BUSH AND HITLER

Jay Bennish, a teacher in a Colorado high school, has made the news for asking his students to compare Bush with Hitler. Some think these young people need protecting from thoughts about evil and comparisons with our god who we call "President" Bush. News programs air this as if proposing a question is so out of the ordinary it is worth coverage. Where were these news organizations when Bush was tricking the country into supporting a war with an innocent country?
(And now is it Iran's turn? I don't think The People will believe the lies this time.)

News has become spin. Spin for big corporations. Spin for the warfare state.
Sometimes they state facts in an emotional manner to put a slant on the truth. The worst example of this was when David Duke was running for office in Louisiana. He stated his positions and showed how they were "Republican" stances. Yet he was called a racist and President H. W. Bush denounced him, even though it was Bush who was a member of the racist organization, NAACP.

A good friend said Bush W. was a "reincarnation of Lincoln." This would be a good comparison. I've always said Lincoln was worse than Hitler because Hitler could destroy all of Europe and Africa and not do the damage to liberty and mankind that Lincoln did. W. has less to destroy, but he still stomps on the embers of our smouldering freedom.

My comparison would be with John Adams and W. W. is like an uneducated Adams. If Adams were stupid enough to go to war I don't know if he would have been reelected. But war would have ended his thoughts about an Adams monoarchy line.

But I ask you not to agree with me on every issue. I do ask you to agree with me that investigating things, comparing things, and seeking truth, are not crimes. I consider ignorance a crime, but a crime for which we are all punished without need for governments.
