Iĺl make it easier for you. Hitler became Chancellor on the 30th of February 1933. The Mass killings didnt start by the SS until 1939. Six years.
I think someone needs to brush up on his History..
For the last time, I was comparing Bush to Hitler, BUSH TO HITLER, not BUSH TO FASCISM.
You can shoot definitions at me all you want and take the literal context of what you want, but that will never change the fact that we are not in a fascist government, millions of people in the US are not being killed off in favor of a single "Aryan race", I don't think Bush has a heavy connection to the occult.

(The Observer,Sunday November 2 2003)
President George W. Bush stood before a cheering crowd at a Dallas Christian youth centre last week, and told them about being 'born again' as a Christian.
Behind Bush were two banners. 'King of Kings', proclaimed one. 'Lord of Lords', said the other. The symbolism of how fervent Christianity has become deeply entwined with the most powerful man on the planet could not have been stronger....
Bush is already under fire for allowing the appointment of General William Boykin to head the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Boykin, who speaks at evangelical Christian meetings, once said the war on terror was a fight against Satan, and also told a Somali warlord that, 'My God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God and his was an idol.'
Bush has also been accused of a 'creeping Christianisation' of federal government programmes. In September, the government made more than $60 billion available for religious charitable groups. Critics say the groups will be able to use the cash to promote their religion. One group that benefited from previous grants was an Iowa prison project that entitled inmates to televisions, private bathrooms and computers - in return for Christian counselling....
Bush told a Texan evangelist that he had had a premonition of some form of national disaster happening.
Bush said to James Robinson: 'I feel like God wants me to run for President. I can't explain it, but I sense my country is going to need me. Something is going to happen... I know it won't be easy on me or my family, but God wants me to do it.'

He ended up using the church to get elected where he said all kinds of things political hopefuls say to get the religious vote, then did a 180 on them and burned most of the Churchs down.

Did anyone read my most recent post?
Someone said Fascism is when corporations run a government, since when?
Fascism is capitalism at the stage of impotent imperialism. War can create markets that would not otherwise exist by wreaking massive devastation on a society, which then requires reconstruction! Fascism can thus "liberate" the survivors, provide huge loans to that society so fascist corporations can begin the process of rebuilding.
And yes, I do know my history for those of you who are doubtful,
you're the ones reading too much into what I've said instead taking it for its proper meaning.
Simply looking to vent off misdirected anger is all anyone is doing on this thread.
There is no basis for the Bush to Hitler comparison. We are nearly 8 years into his "regime" as some of you might put it and still no martial law and he's on the way out.
And who would attack someone's signature? How desperate do you have to be?

Where? All it said was Jehovers (who refused to fit in, that was silly of them and Priests who would not toe the party line. Synagogues were burned down, but that goes whithout saying as the Jews were the untermenschen.
Problem wasn't that, it was that Rome didn't know how to fix it when it was broken so they pretended it wasn't broken till it all came tumbling down. Rome, like Germany should have listened to ther Generals
Romans, if it isn't broke, then don't fix it. Tinker maybe, but not fix

Yeah and isn't that just what I said?
Although he was born and baptized a Roman Catholic his Nazi party was an Atheist political party.
He ended up using the church to get elected where he said all kinds of things political hopefuls say to get the religious vote, then did a 180 on them and burned most of the Churches down.
of course they didn't want to toe the party line, THEY WERE CHRISTIANS that were seeing thousands of jews taken away and gassed.
I know a lot of people like to claim that was done in religions name but that a load a crap and I don't care what you say the jews were, they also had religion. I simply said that many Christians were taken to the camps and you asked for a link to substantiate it and, YOU GOT ONE you need more
Oh and by the way,, NO it wasn't silly of them to disagree with the Nazi regime to toe the line as you call it. Just because that is something you'd have done doesn't mean everyone has that kind of "sensibility"
It was Damn courageous of them is what it was.

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the sick, the so-called incurables,
I did not speak out;
because I was not mentally ill.
When they came for the Catholics,
I did not speak out;
because I was a Protestant.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
