- My, my, my. Kevin, do you not know the slightest bit of history
- behind Nazi Germany? He wrote _Mein Kampf_ well before he was elected to
- office. His hatred of the Jews were well known. He built his power using his
- remarks, and using and harnessing the anger of the German people.
- Perot made it perfectly clear that he favored door to door, Big
- Brother searches of all homes in the lesser neighborhoods. Yet, many still
- voted for him.
- Bush made it perfectly clear that he had no intention of supporting
- civil liberties, nor the proliferation of democracy/republics. Yet, many
- still voted for him.
- etc...

- Whether or not, I "get the idea", does not excuse making fallacious
- statements.

- That is a strawman arugement, solely depending on whether or not
- you want to call athiesm a religion. Hence, it is a semetic arguement, not a
- constitutional one.
