A New Dawn Rises

Don't look to others to take care of things. Get involved.

Yet another liberal lie.

With the goings on in Wisconsin we have seen union protesters carrying signs comparing Governor Scott Walker to Hitler, claiming that one of the first things Hitler did was do away with the trade unions. Followed by the disgraceful words of Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown claiming that Republicans were just like Hitler in that they don't want unions.

Well its simply NOT TRUE.

Simply read Hitler's own words (from Mein Kampf, Vol II, Chapter 12):

The Christmas Truce

Here's one of those stories I'd never heard before either ...

It was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and fraternized with "the enemy" along two-thirds of the Western Front (a crime punishable by death in times of war). German troops held Christmas trees up out of the trenches with signs, "Merry Christmas."
 

"You no shoot, we no shoot." Thousands of troops streamed across a no-man's land strewn with rotting corpses. They sang Christmas carols, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared rations, played football, even roasted some pigs. Soldiers embraced men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if the top brass forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high...
