There are definite similarities between then and now in terms of the propaganda, imagined enemies, unconstitutional actions, abuses of power,erosion of civil liberties, and ignorance and apathy. No doubt about that. But the article suffers from unhelpful generalisations. The German people have never been cowards and its a terrible insult to say that. Neither are Americans.

Thanks, yadda yadda for putting it in perspective. Yes, many things this administration and country have done suck. Badly, and I'm pissed off. But the comparisons are insulting, and tenuous, at best. They are also insulting to the millions and millions, both citizens of the country's that Nazi Germany killed, as well as the concentration camp victims. Funny how it's ALWAYS the Nazi's who are attacked (they should be, I lost some not so distant relatives in the shoah) But are negative comparisons to Japan ever brought up? With all of their massacres of other cultures from around 1932-1945? No? Not really acknowledged. Or some of the other genocidal maniacs we've at times helped, like pol pot.

The loss of freedom is simular that's how every dictator started.....and they have a concentration camp in Cuba which has legal torture and no trial needed for suspected "terrorist."......democracy in action! The "Patriot Act".....should be called the "Idiot take your freedoms away Act.
