1. Bush = Stalin
I keep reading how Bush's ideology has a number of parallels with good folks like Joseph Stalin. Problem is, I can't remember back that far - do we have any DU historians who can confirm or deny these assertions?

11. Much closer to Hitler than to Stalin who was a dictator and headed
a totalitarian state after he was able to twist and bend the Russian Revolution to his own ends.

Hitler was a fascist (rightwing nut) and, in the 30's fascism was taking over Europe and it had a long enemies list, some of these enemies had been enemies of the Corporatists for 1300 years, some were new. "Communists", for example, were a major enemy since communism is actually an economic system which, like Liberation Theology and Social Gospel, favors the people rather than favoring our large, feudal, corporations. Corporations and corporative organizations aided and abetted the efforts of the "right" to rise (just as they do now) and they traded with Hitler throughout the war but individuals involved were never tried for treason. U.S. Corporations supported the rise of Germany with money and arms, you know, like our C.I.A., which has used our tax money and the influence of the Corporatists for decades to appoint, fund, and then rid themselves of dictators in places all over the world.

Germany was impoverished by its efforts to establish a feudal empire in WWI so Hitler was brought in from Austria to talk about a "new world order" much as the Bushes have done most recently. The only real difference is that Hitler and Ronnie Raygun were each called in their time, "Great Communicator", Bush has no chance to gain this moniker!

2. Ahhh, good an official thread.
I must admit I have certainly been feeling doomed lately but that is the reason I have not posted much. Up and down and all around. Thank goodness for all you positives out there who eventually manage to bring me out of it. :hi: I saw your response in one thread yesterday, Paddy, about a doom twister over Topeka. I wondered how you knew? It is currently spinning out over the prairie as the sun begins to peek through again.

15. It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

That's great, it starts with an earthquake,
birds and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn -
world serves its own needs,
Don't misserve your own needs.
Feed it off an aux speak, grunt no, strength no.
Latter starts to clatter with fear fight, down height.
Wire in a fire, representing seven games in a government for hire and a combat site.
Left of west, was a coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck.
Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped.
Look at that low playing! Fine then.
Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself.
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed.
Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right - right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in Foreign towers.
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.
Lock him in uniform and book burning, blood running.
Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.
Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step down.
Watch a heel crush, crush.
Uh oh, this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steer clear!
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies.
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
(It's Time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
(It's Time I had some time alone)

The other night I tripped the lights continental drift divide.
Mount St. Edelite. Leonard Bernstein.
Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Banks.
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, book,neck, right? Right.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine...fine...

**********************************************

There... I feel all better now, LOL!!!

:hi:

I mean, what difference could 28 weeks make, since it's already a foregone conclusion? ;)

22. Let's all immigrate to Mongolia and form a commune!
We could live off the land, bide our time, and be tanned, rested and ready for the revolution that is *sure* to come!

Smock! Smock! :)
