I don’t think the jump to Nazism is quite as big as you imagine, unfortunately. As Sinclair Lewis said in his 1935 novel “It Can’t Happen Here”: “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross”.[/quote]

Yes dude.

Comparing Obama to Hitler is as cliche as it is stupid.

And it is a silly jump.

Granted you have said a few doozies (eg: “Vietnam was a good idea”, “we won Vietnam”, “the Chinese cannot be trusted”) but Obama to Hitler is a new one for you.

As with the other silly remarks, there is a grain of truth in it (he is, by definition, politically ambitious with an active agenda) but this is as inane as it is illustratively useless.

The difference with totalitarian regimes (as opposed to authoritarian, oligarchic, or democratic) is that they legislate what you think. Putting cctv cameras in public places does not even register on my paranoia radar. If you start postponing elections or listening to private conversations between citizens, that is different.

Seriously?!?! I’m sorry, I find that creepy and odd. I just had a conversation with my extremely liberal neighbor regarding the health care bill this evening and I guess he’s supposed to provide a written transcript of our “casual conversation” and email it to the white house now.[/quote]

Your point is fair.

I see lots of completely bs stuff in blogs and tv and I understand the administrations desire to respond.

However, yeah, asking the public to report to the home office is not something that engenders support or sympathy. It makes the critics sound more accurate.

[quote=Zeitgeist]Why don’t you mail it to the thought police.

Here is another one for your book of quotes. What’s the difference between Obama and Reagan? Reagan loved America and never apologized for the country or the people.[/quote]

Thought police?

Because questioning your silliness is Orwellian?

Seriously?

Why don’t you compare him to Jesus or Satan while you’re at it?

Also, have you checked for chips embedded in your skull?

I am sure we left them there somewhere.

You are definitely the spirit of some age.

Are you really Casca’s and Gandalf’s love child?

Come on now.

[quote=AK]Why would it be an easy short sale, UR? Because there’s enough equity to cover the first with a little bit left over for the second? Or for some other reason?[/quote]

No that’s pretty much why.

Once you cover 5% of the second, you can be pretty sure that the second will eat the rest.

In this case they would get more than 10 percent.

However the listing implies that the seller will show up with funds to close the deal (thus making this analysis largely irrelevant).
