Time magazine has named Karl Rove as the "Man of the Year." The controling political party changed Congressional rules to keep the Speaker of the House from being suspended for being charged with a crime. Our President is under pressure from his own party to appoint to the Supreme Court only those judges who will abolish some established Constitutional rights. Legislation has already suspended some of those important rights. And a Constitutional ammendment is being heavily promoted to allow a man born in Austria to run for President of our country.

Am I the only one who sees similarities with this and events in Germany in 1935-1936?

Thanks,

The similarites are indeed frightening. But there is no point dwelling in fear -- that can be exploited as the recent election shows.

Quote:
“I must not fear
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass
Over me and through me.
And when it has gone past
I will turn the inner eye
To see its path.
Where the fear has gone
There will be nothing.
Only I will remain.....”

-Frank Herbert
