Scenario A. A man walks into a field with a briefcase where a little girl is picking flowers. His name is Mr. Nari. He then opens up his briefcase and pulls out the components for a gun. As he is reconstructing his weapon, another man, Mr. O, walks up and asks Mr. Nari what he’s doing. Mr. Nari responds by informing him of his intention to shoot the little girl. Mr. O is alarmed and asks Mr. Nari, “What do you want?” “Just to talk, that’s all,” responds Mr. Nari. Mr. O is relieved. All he wanted was to talk! So Mr. O obliges him and begins delivering a powerful argument against shooting people. Meanwhile, Mr. Nari nods his head in agreement as he keeps on working at putting together his gun. Soon he springs the last part into place, raises his weapon, and shoots the little girl dead. “What did you do that for!?” demands Mr. O. To which Mr. Nari replies, “You idiot, I told you that was what I was going to do and you sat here chatting away, giving me the time I needed to pull it off.”
Scenario B. A man walks into a field with a briefcase where a little girl is picking flowers. His name is Mr. Nari. He then opens up his briefcase and pulls out the components for a gun. As he is reconstructing his weapon, another man, Mr. M, walks up and asks Mr. Nari what he’s doing. Mr. Nari responds by informing him of his intention to shoot the little girl. Mr. M is alarmed and pulls out a gun of his own and points it at Mr. Nari. “Don’t even think about it,” warns Mr. M. “Whoa, relax, I just want to talk,” says Mr. Nari. “Throw that away, and then we’ll talk,” replied Mr. M. Mr. Nari pauses, stares at the gun pointed at him, then reluctantly obliges. And so they talk.
Scenario A is appeasement, scenario B is diplomacy with preconditions. Most tyrants with diabolical ambition have complex schemes that require a lot of time to acheive. To acquire the time needed, they often use diplomacy as a stalling mechanism. So long as they are giving up nothing in the talks, they are getting something for nothing. That is why the word “appeasement” is used to describe these sorts of situations: the well-intentioned head of state gives up something the tyrant needs (time) for nothing in hopes he’ll change his mind. History has shown this to be ineffective. That is the purpose of preconditions. A precondition is something the leader must give up before formal diplomacy is engaged.

Obama and Hitler
Ive been watching Valkyrie.
Any one who hangs out with me knows i like war story movies. I like to hear about brave men and women who stood up for what is right, regardless of opposition. Watching what Hitler made of his Germany im struck by the strange similarities between him and our new President. They are not identical unfortunately. it would make it far to easy to point out. more like they mirror each other.
Obama wants to take care of us, lift our every burden
Hitler showed people how to care for themselves, going so far as to find a scapegoat
Obama doesnt want us to think
Hiter showed the Germans how to think.
Obama strives for popularity from the youth
Hitler molded and trained them into his own personal army.
Obama weakens the populace by disarming us
Hitler armed his forces so the populace didnt have to
Obama is vauge in what he promises to deliver, never holding up under the scrutiny we give him in the privacy of our homes
Hitler appealed to the wants of the masses, made them think he could give them what they wanted without truly promising anything
Obama abuses the power of his office, going so far as to claim powers he has no right to.
Hitler abused the power entrusted to him by the people, taking power away from those who had it and distributing it or keeping it as he see fit.
Obama appeals to the lowwest common denominator to help care for our nation
Hitler encouraged every one to work for the good of the nation
Obama shows and then tries to cover his anti-semitism
Hitler made know his anti-semetic leanings
and last, but not least
Hitler wanted to control the world
Obama wants the world to control us.
Feel free to post this where ever you can
Ive had about enough
