Top Ten Reasons Bush is Not Hitler

10. Hitler was renowned for his public speaking abilities.

9. When Hitler came to power, he actually improved his country's
economy.

8. Before he revoked elections, Hitler actually was elected; and after
Hitler formed his evil cabinet, he told them what to do.

7. Hitler was a self-made man.

6. When Germany called Hitler to battle in WWI, he actually showed up.

5. Hitler was a Nazi Dictator, and he never tried to dress himself up
as a fighter pilot, or working class rancher.

4. Hitler never claimed to actually respect Jews, Blacks, Gays,
Gypsies, Atheists, or the Disabled. (After Hitler formed his evil
cabinet, he told them what to do.)

3. When Hitler invaded countries, he never pretended he did it because
they were going to attack his country.


Disclaimer on # 3: While technically true, he did claim that
German citizens in other countries were 'threatened' by
the politics, leaders and philosophies of host countries.


2. Hitler was actually pretty damn competent at invading other
countries.

And the #1 reason that Bush is Not Hitler...

1. When Hitler had finally succeeded at screwing up the planet and
destroying his own country, he at least had the common courtesy to
blow his own sick, twisted brains out.

So no, my moderately liberal friends, Bush falls far short of Hitler
in many respects.

Thank God.

You forgot:

Bush gets to shape the future of his country by selecting 2 Supreme Court
judges. :-)

Would that Bush left no other fingerprints on the future of the
country.

Aside from fulfilling his pledge to cut taxes for the richest
Americans, I struggle to think of a single thing he has attempted that
he hasn't screwed up. It will take a generation or more to recover,
fiscally, from his imcompetant lack of oversight for federal spending.
We may never return to the point where our civil liberties are presumed
and granted by the Constitution, rather than doled out at a whim and in
restricted measures by members of the temporarily ruling party. Our
government is bigger than it has ever been, our budget is the most out
of whack it has ever been, and the "nose of the camel" is under the
tent in a gradual erosion of individual liberties that will make it
easier for our bigger, more invasive, more costly government to run
roughshod over the populace and suppress dissent.

Darn shame that his war on terror really turned out to be a war on
democracy, and a lot less successful than his war on the environment.

Good going, George. When we run out of oil, take a coil of wire and a
couple of magnets out to where one of the strict constitutionalist
founders is buried. I'm sure we can light half the country on the juice
we can generate as he is spinning in his grave.
