Vlad the Impaler not only believed in socialized health care, he performed many surgeries himself.

[geek tragedy]

6. Hitler didn't have Obama's annoying religiousity.

And he certainly didn't suck up to the Zionists!

:sarcasm:

Sarcasm noted just to be safe.

Conservatives are Social/Political Bullies who disrupt distract destroy ...they demand their way or tantrums follow.

They are the Brown Shirts when organized.....

16. Great, now DU is comparing Obama to Hitler.

[Drunken Irishman]

20. I think you're missing the point...

It's mocking a current meme going around that Reagan was more liberal than Obama. :eyes:

[vaberella]

23. It's sarcasm/satire...or whatever. Not a real comparison. n/t

[Spazito]

17. I am laughing at your OP knowing the reason for it but...

I am also :wow: at the fact there are threads/posts positing 'Obama is more conservative than Nixon and Reagan' and they are serious about it! Beyond bizarre, lol.

[old mark]

18. Hitler was very effective in ending unemployment... He was also a

borh and raised Roman Catholic, a non-smoker and nnon-drinker and a vegetarian. He loved classical music and dogs.

25. Opposites hide inside of each other.

and the universe does not want to be rubricated so easily by our arrogant linear thinking.

[RoyGBiv]

27. Hmmm ... interesting

Well, if we combine this idea with the article the other day that said Obama needs to drop the "no drama" bit and start freaking out by pounding his fists into tables, then I think it's safe to say certain among the blogging community wish he were quite a bit more like Hitler.

[Robb]

30. Kick for the evening. nt

[Bad Thoughts]

31. Some actual history, perhaps?

The animal rights movement in Germany, unlike in England and the United States, was a vehicle for antisemitism. It was seen as a strategy for disempowering German-Jewish biologist and medical researchers as well as to undermine Jewish support of the food industry.

Heimatschutz and Landschaftschutz(environmental protection) were well established in law and social practice by the 1900s.

Populist conservatives, social democrats and Catholic socialists had already contributed significantly to public health. It was first established in 1883. The last major reform of health insurance was in 1926. Laws of the Third Reich tipped the scale toward private insurance. Hitler's only real contribution was eugenics: euthanasia and sterilization.

[boppers]

43. Eugenics via sterilization was an American idea.

He was copying the social practices instituted by the founder of Planned Parenthood.

No, I'm not joking. I'm dead serious.

Of course, such a simplification leaves a lot out, such as context (known science at the time, social issues of the time), but it's useful to look back at history and find the breadcrumbs to where we find ourselves now.

[spoony]

32. You are a full on hack.

There's just no other way to say it.

[Robb]

35. I believe this is where the kids say
