Since Bush is the new Hitler, tell me how these two gentlemen are so alike, remember though these similarities cannot reflect on any similarities shown by the Democratic Party, as they are pure and free of sin.

while there are some similarities (like the rabid push of nationalism)... overall, Bush is not hitler... not even really close...
and the dems aren't free of sin... it's just that some people seem to be finding out for the first time that the Republicans aren't either...

It is the older Bush family that has direct ties to the Nazi's and Nazi Germany.
As for Bush himself, a lot of his speeches are very reminiscent of Hitler's speeches, but he lacks the charisma that Hitler had, and also lacks what I call "The Voice" - which is a hypnotic speaking voice which Hitler also had.
A lot of Bush's changes to the government and how he keeps his cabinet and new government agencies and new agendas and the push for a Christian America is exactly the same as Hitler's pushes in German government, plus he was also a fanatic about Christianity - even more so than Bush is. Hitler used an ancient form of the Crucifixion Cross as his party's symbol - but turned on it's side.
The Department of Homeland Security is very reminiscent of the SS, and many people have begun to call America as "Amerika".
Anyway, this is what we get from comparing things using history.
As far as Bush himself goes though, he is probably using very tried and true political speach writing techniques, or his publicists are, so they have the same tinge to them as many other politicians have had in the past. To compare ONLY Bush to Hitler is unfair, and to say that Bush is follower Hitler is also unfair. Even Hitler borrowed from OTHER famous politicians from the past. For the whole politics thing, it is just a wash in the end.

In terms of similarities:
1. They both rose to power as a result of a legitimate democratic elective process. Then both used the power endowed to them by the will of the people to curtail the civil liberties of their constituency on the basis national security and global hegemony.
2. Both Hitler and Bush believe they have a divine mandate to be in power and impose their will on other nations.
3. They both use scapegoats such as Jews (For Hitler) and Islamic terror (For Bush) to mask the domestic issues that were/are affecting their nations.
4. They both attained a level of success that one would not expect considering that they were, from a personal and academic perspective, failures.
5. They both are under the impression that their political and governmental paradigm can be applied to any country, regardless of the culture differences in the aforesaid country they intend on dominating.
6. They both used tragedy to galvanize their bickering citizenry around them. Hitler had the devastation of War World I, and Bush had 9/11.
7. Each man deftly uses propaganda outfits to elicit complicity from the masses. Hitler had Josef Goebbels and the film “Triumph of the Will” and Bush has Karl Rove and Fox News.
8. Both men use/used allusions to historical military events to inspire the unthinking public behind them. Hitler used to invoke the Germanic dynasties of old, and Bush makes reference to the “axis” of evil, which is evocative of World War II, and he uses terms like “Crusade” harkening Christians back to a time when military power, the state, and Christianity had a symbiotic relationship.
9. Both men are prone to fits of rage when contradicted.
10. Both men in the final analysis failed in their political endeavors. Hitler, as history attested did fail. Bush, as the future will soon reveal, will also fail.

All politicians can be compared to any other politician. They are all the same. Especially Democrats and Republicans.

Your question reveals how ignorant you are of history and how venomous you are against your President.
Shame on you.
