Learning from Adolf
From WingNut Daily, on how to deport 12 million brown people:
" >Not only will it work, but one can easily estimate how long it would take. If it took the Germans less than four years to rid themselves of 6 million Jews, many of whom spoke German and were fully integrated into German society, it couldn't possibly take more than eight years to deport 12 million illegal aliens, many of whom don't speak English and are not integrated into American society.
Yes, that's right, they used the extermination of the Jews as an example of how to do logistics right.
Next in the WingNut Daily series, 101 Happy Hitlerisms, "How to balancce the federal budget - invasions and their benefits", "Solving the healthcare crisis the Auschwitz way", and "Guantanamo is so last year - make way for Malkin-wald, Rush-witz and Coulter-Belsen".
History has so much to teach, and these days, such willing students.
The Final Solution?
They aren't even really accurate! What do they mean about the Nazis ridding themselves of 6 million Jews? If they mean the final solution, that was starting in 1942, not 1939. Or if they mean the totality of the German attack on Jews, that started in 1938 with Kristalnacht or, arguably, starting as early as 1933 when the Nazis first came to power and started marginalizing the Jews. So they don't even have the time scale of the Holocaust right.
One thing that keeps haunting me about the current Republican machine: they simultaneously justify torture AND justify the detention without due process of anyone SUSPECTED of terrorism. Put the two together and you have a frightening scenario. Now add the anti-immigration issue (often connected with right wing extremists in Europe) AND now looking to the Nazis for inspiration on how to deal with immigrants and things are starting to look all too familiar.
When is it time to leave? And when is it too late?
