Just the other day I saw the SPeaker of the House Nancy Pelosi say this about the people who have been protesting and asking questions about the National Health Care Reform bill (H.R. 3200).
ANd another Democrat calling the people coming to the meetings using "Brown Shirt" tactics (http://www.columbian.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090806/NEWS02/708069952). For those of you unaware, the Brown Shirts were the followers of members of Hitler's personal security force the SA. So in esenence through these two bit of evidence we see the Democratic leadership trying to brand the opposition as Nazi's. What they fail to understand is what the Nazi's actually stood for and against. Here is a refersher for those who are bad with history.
Well, the Nazis were against big business — they hated big business. They were insanely, irrationally against pollution. They had a whole bunch of make-work projects to keep people working. They were for abortion and euthanasia of the undesirables, and they were for cradle-to-grave nationalized healthcare. (this is an excerpt from a Rush Limbaugh broadcast that I took from the following news article: http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/pelosi_limbaush_swastikas/2009/08/07/245316.html).
So tell me again that I am facist or a Nazi when in all honest the platform of the Democratice National Committee, the President of the United States, the Speaker of the Hosue and the House Majority Leader are closer to the Nazi's than most conservatives.
