The trains of the Holocaust.

The Final Solution could not have happened without the railways, without the trains making the mass transport possible.
The people were lulled into a false security. They were told that they were going to different places, better conditions, work camps, on and on and on.
The transports were usually cattle cars. At times, the floor of the car had a layer of quick lime which burned the feet of the human cargo.
Being Transported To Death Camps In Cattle Cars.
There was no water. There was no food. There was no toilet, no ventilation. Some boxcars had up to 150 people stuffed into them. It did not matter if it was summer, winter, boiling hot or freezing cold. And an average transport took about four and a half days.
Read a personal account.
Read a moving commentary on this.
Sometimes the Germans did not have enough cars to make it worth their while to do a major shipment of Jews to the camps, so the victims were stuck in a switching yard – "standing room only" – for two and a half days.
The longest transport of the war, from Corfu, took 18 days. When the train got to the camps and the doors were opened, everyone was already dead.
Yes concentration camps are all over the United States.
I pray that we the people will make a stand against the New world order and what's coming down in America!

+20Oh but the sheeple just ignore what is going on..They actually think our government is looking out for "We The People"?
The organizations affiliated with the Church must adhere to minimum employment regulations. This protects the workers from discrimination, unsafe conditions, and below standard pay levels. Are you saying that organizations affiliated with a religion should be allowed to use slave labor or operate sweat shops?
A hospital is not a church. It is an affiliated organization and must adhere to rules for hospitals. This is likely what is best for patients at the hospital as well as employees.
Schools are also not churches. They must also follow rules regarding child safety and minimum employment standards. Because they are private, they already don't have to apply teacher standards of curriculum standards. (And they already got a huge pass on molesting kids for decades thing.)
And, since church affiliated organizations get such a huge and sweeping amount of money from the government (which is why they organied as "affiliates" instead of part of the Church -- so that they coudl lreceive government grants) then they must follow the rules of any other federal governmetn grantee.
If they want to give up their tax exemption and federal funding, they would likely be able to say that the hospitals are pa...

If they want to give up their tax exemption and federal funding, they would likely be able to say that the hospitals are part of the church and maintain their exemptions. If they wanted to be separate, the certainly could. But when you attach yourself to government money, you attach yourself to government regulation as well.
FACTS missing from your comment, but Facts mean nothing to conservatives :
-The regulation Obama proposes has been on the books in 28 states for years, and the Church has complied without a quibble.
-The Catholic Health Association – the arm of the Church that’s actually involved in running the hospitals – has accepted Obama’s proposed compromise.
http://www.chausa.org/Pages/N...
If the arm of the Church that actually Runs the hospitals (as opposed to the Bishops, who don’t) is okay with the compromise, where’s the religious liberty implication? The Bishops won’t pay a dime to help contraception. The money and accounting are in two different organizations. Their religious freedom isn’t implicated at all.
When a religion impacts people who are not part of that religion – who decides the rules? Take their tax breaks away and see how much their opinion fade away.
So the govt would not, for instance, provide Medicare or Medicaid payments to any entity operated by a religious institution.
if we are going to separate – then let’s do it.
I realize Republicans and Conservatives are forbid from disguising or acknowledging the resent past unless its approved propaganda and talking points but....

Conservatives pick and choose when it comes to limiting freedom ...they had no issue with Bush and Cheney trounced all our freedoms......Obviously Conservative,Southerners and KKK only have problems with a Black President. If this were not the case where were these constitutional scholars when President Bush and his fellow Republicans in Congress expunged these rights
FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION: Government may monitor religious and political institutions without suspecting criminal activity to assist terror investigations.
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION: Government has closed once-public immigration hearings, has secretly detained hundreds of people without charges, and has encouraged bureaucrats to resist public records questions.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH: Government may prosecute librarians or keepers of any other records if they tell anyone that the government subpoenaed information related to a terror investigation.
RIGHT TO LEGAL REPRESENTATION: Government may monitor federal prison jailhouse conversations between attorneys and clients, and deny lawyers to Americans accused of crimes.
FREEDOM FROM UNREASONABLE SEARCHES: Government may search and seize Americans' papers and effects without probable cause to assist terror investigation.
RIGHT TO A SPEEDY AND PUBLIC TRIAL: Government may jail Americans indefinitely without a trial.
RIGHT TO LIBERTY: Americans may be jailed without being charged or being able to confront witnesses against them.
That good citizens are compliant and unconcerned regarding G.W. Bush's propensity to trample constitutional freedoms bespeaks a great ignorance or a great apathy, or both.
These rights have already been lost! Whether individual Americans have been personally subjected to the resultant tyranny or not doesn't change the fact that they have already lost these freedoms! This fact, alone, should be enough for any studious lover-of-liberty to be outraged.

The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment provides that all women are entitled with this coverage. Furthermore, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Roe v. Wade, found the Right to Privacy to be an implicit & Fundamental Right residing in the 1st, 4th, 9th & 14th Amendments and the Bill of Rights. This Privacy Right, the Supreme Court wrote, includes “contraception”, “abortion”, and other family related matters. Religious institutions hiring only members from their faith can rely on the 1st Amendment to exclude them from complying with the Affordable Care Act. Otherwise, the Equal Protections Clause & the Right to Privacy protect women working in religious organizations hiring members of all faiths.
-Catholic Charities gets received $73 million federal tax dollars
-There over head is 33% most charity run at 12%.
-Last year the Catholic Church spent over $5B to defend itself in molestation charges.(I wonder how many of our tax dollars went to defending Pedophiles?)

The Catholic Church lost its spirituality when it became the government in the Middle Ages. It has never rebuilt itself into an organization that follows the teachings of Christ. In fact, as a person raised Cathlic, I can say that Church teachings very rarely refer directly to scripture.
And you can think what you want, but 98% of US Catholics use birth control. Everybody is on board wtih this.
I'm sure it's debated, but quietly, most people use birth control. Who can afford to keep having kids? Even my mom, who had five before the doctor told her she should stop, had enough sense to ignore the pope so she would be healthy enough to take care of th ekids she had already instead of popping out another one every year or so.
My sister-in-law, who is allegedly Catholic, was unaware that using birth control is against Catholic doctrine. She goes to church every Sunday!
According to polling, Catholic women who have used birth control amount to only one percentage point less than the population of American women at large who have used birth control. So, to quote Earl Butz on Paul VI's policy on birth control: He no playa the game, he no maka the rules.
And again, the church is still free to preach its outdated unapplied idea. It is even free to force its opinion on its own employees. What it is not free to do is to force its opinion on the employees of affiliated organizations. This is the employees' freedom from religion, and does not change what the church or its members do.
The Church is so obsessed with sex of all kinds that it forgets what Jesus was about. The pope chastised a group of nuns for focusing too much on poverty and not enough on birth control. What is wrong with these people? It's bad enough inside the Church. The least these old farts could do is keep it to themselves.
The Church has been about money since they sold the first indulgence. And calling the pope, cardinals, and bishops "old farts" was really just referring to their age, but I could do without that second part, I guess. THey are old, and they are not affected by the outdated policy they are trying to enforce.
(and actually I was forced into being a Christian, but by my mother;-)
