Ok folks, I am really confused as to whether we’ve officially entered an alternate dimension. This video which shows about 10 black adolescent men wearing combat fatigues, gold painted boots and black t-shirts, all chanting praises to Obama while “stepping” came to my attention earlier on:
Now, for the record, I’ve been a member of a Black Fraternity (the oldest and the coldest one, just in case you’re wondering which) for close to a decade and a half, and the process of stepping and chanting is neither new nor alien to me. What is out of the ordinary is to see young men take the time and effort to get together and engage in synchronized activity for the explicit purpose of adulating a politician.
Personality cults existed in Germany under Hitler, in the Soviet Union under everyone from Stalin to Gorbachev, in China under Mao, and they still exist in Cuba, North Korea, Libya and Iran (albeit for the Mullahs in power).
In America as Americans, despite our staunch republicanism, if we must idolize anyone or anything in government; we idolize the Constitution of these United States, our democratic institutions, due process and the rule of law. We never, ever, idolize individuals, especially those who are still alive and merely running for public office.
Alas, since Barack Obama started his run for President our tradition of due process, and putting Country (and not individual) First, has been systematically eroded by him and his surrogates. We’ve seen the replacement of the normal with the absurd with things such as the Great Seal of Obama, his coronation at the Barackopolis, Obama coins, and we’ve even heard the “Obama Youth” Chorus compose and sing odes to him.
We’ve also seen how his Brownshirts operate and stifle dissent by shutting down radio stations which have the audacity to air shows which are critical of him, we know how he instructs his followers to argue and get in the faces of those who dare disagree with positions that do not recognize him as the savior and redeemer of mankind, we also know how he threatens to SIC the IRS on left of center organizations which dare to feature McCain/Palin. Last but not least, no one can forget how he threatens to use institutions of state to harass and intimidate those who publicly promote positions critical of him.
Which brings me back to the issue of this video. Knowing Obama’s track record, astroturfing was in most likelihood involved in some way shape or form. But even if it wasn’t, what kind of message is being sent to the general public when paramilitary youth dressed in combat fatigues are doing the black version of the goose-step all for the explicit purpose of adulating Obama?
For those who want to say “it’s a black thing” and I don’t understand, please refer to the second paragraph of this post. Incidentally, I would just be as freaked out if McCain had the same proclivity for megalomania as Obama, and a bunch of white men dressed in paramilitary garb engaged in some synchronized activity while singing his praises.
Incidentally, even though it seems Obama is qualified to lead his goon squads, Sarahcuda, thinks (as do all P.U.M.As), that Obama is not qualified to be the Commander-in-Chief of a military he accused of “air raiding villages and killing civilians”…
