President's Monday Night Speech Will Show GOP Continues To Follow Nazi Path

by Thomas J. Bico


May 13, 2006 – The comparisons of the current GOP to the Nazis in 1930's Germany have been frequent and inescapable. The wars of aggression, the propaganda, the intolerance of dissent, the overt and constant use of hatred, fear, and repetitive lies, the setup of concentration camps, sending people away to the camps indefinitely and without trial, torturing them while they are there, overtly admitting that torture is something they feel they need to do. This week we also learned that during the past five years the GOP has also been emulating the Nazis in rounding up as much personal information about everyone in the nation as possible.

<...>

And the rhetoric being used to frighten Americans into supporting this effort is straight out of the Nazi playbook. As we detailed in this article a month ago, the GOP is blaming immigrants for taking money out of the pockets of American citizens by driving down wages and calling them a threat to national security. Never mind the fact the GOP has repeatedly voted against raising the minimum wage, for GATT and NAFTA that let jobs be shipped to these immigrants to do in the home countries for slave wages, support for outsourcing and off-shoring.

<...>

To be clear, the President will not go on the air tomorrow night and call for all out mobilization to round up 12 million people. But make no mistake, the calls for using our military, the shifting of the nation's attention to those dark-skinned immigrants, the blaming them for the economic conditions and calling them a threat to national security, the calls for rounding all of them up and imprisoning them explicitly in legislation that was passed - yes, passed - by the House of Representatives, makes clear what will be next for this GOP.

<...>

But on Monday night, the leader of the 2000 era GOP will make clear that their sights are set on rounding up millions of Americans, and when the opportunity presents itself a few years down the road, when the economy is deep in collapse due to the bankrupting policies of the GOP, when people are hurting because wages have declined beyond livability, when the debt comes due war mongering abroad can't be used due to overextending of the military... they'll be coming for them.

Anyone who can read these and not be very afraid is just not paying attention!
