    Vive Le Trumpism:

    I'm tired of the &^%*$# GOP acting as if it is its God-given role to wage Holy War on the American working man, as if they straight-up hate them.

    They're still flacking for companies bringing in foreign workers on H1Bs to replace Americans currently on the job. In fact, until recently, a lot of them were talking about expanding the already-abused H1B program. [democrats are even worse abusers]

    If you take away all the jobs of the working class, or middle class for that matter, you'd better change your position on welfare to being gangbusters in favor of it, because if you're going do everything in your power to keep a man from earning an honest dollar, you have to give him a dishonest one.

    Otherwise, there will literally be bodies hanging from lamp-poles.

    And I'm nationalistic -- straight up, no apologies. You're g-d right I champion America over all others and citizens over non-citizens -- and no, it's not "racist" to discriminate in favor of citizens over non-citizens. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO.

    Otherwise you're anti-American. Period.

    You gonna claim that if you protect an American's job, you hate non-citizen immigrants? Well, you hate actual Americans, buddy. It seems we both have some "hate" going on here; I guess we're just discussing whether or not we owe any degree of loyalty and fellow-feeling to our fellow Americans, or if we're all just "global citizens" now.

    PS: It's highly offensive to compare anyone to Hitler. You mock the suffering of Hitler's victims.

    Lets be clear on something. I did not start the comparison of Drumpf and Hitler...ROTFL

    Israeli journalist watches in horror as Trump’s rise mirrors Hitler: ‘The echoes are getting much too close’


    An American-born Israeli journalist is warning Jewish voters not to cast ballots for GOP front runner Donald Trump, who he compares in chilling terms to the rise of Adolf Hitler before the Second World War.

    Writing for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, award-winning journalist Bradley Burston described watching American Jews talk about voting for Trump on television with a growing sense of doom. Normally, he pointed out, the concern goes in the other direction.

    “But now I find myself thinking about what is about to happen to my loved ones in America,” he writes. “About what may happen to minorities and other people who may be rendered vulnerable by their faiths or their opinions, Jews certainly among them.”

    Burston writes he has never been one to jump at comparing modern politicians with Hitler, the leader of the genocidal regime in Germany that killed 6 million Jews and millions of others belonging to the political opposition and vulnerable minority groups.

    “My discomfort has only grown over the years, as the epithet Nazi has been thrown around so often and so loosely, by so many sides to so many conflicts,” he writes. “But this time is different. Because this time, the echoes are getting much too close.”

    Burston, who has close relatives who survived the Holocaust, found haunting the words of Trump while speaking on Fox. “‘Everybody that’s attacked me is gone. Do you ever notice that? Wouldn’t that be nice for our country?'”

    While Burston had long been comforted by the phrase uttered by many in regards to the Holocaust, “never again,” that assurance has been evaporating.

    “I figured they were right,” he notes. “Until this week. Until I began to hear reminders of the observations of the Jews who’d once placed hopes in Hitler. How a leader like that could bring stability, restore a broken country to greatness. How you shouldn’t pay too much heed to what he says – it’s just what politicians need to do to get elected.”

    He adds, “Any Jew who votes for Donald Trump is voting for an anti-Semite.”

    Burston recalled statements Trump has made about comedian Jon Stewart, as well as anti-Semitic statements made by vocal supporters Ann Coulter and pastor Mark Burns.

    This week, Burns said at a Trump rally that the only Jewish candidate in the race, Sen. Bernie Sanders, needs to convert to Christianity.

    Burston isn’t the first to compare Trump to Hitler. Trump has multiple times retweeted white supremacist Twitter accounts, including one devoted to Hitler that posted a picture of him dressed as a Nazi, gassing Sanders.

    Trump further raised eyebrows earlier this month when footage from one of his rallies emerged, where he tells supporters to raise their right handsand pledge to vote for him.

    “The next time he asks you to raise your right hand, America,” Burston concludes, “just say Never Again.”

    9 times Donald Trump has been compared to Hitler

    Donald Trump is not happy with the Hitler comparison.

    Prominent people have lately likened the Republican presidential front-runner to Adolf Hitler for his comments targeting Mexicans and Muslims and for his populist politicking style.

    Most recently, Trump has had his supporters raise their right hands and pledge to vote for him. Some, including former Anti-Defamation League head Abe Foxman, think the practice reminiscent of Nazi rallies where crowds would “heil Hitler.”

    “I don’t know about the Hitler comparison. I hadn’t heard that, but it’s a terrible comparison. I’m not happy about that certainly,” Trump said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Tuesday.

    It doesn’t help that last week Trump wavered in disavowing former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who is one of many racists and anti-Semites to voice support for the real estate billionaire’s campaign.

    Here are nine people who have recently made the Trump-Hitler equation.

    1. Louie C.K.

    The acclaimed comedian didn’t mince words in an email he sent Saturday to his fans.

    “It was funny for a little while,” he wrote, “But the guy is Hitler. And by that I mean we are being Germany in the ‘30s. Do you think they saw the shit coming? Hitler was just some hilarious and refreshing dude with a weird comb over who would say anything at all.”

    2. Bill Maher

    On his HBO show “Real Time with Bill Maher” on Friday, the political comedian pointed out that a 1990 Vanity Fair article found Trump kept a volume of Hitler’s speeches by his bedside. Then he showed a video of a Hitler speech and gave it a satirical English translation. Some of the best lines include “Germany doesn’t win anymore” and “The Treaty of Versailles? A terrible deal.”

    3. Glenn Beck

    The former Fox News host called Trump a “dangerous man” on ABC’s “This Week.”

    “You know, we all look at Adolf Hitler in 1940. We should look at Adolf Hitler in 1929,” Beck told George Stephanopolous on Sunday. “He was a funny kind of character who said the things that people were thinking. Where Donald trump takes it I have absolutely no idea.”

    “I look at this and it frightens me,” Collins said, referring to Trump’s rise. “I know that he isn’t targeting me right now, but we don’t know.”

    Fellow host Joy Behar brought up comedian John Oliver’s recent segment on Donald Trump on his HBO show “Last Week Tonight.” In a clip that went viral, Oliver found that Trump’s family name was once the German Drumpf.

    “His real name is Drumpf, like mein Drumpf,” Behar said.

    4. The ladies of “The View”

    On Monday’s “The View,” Jewish host Michelle Collins — who said more than half her family was wiped out in the Holocaust — brought up The New York Times’ first mention of Hitler from the ’30s. She said it described the Nazi ruler as someone who at first used anti-Semitism only to garner followers.

    5. Anne Frank’s stepsister

    Eva Schloss, whose mother married Anne Frank’s father after World War II, survived Auschwitz. She slammed Trump while marking Holocaust Remembrance Day last month.

    “If Donald Trump become[s] the next president of the US it would be a complete disaster,” Schloss, 86, told Newsweek. “I think he is acting like another Hitler by inciting racism.”

    6. Former ADL chief Abe Foxman


    “As a Jew who survived the Holocaust, to see an audience of thousands of people raising their hands in what looks like the ‘Heil Hitler’ salute is about as offensive, obnoxious and disgusting as anything I thought I would ever witness in the United States of America,” the former head of the Anti-Defamation League said Sunday. “We’ve seen this sort of thing at rallies of neo-Nazis.”

    7. Mexico’s former president Vicente Fox


    Trump last June called Mexican immigrants “rapists” who bring “crime” with them across the border into the US He has also advocated building a wall along the southern US border to block illegal immigration.

    These statements don’t sit well with Vicente Fox, a former Mexican president who sounded off on Trump last month.

    “Today, he’s going to take [the US] back to the old days of conflict, war and everything. I mean, he reminds me of Hitler. That’s the way he started speaking,” Fox told CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

    8. Former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman


    The Republican leader was reminded of Hitler when in Decemeber Trump called for temporarily barring Muslims from entering the US He first made the controversial call in the wake of the deadly terrorist shooting in San Bernandino, California, which was carried out by two American Muslims.

    “If you go and look at your history and you read your history in the lead-up to the Second World War this is the kind of rhetoric that allowed Hitler to move forward,” Whitman told CNN after Trump’s announcement. “Because you have people who were scared the economy was bad, they want someone to blame.”

    9. The “Saturday Night Live” cast


    Trump might have hosted “SNL” last fall, but that isn’t keeping the show from mercilessly mocking him.

    In a fake ad — the second of two segments from Saturday’s show to skewer him — Trump supporters are portrayed as Ku Klux Klan members, white supremacists and yes, neo-Nazis. At one point, cast member Taran Killam raises his arm to expose a red swastika-emblazoned armband.

    Trump can’t even escape the Hitler comparisons in his hometown.

    I don't like most of the groups above either, but if what they say gets repeated enough and terrifies woman, minorities and moderate liberals and get Hillary elected..I'm good with that.

    Even better would be the GOP party elites, the ones with power behind the scenes, running a third party candidate in order to siphon of votes from Trump.

    I thought the McCain/Palin debacle was hilarious, this is even better
