An Interesting Find

While researching a quote, supposedly said by both Hitler and Bush, I stumbled across this:

http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler

Union Banking Corp. of NY Seized through the trading with the enemy act, for
among other things, laundering Nazi money in the midst of WW 2. Director and
vice president was,  Prescott Bush , George Sr.'s father.

"An evil exists that threatens every man, woman and child of this great nation. We must take steps to ensure our domestic security and protect our homeland."
Adolf Hitler
When announcing the Gestapo to the people of Germany


"An evil exists that threatens every man, woman and child of this great nation. We must take steps to ensure our domestic security and protect our homeland."
George W. Bush
When announcing the Patriot act to the people of the USA
I remember that speech! Do you?

I've often wondered how a single man could get a nation to follow him into such a war as did Hitler. Germany enjoyed many of the freedoms that we American's often brag about; however, how did Hitler cause his people, who bragged about so many freedoms and tolerance to all, to unilaterally support his hatred against so many people? The German people were no less ignorant or stupid than the majority of modern Americans, how did he do it?? He did it the same way our own government has been doing it to us... It may be too late, but hopefully we, as Americans, never become apathetic to the point that we are blind to the dangers of those who lie to us for our own welfare. 5 stars for sheer honesty, and the brilliance of how to control a society so effectively.
