Hitler discussion must be making the rounds at this time. We have 
been discussing him from a karmic standpoint. And as long as you are 
not saying they are the same person, I don't think you are, then I am 
fine with this analogy.

One thing I would add they both thought they were something they were 
not: true wannabes. How? Well, Hitler thought he was an Aryan, but he 
did not in any wise fit the Aryan phenotype to say the least. He was 
pale if not swarthy, had black or dark hair I believe and was not 
tall and was raised a CATHOLIC. He was not even a good WASP! He hated 
any group that was not Aryan, not just Jews, people keep loosing 
sight of that. He wiped out the Gypsies -- their heritage is Indian, 
and technically they were Aryans. So he was indiscrimanate in his 
objects. And as Himmler or one those guys said "I decide who is a 
Jew." Hitler thought himself a artist or painter, he was not. I am 
not sure if Bush thinks himself an intellectual but he surely 
surrounds himself with some. And BTW they are Jewish the 
intellectuals he relies upon. I find that dangerous--because they are 
known revisionists of American and world history. But he was a 
mediocre student who attended and graduated from an Ivy school. I 
thought the reason for going to such a school should be because you 
have at least aspirations to intellectuality, not just "Skull and 
Cross bone" material--silly me.

And you forgot one thing he and Hitler both believed they are set 
apart and called to something special. I believe it is demonstrated 
by Hitler's fascination with the occult (did this in past lives as 
well) and by Bush's membership in the Skull's elitist group--which 
has been documented BTW.

Netemara

There is a new book written by a young woman on the Bush -- Skull 
connections. She went to Yale and has some insider information. She's 
a WASP.
