Yeah, basically. In Nazi Germany if you openly opposed Hitler, the SS came to your door at 5am to drag you away to a death camp. Now, if you openly oppose Bush, some conservatives call you a dirty hippie and say you're unpatriotic.

Exactly the same thing. <rolls eyes>

LOL, the ATTITUDE is similar...and, after all, like the right-wing media has been screaming; do you wait until they do act before responding, or do you nip it in the bud early, before the damage is done?

well damgo, i was referring to the earlier stages prior to the death camps. but you might want to stop rolling your eyes and break out a dictionary to understand the difference between the terms "basically" and "exactly", it would be more productive.

Yeah, I see the parallel... isn't there even some famous quote by a Nazi about all governments using patriotism in wartime to demonize political opponents? Was that your sig I saw that in kyleb?

Mind you... seeing that Zero allowed this entire thread which is based on gloating and ridiculing of other people's reviews, it's pretty stupid accusing him of being too strict in his role as moderator here, or abusing his power. Hmm...

The complaining about me 'abusing power' isn't about reality. It is about claiming victim status to get special treatment, a classic strategy. For the most part, one side feels like if it has to compromise, it is being suppressed. It is the same way that some Christian groups claim that their rights are being taken away if they cannot force their views on others 24/7 in every public forum.

I dunno...yeah, why not? And, you could show me how to close one, if you aren't too busy?
