Bush compared to Hitler: New Article, page 1

I'm amazed how folks can take an evil, twisted phenomenon like the Hitler and make comparisons to someone like Bush, etc. etc. Seems to me like that is simply to bait and hassle his supporters.

Bush and his government are not evil. They are, instead, a result of the what "We, the People" have become in the past 60+ years since WWII. You can laugh at Bush. You can hate Bush and his cronies. You may revile him in your mind and heart to the point of hatred, but he is the direct outcome of what we have become. For better or worse, he representative of us, as a culture.

If you want something better, then you need to get off your collective duffs, get out from behind the keyboards and begin to get actively involved in working for change. there's an old acronym in data processing that is used to describe inanity, or just plain lazy ineptitude. PEBCAK ... Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard. Or as Pogo, an old comic strip character, once said, "We has met the enemy and he is us"!

We were left with two, less than stellar, options for Presidential candidacy last election. Many of us sat around and decried Bush and his hooligans vs. Kerry and his hooligans. Some of us saw that there was really no marked difference in the two, save for political afiliation. But most of us did not do much more than sit around the keyboards and type in vituperation.

Ya gotta get past the invective. Ya gotta quit baiting each other with inflammatory Bull-Dada. Ya gotta work for change. It's not easy, and most folks can't be bothered, other than to complain when it, finally, affects them personally. By then it's too late. If you want change.... If you don't like Bush then get busy now, and begin to work on a new shape of the future. It isn't easy! But, it's the tools that our fathers left us to work political change.

I find the emotional attempt to compare Bush to Hitler is irrelevent, laughable, and usually made by people who have no real inkling of just how evil that real evil can be. Someone doing something you don't like doesn't make them evil. It only makes them free to get out and impose their vision and will, because we, collectively, do nothing to change the outcome.

I'm nobody, but I find this discussion trivial and probably a real waste of space. I've done my share of that here, as well, and for that I apologize.
I just find it sad when so many very smart, and otherwise, impressive people lose sight of the actual goals and outcomes and sink to this sort of flummery.

Hitler? Bah! Bush isn't an evil pimple on the butt of true evil.

Edited to spell "very" correctly...
