How do you know this?

TeeVee.  Do you know otherwise and, if so, how?  Are you personal friends?  A campaign insider?  Please tell.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Later in life, sure. But he was baptized, confirmed and raised in the Catholic tradition.As Fuhrer, he spoke repeatedly of his love for "positive Christianity"

But that misses the point, really...which is the absurdity of comparing to such disparate things as Hitler-Cruz and PolPot-Trump. Idiocy of the highest magnitude.

Do you really think Hitler got down on his knees and prayed to a Jew?  I don't think so.

Yes, he certainly did at his confirmation.

And for the record, his hatred of Jews grew out of the war and his experiences immediately after the war.

Well, he probably knew something of the history of Europe as well.  Almost every country there threw the Jews out at one time or another.

That is true, Europe has a long history of anti-semitism...something that is rearing its head anew.

Ironically, Medieval Islam was far more tolerant of Judaism than was Christianity...now things have shifted, sadly.

What Trumpers don't recognize is they are the opposite side of the same coin as the Bernie/Hillary supporters. They want govt to solve all their problems and guarantee them the life "they should have had".

I know most Trumpers don't see it, but Christianity is under attack and when Trump had the opportunity to defend it against the LGBT movement he sided with them. We are approaching the day when people will only be allowed to worship in their church, but not live out their faith once they walk out the door. Trump has no sensitivity to this nor do a lot of his followers.

Just read this thread.  A big  :amen: from me.  What informs my support for Cruz us that he has a very real understanding of the fact that our freedoms are under attack.
