But it does make me sad to hear you characterize Greenwald as an Obama attacker. I admit I don't read him all the time, but I'd think you'd want him or others (like CCR and the ACLU) watchdogging and struggling against the various unconstitutional policies and actions of this administration, as you did the last. I do have some sympathy for the amount of energy it must cause you to avoid seeing this trend.

Keep up the good work

I think Mein Kampf has always been with us Momoe, with U.S.

But the media just lets it slide now. Really strange.

This is really interesting.

This is really interesting. I can't wait for the next part. It has been a very long time since I read it. When we were in college, Mein Kampf, Karl Marks and Silent Spring ended up required reading. If someone would have said 40 years in the future we will see Hitler's kind of rational in US politics, I would have called them crazy. As it turns out half the country is now crazy.

Sorry I was late getting to this. Busy with GOTV.

What? Greenwald is attacking the fascists again when he could be spending all his good time bashing our President?

I saw a short story on this in TPM I think...the Pentagon is looking into this...or some such.

This Alaskan candidate does make Murkowski look rather sane does he not? I can just see the guy sitting with Inhofe and DeMint sipping on brandies and discussing the abolition of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution:

Well, it would be a start, remarked Senator Inhofe. hahahahaahah

Richard, did you see that the Republican candidate for the Senate in Alaska used ACTIVE DUTY military to 'arrest' and detain one reporter, and intimidate a few others at his recent campaign event in Alaska?

It is against the law for active duty military to work in campaigns, and a GOP Senate candidate didn't know that?

See Greenwald at Salon.

This bunch will not be content until they use every facet of government to run or ruin the lives of people who don't 'measure up' or who ask too many questions.

This is stark to me. I am seeing more than just parallels in the messages of the German Fascists and the American Fascists. Repub writers have definitely read and catalogued Mein Kampf.

We had the fascist movement in this country during the first half of the 20th century as you point out. And our corporations--how a corporation can be 'ours' is beyond me since corps have no allegiance to nations anyway--helped build the Reich.

The fight will continue forever as far as I can tell.

Well, like two thirds of my posts lately, this blog is not catching on fire and that certainly adds to my Kampf.

It is an interesting read though. It has to have been four decades since I real this filth.

Sometimes people like Bachmann or Tancredo can be seen to have actually quoted Der Fuhrer word for word. Sometimes 'Jew' is simply fatigued into 'liberal' or 'progressive', but the sentences remain the same.

I am going to continue on this quest, probably not reposting my chapters here.

I was thinking of writing a book, Mein Kampf, Mein Self, which would focus on just what it is that makes me kampf out of bed in the morning.

The most effective way to rid a nation of the 'inferior' is sterilization, then you don't have to worry about the babies. This is known as eugenics, a field developed in late 19th century Britain and first put into action in the good ole USA beginning in the early 1900's and extending into the 1950's. Thousands or tens of thousands of Americans were sterilized involuntarily in states across the US over that period, with the full backing of courts, politicians, the big foundations and think tanks, and the doctors who performed the surgery.

Edwin Black discussed this topic in his book, War Against the Weak and America's Campaign to Create a Master Race, and he also documented how a subsidiary of IBM, with full support of its US parent company, helped Nazi Germany gather data, record it on punch cards, and tabulate the data to find and eliminate the 'inferior races' that were diluting the blood of the 'master race'. It was one of the many 'gifts' of the Nazi's to take eugenics, an American policy of the era, to the extreme, showing the sadistic and cruel end point of the policy

This history is something to keep in mind when the GOP demagogues talk about who deserves to be a citizen in their view, and who is not 'entitled' to citizenship. It is not likely to end with the initial restrictions.
