A quotation from Nazi Reich Marshall Goering - sound familiar?
Nazi Reich Marshal Goering, said: “...the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism..."

2. nah,
support the troops. let everyone behind you on the freeway know that patriotism begins by emblazoning your tailgate. support 'em dammnit. how? i don't know. support 'em. support 'em till you're blue in the face, and you don't have any more space on the tailgate of your SUV for stickers. then you can support them by telling everyone that hasn't seen the car parked in your driveway that you support the troops. and after that, you can go buy all the bumperstickers at the tom thumb, to let the cashiers know that you support the troops. then you can build a reputation in your neighborhood that you support the troops more than everyone else does.
after all,
they just flattened the suburbs of falluja to protect your freedoms.
so you....better support them.

4. Some more good ones:
"Why of course the people don't want war. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." --Hermann Goering, Nazi officer, during his Nuremberg war crimes trial


"...the rank and file are usually much more primitive than we imagine. Propaganda must therefore always be essentially simple and repetitious."
-Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda Minister



"The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the vast masses of a nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies, but would be ashamed to tell big lies." -- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf


"The national government will maintain and defend the foundations on which the power of our nation rests. It will offer strong protection to Christianity as the very basis of our collective morality. Today Christians stand at the head of our country. We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit. We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theatre, and in the press-- in short, we want to burn out the poison of immorality which has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of LIBERAL excess during the past years." Hitler


"The more we do to you, the less you seem to believe we are doing it." -- Dr. Joseph Mengele

5. It is familiar.
The left wing has been using this quote for the last few years.

Quick! Someone post a "Hello and welcome to last week!" picture!

6. And each year the Nazi quotes are more appropriate in describing the
fascist ideology and practices of Bu$h and the administration that tells him what to do.:P
