lifted this from an article...so simple..so true. It was so easy for Hitler too...really it was...

There are many books out these days which describe (like never before) what happened in Weimar Germany in the inter-war years of 1919-1933. There is much to ponder from authors like Detlev J.K. Puekert,1 Zeev Sternhell,2 Sebastian Haffner,3 and the masterwork of Daniel Jonah Goldhagen,4 who, each in their own way, their own research or memoirs, finds the German people of the inter-war years, like the American people today post 9/11, seemingly, willingly prepared to throw away liberty, the U.S. Constitution, be harangued by a president whose language increasingly fills {mine if not
yours) my ears with a Towering Babel of rant, obfuscation and mediocrity; language better suited to a lower ranking non-commissioned officer. Come-on? “Bring ‘em on!”

This is not the language of a statesman but a tyrant; language of “you’re either with us or against us.” This is language not befitting a free republic based upon democratic principles and liberty; a nation founded upon dissent and discourse not defamation and vitriol. But like it or not, left or right, free or bond this is the language of the new world order. The language based upon specific ways of viewing the world; of beliefs and ideology; of irrational power and infantile perspective. This is the language of permanent wars; preemptive and gratuitous slaughter. As Ron Paul pointed out in his recent speech, “It is getting more difficult to get fair and balanced discussion on the issues, because it has become routine for the hegemons to label those who object to preemptive war and domestic surveillance as traitors, unpatriotic and un-American. The uniformity of support for our current foreign policy by major and cable-news networks should concern every American.” (The hegemons, I might add, have been recently called by William Safire “The Four Horsemen” [Viacom, Disney, Fox, and GE/NBC] most appropriately I think.5 )
And now, this is my country, your country if you are an American reading this. Empire is incompatible with a free Republic. And it is time we ask, “Mr. Bush, what are you doing in our names”?
