Cockneys are from the mainland. My husband is not from the mainland. And he has teeth. We just paid them off last week.

As for "male" order, well I confess. They are lined up to come over here. Trying to flee the potato famine, you know.

Trying to compare Mr. Obama with Adolf Hitler is just plain silly on many levels.

Sure, Mr. Obama is a great Speaker, as was Herr Hitler, but that's where the buck stops.

But while the President's actions are more focussed on talking and negotiating and compromising and apologizing and explaining and talking more, the Führer's goal was action. Just do it, he said, and that's exactly what he did. He walked the walk.

Obama promised change we can believe in, and Hitler did change the world beyond what people believed would be possible. Big difference.

It would take a lot of Obamas to fill a single shoe of Hitler.

That by no means is an evaluation or attempt of justification of Hitler's politics or even his personal state of mind, which clearly, was not "normal" by any means, but the caliber of his personality and statute which proves that genius and madness are bedfellows. Since the First Reich (the Greek one, for those who really don't know) and the Second Reich (the Roman Empire) had no individual been able to mesmerize the masses as Hitler did. In this regard, he can be compared to an emperor, which make sense as he envisioned a Third Reich. Since Hitler's passing no individual of any nation, race, gender, or orientation of any kind has been able to reel in so many followers, and you could combine every cult--including Scientology--and every group, and every dictator, including the Cuban and South American and African guys like Idi Amin, and they would fade compared to Hitler.

So let's not drift into sillyness when trying to dwarf President Obama's accomplishments so far. We can argue if he held up his promise of change, we can argue his politics, we can argue a lot of things, but one thing we can't do without coming over as nutcases: comparing him to Hitler.

Seriously.

At last we agree on something.

As I stated in my earlier post, if one wants to compare Hitler to someone, he should pick someone like Idi Amin or Pol Pot, but not Obama.

Well, he did skip a few Henry's and William's to get there, not to mention a Charlemagne and a Napoleon, and the Spanish, Portuguese, and British conquests of the New World. Of course he is being extremely Eurocentric, as most pre-American history buffs tend to be, not even considering the much more impressive empires of greater Asia, Africa, the America's, even the Pacific Islands.

next thing we know, you'll tell us ebonics isn't a dialect either.

That wouldn't be the correct term for it.

huh........ I thought it was anti-ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. Never-mind, you aren't interested in reality anyway.

She misunderestimates the power of the American language.

American English is a dialect, not a language.

What the hell is this?

Seriously, is this tolerated around here?

People on here seem to enjoy finding new ways to be racist.
