This so-called ill treatment and torture in detention centers, stories of which were spread everywhere among the people, and later by the prisoners who were freed… were not, as some assumed, inflicted methodically, but were excesses committed by individual prison guards, their deputies, and men who laid violent hands on the detainees.

Can anyone tell me who said that? Was it:

A) George W. Bush
B) John Ashcroft
C) Donald Rumsfeld
D) Someone else

If you answered “someone else", you’d be right. It was Rudolf Hoess, SS Kommandant of the infamous Auschwitz death camp where over 2.5 million people were murdered.

Conservatives, who love to call Liberals whiny, get whiny as hell when the Bush administration is compared to Nazi Germany, or to fascism in general. Guess what, though? The comparisons are beginning to come through more and more.

Hitler was installed, then re-elected. Bush was installed, then re-elected. Hitler had Reichstag, Bush had 9/11. (I am not implying government collusion in 9/11, FYI) Both used their respective catastrophes to assume more power (Hitler with the Enabling Act, Bush with the USA PATRIOT Act), and to assume dictatorial powers.

Hitler used Christianity to give his words absolute authority and decried any who dissented as unpatriotic. Bush uses Christianity to give his words absolute authority and decries any who dissent as unpatriotic.

Hitler said:

“The German people are not a warlike nation. It is a soldierly one, which means it does not want a war, but does not fear it. It loves peace but also loves its honor and freedom”

Bush said:

We’re pursuing a strategy of freedom around the world, because I understand free nations will reject terror. Free nations will answer the hopes and aspirations of their people. Free nations will help us achieve the peace we all want.

I have rejected this type of comparison of Bush to Hitler for months, because Hitler was a genocidal maniac bent on ruling the world with his ideology. I submit this comparison now because I believe the same to be true of George W. Bush.

George W. Bush will have his empire, and he will kill any person, group, or country that stands in his way. I challenge any of you to tell me why that is not so, as he has already proved it.

Randy speaking now:

Do I agree with this, not completely but there are some valid points that need to be voiced about the current administration. People are all in a tizzy because Condi hasn't been confirmed, but when Bush makes statements that since he was elected he doesn't have to answer to the "misteps" in Iraq, the people have spoken and don't care. Well there are over 58 million people who care and if we can't get Bush to face the music then we sure as hell will hold his buddies to the fire. Bush's time will come, it will be more of a deconstruction of the republican party that he has completely destroyed by pushing it farther and farther right and using hate to gain power. I am glad that Barbara Boxer and other senate dems are asking the tough questions in the Gonzolas and Rice hearings, it needs to be done. Could this have happened say 2 years ago, I don't think so, too many "You're Unpatriotic, You're a Commie" would be flying everywhere. These are still being said but I think America is waking up a bit to the Bush administration's use of Patriotism as a weapon against their detractors. Condie will be confirmed, I have accepted this but I want to see her knocked down a few pegs and for once admit to the administration's mistakes.
