Subject: American Hitler - The Quiz

In the 1990's, our so-called "patriotic" Republican friends compared The President of the United States to Hitler.

For example, look at these doctored photos:

But wait.... Why should they get all the fun?

So, Without Further Ado, Here's The QUIZ:

 

Bush or Hitler?

Question  1:   c  Bush     c  Hitler

"We have no interest in oppressing other people. We are not moved by hatred against any other nation. We bear no grudge. I know how grave a thing war is. I wanted to spare our people such an evil. It is not so much the country; it is rather its leader. He has led a reign of terror. He has hurled countless people into the profoundest misery. Through his continuous terrorism, he has succeeded in reducing millions of his people to silence. The maintenance of a tremendous military arsenal can only be regarded as a focus of danger. We have displayed a truly unexampled patience, but I am no longer willing to remain inactive while this madman ill-treats millions of human beings." 

 

Question  2:   c  Bush      c  Hitler

"If we must begin a military campaign, it will be directed against the lawless men who rule your country and not against you. ...We will tear down the apparatus of terror and we will help you to build a new [nation being invaded] that is prosperous and free. In a free [nation being invaded], there will be no more wars of aggression against your neighbors, no more poison factories, no more executions of dissidents, no more torture chambers and rape rooms. The tyrant will soon be gone. The day of your liberation is near." 

 

Question  3:   c  Bush      c  Hitler

"As young [people of the nation], you have an important responsibility, which is to become good citizens." 

 

Question  4:   c  Bush      c  Hitler

"[W]e being resolved to undertake the political and moral purification of our public life, are creating and securing the conditions necessary for a really profound revival of religious life.   ...   Christian [churches are important] for the maintenance of our nationality. They will respect the agreements concluded between them and the federal States. Their rights are not to be infringed.... It will be the Government's care to maintain honest co-operation between Church and State; the struggle against materialistic views and for a real national community is just as much in the interest of [this] nation as in that of the welfare of our Christian faith." 

 

Question  5:   c  Bush      c  Hitler

"[Y]ou know I have always been an enemy of half measures or weak decisions. If God has so willed that the [nation's] people cannot be spared this fight, then I can only be grateful that it entrusted me with the leadership in this historic struggle... [blah blah blah]... The [nation's] people and their soldiers are working and fighting today, not only for the present, but for the coming, most distant, generations. A historical revision on a unique scale has been imposed on us by the Creator."

 

Question  6:   c  Bush      c  Hitler

"God told me to strike at [one enemy] and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at [another enemy], which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in [African region]." 

 

Question  7:   c  Bush      c  Hitler

"I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty Creator. ... If there is a God, then he gives us not only life but also consciousness and awareness. If I live my life according to my God-given insights, then I cannot go wrong, and even if I do, I know I have acted in good faith." 

 

Question  8:   c  Bush      c  Hitler

"The resolve of our great nation is being tested. But make no mistake: We will show the world that we will pass this test." 

 

Question  9:   c  Bush      c  Hitler

"Strength lies not in defense, but in attack." 

 

Question 10:  c  Bush      c  Hitler

"We have the force necessary to deal with the situation."

1] Hitler, 2] Bush, 3] Bush, 4] Hitler, 5] Bush, 6] Hitler, 7] Hitler, 8] Bush, 9] Hitler,10] Bush 

 Scoring:

 9  - 10   Congratulations! You can tell the difference between our shining neo-con President and

                the twentieth century's worst war criminal!

 7  -   8    Ehhh... Not so much.

 5  -   6    You know, you'd have done as well by flipping a coin.

 3  -   4    It's pretty offensive to mix these two up.   I mean, Hitler was bad and all, but at least he

                kept the Germans fully employed.

 0  -   2    Repeat after me: It can't happen here. It can't happen here. By the way, here's a completely
