Meanwhile, back in the real world- Here's yet another parallel between Nazis and Republicans: The Nazis wanted their women barefoot and pregnant too!

-The Nazis considered it uncivilized of the Western Allies to allow women to work in the war factories and serve in auxiliary roles in the military. They considered it downright barbaric that the Russians had women fighting on the front lines.

-The Nazis gave medals to the women who had the most children. Much like today's Republicans, they saw them as little more than baby-making machines.

"The mission of women is to be beautiful and to bring children into the world. This is not at all as.........unmodern as it sounds. The female bird pretties herself for her mate and hatches eggs for him. In exchange, the male takes care of gathering food, and stands guard and wards off the enemy."
Joseph Goebbels, writing in 1929.


"In the Germanic nations there has never been anything else than equality of rights for women. Both sexes have their rights, their tasks, and these tasks were in the case of each equal in dignity and value, and therefore man and woman were on an equality."
Hitler in 1935

It's the year that Republicans overreach and self-destruct. The prophecy was right: 2012 is The End -for some.
