This pivotal event in the rise of the Nazis to power isn't well known enough: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstag_fire

Good thing nothing like that could happen today really.

"Did I say red?"

1) the right to assembly is guaranteed by the Constitution
2) so are free speech and freedom of/from religion, which by themselves makes all this stupid marriage prejudice unconstitutional. Um, like, the 1700's with nuclear weapons? It's not about religion. It's about equality --damn it. And that is exactly what the Nazis didn't want. They wanted dictatorships in all its racist prejudice religiously fanatic purity. Who said they could try again here, with liberty and justice for all?
