MDA: "Goebbel's words are wise words to live by"

[Twangbanger]

I wonder if they really know very much at all about tyrannical governments? In their experience, most government action has probably seemed positive to them. I suspect they are socialized to believe most evil comes from outside the government (ie, the private sector).

 

[Mark 1911]

If she didn't know who Goebbels was then at best she was ignorant. If she did, she was insensitive and crass by giving credence to any Nazi as "wise". But apart from whether the reference to the Nazi was intentional or not, the fact is that she is still trying to pass off background checks as legitimate. It's the same old tired, failed, and arrogant argument from the libs.

I'm shocked.

Wait.

I meant...NOT shocked.

It really doesn't matter if she knew who Gobbels was (I could have been caught on that also, if brought to me out of context I think). If someone were being compared to a Nazi for some irrelevant reason (like their choice of wine, haircut,etc) it wouldn't matter.

What matters here is the subject at hand: that the government uses that excuse to gain power: that if you have nothing to hide you shouldn't mind the privacy violation. Very much like the patriot act and the recent NSA revelations, as well as gun registrations.

The WW2 history here is only a piece of understanding how this philosophy works.
