Can someone please answer this for me? I'm serious here... not trying to stir up crap, just want to know what you have heard or what other bloggers know. Thanks
I studied German for 5 years while in College getting my degrees.
One of the classes required for the German Minor was History of the
German Peoples. In that class we learned about how Hitler came to
power. The people coming out of WWI were tired, hungry, poor and sick
and tired of being sick and tired. Hitler was ripe for the picking in
the 1920’s when Germany was in economic crisis. Prices of eggs had
risen 300000 times in just 10 years (HMMMMM SOUND FAMILIAR)
By time Hitler was ready to run for President, the Nazis gradually
devised an electoral strategy to win northern farmers and white collar
voters in small towns, which produced a landslide electoral victory in
September 1930. After a couple run off elections he finally settled for
a coalition government and declared himself Chancellor.
The Nazis won their support primarily from the lower middle class
and the peasantry. These voters were strongly nationalistic in their
political views and feared that the depression would deprive them of
their standard of living. In religion, most of the Nazis’ supporters
were Protestants. German Catholics remained firm in their support of
the Catholic Center Party.
I could go on and on, but my point is this: Obama has NO REAL
platform, neither did Hitler. Hitler was elected because the people of
Germany did not see his true self until it was too late. He preyed upon
their weakness….. their weakness??? THEY WERE HUNGRY, POOR and AFRAID.
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
