I was thumbing through my political facebook (mind numbing) research this morning and came across a mayors race posting. In the post, a liberal leaning candidate posted a comic of himself disguised as Captain America. He was vanquishing his older and more conservative opponent made up to be Hitler, complete with swastika armband.
It occurred to me that this fake Captain America probably hadn't studied the rise of the Third Reich, complete with its socialist agenda. A political movement that stifled free speech, imposed strict gun control, and a welfare state. The Nazis set out to save the German people.
The rest is history. But some study history and offer us advice.
"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule it."
H.L. Mencken
