Obama Worship: More Of A Feature Rather Than A Bug

UPDATED: It's not just schools. This is even creepier than those.
Thanks to Sandra and my wife for finding this link.

UPDATE II: To my anonymous commenter. How would you feel if these children where chanting back platitudes from the political campaign of George W. Bush?

I didn't think it would get much worse than this clip. But then, the question, "Can it get any worse?" has slowly been turning rhetorical the past few months.

Involuntary indoctrination of little children to worship a cult of personality. No wonder why Obama wants to make the school year longer.

No surprise why home schooling is catching on.

Quote For The Week: To Help Put Things Into Perspective Edition

Roman Polanski raped a child. Let's just start right there, because that's the detail that tends to get neglected when we start discussing whether it was fair for the bail-jumping director to be arrested at age 76, after 32 years in "exile" (which in this case means owning multiple homes in Europe, continuing to work as a director, marrying and fathering two children, even winning an Oscar, but never -- poor baby -- being able to return to the U.S.). Let's keep in mind that Roman Polanski gave a 13-year-old girl a Quaalude and champagne, then raped her, before we start discussing whether the victim looked older than her 13 years, or that she now says she'd rather not see him prosecuted because she can't stand the media attention. Before we discuss how awesome his movies are or what the now-deceased judge did wrong at his trial, let's take a moment to recall that according to the victim's grand jury testimony, Roman Polanski instructed her to get into a jacuzzi naked, refused to take her home when she begged to go, began kissing her even though she said no and asked him to stop; performed cunnilingus on her as she said no and asked him to stop; put his penis in her vagina as she said no and asked him to stop; asked if he could penetrate her anally, to which she replied, "No," then went ahead and did it anyway, until he had an orgasm.


Can we do that? Can we take a moment to think about all that, and about the fact that Polanski pled guilty to unlawful sex with a minor, before we start talking about what a victim he is? Because that would be great, and not nearly enough people seem to be doing it.

To Start The Week Off

It's Monday. The days are getting shorter and cooler. This is for those who need the pick me up to get their week started.

Bob McDonnell On Fox News Sunday

I missed this when it aired Sunday morning. Not a bad showing at all.

Hope You Enjoy This As Much As I Did

The most unusual cover to Fade To Black I have heard.


There's more Metallica goodness coverage here.

They Told Me That If I Voted For McCain And Palin That It Would Turn This Country Into A Cult And A Theocracy

And they were right.*

Whoever wrote that lifted a line straight out of 'Jesus Loves The Little Children'.

From the YouTube video:
He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight

From the children's Sunday school song:
Red and yellow and black or white,
They are all precious in his sight.



*IIRC, it was Professor InstaPundit who coined that phrase.

UPDATE: I take it back, Prof. Reynolds only put the current spin on the old joke. The original joke was coined way back in 1966:

They told me that if I voted for Goldwater, we'd have a war in Southeast Asia, civil and racial unrest, and a ruined economy. I went ahead and voted for him anyway, and it turned out they were absolutely right.

Thanks to Kevin for that last tidbit.

Bacon Is A Line In The Sand

This is how it starts. Some group did some study claiming something bad was going to happen. Releasing the results as a whisper blowing in the proverbial wind. The only problem is the whispers are attached to fancy sounding names like World Health Study or Global Diet Initiative and usually funded some way with the United Nations in some manner.

The latest case of the phenomena is this latest finding that even eating hot dogs once will increase a person’s chance of some sort of cancer.

It will be reported in the news once or twice. Soon, other studies from other universities – usually funded with tax money -- will show up parroting the same results. Then the studies will look at salami and bologna. Pepperoni will be examined under the hot lights. Then the other parts of the pig will be looked over as well.

Soon, Congress will hold meetings about the dangers of various cuts of meat. The irony of pending legislation to outlaw pork will be completely lost on them.

The day they come for bacon is a call to arms.

Friends, Pig Farmers, Countrymen. No fortune is too great to be sacrificed for the bellies of the porker. When the pig has done nothing but played in the mud and gorged itself so we can have one of the world’s most perfect food. How perfect is it? Why do the good restaurants serve breakfast all day long? Without bacon, that would be impossible. That is the power that bacon holds.

Many of the scientists are only looking out for your own good. They need a subtle reminder if the word ‘Bacon’ should be mentioned from their lips; they need to be one the lookout for their own good. When they threaten bacon they temp their fates by a meeting with Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether.

Even if you don’t care for bologna, it will affect you. It fulfills the old proverb, ‘First, they came for hot dogs, but I didn’t care for hot dogs so I did nothing. Then they came for pepperoni, but I’m not big on pizza so I did nothing. Then they came for bologna but I’m not a kid anymore so I did nothing. Then they came for bacon. . .’

Sure this may sound like a call for protection of bacon. And I’m not going to lie, it is. But it is also a call out for self determination as well. By justifying their cause with the mantra, “For your own good” takes away a little bit of your personal freedom. Either bacon or health care or whatever the next ‘crisis’ is. Individual freedom is eroded away bit by bit.

UPDATE: Linked by HotMES and Today's Featured Blog over at Pundit & Punette.

UPDATE II: The Classic Liberal has added this with their round up as well.

UPDATE III: The TrogloPundit links. If it was cheese and not hot dogs, I would be linking to him.

UPDATE IV: I've been linked by Ace of Spades, HQ. In terms of hits, that's hitting the lotto. Next to InstaPundit, of course.

Heh

Thanks Dad.
