I kid you not. If you haven't heard of this, click on this link to theMSNBC article here. I'll summarize the article which attributes this wingnuttery to Rep. Paul Broun (R-GS). I've attached a link to his web site should you feel so inclined to get to know him a little, or drop him a line.
I think there may be a flaw...
or two in his analysis, just my opinion, so I'll tell you about the article and give you my $.02.
Rep Broun says Prez elect Obama, in July, said he wanted to see a national service force formed to take the burden off the military. That correct. I'm not sure if Rep Broun mentioned this "force" would conduct reconstruction efforts in war zones. Rep Broum then says Obama has also said he favors "common sense" gun laws, which is undeniable. So the congressman ties these ideas together to foresee a USA version of the Brown Shirts dominating a subdued population in the USA. The MSNBA article closes with Rep Broun warning us, "We can't be lulled into complacency," Broun said. "You have to remember that Adolf Hitler was elected in a democratic Germany. I'm not comparing him to Adolf Hitler. What I'm saying is there is the potential of going down that road."
First of all, Rep Broun, weren't the Brownshirts located in Germany, like with the dominated German people? It'd be really hard to strongarm a population, if you're sent overseas, like thousands of miles away, unless you could subdue them with strongly worded blogs. Rep Broun, do you feel better now? So drop that line and let me tell what to really worry about.
Timothy McVeigh killed 300 Americans in an act of terror in the USA, in Oklahoma you may recall- 4/19/1995. His favorite book was The Turner Diaries. This book (ironically written by a former Nazi Party member)was about a coming race war, mainly meant to excite nut jobs with images that allowed them to funnel their delusional visions of racial hatred. The hero of that book blew up, by the way, a building in Washington, DC in response to gun control laws. I'm not saying Rep Broun you're inciting a similar response from some demented right-winger, but check the color of your own shirt and see if it's brown. Matthew 7:3 to 5.
