    "The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation."

    I looked at a translation online, the entire quote isn't in there, just the first half. Here is how it is in the actual book.

    "[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]It must set race in the center of all life. It must take care to keep it pure. It must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. It must see to it that only the healthy beget children; that there is only one disgrace: despite one's own sickness and deficiencies to bring children into the world, and one highest honor: to renounce doing so. And conversely it must be considered reprehensible: to withhold healthy children from the nation. Here the state must act as the guardian of a millennial future in the face of which the wishes and the selfishness of the individual must appear as nothing and submit. It must put the most modern medical means in the service of this knowledge. It must declare unfit for propagation all who are in any way visibly sick or who have inherited a disease and can therefore pass it on, and put this into actual practice. Conversely, it must take care that the fertility of the healthy woman is not limited by the financial irresponsibility of a state régime which turns the blessing of children into a curse for the parents. It must put an end to that lazy, nay criminal, indifference with which the social premises for a fecund family are treated today, and must instead feel itself to be the highest guardian of this most precious blessing of a people. Its concern belongs more to the child than to the adult."[/FONT]

    So...if we value our children we are acting like Nazis? Sort of missing your point here.

    Hitler used children for propaganda purposes. Obama is using children for propaganda purposes. Children are easily taken advantage of, because they know no better. I think that is the point being taken.

    Believe me Hitler did not value Germany's childred. At the end of the War, kids were even being drafted and sent to their deaths on the battle field.

    The point is that we have politicians and elected officials that will exploit the fact that we love our children.

    They will use the fact that most of us are protective and loving of our children to strip you of your rights!

    If you go against these evil politicians you will be branded as someone who does not care for or love your children.

    Anyone who has a small iota of reason would come to the conclusion that this attack on our 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with children.

    Most of us look at the fact that Obama did not outright ban weapons as a victory! In a lot of ways what Obama is doing is just as evil........ this is only the beginning of the battle.

    The police state will collect and compile these lists and data about you.

    We must always be suspicious of our Government and politicians.

    Most here will just roll over and go back to sleep!

    Do you mean Hitler or Obama?

    It turned my stomach to see the children on that stage with Obama (3rd graders), just wonder how that affects these kids for the rest of their lives to have their president tell them they can get shot going to school!

    The key being that he wanted to associate the idea of loving your children with demanding protection, care, etc from the State. The State and the children were to be made inseparable in people's minds so that when the State made any demand for the "sake of the children", any dissent against the State could be redirected to a hatred of the children.

    EDIT:

    I also feel that the fact that even though you KNEW that Hitler himself made that suggestion, you still arrived at the mental association he desired is significant.

    The point is...

    The point is, "let's find a way to compare Obama to Hitler." Is Obama's use of kids disgusting? Yes, but why take the tinfoil leap and find a comparison to Hitler? All politicians, have and will continue using "think of the children," if it forwards their agenda; not just Obama and Hitler. I hate treads like these because they are intellectually dishonest, as well a intellectually void.
    For a person to believe that Obama is in anyway comparable to Hitler only proves how stupid they are.

    I don't think anyone here bothered to read the entire quote above. Context makes all the difference.

    Have you ever seen a politician of any ideology or from any era NOT use children as props at their victory speeches, on the campaign trail, etc.? After all, campaigning 101 is kissing babies for the camera to show that you "care". Quite a stretch to link Obama to Hitler because he put an emphasis on children.

    As it turns out, this is not even a quote from Mein Kampf but from a fictional letter written in 2004.
