Perhaps you are as disgusted by this as I am? These orgiastic examples of propaganda for Obama are sickening, we all know. In fact, not only are they sickening, entirely un-American, and even dangerous, they are hypocritical. After all, the same drooling, Obamagobsmacked pseudo intellectuals that created these bits of PR puffery would have been apoplectic if so many schools would have sang songs extolling the virtues of George W. Bush… or any other Republican, for that matter. Call it a brainwashing tool, call it agitprop, indoctrination, or what ever you like. But at least when we've had celebrations of president in schools in the past the president in question at least had the decency to have already left office or even died — or at the very least was in attendance at the performance to politely applaud the little kiddie's efforts. These various efforts at Obamaganda were un-burdened by any rationale but to inculcate praises for dear leader in the young, impressionable minds of our school children. Yep, it's pretty disgusting, alright. Well, it's nice we can sing praises to something in our schools now, I suppose. After all, the ACLU and the Democrats have summarily eliminated anything that might be reasonably construed as a reference to Christianity. So, Dear Leader has replaced all that "God" stuff with himself in our schools. All praise Obama. He's The One. May he reign as our ruler forever. So says, Gary "Nietzsche cum Wagner" Fry, so say we all. Descriptions of the four clips linked above:
#1- A fascist-styled paramilitary youth corps video made by a teacher at the Urban Community Leadership Academy in Kansas City, Mo. #2- The parents of a private school in Venice, California forced their kids to sing praises to Dear Leader while their Hollyweird pals made a nice, slick production out of the affair. #3- This video was made by "Mr. B" and the kids from "room 8" in what I think is a public grade school in Georgia. #4- Of course, we all remember this clip whose tag line is "Barack Hussein Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm," made famous by the kiddies from B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington Township, NJ. The songs were written by Ms. Charisse Carney-Nunes, a children's author.View Comments
