This smells more and more like the old nasty dead thing, that "we" experienced on our side of the pound for 60-70 year when Hitler was on the rise to power.. He also claimed what he wanted to do, if he got to power. No one really belived him, becouse what it said was to outraged to be true. He did what he claimed to do, when he got the chanclery in 1933...
You should put Gingerich in the "idiot" label, and just tell him to go away. What he, and many other on the extreme right in US is telling, is what they would do, if they ever got the chance to do it.. Now they also have the tools to do it, with The Patriot Act. the MCA and now the Defense Authorization Act.. As Hitler had his "acts" who specially after the Reichtag fire in 1933, where the communist, and the socialist,and the socialdemocrats was accused of doing the deeds.. (It was a metal disturbed person who lighted the building, even tho Goerings SA, also had plans to set the building on fire) and the fire was used to give Hitler, and the NSDAP more power than ever before... The consequenses was that Hitler could do whatever he wanted to do.. And he did it...
I have been trying to read some of what happening in th US the last couple of year - and I have to say, it is scary to look at the whole affair from abroad. It looks like many americans just dosen't get how dangrous the situation really are, with the fair right as they do in the US.. The few who do read the lines, and understand how dangrous it is, are the one targeted and told to be quite, or else... And Im sad to say, that even DU have just a small percentage of the americans who is able to understand how things are, and try to fight the far right.. And most americans either don't underand, or dosen't care how bad things really are in the US, and as long as they can get their "american gladiator" on the TV, then everyhing is dandy,dandy...
On this case, I really hope, that enough americans dosen't wote for mr Gingrich for Preisdent.. President Obama is maybe not what we hoped for (bot in the US and abroad) but he is far better than any off the current alternatives on the GOP side.. I fear, really with a GOP style President in the US frm 2013, we really all, collectively wil be in a lot of shit we might not ever get up off easely..
US have a lot of nuclear weapons, with the ability to destroy the world, many, many times over.. That was one of the things Hitler dosen't had when he was rampaging the world, and inderectly killed more than 50 million peopole..
How many can a US president on rampage manage to murder before he was stoped.. ?
