I recently saw the first video of the school kids singing the Barack Obama song in class. At first I thought it was the promo for the new Children_of_the Corn film or perhaps another remake of Village of the Damned, but alas, it is not. It is real. But I think its way scarier than either of those two retreads will be. This is the single spookiest thing Ive seen since Jeepers Creepers in the theater. Its a bigger freak show than that Nancy Pelosi press conference where she lied about the CIA.
But, it tells us a lot. It is another nugget of insight into the twisted logic and belief system that plagues the modern left. It should be analyzed, discussed, and studied like the Zapruder film.
Again, I must reiterate that if the left wants to discredit charges of Socialism, Communism, Nazism and Fascism; they should really think about not emulating Fascist, Communist, Socialist and Nazi regimes. As a child I remember films of kids my age in China, all dressed in creepy uniforms with red ties, pledging allegiance to photos of Chairman Mao.
This was shown to illustrate a BAD thing, not as a trailer of things to come.
Nationalism? Respect for the President? Pride in civic responsibility? Im all about it. I think reciting the Pledge of Allegiance before the school week is a great tradition. Singing songs that praise a specific, contemporary leader and his policies? Meh, not really a good idea.
The teacher of this class, and a good number of the parents of the students involved will be confused by my outrage. On MSNBC, Norah ODonnell seemed equally puzzled. Theyre just kids. Its just a song about the president. How is that indoctrination?
Why are you quirky tea-baggers letting your kettle boil over?(continued)

If this blatant display does not creep a person out then they have no concept or appreciation of the checks and balances that have made this the greatest country on the planet.
I see that and wonder how far away the 0bama Fedayeen is from existence in America?

Obamas Little Blue Book and the Egg of Power
By Michelle Malkin, January 26, 2009
Tons of people have e-mailed about the Little Blue Book of Obama sayings that a firm called the History Company is hawking on its website. Yes, they really are selling them in 10-packs for $49.50 and yes, the resemblance to Maos Little Red Book is striking. Weirdly, Pocket Obama has a plain blank cover and smacks of a gag especially the last line [it was not a gag -etl]:
"Printed in a size that easily fits into pocket or purse, this book is an anthology of quotations borrowed from Barack Obamas speeches and writings. POCKET OBAMA serves as a reminder of the amazing power of oratory and the remarkable ability of this man to move people with his words. His superb and captivating oratory style has earned comparisons to John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, and this historic collection presents words that catapulted his remarkable rise to the American Presidency. It is an unofficial requirement for every citizen to own, to read, and to carry this book at all times-The History Company [the book is no longer listed on the History Company's web site -etl].

"From May 1966, student members of the Communist Party were encouraged to carry copies of Mao's Little Red Book of quotations. Acting under Mao's leadership, these "Red Guards" used his quotations in their mission to weed out intellectuals. With themes such as Correcting Mistaken Ideas and All Reactionaries are Paper Tigers, the quotations became the standard by which all revolutionary efforts were judged."

"It's the Obomanation, stupid."

They can't. That's what they are. This is what they believe.
I wanted to make an art piece of Barack Obama because I thought an iconic portrait of him could symbolize and amplify the importance of his mission. I believe Obama will guide this country to a future where everyone can thrive and I should support him vigorously for the sake of my two young daughters. I have made art opposing the Iraq war for several years, and making art of Obama, who opposed the war from the start, is like making art for peace. I know I have an audience of young art fans and Im delighted if I can encourage them to see the merits of Barack Obama.

Let's demand the schools sing glorifying songs about President George Bush in the name of political diversity. Would they be fair and do it just as gleefully? If not, why not?
What concerns me is that this worship song is to the tune of “Jesus Loves the Little Children”.
FUBO
Great article. Scratch a hardcore lib and you see a fascist underneath.
This was shown to illustrate a BAD thing, not as a trailer of things to come.

Here is something those who don’t understand might relate to. When I was a child the school put on Christmas programs in which we children sang a number of Christmas Carols. Some of them were religioius in nature, like Away In A Manger, O Come All Ye Faithful, etc. At some point it was decided that this made non-Christians uncomfortable and that, even if one child felt uncomfortable because these were not the beliefs in the home, these types of school programs needed to be stopped. Well, it is THAT. Not all kids come from Obama-centered homes and they are uncomfortable. And parents don’t like their children being engaged with beliefs that are contrary to their own...especially without their knowledge. Leftys ought to be able to understand this.
Work will set you free!
It will make everyone feel better if they remember that schoolchildren sang to Ceaucescu too — and look what happened to that dictator.
What’s it going to take for the average American to wake up and realize Zer0’s true agenda?
