Utterly disgusting. Nobody under voting age should have anything to do with the election process, period.

And as for politicians, it's telling they have to glue themselves to someone else's innocence to get third parties to even look at them...

Btw, tried to comment on the youtube video, but it didn't let me for some reason...

Well, the way the economy is going, they will need someone to believe in besides Santa Claus.

Seriously... that is disturbing. How are children that young having political opinions??

If you Look at my second post .. Its clear that through the years, Our common citizen has been dumbed down to forget what our founding fathers had set up for its' people.

It is up to >>US

^^ not sure what happend there

If you Look at my second post .. Its clear that through the years, Our common citizen has been dumbed down to forget what our founding fathers had set up for its' people.

It is up to >>US<<, the common man to take action against our bad excuse of a government. It is our right, and at most, Our duty.

It is time for change, and not the change proposed in this video!

I find it utterly frightening. It's the same thing we used to see in videos of children in North Korea and Iraq under Saddam. Little kids singing praises to their leader.



No thank you.

Its nothing new, I have many memories of how I was brainwashed (or attempted to be) by teachers.

No wonder home parenting is starting to be banned, its harder to brainwash children at home!

I want to thank you all for the support of this thread.

I want to point out that I was reluctant of posting on here in the first place. Ive been reading from here for about 2 weeks now. Its refreshing to see that there is still a ray of hope for this country.

By the way, for the past couple of nights when I try to log in, I get a message as follows: "Error: Your IP addess (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) is known for having an account on the ATS Forums."

Anyone else getting these .. I must say It was hard forme to goto sleep that night.

"Light, hope, courage and love shine through these nonvoting children who believe that their very best contribution to the Obama campaign is to sing."

Oh yeah sure

So I guess we're all supposed to go "AW SHUCKS!" at those little political activists who's main priority is to sing about an overblown politician.

Funny, at their age politics wasn't my list of things to do. Don't kids grow up so fast these days? *vomit*

My interpretation:

"(Insert 4 lovey/fuzzy verbs) appear to shine through these oblivious children who's teachers/parents believe that their most sycophantic contribution to the Obama campaign is to sing."

god forbid children form an interest in politics from an early age. Could you imagine the ramifications of such a cruel system, where everyone understands the political process and takes an active role in it?

Sounds like brainwashing communism to me!

That's right.

I'm sure these 5-12 year old kids decided on their own to get together, write and orchestrate several original songs, create professional shirts and backdrops, and preform a neighborhood "ode to Obama" all on their own simply out of an interest in politics....right?



Don't be so naive.

It's always creepy when kids who couldnt possibly have any clue what they're doing are used for political gain. From these kids singing praise to Obama to that "God Hates Fags" church with their kids holding signs and the parents with their kids protesting abortion while the kids are holding signs like "would you have killed me?" or "Roe v. Wade Survivor" or even Pelosi and her multiple child hug photo-ops.

It's great because it teaches the kids what to think but not necessarily why and for some reason stupid people think "aww.. the kid likes Obama I should like Obama too because kids are innocent and blah blah"

The fact that they continue to do it makes me think the numbers of duped adults or the value of potentially training a child is greater than the number of adults who find it repulsive and children who eventually rebel and embrace opposing politics.

In my opinion, children should be left out of the often corrupt and deceitful world of politics.

Exactly. Until they're old enough to form their own opinions. Before that, though, teach them the value of logic and independent thought, remembering that children model what they see.

Agreed.

But is it really that surprising?

Schools in American have become little more than liberal indoctrination clinics, especially at the college level.

I'm not far removed from this so I can still vouch for it. For that reason I'm not too terribly surprised by this.

But some of these kids were only 5 years old. You can't tell me they signed up for this because they truly believed in what Obama stands for.

It's frightening on a whole new level.
