"The way forward". What a stupid f------g Nazi slogan.

[Philosoraptor]

God these slogans are insulting. The way forward in Iraq. The way forward in the global war on terror. The way forward to peace and stability. The fucking way fucking forward.

Look! Over there on that shining hill in Iraq! It's president bush in all his simian splendor, standing fast and firm, his sword held high in defiance, like Teddy Roosevelt before him, charging up the hill to victory, he's resolute, he's determined, he's hell bent for leather, follow him, he knows the way forward!

For every stupid action there is an equal and opposite stupid slogan.

1. Clear Skies, Healthy Forests, No Child Left Behind...

1984 arrived 16 years late, that's all.

2. they got their playbook from the Nazi's

I have a passion for quotes and came across a quote by Hitler, which described this administration to a T. My curiousity led me to search more of his past sayings. The similarities are really unreal. Judge for yourself.

"Make a lie big, keep it simple, keep saying and they will eventually believe it."

"How fortunate for leaders that men do not think."

"The broad masses of a people are more amendable to the appeal of rhetoric than any other source."

"I believe that my conduct is in accordance to the will our our almighty Creator."

"The greatness of every mighty organization embodying an idea in this
world
lies in the religious fanaticism and intolerance with which, fanatically
convinced of its own right."

"All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the
comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to
react, it intolerantly imposes its will against all
others."

"By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a
people
see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise."

“It is always more difficult to fight against faith than against knowledge.”


There are so many more. I get that feeling that Karl Rove (spelled the correct German way) idolized Hitler or perhaps simply just the way that he was able to manipulate the people. And all of these quotes remind me of one of my all time favorites.

"Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

Winston Churchill


Great post!

3. God have mercy!

I know exactly what you mean!!! All I can do when I read this stuff is to proclaim how I want to SCREAM!

Stay the course. Spreading democracy.

Bullshit!

Oops! And fight them over there so we won't have to fight them here.

As a former rhetoric major, it is glaringly obvious just how much omission of truth is hidden by these bullshit statements.

I hope you don't mind my latching on to your post to sound off.

4. Operation Try Not to Scream.

"No one ever shows the good things happening in Iraq", one of my faves.

[Clark2008]

10. The good in Iraq is equivilant to flies on shit.

It's a "good" thing that flies eat shit or we'd be up to our ears in it, but that doesn't mean it's fun to watch.

5. Don't forget

"Blitzkrieg" rewritten as "Shock & Awe"

6. "Head On, Appy directly to the forehead."

Grates on one's nerves, just like their stupid slogans.

11. Hitler had thoseVisions of grandeur too...

The troops are fighting and dying for Bush's "VISION" just like the troops fought and died for Hitler's Visions of grandeur.

The "Thousand Year Reich" = "New World Order"
