So that I'm clear, Hedges book compares the Nazi rise to power in the 30's to what is occuring in the US today under neocon leadership, guidance and planning by Rove since the 60's. It compares the German peoples response to the threat of dictatorship favorably to the average, fly-over, red state citizens response to the Bush Administration, dominionism, and other positions of the Christian right.
That is the comparision that is chilling, frightening, and most probably fatal to the continuance of the freedoms we used to possess in the USA. As an aside, and only as an aside, I believe the the hard core Zionists in this country have much more in common with the Christian right than most are aware.
I am not anti-Jewish but have never been much of a Zionist. I don't understand how an area of the world that both sides can lay legitimate claim to should be awarded to the Jewish lobbyists of the world by the UN in 1948. You can't displace a bunch of people without the hair going up on someones back.
I don't disagree that progressive thinking comes out of University's. I mean after all, thats where the intellectuals come from that Bush distrusts so.
However, that links above are not in my view uncommon as to the schools, colleges and universitys in the midwest.
Put it this way, your going to find a lot more people interested in ROTC on campus than you will in the ACLU. Thats the way it is in red state country. Actually, most probably don't give a rats ass and are more interested in working for one of Waynes companies.
Sorry Saul but I tend to agree with Underbar here.
