I see no one is stopping the nazis today
oh look, those men over there are raping a woman....oh well, i have an appointment. oh look, those g.i.'s are killing a p.o.w....move along, nothing to see here. hey, giant corporations are robbing the treasury....break it up, move on. oh look, america is invading a country and occupying it with brute force....nevermind, last fraiser episode. oh look, burnt up children and mothers in fallujah, oh well, gotta get to work.

hey, bush stole that election. i know, just get over it. two jets just flew into the world trade center. yeah, that's old news. hey, the white house is the official news source on all the networks. no prob, just relax. hey i see that prince bandar is controlling gas prices with georgey. standard procedure, don't be an alarmist.

well mo, what will you do? you bitch and whine and complain a lot but what are you actually doing to stop the nazis? don't throw that ugly word around so liberally, you'll embarass us all. bush is no hitler and you know it. the nazis killed many millions, the bush's only hundreds of thousands.

......................

mo last seen, running down the street screaming at passing cars.
'the nazis are here!', 'the nazis are HERE people!'

the cars rolled up their windows and left him in the street, drooling.

If you are familiar with the Bush-Nazi connection, the CIA-Nazi connection,
the Giuliani/Manhattan Institute/Nazi connection, the GOP-Nazi connection,
the Rockefeller-Nazi connection etc. material the book described in this
article should be of considerable interest.

U.S. Said to Embrace Alleged Nazi Allies

By SIOBHAN McDONOUGH, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - The U.S. government threw moral qualms to the wind in employing
ex-Nazis after World War II, contend historians who examined a mountain of
declassified papers released Thursday.

The government "dishonored the memory of the victims of the Holocaust and
American soldiers who died," said Elizabeth Holtzman, member of a
government-appointed group studying millions of pages of files from that
era.

Reinhard Gehlen, for example, was recruited by the CIA after World War II
because he was chief of army intelligence for the Nazis on the Eastern
Front, where most of the mass killings of Jews occurred. Gehlen was
undoubtedly involved in the brutal interrogation of Russian prisoners of
war, Holtzman said.

Gehlen was brought to America and then sent back to Germany to set up a
major spy network for the United States. First, he worked for the CIA; later
his operation became the West German intelligence service and he was thought
to have employed Nazi war criminals.

He is just one example of how the FBI and other U.S. agencies ignored the
murky pasts of alleged Nazi collaborators, many living in the United States,
because the government saw them as useful during the Cold War, according to
the records released at the National Archives.

2. Perhaps mopaul will be America's...

Martin Niemoller?

On edit: MArtin Niemoller made his famous statement after the fact, while I expect that mopaul's statements will be prophetic. Just wanted to make sure that there was no misunderstanding.

3. That reads like three years of the "Tom Tomorrow" cartoon
The only thing missing was Tom's account of the neutering of the Democratic Party. Or maybe it was a lobotomy.

4. I'm going to volunteer for the Elect Kerry Campaign to provide
a solution to this mess.

5. You know what...
People in this country are idiots. Take a look as you walk down the street - they're all on cell phones all the time. It's easier to talk on a cell phone than watch your kids running across the street. It's easier to open a bottle of water than go to the sink and fill a glass.

It's easier to think that elected officials are smarter than you and are working in your favor because they ran for office.

Talk about stuff like this makes people think. It makes them put 2 and 2 together. And as we all know it's difficult to get to 4 and no one likes the answer they get.

Bush is our president - he is looking out for our safety. I know he's asking us to put aside some of our liberties - but it's only to catch a few terrorists who may be hiding near us. And if we catch a few bad guys dealing in kiddie porn or mail fraud along the way, that's even better.

The big picture is tough to see and for most of the people out there - not worth looking for.
