It doesn't hurt to pay attention to history. I certainly don't expect to have someone with Hitler's ideology become President and make himself a dictator. However, I am saying Germany's economic vulnerability brought about by WWI left it susceptible to fear tactics. Which is how Hitler rose to power. I don't think it is beyond the realm of possibility that human rights in the U.S. will continue to deteriorate over time if conditions continue to worsen. And while I wouldn't expect the U.S. to fall prey to the same kind of ideological crap that Hitler spewed, it is an unarguable reality that we have an unlimited amount of ideological crap just waiting for it's time in the sun. No harm in noticing the changes in our basic human rights. That's all I'm saying.
