Bush like Hitler, says first Muslim in Congresshttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/07/14/wbush114.xml
- America's first Muslim congressman has provoked outrage by apparently comparing President George W Bush to Adolf Hitler and hinting that he might have been responsible for the September 11 attacks.
Addressing a gathering of atheists in his home state of Minnesota, Keith Ellison, a Democrat, compared the 9/11 atrocities to the destruction of the Reichstag, the German parliament, in 1933. This was probably burned down by the Nazis in order to justify Hitler's later seizure of emergency powers.
Can we please stop with the damned Hitler comparisons? They are so tiresome. Why does the Left try to paint Conservatives (and Bush) with this brush? That’s a rhetorical question, by the way. They’re counting on the general public’s total ignorance of history, and courting visceral reactions instead of reasoned argument.
Whenever I hear someone refer to a conservative as a Nazi, here is the argument I offer.
Here are some of the traits of Hitler and his Nazi party, which roughly translates as the ‘National Socialist Party.’
1. Believed all business should be run by the State, and all profits made by that business should be the property of the State.

1. Believed all business should be run by the State, and all profits made by that business should be the property of the State.
2. Despised personal profit as greedy and against the good of the state.
3. Believed in a strong, state-run education system to instill the ideologies of “the party” counter to the teachings of parents and families.
4. Had full run of the media, and used it exclusively to propagandize the views of the party.
5. Sought to tighten regulations on business, and to absorb the economies of others to compensate when their economic system weakened.
6. Was anti-gun. Implemented and then enforced a national confiscation of firearms.
7. Was pro-abortion.
8. Was pro-euthanasia.
9. Was pro-eugenics.
10. Was an animal-rights activist.
11. Was vegetarian.
12. Believed personal sexual fetishes were fine and a private matter, especially for politicians.
13. Hated Christianity and was anti-religion in general, though tried to use the church for political support when needed.
14. Was a vehement anti-smoker, and wanted to ban all smoking nationally.
15. Believed in national healthcare as part of their platform.
16. Tried to enforce national exercise programs for both the physical and fiscal health of the State.
Does this sound more like today’s American Christian conservative, or the left wing of the Democrat party?
