The change really starts after that to where it became rather rapidly a new sitcom: "Bitchin' about the GOPers"

I forget who the poster was over there that posted massive numbers of pics every day from the official White House photog, but that was merely the tip of the iceberg, and as time has gone on, it has only gotten worse. That iceberg is melting, and not from global warming, but from the sheer amount of "Yay Blue!" hot air being generated with each new diary and comment.

enthusiastic about sports too, that's how he got them bamboozled into the Hitler youth. And the girls got bamboozled in the sister organization "BDM" Bund Deutscher Maedel". I would say their mothers were probably supportive of their girls to join, as they themselves were supportive enough of Hitler. Hitler promised them to end unemployment. Here a bit of histgorical context.

Women in Nazi Germany

After the First World War women in Germany were given the vote and a feminist elite, led by Rosa Luxemburg and Clara Zetkin, helped to shape the political post-war scene. Luxemburg, the leader of the Spartacus League, was murdered by the Freikorps in January, 1919, but other women replaced her at the forefront of politics and by 1932 they had 36 members of the Reichstag. Germany also had 100,000 women teachers, 13,000 women musicians and 3,000 women doctors. (1)

The Wall Street Crash caused serious problems for the German economy. The collapse in share prices meant an urgent need to repatriate American capital invested abroad. The number of registered unemployed in Germany rose from 1.6 million in October 1929 to 6.12 million in February 1932. Since these figures did not include the "invisible" unregistered unemployed, it has been estimated that the true figure was 7.6 million. "Thirty-three per cent of the workforce were without jobs. Taking into account dependants, perhaps twenty-three million people were affected by unemployment." (2)

During the early 1930s women often found it easier to find jobs than men. The main reason was that female labour was cheaper. As Richard Grunberger has pointed out: "Skilled women earned 66 per cent of men's wages, unskilled ones 70 per cent, which explains why during the Depression nearly one man in three (29 per cent) was dismissed but only one woman in every ten (11 per cent)... In 1933 women formed 37 per cent of the total employed labour force in Germany. (3)

Unemployment and the Nazi Party
During the election campaign in 1932, Adolf Hitler promised that if he gained power he would take 800,000 women out of employment within four years. Hitler told a delegation who had come to discuss women's rights with him he told them the solution was for every woman to have a husband. The American journalist, William L. Shirer, who was working in Germany at the time, has argued that politicians such as Adolf Hitler "thrive only... when the masses were unemployed, hungry and desperate". (4) In the election in November 1932 the Nazi Party won 230 seats, making it the largest party in the Reichstag. The German National Party, won nearly a million additional votes. (5)

Cate Haste, the author of Nazi Women (2001) has suggested that Hitler was popular with German women. "When Hitler came to power, almost half of those voting for him were women. His promise to restore order and end unemployment held strong appeal. German women had experienced the anarchy of street fighting between rival political gangs on their doorsteps. Unemployment bred uncertainty and discord at the heart of their family lives. Women who worked to keep their families as their husbands lost their jobs, or who saw their standard of life deteriorate, longed for stability and certainty - feelings successfully tapped by Hitler." (6)

Melita Maschmann was a young German woman who supported Hitler because she believed he would bring an end to unemployment: "Part of the misery about which the adults complained daily was unemployment. One could have no conception of what it mean for four, five or even six million people to have no work. Berlin had four million inhabitants…Imagine all the families living in Berlin having scarcely enough dry bread to satisfy their hunger... I believed the National Socialists when they promised to do away with unemployment… I believed them when they said they would reunite the German nation, which had split into more than forty political parties, and overcome the consequences of the dictated peace of Versailles." (7)

So, if the mothers were believers, their daughters were allowed to join the BDM. Oh, and all human beings are cute as babies.... thank God for that.

even though they're deluding themselves to get to that point:

by the exercise of doublethink he also satisfies himself that reality is not violated.

Truth is singular. It's 'versions' are mistruths.

But I think who is VP is about as urgently important as the party platform. Both seem mostly like a way to win voters who otherwise would not have voted for you through misdirection.

I'd be much more comfortable with a Hillary if she'd stop lying. She should choose a pro-business, pro-banking, anti-regulation, pro-women's rights running mate.
