But seriously, as I peruse right-boards and listen to the populist rhetoric... and the the release of this "Obsession" video about Islamist terror.

I really have to wonder if we're on the cusp of where Germany was. I guess my one hope is that there are no small number of people who would fight this... but you can seriously see the kernel of it trying to take root.

1. A few years ago,

I talked to a woman who grew up in Nazi Germany. She told me too many things that were similar.

2. From 2002 to 2006 it seemed that while it might be too much to

compare * with Hitler, it was reasonable to look at American society and find it somewhat similar to the society in Weimar Germany.

Though the tide does seem to be changing. Economic crisis in Germany got so bad that they turned to authoritarians. The US does not seem to be doing that.
