Check.
I hope to be proven wrong, but apparently that is fairly true.
Yes, it is astounding. I can't wrap my head around it. And it has been going on since the 1980s.
When you are trying to compare him to a run of the mill authoritarian ****, yes. The similarities begin and end with both of them wanting some manner of police-state. That's it. Period. End of sentence.
Dick Cheney is not a run of the mill authoritarian.
"Scapegoat", from dictionary.com.....
[skeyp-goht]
noun
1. a person or group made to bear the blame for others or to suffer in their place.
Do you mean to say that Hitler is unjustly bearing the blame for others?
Show me where he endorsed the complete 'annihilation'(vernichten) of Jews, Socialists, Leftists, the mentally & physically ill, Homosexuals, Slavs and Gypsies/Roma or anyone. Show me where he entertained the idea of a eugenics program based around the kidnapping of newly-made orphans(lebensborn) so that he could colonize a newly conquered 'living space'(lebensraum).
Cheney also supports gay marriage, which will destroy marriage & western civilization!

What happens after death that removes freewill?
Is it your claim that entering the soul (whatever that means) removes ones free will?

Of course, in the afterlife there is neither time nor space. There is not chance of action. So I have to say that there is no free will in the afterlife

Nothing for me to forgive: I wasn't there and wasn't born until another thirty six years after he took his own life.
Then again most of my countrymen still seem to think the war is on and think all Germans are Nazis.

It is pretty staggering that someone can hate Cheney so much that they would compare him to Hitler.
Hate can do that to people.

One rather gets used to this level of "intellectual" discussion on RF.
I hope that I never become so inured to RF that I can't be amused & bemused by the notion that all Republicans are worse than Hitler.One rather gets used to this level of "intellectual" discussion on RF.

Seriously? I doubt that. I would say the only difference is that Hitler had unlimited power and Cheny's power was limited by term and his failure to completely control the minds of his country men. Hitler's atrocities were permitted while Cheny's were limited.
It is the actions that define our view of a person, but it is not the actions that define that person would have done if they had the chance.
