That Voodoo That You Do So Well
Sarah Palin, Thursday night:
Thomas Sowell, as linked by Sarah Palin:
Is U.S. Now On Slippery Slope To Tyranny?
When Adolf Hitler was building up the Nazi movement in the 1920s, leading up to his taking power in the 1930s, he deliberately sought to activate people who did not normally pay much attention to politics…
When Franklin D. Roosevelt arbitrarily took the United States off the gold standard, he cited a law passed during the First World War to prevent trading with the country’s wartime enemies. But there was no war when FDR ended the gold standard’s restrictions on the printing of money.
At about the same time, during the worldwide Great Depression, the German Reichstag passed a law “for the relief of the German people.”
That law gave Hitler dictatorial powers that were used for things going far beyond the relief of the German people — indeed, powers that ultimately brought a rain of destruction down on the German people and on others.
If the agreement with BP was an isolated event, perhaps we might hope that it would not be a precedent. But there is nothing isolated about it.
The man appointed by President Obama to dispense BP’s money as the administration sees fit, to whomever it sees fit, is only the latest in a long line of presidentially appointed “czars” controlling different parts of the economy, without even having to be confirmed by the Senate, as Cabinet members are.
Those who cannot see beyond the immediate events to the issues of arbitrary power — vs. the rule of law and the preservation of freedom — are the “useful idiots” of our time. But useful to whom?
Sarah Palin, Friday night:
Can America sue for whiplash?
No, Sarah, you never compared Obama to Hitler… you simply justified your criticism of the president by linking to an article whose very first sentence compares Obama to Hitler.
Right and I never referred to the Talibunny as a whackjob fundamentalist pole dancer for the neonazi right.
We’re even, I guess.
@FlyingChainSaw: “a whackjob fundamentalist pole dancer for the neonazi right”
Perfect, absolutely perfect. Deserves to be enshrined in Bartlett’s and Wikiquotes and all compendia whatsoever of witticisms, aphorisms, apothegms, maxims, immortal truths, insults, epigrams, etc.
