Is history repeating itself?

I found this essay on the website What Really Happened. My skin crawled with goose bumps from reading it. After reading it a second time I knew that I had to draw as many people’s attention to it as possible.

The essay draws a chilling parallel between Hitler and George W. Bush that I, quite frankly, had always just shrugged off as hyperbole and exaggeration.

Everyone, I repeat, everyone owes it to themselves to read this essay before forming any opinion on this very evil and derogatory comparison. Try to pick the essay apart as the ramblings of a paranoid and delusional mind. I have tried. I cannot. The facts are verifiable and truthful to the point that it scares the hell out of me.

The apathy and gullibility of the German people of the 1930’s as compared with the apathy and the gullibility of the American people of today is astonishing.

The state of the German Republic of the 1930’s as compared to the state of the American Republic of today is uncanny.

The request for ‘temporary’ powers George W. Bush made, and was granted, in order to fight ‘terrorism’ is an eerie correlation to the request for ‘temporary’ powers Hitler made, and was granted, in order to fight ‘terrorism’ of his day.

You really need to read this essay.

My hope is that the historical events of the American people is different enough from the historical events of the German people of the 1930’s that this history can not repeat itself.

There are many events in the history of mankind that have been repeated. All documented and verifiable. True, no two events ‘flow’ exactly the same, and it is more unlikely that any two chain of events will ‘flow’ exactly the same, but don’t you think it would be best to make certain that this horrendous chapter in human history does not have a chance to repeat itself?
