63. We sure DID stop Hitler, well us and the Russian and the Brits and the
French Resistance, too.

No anger there? Russians not a little mad about Operation barbarrossa then?

You're damned right I have too much anger in me. I know that.

But so did the original Tom Paine. Jefferson, Washington, & Franklin, too. It served them well when battling Tyrants.

They could put their anger down for a time if he needed to, as can I.

But I will never agree with you that the Totalitarian Persona/Group can be stopped with civil words and gentle reason.

For the last 20 years, whiole we talked, they shouted. When we reasoned they fabricated lies and a Propaganda Infrastructure to Launder those Lies second to NONE in Human History. We we said "you might have a point there". They said, "Good, you filthy Traitor. Now agree with the rest of it or I am going to start shouting and bullying you again!"

Once I realized that is what we faced, those things went out the window (though as I said I am still capable of reeling them back in for a short time).

No more. No more. THEY started this, by embracing the words (minus the violence and overt racism) of Joseph Goebbels.

Example: From Ann Coulter's Speech to the CPAC, where luminaries like Lynne and Dick Cheney applauded these monstrous words:

“Even fanatical Muslim terrorists don’t hate America like liberals do.”
“When contemplating college liberals, you really regret once again that John Walker is not getting the death penalty. We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed too. Otherwise they will turn into outright traitors.”


Now let's try it just switching liberals to Jews and America to Germany.

“Even fanatical Muslim terrorists don’t hate Germany like Jews do.”
“When contemplating college Jews, you really regret once again that John Walker is not getting the death penalty. We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate Jews, by making them realize that they can be killed too. Otherwise they will turn into outright traitors.”


Actually, that's kind of mild rhetoric for the Mainstream Faux Right.

You wonder why I'm so angry?

I am so angry because my blinders are off and I can now see exactly what we face.

Take yours off, too. Go see F911. That is a start.
