Repeating History

It appears the Obama administration it to government power grab what the sooners were to the Oklahoma land grant. Is there no stopping them?

Can someone in your office explain to me how the UAW owned 10% of the outstanding bonds received 55% Chrysler’s stock?

President Obama makes Bill Clinton’s missing FBI files and Richard Nixon’s enemies’ list look like pre-school playground antics. Never has so few demonized so many in such a short time. You have to go back to Nazi Germany during the 1930s, the Bolshevik revolution in Russia during 1917, or the French Revolution of 1789.

In all three of the examples, those in power trampled on the rights of the individual. Not only were there a great loss of freedom, the loss of life by innocent people was in the tens and hundreds of thousands.

Each of these governments wanted to rebuild the nation into the image that they believed that it should be. The saying is if you forget history, you are bound to repeat it. Are we on that path now?

  1. I agree you always have to look back to learn from mistakes.
    But saying Obama administration is Hitler and Lenin might be a little over the top.(not sure if that is what your saying)

  2. I'm saying is that I doubt that the French, Russians or Germans were looking for change and a better government. I doubt that any of the avrage citizens suspected how the change would actually affect so many innocent people.

    I'm saying that Obama's administration is runing roughshod over the right of American citizens. They are using political tactics of demonizing groups of people to focus the anger and attention of the people away from the changes that they are making.

    I'm saying that the Obama administration is trampling on the US Constitution unlike any other president hs ever before. That includes W, Clinton and Nixon rolled all together.

    Someone tell me how Obama has the right to take taxpayer money, give it to Chrysler, take stock in trade and then give that stock to the UAW? The same UAW that now says that it will sell that stock to support their healthcare and retirement programs.

    Tell me how the government is allowed to force banks to take TARP money even when they don't need it and then refuse to take it back when they try to repay it?

    Am I saying that Obama is Hitler or Stalin? No. Am I saying that they are showing some of Hitler and Stalin's early political practices? Yes.

    We need to be on our toes and be prepared to try to stop this power grab before it corrupts the government and process even further. We need to be contacting our representative and voicing our concerns. We need to be looking for and supporting new candidates for 2010.

  3. I see your point, but I just think the example is a little over board.

  4. Have you read anything about these three revolution? When I say Brown Shirt tactics do you see the connection to the Acorn paid protest by the union in front of the AIG CEO houses.

    When I speak of Stalin, do you see the similarity of the government taking over companies by one way or another?

    You would be surprised to see how many people don't know who the Brown Shirts were or how some of the actions being taken by the Obama administration mirrors the begining of these three revolts.

    I like to use the extreme to point out a very real danger.
