A terrible museum I can't pass up is the Holocaust Museum. It is just a block off the National Mall in Washington DC. It is right next to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving - where they make our money.
When Hitler and the Nazi's came to power - they went after the Press - the Gypsies - the Gays - the Jews - the Intellectuals - the Teachers - the Judiciary. When Jews left Germany on a ship - they were turned away at the American Coast. Hitler admired the military - he loved parades - he loved people to praise him by raising their hands and saying "Heil Hitler." He had absolute power.
The Holocaust Museum documents what Hitler and the Nazis did to the Jews and others. The museum is there to remind us so that it never happens again.
The Republican party has lost its conscience. They have learned that they can vote themselves a dole out of the treasury. The party of balanced budgets that represented me is gone. They are anti-black - anti-Mexican - anti-immigrant - anti-Muslim. They make laws against gays. They run up the deficit. They vote against Social Security - Medicare - and National Medical Care. They are anti-public schools - and for funding private schools. They favor one religion over others.
In trying times - America has had pride on being on the right side of history. When they ask you what you were doing during this revolution - what will you say?
