Bush is not Hitler

Unlike Hitler, who is long dead by the way for those of you historically impaired, Bush will live out his term of office, mostly likely all 8 years of it.

PFFFFTTTTTT!

A few questions (perhaps to Holden in particular)

Was it legal for the colonists to rebel against the crown? Could Washington be considered the figurehead of insurrection?

Was it legal for Jackson to mistreat the native americans as he did?

Was it legal for Lincoln to invade the south to preserve the union?

Was it legal for T. Roosevelt to declare war on Spain on such spurious evidence? Or to support the regime change in Panama with US warships?

Was Kennedy reckless and foolish for espousing a policy of containment?

Back on topic, I can draw comparisons between Bush and just about anyone. It ain't that hard or clever.

"overall, the comparison is far from exact, lending credence to Karl Marx's famous comment that when history repeats itself, the first time is tragedy, the second, farce"

a) It was illegal as it was insurrection aganst the crown, and the colonies were ruled by King George.

b) yes

Was it legal for Jackson to mistreat the native americans as he did?

a) I thought he was after young boys...seriously, in the laws of the time, I think it was... and by mistreat you do mean kill don't you?

Was it legal for Lincoln to invade the south to preserve the union?
a) Lincoln did many unconstitutional acts, including suspending habeus corpus, which would be considered unconstitutional and therefore illegal, but the preamble of the constitution says "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility", so he may have been justified in order to restore domestic tranquility, as the south fired on union troops first, at Ft Sumpter.

Was it legal for T. Roosevelt to declare war on Spain on such spurious evidence? Or to support the regime change in Panama with US warships?

a) No UN, no UNSC mandate requirement. No authority at the time to hold it illegal, therefore it was legal.

b) When TR said "I took the isthumus", he as much admitted illegality, and the US paid reparations to Columbia for the virtual theft of Panama

Was Kennedy reckless and foolish for espousing a policy of containment?  
a) Kennedy was following established and tested US Government policy, set forth (I believe) in the Truman Doctrine, so no.

Have you any idea why this is outrageously hilarious?

Kieran but u misread it.
The use of pathetic thesis and the intended misinterpretation of posts are properties that clearly are assigned to conservatives.

So (and this is the conclusion) democrats shouldnt use this comparism (cause its pathetic) cause if they would use it they could be confused with conservatives (like u did) and this is what we dont want cause conservative needs a clear foe (i.e. think black and white)
