no joke murky.  study your history.  hitler appealed to the desperate
sheep longing for change.  just like barry.  hitler initiated gun
controls for the safety of his sheep.  just like barry wants to do.
hitler formed his gestapo to control the sheep as well as information,
just like barry's national security force.  hitler took control of the
media to control the message, just like barry will do.  yep murky
those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.  seig
heil murky.  seig heil.
