Bonvino:
Look, Dana, they're trying to portray Border Patrol agents and ICE agents as Gestapo, Nazi, and many other words.
Stephen:
Yes, do not compare ICE or Border Patrol agents to the Nazis. That's an unfair comparison. The Nazis were willing to show their faces.

81 years ago on January 25, 1945 the Battle of the Bulge (Bastogne Belgium) was declared officially ended. Allied casualties were placed at about 80,000, killed, wounded, and captured. PFC Vincent Speranza reminds everyone that liberty and freedom is not free.

Excerpt from Larry King's interview of Frank Zappa in 1985. Tell me if this doesn't sound eerily familiar?

On December 26th 1941 prime minister Winston Churchill was given the very rare and privileged opportunity to speak at a joint session of Congress. He spoke about the anticipated joint effort between the United States and Great Britain in defeating fascism. These are the final words of his speech.
