Then & Now – Hitler & Obama

So dictatorship didn’t happen overnight.  It took 5 years, gradually, little by little to escalate to a dictatorship,” Katie Worthman, a survivor of the Natzi regime stated about the coming to power of Adolf Hitler.  She explains how people became so desperate for change, that they elected and then turned over all control to the man who spoke so eloquently and promised a better life for those who had been oppressed.  But the state would eventually take complete control via centralization.  The political, economic, religious, education, healthcare, agricultural and communication systems became state-controlled bureaucracies.  There are so many parallels between what happened in Germany in the 1930’s and what has been happening in America over the past decade – even the purpose and installation of Germany’s Gestapo can be lined up with The U.S. Homeland Security initiatives.

Take a few steps back and look objectively at the situation!

When the people fear the government – that’s tyranny!
But when the government fears the people, that’s liberty!
