Brushfire of Freedom
The Irritable Pundit
Can someone please explain to me what business it is of Obama's? Seriously, where was all this during the election? And when was this ever the business of a President?
Those questions can apply to just about anything he has touched. Lets look at a few:
1) Nationalization of private businesses.
2) The forced take over of financial institutions.
2) Healthcare, and whether you "get to keep your doctor" or not.
3) Cap & trade (global warming taxation)
4) No summer breaks for schoolchildren and the school day lasting till dinnertime.
Wait, what was that last one? You think I'm kidding? Nope... dead serious.

Why is this his issue? When did the President get control of local school boards? And what the heck for? Maybe he wants more time for singing the latest "Song for Obama"! Like these children in a New Jersey school (and yes, some of the lines are bastardized versions of "Jesus loves the little children").

Here are the lyrics if the video is too creepy:
Barack Hussein Obama
He said that all must lend a hand
To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
Yes!
Mmm, mmm, mm
Barack Hussein Obama
Or maybe he still likes the original creepy election song?

Lyrics:
WE’RE GONNA CHANGE THE WORLD
We’re gonna spread happiness
We’re gonna spread freedom
Obama’s gonna change it
Obama’s gonna lead ‘em
We’re gonna change it
And rearrange it
We’re gonna change the world.
The problem is, these sorts of "dear leader" songs have long been used in socialist countries past and present, lets look at a few, shall we?

Lyrics:
We pioneers are young Leninists.
Our dream is to live like Lenin.
I have no thought except I love Lenin.
Lenin is our super man.
We are his little potatoes.
Lenin is our sun, our leader, our life.
Without him our minds are empty.
And more recently, there is this little gem:

SONG OF GENERAL KIM JONG IL
Mt. Paektu reaches across
To shape our beautiful land.
Cheers resound all over the land,
Hailing our dear General.
He's the leader of the people,
Carrying forward the Sun's cause.
Long live, long live, General Kim Jong Il.
All blossoms on this earth
Tell of his love, broad and warm.
Blue East and West Seas sing
His exploits in their song.
He is the artist of great joy,
Glorifying the garden of Juche.
Long live, long live, General Kim Jong Il.
Socialist cause he defends
With iron will and courage.
He raises national honour
Far and wide throughout the world.
He is the champion of justice,
Standing for independence.
Long live, long live, General Kim Jong Il.
They all sound creepily similar don't they? The bottom line is that control of children, and the veneration of "dear leader" has long been a goal of leftists. Take this quote for instance.
"We must turn children, who can be shaped like wax, into real, good Communists.... We must remove the children from the crude influence of their families. We must take them over and, to speak frankly, nationalize them. From the first days of their lives they will be under the healthy influence of Communist children's nurseries and schools. There they will grow up to be real Communists."
-- Communist Party Education Workers Congress, 1918
For the record, here are two of my favorite video compilation/mashups of Obama's songs. Both worth watching, as they puts Obama's songs against that great socialist party that perfected "dear leader" songs, the "National Socialist German Workers' Party.

What's the matter? You didn't know that the Nationalsozialistische deutsche Arbeiter-Partei (Nazis) were a bunch of leftist creeps who turned an entire nation upside down by first going after their children and schools, giving them songs to sing about "dear leader", building a "Youth Volunteer Movement", and eventually having them turn in their parents for crimes against the state? Hmmm... wonder why that's never mentioned or taught in schools?
