What else is new. The Republican Party went over to the Dark Side after Eisenhower. Both the Republicans and the “Christians” basically embrace Nazi Family values including racism, homophobia and misogyny. Other Nazi values include extreme nationalism and militarism along with a worshiping of troops as Warriors.
The have peddled fear while pursuing violent aggressive politics both at home and internationally.
The choice this election is clear. You can support Obama and the Democrats or let the Nazis win.

But it was Mecklenburg’s presumption that a traumatized rape victim “will not ovulate even if she is ‘scheduled’ to” that appeared to be the basis of Akin’s recent remarks.
To support his conclusion, Mecklenburg cited studies that were allegedly done at extermination camps in Nazi Germany.
