Topic Author's Original Post - Mar 6, 2009 - 07:57pm PT
*I was born in one country, raised in another. My father was born in another country. I was not his only child. He fathered several children with numerous women.*

*I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me. My mother died at an early age from cancer.*

*Later in life, questions arose over my real name.*

*My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.*

*I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my country, but*

*I practiced non-traditional beliefs & didn't follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.*

*I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.*

*That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and I embarked on a new career.*

*I wrote a book about my struggles growing up. It was clear to those who read my memoirs that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.*

*I became active in local politics in my 30's then with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40's. They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything. That reinforced my conceit.*

*I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, an not experience in leading a single organization. Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me as though I were a magnet. and they were small roofing tacks.*

*I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances. This bolstered my ego.*

*At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy. I was very critical of my country in the last war and seized every opportunity to bash my country.*

*But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country's economy. I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better and every poor person would be fed & housed for free.*

*I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess. It was the free market, banks & corporations. I decided to start making citizens hate them and if they were envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.*

*I called mine "A People's Campaign" and that sounded good to all people.*

*I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics & was able to gain widespread popular support.*

*I knew that, if I merely offered the people "hope", together we could change our country and the world.*

*So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include "persecuted minorities" like the Jews. My true views were not widely known & I needed to keep them unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.*

*I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with.*

*I'm glad they didn't. Then I became the most powerful man in the world. And then and only then, the world learned the truth.*

As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wifes.
Each wife had seven sacks.
Each sack had seven cats.

Wives, sacks, cats, how many were going to St. Ives?

"My true views were not widely known & I needed to keep them unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.*"

Which doesn't describe Hitler in the least. Read Mein Kampf - published 1924. His world view was very well known. There might be some question as to people at the time really believed what he said, or that he'd carry it into force, but it was no secret.

Otherwise, my answer is John Galt.

Who IS John Galt?

I put up a stellar .11a at Smith in the mid '90's called "The John Galt Line" when I was fascinated by Anne Rand.
It's apropos to climbing, a previously unseen climb smack in the middle of a popular front-side area, or else I would regret it...

So was it really an 11?

I rated it .10+, but like all good climbs, it got up-graded.

Sorry, Ayn - I knew that.

LEB, by the time Hitler and the Nazis took power in January 1933, there were literally millions of copies of Mein Kampf in Germany. He had no secret agenda.

Of the claims in the list, the following are false insofar as Obama goes:

"Later in life, questions arose over my real name.": No question ever as to Obama's proper name.

"My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.": Outright falsehood.


"I practiced non-traditional beliefs & didn't follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.": Obama has been an actively practicing Christian for 20+ years. It may not mean any more than George Bush's Christianity, but apart from an open mind, Obama shows no sign of holding non-traditional beliefs.

"I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better and every poor person would be fed & housed for free.": So does every candidate to become US president.

"My true views were not widely known & I needed to keep them unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.": What, that Obama is a pragmatic centrist? No secret there.

"I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with.": Millions HAVE read Obama's writings. And, for that matter, millions DID read (and believe) Hitler's writings.

Millenarianist paranoid fantasies can only be based on simplistic and wilful misinterpretation of the facts.

Whenever you do anything for money, Rox, it decreases the pleasure of the effort - that is why volunteerism is so satisfying.

I could not even conceive of being paid to post - another thing to fret about.

I got the OP's intention just fine, thank you. Which is why I was mocking him, and you. Which produced the fascinating tidbit that you are an Ayn Rand fan - it explains a lot about your world view.

It has been famously said that foreign wars are god's way of giving Americans (United Statesians) geography lessons. If only she would figure out some way to give them history lessons.

I agree Anders but it's not like the rest of the world has figured it out either.

And this a stupid f*#king thread if there ever was one. LEB, you should know better.

The OP is plagiarized.

It is factually inaccurate.

One can find similarities with anyone else by selectively limiting or expanding one's terms; he breathes oxygen = ANYONE vs. he killed millions = Hitler, Stalin, Pot, etc.,???

I could find many more similarities between the members of the Republican party (or just Bush or McCain) and the Nazi party: Hitler was a decorated war hero. So is McCain.

Hitler was born outside the country he ran for president of. So was McCain.

Hitler had a poor academic record. So did McCain and Bush.

The Nazis hated trade unions. So do Republicans

The Nazis advocated pre-emptive invasion. So do Bush/McCain

The Nazis advocated low tax rates. So do Republicans.

The Nazis advocated reducing regulations on businesses. So do Republicans

The Nazis strongly encouraged german women not to have abortions. So do Republicans.

The Nazis hated communists. So do Republicans

I don’t get it. Is there some kind of inference the Moron is trying to make?
