Interesting in a way. "Those who ignore history are destined to repeat it." Who said that?

Nothing wrong with the qoute(s). I've just seen the same qoute by Goerring several times. I get it already. Just curious if there was anything there other than the ability to copy someone elses thoughts.

Just will, that's what I was looking for. Anyone can throw down a qoute, but it takes a little more to actually substantiate why it's relevant. I would have never posted my question if I had not seen it several times with no supporting remarks. I find your comments interesting, though I don't agree with you.

Yes I actually have quite a few. I choose to use known quotes as they make a point and also show that I am not the only one who has that opinion.

As for the quote: George Santayana

Maybe we're just showing off our ability to do research, find past examples, and show historic precedent for the events that are happening today. There is nothing "special" or "magical" about this war on terror that provides the current President carte blanche to suspend or ignore the Constitution at will and trash our very careful "separation of powers" concept.

The current administration knows quite well the lessons learned in Nazi germany, how a rational and intelligent people can be tricked out of thier moral backbone with a few engineered "incidents". Their leaders, like ours today, are quite open and honest about what they are doing and what they intend, and many Americans smell a ship-full of rats on capitol hill. Meanwhile, the new "brownshirts", with backing of a corporate media, proceed to shout us down at every opportunity with frustrating verbal and physical attacks that make absolutely no sense in the context of a "free" nation.

Unfortunately, many of us "liberals*" are being beaten down for showing you the truth and light, preaching to those that have been brainwashed by the state into believing the world is flat, control is good, and America is infallible when nothing could be further from the truth. Our once great nation is now under very real threat from within. Not by an army, disaster, or foreign religious extremists, but the VERY CONCEPT of representative republic is closer and closer to death with each new law Congress rubber-stamps and Bush signs and then ignores for himself. Typically, those that support this or stand idly by are called TRAITORS. Those that swore an oath to "defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic" and then enforce laws or carry out policies that ignore it are complete back-stabbing traitors, betraying their oath AND betraying the trusting masses of Americans.

"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country"
Hermann Göring 1944(Nazi)

Looks like Dubyas idol was a Nazi, he copied Görings thoughts. I merely expose the origin of his policy.

I do make my own comments from time to time, but I feel sometimes its better to show certain Americans the error of their ways, and what they have become.

I think the quote is most apt, and it illustrates my point very well, so expect to see a lot of it in the future. freedom of speech ya know :)

Freedom. That is what our country was all about. Was.
Now it is all about security. I'm scared. Here take my freedom and make me safe. History repeats itself. That's exactly how Hitler came into power. Now all we need is for one of our elected megalomaniacs to declare Martial Law. Wouldn't that be grand!
