How to Assist Evil

"Engineering Evil" is a documentary recently shown on the Military History channel. It's a story of Nazi Germany's murder campaign before and during World War II. According to some estimates, 16 million Jews and other people died at the hands of Nazis (http://tinyurl.com/6duny9).

Though the Holocaust ranks high among the great human tragedies, most people never consider the most important question: How did Adolf Hitler and the Nazis gain the power that they needed to commit such horror? Focusing solely on the evil of the Holocaust won't get us very far toward the goal of the Jewish slogan "Never Again."

When Hitler came to power, he inherited decades of political consolidation by Otto von Bismarck and later the Weimar Republic that had weakened the political power of local jurisdictions. Through the Enabling Act (1933), whose formal name was "A Law to Remedy the Distress of People and Reich," Hitler gained the power to enact laws with neither the involvement nor the approval of the Reichstag, Germany's parliament. The Enabling Act destroyed any remaining local autonomy. The bottom line is that it was decent Germans who made Hitler's terror possible — Germans who would have never supported his territorial designs and atrocities.

It will be a total win win for America. We will cull the liberals and degenerates soon enough.
They will be easy pickin's.
Most don't have guns, the ones that do can't bear the thought of harming a desert tortoise much less a human being and the rest are terrible shots anyway. We out number remaining LEO's 300 or 400 to 1
Bring on the zombies and lets get America back on track to be the greatest nation in the world once again!

"...it was decent Germans who made Hitler's terror possible."
But none of the cheering masses in THIS country at THIS point in time can see ANY resemblance to their counterparts 75 years ago. Disarm the public? YES!! YES! YES! Confiscate private property "for the good of the people"? Hell YES! Imprison journalists and harass opponents? ALL of that and more!!! Watch, record, and photograph every citizen "for future purposes"? Gotta do it!! Then they got slaughtered.
Keep cheering. But don't ever say "but no one told us!!"
