I can not help but see the same adoration by the left of Obama...the Dear Leader who, in their ignorant view, is fixing all of the ills of our country.
The adoring crowds, the praising, the fawning, the mindless acceptance of his views and actions, the willing loss of freedom....very familiar, indeed.
Yes, North Koreans must praise their leader because the real reason is brainwashing and fear. If they do not praise him with incredible emotion, they will get a one way ticket to a concentration camp, if they are not exterminated first.
But what drives the adoration and praise for our leader? I think it is, pure and simple, class envy, laziness, and stupidity. And, there is plenty of that in this country. When all goes to hell in hand basket - which it will - these same people will blame everything else and everyone else for the sad state of affairs they so willingly and enthusiastically voted for.
It is too close to what we see, though not that extreme . But i think the NK incredible emotion is real, and that these are raised to worship the Great Leader, which libs would like to see here.
And as man will always worship something, atheism will replace one with the other, while Jesus manifests the one God worthy of devotion, which is best for man.
