It was a troubling time..a Time of Recession..Prices UP.. Employment Down.. RUNAWAY INFLATION,, Rumors,,MOSTLY LIES,, abounded in the quest for answers,, Manufacturing and Industry a shell of what they once were..SOME called it a DEPRESSION..Others argued that it would SOON pass..It was WORLDWIDE but FEW people KNEW of this..THEY were told that it was Local..That their problems were the result of Faulty Leadership,, that they were the victims of Lies..

Seemingly out of nowhere there arose a Figure of Inspiration who preached the message of change..He spoke of the nation’s past Greatnesses and promised a Change that would RESTORE that Greatness..He spoke of the problems and IDENTIFIED the Villians while PROMISING that HE and HE alone had the answers and the solutions..

And the people Listened..

His speeches were mesmerizing,, his Manner Confident.. His demeanor demanded,, and received,, Adoration and Inspiration from the masses whenever and wherever he spoke.. MANY would gladly DIE for him.. NONE questioned his Leadership abilities and NONE questioned WHERE he was leading them and in the end,,they PAID a DEAR and HEAVY PRICE for that..

The Place,,Germany..The TIME,,,, the Thirties ..The Leader,,Adolph Hitler..

And we ALL know the rest of THAT story..

Leadership is NOT nearly so important to know as IS the DESTINATION..It is a Lesson that HISTORY teaches time and time again…

Great Governments do NOT make a GREAT Nation OR a GREAT People..

Great PEOPLE make a GOVERNMENT Great and THAT is the ESSENCE of a GREAT NATION..

Hey Hawk , don't pick on Hitler/Obama . You do have to admit that Hitler did keep his campaign promises ! Perhaps Obama will do the same , lets see Hitler promised to take from the jews and give to the poor (he did that) he also promised to restore German industry and its place in the world ...he did all of that . LOL
So giving Obama his due , he has promised to take from the “rich” and give to the poor (he may do that , kill all the “rich” people destroy all the big businesses and throw a welfare party with the cash) ....as far as the rest of Obama's message he has promised that HIGH TAXES will some how magically halt inflation and that we must take a much smaller position in the world, I am sure that he can archive the second half of that one.

Believe it or not,, THIS is NOT so much a post about Obama or EVEN Hitler as it was intended to demonstrate how people can be moved to put such people AS Hitler in Power..And the other side can say the Same for ANY individual who rises to the top by virtue of a Campaign of FEAR based on Doom and Gloom..And THEY’S be RIGHT..

We have people on this site who search the most Negative of websites for the most negative of OPINIONS and present such as INDISPUTABLE Facts..They RARELY are… OFTEN if one READS the Articles that are “Cut and Pasted” carefully and THEN read the accompanied Commentary one might even see where the Doomer and Gloomer has Little understanding of their OWN post.. OFTEN the Post is saying ONE thing while the Author CLAIMS that it’s saying something else..In ANY event..They are STILL only opinions..

The PURPOSE of the Doomers and Gloomers,, HERE as in the Germany of the thirties,, is CLEAR..To convince EVERYONE that EVERYBODY is having a Terrible time of it..To Convince EVERYONE that EVERYBODY believes this and to convince EVERYONE that EVERYBODY wants the SAME kind of Change brought ABOUT..They forget that Change without an understanding of INTENT is Dangerous..
Hitler changed Germany and it led to their DOOM..

Desparation makes for POOR and Desparate choices and a Desparate People,, in ANY situation,, OFTEN Leap before they Look..MORE often then NOT that results in the proverbial “Frying Pan into the Fire” result…

The LAST thing that these people want is for a decision to be based on Intellident aforethought..FEAR is such a POWERFUL tool and M

The LAST thing that these people want is for a decision to be based on Intellident aforethought..FEAR is such a POWERFUL tool and Much EASIER to establish..

I see what you are talking about , and it is a very good point. Funny that the run up to the 06 election had the democrats yelling about “Conservatives” using fear as being a bad thing but they wield it with impunity ! And to compound the stupidity of the situation they expect to “replace fear” with uncertainty! ...RE: no plan no ideas just the message that “I am not George Bush” and whatever I do will be somehow “good” ....P T Barnum talked about this exploitable population we call liberals a lot.

...I remember Jimmy , funny thing is that a lot of people want to rewrite their own history now and say they did not “like” Jimmy back then...thats nuts ! I was there and it was not possible to not like Jimmy and everything he stood for, but we should have learned from him that his “ideas” where great but pure fantasy in the real world !

EXACTLY why I said..Remember Jimmy Carter..HE FOOLED Everybody...

I didn't so much "Like" Jimmy as I thought that he was a naive and innocent man in over his head..I thought that HE was a DISASTER as a President but a Good Man nonetheless..I held that view ALL through his Habitat years..It wasn't until he attempted to REVISE his History at the expense of his own Country's standing in the world that I began to see the REAL Jimmy Carter..NOW I see him as a FULL BLOWN TRAITOR to his Country,, a SUPPORTER of DICTATORS and TERROISTS and a THOROUGHLY DESPICABLE MAN...

With all the attention on Sarah Palin's children, it seems to me there should be at LEAST a little scrutiny on Biden's children.
Whats fair is fair:
