The Hitler/Obama comparison

I read this from a commenter that goes by the name of "Dream Team" on KSLs website after an article that had nothing to do with this, but the comments led him to making this statement.

I found it interesting the connection he made.

"I thought I would never be able to experience what the ordinary, moral German felt in the mid-1930s. In those times,the savior was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing.. What they did know was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed, he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory and promises.. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully them into submission. And then he was duly elected to office, with a full-throttled economic crisis at hand (the Great Depression). Slowly but surely he seized the controls of government power, department by department, person by person, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The kids joined a Youth Movement in his name,where they were taught what to think. How did he get the people on his side? He did it promising jobs to the jobless, money to the moneyless, and the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe, and across the world. He did it with a compliant media-Did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and....Change. And the people surely got what they voted for. (Look it up if you think I'm exaggerating) Read your history books. Many people objected in 1933. Don't forget that Germany was the most educated, cultured country in Europe. It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals,laboratories, and universities. And in less than six years- a shorter time span than just two terms of the U.S. presidency- it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, aborogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors. All with the best of intentions, of course.
I've never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now. This man (Obama) campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. CHANGE is indeed coming. And when it comes, we will never see the same nation again.
Just like you know who."

Better get nationalized health care passed before any one finds out...

that England and Canada are going back towards private health care. Better not put that on the news, it would be terrible if people new the truth about public health care.

I don't have experience with state run health care, but I found this comment left after this article on forbes.com interesting.

"Democrats will do to the medical industry what they've done to schooling: made it public, and made it sub-standard, and far from world class.
I am on the NJ state plan for health care and it's "horrible" in the words of my physician, and I agree. I am on the plan because NJ "crowded out" my college alumni health insurance which was affordable and would cover major medical. The alumni insurance is available in 48 states except New York and NJ due to overregulation meaning the insurance is mandated to cover an enormous amount of services, many of which I don't even want. Therefore, because so many other insurances are also "crowded out" of New Jersey the remaining available ones are too expensive.I am now waiting on my appeal for an MRI, which has been denied. I have injured my neck so severely that my hearing is cutting in and out intermittently, like a broken stereo speaker, and I'm having sudden dizzy spells. I am 49 and in excellent health, otherwise. I have used the insurance very little, but my doctor said he expected them to deny the MRI even though it is obvious that I need it. Now I'm living on Vicodin for the last 2 months until this gets sorted out. If it ever gets sorted out. I don't have a lot of hope. The doctor said he may have to send me to an expensive specialist in order to get the MRI approved through that doctor. He said the state system was extremely wasteful and complicated.I have processed insurance claims for doctors professionally for several years, and I have never dealt with a more dysfunctional system than the NJ state system. From the very beginning, it took more than 15 phone calls for them to get the original sign-up right. THEN, when they gave me a list of doctors to call, all 30 (THIRTY!) phone numbers were invalid. The phone numbers went to teenagers cell phones, disconnected numbers and offices that said they'd never had taken the state insurance ever. I wish this plan on all liberals."
