America Is Rapidly Becoming More Like Nazi Germany

If these were empirical facts there would be no debate my opponents point is moot.NDAA: Never in my short life have I seen a bill, which passed through congress, be so hated by the American public as the National Defense Authorization Act. The fact that the senate passed this bill with 93% support shows us how disconnected our leadership has become. The NDAA authorizes our intelligence community to imprison U.S. citizens and hold them as long as they like without a trial. Obama vetoed the first draft of this bill because it did not give the executive branch enough powers over the intelligence community as stated in the “Statement of Administration Policy.” Obama, since, has lost a large section of his once supporters. Normally, when a president is affected by an election, people get irritated and say he is a lackey of some sort. This time reason and logic had a rare triumph. The White House was flooded with passionate complaints over the bill. The people were screaming at President Obama with an unusually united voice, “VETO THIS BILL”. He did not.As the government appears to be clamping down on the rights of citizens and appears to be gearing up for a "hostilities against the United States" mentality, I urge you to look back at the best historical example of a regime doing to very same thing.. Nazi Germany. The first step must always be to consolidate power and eliminate opposition, two things Hitler did exceptionally well. "Fear" was the key component to keeping Germans loyal and "in line." Remember how Hitler required the Gestapo and the SS to pledge loyalty directly to him.. not Germany. Are we headed for a police state? We will once the Supreme Court hands over gun rights to the government. (Ginsburg has already made it known that "when Obama is re-elected and appoints another liberal justice or two," the Court would like another chance to hear a 2nd Amendment case so they can "get it right this time." -- Something to think about.R.I.P. Bill of Rights: 1789-2011My opponent is saying my points are not true or valid but not showing why or how my points are not true or valid he said "I really feel no need to address all of my opponents points as I would also agree to them if they were true but they simply are not." So my points are not true because he says so. If it was that simple we would not be having this debate.This debate is titled America Is Rapidly Becoming More Like Nazi Germany I did not say that America is "identical" to NAZI Germany. I am showing the similarities between the two. Are Parallels To Nazi Germany Crazy? My neighbor was a Nazi soldier and he realized during the war what he and most of his generation was led into. I have learned from him that a nation can be guilty and that we must stop the arrogance of the powers at the very beginning. To me, America is becoming truly scary and the parallels to the development in Germany of the thirties (although the reason behind it are totally different) are sickening. I respect experience, so I'm inclined to believe what he is telling me. His memories explain how the attitude of the American administration these days are similar to the attitudes of the German administration of the 1930's He was been there. He knows what a corrupt government smells like. There were thousands of German soldiers that were not war criminals. Enlisted men went back to trying to rebuild their destroyed country and like soldiers in every war and every country, trying to put the war behind them as much as they could. Most German soldiers fought in battles against the Russians, French, British, Americans, etc. and had nothing to do with the Holocaust and things like that. But thier experinces shed light this topic.“Not knowing at that time that our minds were being poisoned, we believed that Adolf Hitler was our chosen leader,’’ Schulz said “We joined the army not only because it was our duty, but because we believed it was an honor.’’Schulz, of Strasburg, shared his story of military service with Lancaster’s World War II Oral History Club — a new organization devoted to hearing and preserving stories of service in World War II.As the group’s first speaker, he transfixed 30 listeners, including several soldiers who had fought against him on the German front.The former Nazi lieutenant provided a candid and sometimes apologetic view of his side of the war. His heavy German accent and staccato delivery accentuated a point of view that is rarely heard in this country.Now 84, Schulz joined the Hitler Youth in 1931 and the Nazi army when he turned 18 in 1939 — just in time to participate in the entire war.He fought in Poland, Yugoslavia, Italy, France and Belgium. He was wounded and recuperated in Berlin. He surrendered and spent 18 months in an American POW camp.During his six years in the army, Schulz said, he often felt depressed, especially as “one by one the German cities were reduced to rubble’’ by Allied aerial attacks.But he remained loyal to Hitler because, along with millions of other young Germans, he had been indoctrinated during his formative years.And Schulz remained loyal because he never understood the full extent of Nazi activities. He said he knew nothing about the 6 million Jews killed in Nazi concentration camps until American planes dropped leaflets describing the atrocities.“We could not believe it,’’ he said. “We were always on the front. We thought it was propaganda. ... I never thought that something like this could take place.’’Schulz said the Allied destruction of the massive weapons base at Peenemunde in 1943 convinced him that the Germans could not win the war. Adolf Hitler, however, never wavered.“Hitler’s outlook throughout the war remained unchanged,’’ Schulz said. “Even if Germany couldn’t win, he thought, he could drag half the world along into ruin.’’Instead, Schulz said, Germany was ruined. In the war’s aftermath, people starved to death. The Russian occupation would not permit Schulz to return to his native East Germany. He did not see his parents for seven years.And he had to live with the recognition of what the German army had done during the war.“The thought that I was one of the millions of soldiers who carried out the dictates of Hitler will always be on my mind,’’ he said.In 1955, Schulz and his wife and children came to America. He taught German in a York County school for many years, then moved to Strasburg.He left his listeners with a warning: “The overwhelming majority of German people surrendered their democracy to Adolf Hitler. ... Don’t take the beautiful freedoms of America for granted because every system can collapse.’’Dan and Judy Mastros, of Columbia, who videotaped Schulz’s presentation, patterned the World War II Oral History Club on a similar group in Harrisburg.“Obviously, we’re losing World War II veterans right and left and it’s time to get them while we can,’’ said Mastros.Read more: http://lancasteronline.com...Conclusion: My opponent says I have yet to make a solid argument based in fact. Well look around study a bit you will see the similarities for yourself then tell me I am wrong. Most of what America does is right that is the same thinking the German people had look where it got them......
