Hitler wins again. Yay democracy.

[heavenlyboy34]

Hitler was elected. And was hugely popular.

And have you observed elections in this country lately?

He was in fact a popular speaker in German bars and such gathering places before he got into politics.

 

[Aratus]

the ability of the nazi dictator to reach out to people and project a positive image is at the core of the point the law professor was indeed making!

today we look at and listen to old newsreel footage but this only gives us all a loose idea of what went down in germany then. perhaps FDR was

more cerebral & detached due to his polio, and distant from people, but able to communicate effectively. if i had to choose between a very rabid

New Dealer or "Candidate B" i hope i'd vote for the new dealer, if "Candidate A" was not an option. did we survive because we chose the lesser of

two evils? are we inside today's debilitating economic malaise because we strayed away from the libertarian philosophy of our founding fathers?

 

[Grubb556]

I'm surprised the "sends soldiers to foreign countries" wasn't a turn-off for candidate B.

james polk was our able potus during a war few questioned at the time...

True, but to be fair people didn't have internet back then.

 

[Aratus]

they could read newspapers...

 

[tod evans]

I was immediately drawn to "A" due to his real world experience.

 

[compromise]

ya might want to add that Candidate B brought unemployment down from 33% to just 2% in only three years. He did this by slashing taxes, ending government waste, abolishing "The Fed" , and issuing interest free currency. Candidate B was also the ONLY world leader of the 20th century to successfully defy the New World Order mafia (at least for 12 years)

just sayin

LOL...this place is teeming with fake libertarian nuts...

I agree the test was a little biased, but it could also shed light on why so many people back Obama. His Hitler description is much like many of the Obama descriptions in the liberal media.

I think it was Hayek who said "If you send everyone to the army there would be no unemployment and nothing to eat" .The entire German nation was employed into the Army and various government agencies.And contrary to popular belief the German army was the worst equipped army in the war.Only their generals brilliance and crazy luck won them the the early success after which it was all downhill.

[Demigod]

Uh, no. It was stupid and unnecessary for Americans to get involved. The Soviets did the hard part and deserve the vast majority of credit for defeating the German forces. Another thing-if the US and Britain hadn't gotten into that mess, the Soviets and Germans would've fought to the end (Hitler was obsessed with "Judeo-Bolshevism"). It's highly unlikely that the German forces would've won considering the poor decisions by Hitler on down the command chain and the devastating terrain in East Europe. (the Germans failed to learn the lessons of Napoleon's epic fail in Russia).

The USA and the UK invaded mainland Europe only to stop the Soviets from creating what would have been Euroasia. The Soviets would have went all the way to Spain and Sicily with no problem.There was ample communists in both France,Italy and Spain to create puppets.Then the cold war would have been a totally different game.

 

[Aratus]

important point! 100,ooo thanx Demigod! ole harry s. truman was not a total idiot in his day...

 

[heavenlyboy34]

The professor has a sense of humor.

I think he's trying to illustrate to his students that a fascist can sound popular.

Hitler's party won many seats on the back of the depression and the president was talked into making him Chancellor in a coalition government.

Keiser(sp?) von Bismarck, not president.

 

[Aratus]

von hindenburg was the president of the ill fated weimar republic before
the nazi party triggered a false flag crisis that became a political coup...

Uh. What about all those computer things? You know, Great Britain had a little computer going ding ding ding breaking the German codes. Backing that up was a much larger computer in the United States buried a lot deeper into the wood work so much so that it wasn't even revealed to exist until here recently. It was the real thing.
Significance?
Well, unbeknownst to the Germans, their planned invasion of Moscow got intercepted by the British and Americans and then passed along to the Russians well in advance of the offensive. And did Russia obliterate the Germans as a result? Hell no. The Germans still came close to winning.
You know, the Germans weren't the master race, but they sure did have a hell of a good argument.

Keiser(sp?) von Bismarck, not president.

It was President Hindenburg. There was no Kaiser (i.e. King) after Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated following WWI and the Weimar Republic was created. Otto von Bismarck had been the "Iron Chancellor" under Kaiser Wilhelm I when the German nation was created and was dead before WWI had begun.

 

[Confederate]

Keiser(sp?) von Bismarck, not president.

Kaiser = Emperor

Otto von Bismarck was Minister President of Prussia and then Chancellor of the German Empire under Kaisers Wilhelm I, Friedrich III, and Wilhelm II until 1890.

The President of the Weimar Republic when Hitler came into power was Paul von Hindenburg until his death in 1934.

An emperor is a ruler over a "world" of many kings and kingdoms.

I knew this thread would attract the Stormfronters

 

[TheGrinch]

Fails to mention "Candidate B" spent time in jail.

You clearly missed that the point of the exercise was not reality, but perception

 

[John F Kennedy III]

Sad but not surprising. You'd get the same results if you could somehow have a real US Presidential election in this manner.
