GUESSING WORLD LEADERS

Can you guess what world leader we're talking about? He came to power during a worldwide crisis. He always made sure there were a lot of national flags in the background when he spoke. He was recognized as a gifted orator. He moved the people by emotion and not by playing on their critical thinking skills. In fact, he counted on them to stop thinking and be moved by their feelings rather than by rationality.

   In the crisis he worked to take away the people's democratic decision making abilities. He took over the unions and made them think they had a place in government. He nationalized big business. He made the population think that their problems were actually started by the previous government authorities. He made most of the decisions for the people and bypassed them and their elected assembly. He turned the nation into a welfare state. He put into place a billion public works projects. He spent the nation out of the world depression. Thus, all freedoms were removed!

   Your choice: (1) Adolf Hitler, or (2) Barack Hussein Obama?

   History indicates both!

   Know your history so you can make rational decisions.
