  • Actually he has many excellent points rooted in recent history with facts that most of us can verify easily.

    We should ALL have a "chip" on our shoulders (if you like) against the anti-intellectual, fundamentalist stupidity that has crippled American society.

  • Frank Schaeffer verified that Blumenthal was dead on about everything here. The Christian right is a very scary cult. And the Christian left gets no damn press at all. Sad.

  • @SupositoryRepository to me the problem is that people are too either left or right. they cant comprehend that its possible to be left on some issues, and right on other issues.

  • @easymike The American Left and Right are both locked in their stupid fundamentalist mindsets. Both of them have these silly cultural agendas that if you ask me are devices to keep us divided and distracted while the both of them get fat off of us. And not a god damn thing changes.

  • ...If it hadn't been for me, Dad's reputation as an evangelical scholar—a somewhat marginal but interesting intellectual figure—would have remained intact. As it was, my absolutist youthful commitment to the pro-life cause goaded my father into taking political positions far more extreme than came naturally to him.--"Crazy For God"

  • @airborne373 In what way?

  • they were the most democratic but hitler didnt rise to power throught the democratic process. he actually something very similar to what happened in the town hall meetings.  thats actually what hitler did. interesting

  • germanys democracy was on life support in 1933. there was the depression. communists and nazis were fighting battles in the streets. the middle class wanted the trains to run on time.the industrialists wanted economic security from the communists.he wasn't popular, he was put in power by hindenburg in the hopes that hindenburg could control him

  • Hitler was popular and people did vote for him in large numbers, it wasn't all about violence, because at the time hitler rose to power, germany was the most democratic country in the world.

  • alright, just when i thought i found an intelligent and educated american he says "hitler rose through a democratic process" . . .

    hitler was able to rise because he perverted every democratic tool at hand and had people killed etc etc... arrrgh!

  • In what way?
