We Are All German Jews Now
Take the time, please, for this brief essay from Whiskey And Gunpowder.
Set-up for the author's point:
***
...The ultimate horrors in Nazi Germany were, indeed, much more terrible than anything close to what has occurred so far in America. But one should do more than only consider just the ultimate horrors of what went on in Nazi Germany. One must think about the road that was traveled by the Germans to get to that point.
I believe one of the most serious misunderstandings about totalitarianism is that it arrives as a full package that requires no assembly. That it is put on the people, like a winter coat. All at one time, and in full view for all to see.
This is a grave misunderstanding...

Read the rest, and pass it on.

is the slow and subtle method of installing tyranny upon a nation. We have witnessed and permitted a "long train of abuses and usurpations" and now we find ourselves on the precipice of a great fall into despotism.
When enough people wake up from their slumber it will be too late...indeed I suspect we have passed that point and need only to wait for the real brutal boot of tyranny to stomp on our lives and the lives of our progeny.
Shame on you America! Shame on all of us. We have allowed this to happen.

It arrives as a full package. Just like handguns and fully loaded clips......

Our friends at Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, who care about ALL of the Bill of Rights, aren't offended by the comparison. Actually, they agree that we've been GJs for years. They've been trying to tell us all. They get desperate letters from Holocaust survivors still, people who have a distinct feeling they've seen it before.
Fedgov would call them "naturalized extremists," I guess.
It's difficult getting people to listen, in the land of "Don't worry, be happy, don't come around me with your negativity, man."
Defender,
with you all the way. Nobody wants to wake up to the elephant in the living room, so the few of us that see it will have to just close our mouth until it finally steps on one of them. Then they'll all act like they saw it first. Basic human nature.
And to all of you, have a very happy Thanksgiving. We still have a lot to be thankful for.

Al Sharpton says the FCC should regulate speech of conservative talk media to prevent people from being offended.
Ironic, in light of the Frederick Douglass quote above, eh?
