Iowa Billboard Puts Obama Side-By-Side With Lenin and Hitler.

I think it's kind of sad really. I mean there used to be an expectation that you would take care of your parents when they got older, or you'd throw them in a home... The idea though that we need SS and medicare these days because people want to live alone is a bit silly when you really look at it.

Very sad! I agree. What's more sad is that this trend is being exported to other countries. Nursing homes are pooping up everywhere from poor Asian countries to rich Japan.

The funny thing is that the entire US political spectrum is confined to the upper right quadrant of the political compass. (IE authoritarian conservative)

Yeah I've noticed that - when I hear people refer to Obama as being "Far Left" its hilarious to, because as you say the political spectrum in the US occupies a narrow strip of the centre-right.

Tony Blair was centre-right, but when you compare him to either Clinton or Obama, Let alone GWB or Reagan - he was clearly to the left of both!

The billboard is honest... Though you'd need to put a few other Presidents up there as well from both parties....

Honest? Hardly. There's no easy comparison to be drawn between Lenin and Hitler, let alone Barack Obama.

Usually whenever someone wheels out Nazi references to current political figures its a surefire indication that they have nothing of interest to say.
