Bush is no Hitler

It is much better to compare him to Nicolae Ceausescu.

Very Incompetant
"Another disastrous policy was Ceausescu's refusal to acknowledge the presence of AIDS in the population. He forbade testing of the blood supply; because of this and because Romania allowed the use of shared needles in transfusions for orphans, Romania had over half the cases of childhood AIDS infections in Europe."

Hypocrisy
"Under Ceausescu, Romania was Europe's fourth biggest exporter of weapons. Nevertheless, several of Ceausescu's actions suggest that one of his ambitions was to win a Nobel Prize for peace"
Like Bush, is he a Peace President or a War President?

Uncle Bucky
"Ceausescu also invested his wife Elena and other members of his family with important positions in the government."

Where have I heard that name before? Could it be? Is * the Nicolae?

What does this do to our Rapture index?

He has also been compared to Mussolini, but I think that is a bit unfair to Mussolini. Il Duce, after all, was a skilled politician (however much of an idiot he was, like Bush, as commander-in-chief) and didn't inherit the throne from his father, like Bush did.

Ceaucescu is an appropriate comparison.

Who knows what horrors are going on undetected.

on the payroll. Give him a few more years, and Hitler and Stalin will have to move over.

Hitler (for all his craziness) was a brilliant strategist.

Even he would never had invaded Iraq.

and declared war on the United States. Doesn't seem that brilliant to me.

The Germans knocked the crappy Russian army out of the First World War, but couldn't overcome the Franco-English alliance.

Fast forward to WWII, where the German blitzkrieg cuts the Franco-English alliance to pieces in less than a month. The Soviet army, wrecked by Stalinist purges and mismanagement, invades the tiny nation of Finland and proceeds to get their butts kicked by the Finns. It is also well known that there are millions of people in places like the Ukraine who hate their Soviet overlords and would love to be able to throw off that yoke.

Now of course the invasion did turn out to be an enormous disaster in retrospect... but at the time Hitler had very good reasons to believe that all he needed to do was "kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down".

"Hitler (for all his craziness) was a brilliant strategist. Even he would never had invaded Iraq."

Hitler invaded Russia! Real smart move, almost brilliant! NOT!

As powerful and influential as he was, I don't think Adolf Hitler was flush with as much self-importance as the little monkey is. Bush really thinks he is the greatest thing to ever grace God's Green Earth. Ceaucescu had that grossly over-inflated opinion of himself, and it was to his ruin.

One historian of the Third Reich points out that once Hitler's wishes were commonly known, people, especially party members, started initiating things themselves, thus giving him deniability. In many cases that was not particularly the intent: they just wanted to be viewed as loyal party members and seek favor in the eyes of he and his henchmen. He often didn't even have to give any direct orders. Think about that for a while . . .any of that sound familiar?

They do have a lot in common though, especially the psychopathic parts.

he didn't destroy it

incompetent incompetent incompetent is right

Or don't you care about the death of 100,000 Iraqis/

Bush is going to have to kill a whole hell of a lot more people before he rivals Hitler, Stalin, or even a piker like Pol Pot. This isn't to dismiss or make light of the deaths of innocent Iraqis -- I'm just saying that history offers plenty of examples of far worse atrocities. Hitler's victims alone number in the tens of millions, as do Stalin's. You do injustice to their memory when you put Bush on the same level as their killers.

He is the mask of a power gone far more wrong than Hitler.

That power discriminates only against human beings who are economically lessor (not knowlegeably or spiritually or existentially MORE endowed). That power KILLS the potential of humanity in sacrifice of the worst of human weakness.

It's true.

BUSH IS WORSE THAN HITLER!!! BUSH IS FAR, FAR WORSE THAN HITLER!!!

Encountered Ceausescu's and his wife's dead bodies in a field near
bucharest after the summary executions. He said they were just rotten
corpses in death, nothing profound.

In the Ramayana, the Hindu holy book, when Rama killed the demon Ravana,
the lord of the 10 worlds, Hanuman, one of Rama's warrior tribe came to
ask Rama about his death.

Rama replied that Hanuman should go to ask Ravana's corpse. So Hanuman
went to the dead demon and asked. He returned to Rama and said, "He
said nothing." Rama asked which end of the giant Demon's body did
Hanuman ask, the "head" end, or the "feet" end. Hanuman replied, "the
head end."

"That is why." said Rama, "Try his 'feet' end."

So Hanuman went back to the great demon who rules this universe even
today through his minions like the GOP. On humbly bowing before the
great demon's feet and asking humbly for enlightenment, Ravana's body
sat up straight.

"Look at me Hanuman and become wise. I am the ruler of the known
universe (10 worlds) and even with all the powers i have, here i have
died and it is all gone. Lord Yama (death) has taken everything and
now everything i lived for is erased forever."

Oddly, they are all very pro-Bush. I asked my co-worker why, and she said it was because "socialism doesn't work." I tried pointing out that the Bush regime has been "disappearing" people lik the Ceaucesku regime did, pointing out other similarities, but she just did not get it. She also believes dinosaurs never existed. :shrug:

So many people i've met in europe who opposed the evil of the soviet
communism and its offshoots like ceaucescu hear the message of "freedom"
and are stirred. They believe the media are genuine, that the bush
people are genuine. They're pure-hearted folks who do not see the
real actions, rather the rhetoric only, and how can they know different?

Is that not our own job as "citizens" of Rome, to know an evil emperor
by his evil acts. There is no question that great evil was done in
Romania, that the republicans supported it, and that, even today, there
is much yet to be cleaned up in that place.

Yet, having endured such strife, can we expect those oppressed peoples,
who starved, lost loved ones, and survied the horrible evils of the
only kind of government republicans support.... how can such people
accept that it was all a lie, that they starved and died for an evil
as ugly as the one they overcame. It is a bewildering truth, that
so many people are not ready to face.

anti christ..

Bush is bringing America into one

that when it's all said and done.
Hitler, Ceausescu and all the other evil dictators throughout history will come across as pretty nice guys compared to bush and co.
That is unless the nation wakes up and impeache them of course.
I'm not holding my breath for that to happen. :(
