"What reminds me more of Hitler than anything else isn’t Trump, it’s the destruction of freedom of speech on the college campuses — the agendas fueled by the professors."

    While I agree that things haven't descended quite as far as either Hitler or Stalin, this dangerous trend of stifling free speech is straight out of the fascist playbook and has been one of the seminal signals of an oppressive regime. That it is happening on the campuses which should be bastions of free speech should be a huge warning sign to all who favor individual rights and their protection.

    BTW, I don't really mean to be snide. I just don't think President Trump or restrictions on unpopular speech on college campuses are like Hitler. I also hope it's obvious that "not like Hitler" is a low bar, not a sign that everything's great.

    Most protesters don't even know what they are protesting. I saw Waters world , a guy who goes to events or demonstrations and asks some people basic questions about the issue and for the most part the libitards have no idea of reality.

    Nice quotes. Couldn't agree more. However, the article on the same page for perpetual motion machines "magnet generator" does take away from the general credibility of this site.

    Trump should defund Berkeley, and certainly NOT pay for the destruction caused by the rioters.

    If I had a kid, I would not send them to american colleges to be indoctrinated by leftists. What a waste of ones short life

    "Poor education," Inga said.
    Money spent on ever-increasing bloated college tuition is sending kids to receive a "poor education."
    Me dino knew that. I just never put those two words together in regard to libtard indoctrination on the level of so-called high learning.

    Some people liken President Trump to Hitler, while others liken Berkeley protesters to Hitler. A somewhat snide way to rephrase my thought on this is I'm calling Godwin's Law.

    "I think she falls into this thinking that Hitler/fascism is the only form of destruction of liberty."

    This article doesn't reference her entire comments, but I don't see in here where she makes such a claim. I believe that what she is specifically referencing is the claim by some leftists that Trump is the new Hitler.

    "I don't see the parallel at all between campus free speech and Hitler."

    According to this woman, Hitler's regime stifled free speech and encouraged only a single viewpoint - punishing dissenters. You don't think that is precisely what is happening on campuses like Berkeley?

    " And if people aren’t educated properly and given the ability to think freely — we will repeat that history."
    I agree with some of what she says, but I think she falls into this thinking that Hitler/fascism is the only form of destruction of liberty. I don't see the parallel at all between campus free speech and Hitler. But that doesn't mean it's okay. Things can be very wrong and not be at all like Hitler/fascism.
