I expected them to start shouting "sieg heil" when the crowd erupted
in ecstatic cheers after Bu$h said in a recent speech, "Knowing what I know today, I would have made the same decision."

I heard this on the radio. It sent chills up and down my spine. It could have been an English speaking Hitler referring to the invasion of Poland.

We, our nation, and the entire world, are in very grave danger.

We don't have much time left, folks.

Let's re-double our efforts to make sure that John Kerry is elected, that the monster in the WH is defeated, and that we insure that the specter of fascism never raise its ugly head in our land again.


1939: Germany invades Poland

German forces have invaded Poland and its planes have bombed Polish cities, including the capital, Warsaw.
The attack comes without any warning or declaration of war.

Britain and France have mobilised their forces and are preparing to wage war on Germany for the second time this century.

German radio broadcast a list of "demands" never submitted to the Polish Government.

At first, many people did not take Hitler seriously. But as time progressed, his fiery words and brilliant blue eyes seemed to captivate those who listened to him. Many Germans believed he was their “Lord and Protector” and their friend. His emotional speeches made crowds cheer “Heil, Hitler! (“Adolf Hitler,” 1976).

1. Their "Four More Years" chant sounds an awful lot like "heil Hitler" to me

in the way they use it.

Anytime someone argues or protests or expresses any opinion that differs from their's, these "ditto head" mindless idiots chant "Four More Years!". they don't want to HAVE to think. they just want to blindly follow.
