Good post.I had just left a comment in another post that reminded me of this.
www.abovetopsecret.com... think that the pledge of allegiance goes with this drivel to create mindless automatons for the state.Our allegiance belongs to the constitution,not the state.And that allegiance should come from understanding the concepts of the document itself,not the rote repetition of a jingoistic pledge.This stuff is dangerous,especially when put into the context of a "Citizens Corp" that could be started if we went into a depression.That is all we need,is some out of work thuggish young Americans of all persuasions being given positions of power over older citizens.This stuff is sick.I am all for people having aspirations,but not if they are to be realized in this manner.

Well stated, I only wish now that I had given it a flashier title - I believe everyone needs to see this.

I'm not sure how you characterized your thread, but I don't see this one as really about the candidates, but more so about the electorate.

Of course, the MODs may hold a different view.

I did read the other warning thread before posting and felt that I have better use a differerent tact on this one.
So, basically wanting to show that Obamunism is spreading - maybe even with the best of intentions, or cuteness as it pertained to those original children.
But then we can see the next level in this video.
And now I fear the next level after this one.
Is there a conspiracy - is this blatant brainwashing and being planned by some entity ?

I don't think so- at least, not in the sense you think.

I believe stuff like this happens because it's an indication of the degree to which people are prepared to become 'followers' of political or religious leaders.

History of filled with examples.

And as I mentioned previously, unchecked adoration of political leaders is a recipe for disaster. Why that is not taught more often is beyond me.
