The Cult Of Personality - I Pledge Allegiance To Obama
Posted by Brian
"I Pledge Allegiance..."
The Drudge Report has two links today which should, to people paying attention, alarm the hell out of them.
The first one is a link to an Obama 2012 link which is selling an Obama flag in which the stars from the U.S. flag are replaced by the Obama logo. This follows the outrage a few months ago when it was discovered that a Democrat headquarters was flying an "Obama flag" outside it's building, the only difference being that the blue field was a picture of Obama instead of the logo. This is not tone deafness. This is straight out of Obama's "get in their faces!" comment from 2008.
The second piece is a story in the Washington Examiner in which several Hollywood stars are urging people to "pledge allegiance to Barack Obama" by taking "pictures of themselves with their hands on their hearts and a note explaining why they support President Obama"(Not unlike a video from 2009 where stars urged the same thing). The story reports that Obama staffers are also part of this Obama reelection ad campaign.
That these useful idiots (Jessica Alba, Scarlet Johansson, and Natalie Portman) are lending themselves to this campaign is not chilling, or even surprising. Hollywood elites are well-known for their liberal
causes. The chilling thing is that this comes from the official Obama
campaign. The chilling thing is that this man, Obama, is so arrogant, so power-hungry, that he would
not, cannot see the historical danger in people that would put their faith and trust into a single person as the answer to all of their and the nation's problems!
History is rife with the consequences of people and nations who buy into the cult of personality of a single person. Hitler. Franco. Mussolini. Mao, Stalin. Peron, Pol Pot. Castro. Mugabe. Amin. The list goes on and on. Millions murdered. Millions more thrust into poverty and despair. People afraid to speak out due to the loss of basic freedoms like free-speech, and freedom to worship a God of their own choosing. And yet, we have these vacuous starlets encouraging people to "pledge allegiance" to an individual, when we have reams of history which tell us how dangerous this is.
The incident this past week of a filmmaker dragged out of his house at 1:00AM, because he allegedly "insulted" Islamists halfway around the world with a third-rate, poorly-produced video, should outrage everyone. Yet, the so-called "defenders of freedom", the media, are not outraged. In fact, many supported the arrest and questioning of this filmmaker. At least the ones who weren't completely silent on the whole thing.
We have, in President Obama, a man who would have you believe that he has all the answers. That he is the sole arbiter of of the issues that face this country. Many will say, "but he has to go through Congress", or that "the Supreme Court will keep him from doing anything unconstitutional". Really. Obama's Presidency is already littered with numerous examples of him unilaterally bypassing Congress with Executive Order after Executive Order. His EPA is handing down regulations on a nearly daily basis which is destroying the energy industry in the country. He has ignored the orders of a Federal judge not once, but twice(!), in regards to oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
As for the Supreme Court: Who can count on them after Chief Justice John Roberts handed down one of the worst, if not the worst, decision in Supreme Court history, with the ruling on ObamaCare. A case in which the government lied through their teeth to the nine justices. A case in which one of the justices, Elena Kagan, was directly involved in the crafting of ObamaCare while in the Obama Administration, and didn't even consider recusing herself from the case. A case in which one of the justices repeatedly corrected the attorney for the Obama Administration, who kept calling the penalty a tax, by calling it a fee. This, after Obama repeatedly told the American people that it was not a tax. Yet, his attorney kept calling it a tax. Finally, Justice Roberts sided with the four leftist justices to find that ObamaCare was Constitutional because he said it was a tax. So, for the first time in our nation's history, the people of the United States are being compelled to buy a service, whether they want it or not. Do you still have faith in the ability of a Supreme Court holding Barack Obama in check if he is elected to a second term?
Keep in mind, that whoever is the next President is going to be nominating two, if not three, new Supreme Court Justices. If the next President is Barack Obama, his Supreme Court picks would pitch the court so far to the left that it would take decades to correct. The damage that would be done to our country would be immeasurable. Our nation would be changed as to be unrecognizable, not only to the Founders, but even to us.
Ronald Reagan once said:
Our country is at a crossroads. We are on the precipice of falling into despotism. We are currently a post-constitutional society, with an out-of control government, governed by an elitist political class who are more concerned with maintaining their power than governing according to the ideals that this country was founded upon. The Constitution is an annoyance to them. An obstacle to chasing the utopian fantasies common to all other dictators and despots that have tried, and failed, before them to engineer the "perfect" society.
It is not too late to turn the Great Ship around, though we fight an uphill battle against an administration, the media, and a legion of sycophants willing to "pledge" themselves to a man who despises the values and ideals that this country was founded on, and which has allowed it to be the "the last best hope of for a mankind plagued by tyranny and deprivation".
Election day is less than two months away. Let us not be that generation who has to explain to our children and grandchildren of what a great country the United States used to be.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

Voters: Good News Is We Got Change. Bad News Is It's Worse
Posted by Brian
Common sense should tell us that things like "change" don't exist in a vacuum. Unfortunately for a lot of young people who voted for the first time in 2008, critical thinking skills are not exactly taught in our public schools and bastions of higher education any longer. "Change" has positive connotations, therefore it must be a good thing. Three and a half years later, voters agree that change has happened, but it was for the worse. Critical thinking would have told them that the scale tilts both directions.
The Hill Poll: Majority of voters believe Obama has changed country for worse
By Sheldon Alberts - 07/09/12 05:00 AM ET
Two-thirds of likely voters say President Obama has kept his 2008 campaign promise to change America — but it’s changed for the worse, according to a sizable majority.
A new poll for The Hill found 56 percent of likely voters believe Obama’s first term has transformed the nation in a negative way, compared to 35 percent who believe the country has changed for the better under his leadership.

Critics Call 4th Of July Obama Parody Float Racist
Posted by Brian
A parade float in Huntsville, Utah, which depicted President Obama, and had statements regarding Eric Holder and the "Fast and Furious" scandal, has people shouting "racist".

Apparently, any criticism of Barack Obama is automatically deemed racist. SNL has pulled skits which make fun of Obama, and have also been accused of racism for another skit. Oppose Obama's economic policy? Racist. Oppose his immigration policy? Racist. The racism charge is so pervasive about any opposition or even perceived slight towards Obama, that Reason magazine published an article with an entire timeline featuring liberal claims of the racism towards Obama.
The knee-jerk claims of racism are not simply annoying and overused (which they are), the deeper thing about this whole phenomenon is that it is a concerted effort to ostracize those who criticize Obama, and to warn those who are thinking of criticizing him. It is to chill free speech, not through government mandate, but through making people afraid to speak their minds, for fear of being ridiculed, or dressed down.
Barack Obama's supporters, and his sycophants in the media, have created, and are continuing to foster, a "cult of personality" around Obama. Substance doesn't matter. It's his aura and "star-power" that we must admire. That we must blindly love and follow. Criticism will not be tolerated.
Lenin, Pol Pot, and Hitler all had those qualities too.

Video: H/T to The Blaze
HUNTSVILLE, Utah — A parade entry portraying President Barack Obama and using the term “Obamanation” has made some angry, and others upset at the negative attention.
It happened in the city’s annual Fourth of July parade.
The float showed a person dressed as President Obama with one sign that read “Huntsville Welcomes Obama’s Farewell Tour?” On the back, another sign said, “Ask about our assault gun plan. Call Eric Holder.”

Mark Levin: Chris Christie, Barack Obama, and the Cult Of Personality
A classic Mark Levin segment. Love or hate him, he ask questions which many hosts don't, or won't. He breaks down many of the actual issues which Chris Christie has less than stellar conservative credentials on - Global Warming, the 2nd Amendment, Obamacare, collective bargaining for public sector unions, et.al. Christie has gotten great mileage out of his You Tube confrontations with unions. Though entertaining, and with more than a few "hell yeah" moments, they only give a glimpse of where Christie stands on public policy issues
In addition to the Governor Christie segment, his passion in exposing the Presidency of Barack Obama, is both entertaining and inspiring.
Enjoy. This is Levin at his best.
Mark Levin cross examines Chris Christie and so far has no good answers to his questions. Mark comments on John Kornin (R) Texas. Then Mark comments on "La Raza" the left wing front group which is being financed with public funds. "Can somebody tell me what the Obama's are doing less with?" Mark comments on Michelle Obama's $1000 "tote" bag and Obama's parties, golf games and basket ball time and what a mess they are making of the country. 3/11/2011
