Editor:

Have you ever read the book, "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich"? You should. Back in the early '30s Germany was in a recession; we have a recession now. A man named Hitler came on the scene and had a solution. The people voted him into power. We have a similar situation in our country today. Hitler had his co-conspirators to back him up. We have Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and a host of Czars, a cabinet of which some have questionable qualifications, even the opposite of what is required of our citizens, i.e. tax cheats and unsavory associations, i.e. ACORN.

Hugo Chavez took over Venezuela without a coup, coming in the back door. Did someone leave our back door open?

The correlation between Germany in the '30s and our situation today is similar. We have a man who has no knowledge in charge of how to lead. Germany elected a paper hanger to lead. I'm not saying our leader is attempting to rule the world, but he has been indoctrinated in his youth in a country that espouses, " We shall rule the world." They are already making a big difference in France, Great Britain, and having considerable influence in the USA.

I don't have too many years left here, I'm 82, but my children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren are facing tough times unless we can stop the juggernaut that has ben unleashed.

I said it once before and I'll say it again, to quote Mark Steyn, "It is better to jump off the train as you're leaving the station and it is picking up speed than when it's roaring down the track and you realize you've got a one-way ticket on the Oblivion Express."

Iran is a problem to the world, but not as big a problem as we have here in the USA.
