Parents Propagandizing Their Children–Updated
September 30, 2008 / 12:28 pm • By Dr. Melissa ClouthierSomebody taught their kid this. They wrote the lyrics, played the music, practiced and then performed this.
Barack Obama is just a man. Evidently, way too many people have a life absent of a real God.
Update:
Instapundit says: “Daddy says if we sing well enough, we might get an extra flour ration!”
More Dear Leader love from Rovian Conspiracy (more links, too):
Michelle Malkin says,”Who’s behind this? Hollyweird libs and MSM moguls, of course.”
Confederate Yankee has more about the weird and elites:
While described as a grassroots effort, Kathy Sawada, who posted the video and can been seen directing the children in the video, is a bit more than just an enthusiastic music teacher you might find in your average public school.
Sawada is a teacher at an elite and expensive Colburn School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles as part of the Piano faculty. Colburn just built a $120 million 12-story high-rise addition for their musicians.
Does a concert-quality musician in an elite school in the middle of the most ego-centric city in the United States count as a “grassroots” effort?
Here’s a partial list of those who helped produce this “grassroots” effort:
Jeff Zucker — American television executive, and President & CEO of NBC Universal.
Post-producer (former choreographer?) Holly Shiffer.
Motion picture camera operator/steadicam specialist Peter Rosenfeld (appropriately enough, worked in “Yes Man,” a movie about ” a guy challenges himself to say ‘yes’ to everything for an entire year.”
Darin Moran, another motion picture industry professional, who just finished filming — how appropriate — Land of the Lost.
Andy Blumenthal, Hollywood film editor.
Hmmmm…..NBC denies involvement. Of course they do.
Rachel Lucas, as usual, captures my queasiness, thusly:
That song reminds me of one thing and one thing only, and it ain’t hope or change. It’s church. Which I suppose is the exact idea because for today’s progressive leftist, there is no “church” anymore; there’s just Obama. He fulfills all the needs that they so derisively snark at religious people for when the religious get the same needs fulfilled by a deity.
Neither of which technique I can get behind myself, but it sure is fascinating to watch these people training their kids to worship a man while at the same time, odds are, they mock Christians for their blind faith and bible-clingin’. I guess the progressives think they’re evolved and enlightened because their clingin’ is all about a politician instead of an ancient deity, real or not.
Hebrews 11:1 defines faith: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
The problem with having faith in Obama is that his substance is suspect and his evidence isn’t good either–what evidence you can find. I guess that’s why liberals keep obscuring the evidence–as long as people don’t see it, they can deify him and have faith. Once he’s know, the religion is lost.

“When an opponent declares, “I will not come over to your side,” I calmly say, “Your child belongs to us already… What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.”
– Adolf Hitler
Still think that Obama is not a fascist?

I might expect this type of propaganda in communist China or North Korea but am surprised that anyone would volunteer their kids to participate in this Obama worship abomination.

This video-link also showed up on at least one LiveJournal, titled “Children Sing to Dear Leader”.
Welcome to the school flag salute after January of 2009.

I’m not.
Ever heard of the term “True Believers”?
I’ll say one thing: Obama (or his handlers) really understand the dynamics of “Messiah Politics” a LOT better than Ross Perot.

Wow,
This is just so disturbing on so many levels. I agree with the other posters. I would expect to find this in North Korea or Nazi Germany. I guess the Obamajugend is in full swing…

Paul Gordon: That article was just as eye opening as Jonah Goldberg’s book “Liberal Fascism”. Thanks for posting it.

Every time I see something like this I’m reminded of the scene in “Cabaret” in which the Hitler Youth stand up and sing, “Tomorrow Belongs to Me.”

It’s up on YouTube again.
It’s hard to keep something this juicy off YouTube for long — somebody will always be uploading a copy.
Question is, it it Official Party Line or just some well-heeled Obama fanboys doing what fanboys do? Except with a camera and enough $$$ to get some good production values? Or split the difference and assume “plausible deniability” no matter what the source? (i.e. “If it works, we’ll claim it as ours; if it bombs, we never heard of it.”)
