B. Bernice Young Elementary Kids Sing Praises of Obama
Associated Content ^ | 9/25/09 | Mark Wittington

Posted on 09/25/2009 7:34:56 AM PDT by DogBarkTree

Another video of children singing praises of Barack Obama has surfaced on Youtube. In this case the kids appear to be students at B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, New Jersey. The overall effect is somewhat creepy.

American patriotic hymns do not, as a rule, celebrate people, even great ones like Washington and Lincoln. The Star Spangled Banner and the Battle Hymn of the Republic celebrate the common people of America, struggling to win and to maintain freedom.

What happened at B. Bernice Young Elementary School is even more egregious in the fact that at least for the Sing for Change video, the parents suborned their own children for the propaganda spectacle. It is doubtful that any parents of the kids at B. Bernice Young Elementary School even knew that their kids were going to be singing Maoist style praise songs for 'Barack Hussein Obama.'

The lyrics themselves bear some examination.

"He said red, yellow, black or white

All are equal in his sight.

Barack Hussein Obama."

That's right, the lyrics and the music come directly from "Jesus Loves the Little Children." This is going beyond the beyonds, as this writer's Irish granny used to say.

The false prophet is a deceiver. His followers are worshipping him as a god. God is not smiling.

Can you imagine the outrage if President Bush's fans did things like this.

What’s going to be done about it?

Probably not a whole lot.

The words of the chant are from Jesus Love the Little Children, but the tune they sing is the Battle Hymn of the Republic. A lot of what is going on there is a ripoff of Christian material. No, God is not amused.

So this teacher was BO’s classmate back in the day. I’m thinking she must’ve called him to get the ok to do this and to use his middle name in the song. Or else, it was all his idea.

The New Jersey Education Commissioner is investigating. Since it’s NJ, you’re probably right, nothing will be done about it.

So ironic...if this song had been sung about Jesus (who just happened to be resurrected from the dead) rather than Obama (who just happens to be black and got elected president), it never would have been allowed in the same school.

The mixing of Christian songs, words and music with brainwashing ideas, and words by passes the brains normal monitoring systems and allows the new information to go directly into the subconscious mind.

This is exactly how the tyrants /Totalitarians of the world do it ...with the children.

FTA:

Superintendent Christopher Manno said in a written statement Thursday that the taping itself was out of order, but failed to address whether the lesson was approved. "The recording and distribution of the class activity were unauthorized," he wrote in a note to parents and the media.

THis is the same kind of excuse we're hearing from ACORN in their lawsuit against Hannah and James -- the taping is "unauthorized". IOW criminal, or unethical, or stupid behavior is OK, it's just the "taping" that is unauthorized!

I have too. That’s why i think he had something to do with this child indoctrination thing. Or is it just a coincidence that the teacher who did this was his classmate.

And as far as using the middle name, remember during the campaign they downplayed that as much as possible; now it’s “in your face America, i’m Barack Hussein Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm! Hoo!”

The disturbing thing is knowing that these babies had to have practiced this for days to be able to do as well as they did. It was not just a one-day indoctrination.

NO

The book shown in the video was written by someone who attended Harvard at the same time as OBama. She is the one that posted the video on Youtube and then took it down after the hubbub started.

So the question is who actually wrote the lyrics. Charisse has a NAPPY song for kids that has lyrics like this

lay down with massah nappy
bare his children nappy

etc...

you can hear it on myspace.

someone got that tape to Charisse Carney Nunes who put it on youtube.. Since her book was seen in the video..you have to wonder if Charisse was there.

Hell, the song is catchy. It’s stuck in my head. Those kids won’t forget that song probably ever. And they’ve got the body motions to go with the thing. Swinging their hands back and forth, and swinging their hips. Damn straight it’s disturbing!

I don’t know about you but i still remember most of those songs i learned in kindergarten up to 3rd grade. Those old timey songs like “Streets of Laredo” and “Oklahoma”.

I’m trying to recall when it was that this video first showed up here on FR. I know I saw it long before this flap errupted. Anyone else recall when it was?

I woke up night before last, dreaming about a horse. I couldn't fall back asleep because the song The Old Gray Mare kept running through my mind and it hasn't stopped yet. Those kids in the video will probably remember those songs forever. I hope they can overcome the brainwashing they are getting.

Wonder if next we’ll be seeing “Barack’s Little Red Book”. I would expect to see this in China or Korea where political indoctrination starts in the crib. What are 2nd graders doing singing about equal pay for equal work? Very frightening!

Who wrote the lyrics?

According to the Fox News article, Charisse Carney-Nunes, an activist and author of the children's book "I Am Barack Obama," claims the children wrote the songs on their own.

Riiiiiight.

A lot of second graders use the word "doth" all the time. And before the kids had this song as an outlet, I'm sure they spent most of recess discussing equal work/equal pay.

It's reached the point where I don't know whether I'm more offended by the lies of Obama worshippers, or the fact that the transparent idiocy of their lies suggests that they think I'm dumb as a rock.

It does bring back some good memories. My aunt used to sing it to me. I haven’t heard or thought about it for decades.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ5DjJFCEXI

The old gray mare,
She ain’t what she used to be
Ain’t what she used to be,
Ain’t what she used to be
The old gray mare,
She ain’t what she used to be
Many long years ago.

Many long years ago,
Many long years ago,
The old gray mare,
She ain’t what she used to be
Many long years ago.

The old gray mare,
She kicked on the whiffletree,
Kicked on the whiffletree,
Kicked on the whiffletree
The old gray mare,
She kicked on the whiffletree
Many long years ago.

Many long years ago,
Many long years ago,
The old gray mare,
She kicked on the whiffletree
Many long years ago.

They probably don’t even know what many of the lyrics mean.
Btw, one article I read said Charisse had accepted a job working for the White House.

Can’t remember the office...maybe transportation.

I wonder how old the “retired” school teacher is..how convenient that she retired.

I listened and now remember that song.

Saw a couple others on youtube that were familiar. “I’ve been working on the Railroad” and “Skip to my Lou”. And i don’t know if anyone else knows of one called (ok this is really corny, but it was kindergarten) “Bouncy, Bouncy Bally”....anyone?
