HISTORY OFTEN REPEATS ITSELF

In 1938 Hitler marched into Austria and took over.  No. not with tanks and other weapons of war.  No the people of Austria invited him in like any guest in their home.  They cheered and waved the Swastika flag and showered the troops with flowers.  Hitler gave his familiar stiff arm salute as he rode in that big open staff car of his to the shouts of joy of the Austrian people.
You see, times were tough in Austria.  Inflation was rampant and money was worthless.  Crime was out of control.  People were out of work.  There were shortages of all the necessities of life.  The government was corrupt and self-serving (sound familiar)?
So what did Hitler do?  He put his "Brown Shirts" in the streets and, along with Martial Law, put crime out of business.  He closed government offices and threw the scoundrels out replacing them with his own scoundrels.  He took over industry, gave everybody a living wage.  He outlawed weapons of any kind--turn them all in or else.
It was too late when the people finally discovered that they had no freedoms.  They had given them all away.  Funny how history repeats itself!..........Medicineman!
