"The people yearned for a leader who would do for them what democracy could not." This is a quote from the book Hitlers Cross
by Erwin Lutzer. Reading the similarities of then Germany, and now America, is quite shocking. Seeing how people consider the USA a democracy and how disappointed they have been the past eight years, is it any wonder that a seemingly socialistic (communistic) candidate was elected to President of the United States? What does this mean for you and me? What does this mean for America? "Democracy might be preferable when times are good; a dictatorship works best when times are bad." The worldwide depression of 1929 gave Hitler the opportunity he sought and on the verge of a possible depression in America, one can only imagine the opportunity Pres. Obama has. With unemployment on the rise, the stock market dropping like it is, and the foreclosures of countless homes, America is ripe for a elegant orator to sweep them off their feet and promise them that he will turn this ship around. I hope he can and does straighten this mess out, but there is nothing evident of that happening right now. Are we naive to think that Nazi Germany cannot happen again? Is it happening here in the good old USA? I hope not. Well, what do you think comrades?
