Anybody that follows politics knows how strange it can become at times. I can't count how many times I have woken up and wondered if I had somehow, during the night, been transported into some bizarro world. Barny Frank's denial of having anything to do with the collapse of Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac is one of those times and this next little bit is one too . . . in spades.
This video, created by the Obama campaign, is just so flat creepy it flat scares me. If you read up on Fascism (see the book "Liberal Fascism" in the library section here) you see that indoctrinating the children is one of the first steps in rolling over the people. Madrassas just don't happen in Tehran and Pakistan folks. From the looks of this, we are apparently building cults of personality in Venice California. With Obama stepping into the White House, the "fairness" doctrine, to crush conservative talk radio, and a 21st century Kristallnacht [Link] for conservatives won't be far behind.
For a little contrast I have included this tidbit from the wonderland of South Korean strong man Kim Jong Il. They are more than I little alike.
I'd also like to point out that how stupid Obama's boys think you are. This pro production starts out with its aw shucks "one sunday night . . . " like it was just a passel of concerned citizen Obama supporters from next door. Apparently you weren't supposed to see the two (fail-safe) broadcast quality mike set-up or how the huge Obama logos were perfectly drafted but with a little rough edge to make it look like the kids did them themselves. How about the diffusers over the windows with the big wattage to soften up the light and fill up the room. A real pro move. And last but not least the complex, steady as a rock, east/west tracking shots inches behind the kids' heads. That wasn't done by mom or pop with the palm cam, trust me. This was a big time production made to try and fool you into thinking something completely different.
So with Obama's proposed "mandatory" volunteerism and other Fascist pieces, I wonder, is this the "change" or "hope" part? That sure doesn't make any sense so maybe Obama's new slogan should be "Indoctrination".
Update 10/12/08
Indoctrination of the youth has always been a leftist trademark. They know that you've got to get 'em while they're young to sustain the movement. Bend their minds early and forever. This just in from my town, a flyer for Obama youth marches [from Michelle Malkin]. The "wish flags" reinforcing the cult of personality is a nice touch. And how does this Erica Berg know of Obama's "core beliefs"? I haven't seen one yet:
Grassroots "Kids for Obama Parade" (Organizing)
On Sunday, October 12, Washington State kids and families will parade around Seattle's Green Lake. "Kids for Obama Parade" will illustrate one of Barack Obama's core beliefs: Everyone's voice counts. Join us as Obama's youngest supporters rally their families and call for change, for a better America. At 2 pm, rain or shine, children and teens will express with words and drawings their hopes for the future of America on "wish flags" that will be mailed to Obama. The first 300 kids will be given a helium balloon, an expression of solidarity. At 3 pm, the "Kids for Obama Parade" will skip, toddle, stroller, rollerblade, pedal, and red-wagon clockwise around Green Lake in a cloud of red, white, and blue balloons and a garland of kid-made wish flags. How to prepare: If possible, bring home-made signs and wear red, white, and/or blue clothing. That goes for moms, dads, big brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, grandparents too. Please spread the word.
