for not making me play "connect the dots" for the umpteenth time.

I'm pretty sure I've posted the many comparisons between Hitler and George Bush Jr., and specifically stated that these comparisons are meaningless.
Hitler had facial hair and so do I, am I as evil as Hitler?

LOL! Since when do you decide for the world what is and isn't meaningless? It's history repeating itself...as it always does. Only meaningless if one closes ones eyes because they don't want to see what is there, because it makes them uncomfortable.We all have a right to be comfortable regardless of what's going on around us and to others now, don't we? (Please note sarcasm)

There is a difference between history repeating itself and seeing patterns where there are none. As a religious fundamentalist I know that you will find this hard to comprehend, but coincidence does exist. Certain things in life are actually meaningless. Someone who doesn't agree with you is not automatically against you.The world is not out to get you. As Governor of Texas George Bush oversaw more executions than any other Governor (a mini-holocaust you might say ), he illegally tapped phones, he legalised torture, he created legislation that prevented him from being held responsible for ANY wrong-doings while he was in office, he started TWO wars, he did stuff that actually made the world a shitter place! His grandfather actually funded Hitler! But guess what? He wasn't HITLER!!! No matter how evil I think that Bush was, I'm not so stupid as to compare a politician that does things that I don't agree with to fucking Hitler! Hitler used the Reichstag Fire to instil fear in the nation so he could get lots of support, Bush did the same with 9/11. Was Bush Hitler? NO!Stop making stupid assumptions. This thread was started when you posted an article about Obama making torture illegal again, how fucked up are you that you link THIS to Hitler???

If you want to know what's going on, you have to learn to read between the lines and generally not take what you find on TV and the internet at face value. Do you really think Obama is going to tell you the truth or let it be known? Are you really that naive? But I do have to warn you...you will begin to feel uncomfortable if you do start reading between the lines. That's the price you pay for having concern for the truth.
-
Ah yes, reading between the lines. There's another term for that, isn't there? Hmmm, what is it again? I always forget this... Oh yes, now I remember! Its called making shit up!!!!Thinking stuff is true that you have no evidence for is known as being crazy! Obama is a Nazi, illegal immigrants want nothing but your money, the Universe was created by the pulling of God's finger. OK, I'll give it a go. I'll read between the lines. I'll read somewhere between making torture illegal again and giving the American people free health care. I wonder what I'll find! Will it be Nazis? Will it be Hitler himself? Nope! Turns out Obama spends much of his free time nursing sick kittens back to health. Wow, that guy is so awesome! Thank you Thor, thank you for teaching me to read between the lines. I love Obama even more now because of you! Yay!

Obama is a socialist...not a Nazi; though the term "Nazi" is an acronym for a socialist pary.
