Spot on. And remember that there were a lot of Nazi sympathizers in the UK and in the US prior to Hitler's rise to power. The KKK of the 1920's (and their fear and hate) went to Germany and taught the 'Brown Shirts' how to roll. King Edward VIII (before and after his abdication) was a great Nazi sympathizer as was Neville Chamberlain. There were many pro-Hitler groups meeting in the UK before WW II. Heck, the 'Hindenburg' routinely landed at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in the 30's and that's where it crashed. And here we are; same hatred and fear, some 70+ years later. And Thom is right; once we govern by fear and hate, all bets are off.
