The Children Praise Der Obama with Song
Mar 16th, 2009 | By Linda Brady Traynham | Category: Featured, Morning Whiskey, Politics
What is sweeter to parents than the sound of their children singing? Perhaps the sight of a happy, excited child engaging in activities with his or her little chums…or seeing a children’s choir dressed in pristine matching tee shirts, a simple start on uniforms…
I saw such a sight tonight. The children were enthusiastic, exalted by the joyous music, signing vigorously as their teacher bounced around like Nancy Pelosi behind Obama during his recent speech…and that is precisely where the ugliness enters into this otherwise pretty picture, for the songs were all in praise of the Leader, the Obama who will change us, the Obama who brings hope.
"We can do it, can do it, can do it, can do it!" they half chanted, half sang, in rising crescendo. "We’re going to change the world," a starry-eyed moppet crooned plaintively in a minor key. The backdrop was Obama’s signature Rising Sun emblem, and you may view the performance here .
There was a time children sang praises to the leader. They did so in German. They sang that Der Fuehrer would lead them to hope, change, renewed prosperity, and a greater role in world affairs. Der Fuehrer would punish the wicked bankers and the evil Jews. Der Fuehrer would restore the ubermenschen to their proper place…and so he did, for a time, at a cost we all know well. "Zu befehls!" and "Heil Hitler!" were on all lips that did not wish a gun butt smashed across them. Unsere Feuhrer has already said that he wants a Youth Corps. Will they be dressed in brown shirts or stay in white ones emblazoned "HOPE" and "CHANGE" in U.N. blue?
"And a little child shall lead them"…joined by multitudes of little children and not so little children. Will they be taught to inform on their parents? Taught to sneer at those with different beliefs? Taught to detest, revile, and strike out at those who utter forbidden words or question the wisdom of their leader? They were last time.
For years the left wing has taught our children to despise "old, dead white men" and to accept all behavior that flies in the face of what their parents taught–when they were taught any sort of ethics or principles at home. The government increases its access to our young during their formative years constantly; home schooling is under attack despite the preponderance of the top SAT scores coming from home-schooled kids. Jocelyn Elders hoped to teach kindergarteners to masturbate; schools now encourage youth to experiment with different sexual orientations before deciding whether they are gay, straight, or ambi. New terms have crept into the lexicon, "homophobic," and "hate speech." "Merry Christmas" is considered an offense against man, for there is no God, such say, no right or wrong, nothing to be learned from the past.
"Change for the sake of change" is set above customs that have guided the affairs of men right for centuries. There are no lessons the past can teach us, they say, for all except they have sinned and fallen short of the glory of…no, there was no glory, only wickedness, prejudice, oppression, selfishness, and callous disregard for our fellow citizens and the sacred planet which we are purported to be destroying. "Diversity," not e pluribus unum.
These are not the beliefs we want our children inculcated with. We teach the basic rules for success: learn to read well, get the best education you can whether that be college or a trade, get married and stay married, save for the future, and become happy, successful, competent, well-mannered adults who can think for themselves, read Whiskey & Gunpowder, and buy gold…and teach our grandchildren the same splendid lessons we taught them. Much of the fault is ours, for we think "political correctness" is funny. We were so astounded by bizarre laws and court decisions that we kept shaking our heads, thinking such things could not be, far less continue.
We were wrong.
"I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness," Ginsberg wrote in an entirely different context. We saw the best tenets of the past ripped asunder in the quest for bigger and more powerful government, tearing down all that had made America great.
We must rectify our mistakes lest James Howard Kunstler’s vision becomes reality. Stock metal, commodities, and fuel because you may need them soon.
Just in case, don’t tell the children where you have hidden them.

I watched the video and yeah it was pretty frightening. I think the fear is not that someone wants to change the world but that it will not be the world we want to live. The underlying ideology being offensive to our unmoving sense of morality. We all want to change the world like it’s a virtue. I thought God created the world with a plan in mind for all things? Why do we continue to think that we can improve on that plan? Do we think God is less than perfect and somehow made some mistakes?
I found that video to be actually quite chilling. It immediately reminded me of an old nazi propaganda clip I saw many years ago. Whether it was in school, college, or just on the t.v. I don’t remember. It was of a young blonde German boy about the same age as the “moppet”. He was properly dressed in a Hitler Youth uniform, singing just as angelically. With a nazi swatstika flag in the background……………………
Dear John:
What horrified me was indoctrinating the children and the spread of the CULT of Obama. The looks of mindless exultation when they even think of The One bode ill. They are having a “religious” experience, not a political one. To put it in your context, we’re looking at idolatry, at self-blinded puppets.
I can’t see any “charisma” about Mr. Obama, myself, but you can see the real thing on the History Channel frequently. Have you ever listened to Herr Hitler speak? It doesn’t matter that you cannot understand what he is saying, it is easy to get caught up in an Eric Hoffer Experience. Read his “The True Believer,” if you have not. I read it first in 1959, and have found it true ever since. People WANT to believe. They YEARN to be part of something bigger than themselves. They love pagentry, ceremonies, medals, uniforms, war banners streaming, the grandeur that was Rome.
Smile…
God does have a plan, as it happens, for after Armageddon. He intends for the survivors to spend a thousand years leading happy agrarian lives! I got started early, lucky me, and if you have read much of what I have written you know that nothing money could buy could make me any happier than I am already, with the possible exception of two million hectares in Argentina just to get us away from large populations and intrusive governments.
I have a wonderful man I love deeply who adores me, a shabby old house in the country we are having fun renovating ourselves, two terrific hands, our beautiful, funny livestock, and big old dogs are flopped at my feet. I have my friends here at Whisky & Gunpowder, and e- friends all over the country. I have useful work, analyzing and writing, that I do in the comfort of our home for pleasure, not pelf. We have good health at 68 and 71. We lead lives of joy and satisfaction, because it isn’t “work” if you want to do it and have someone you love to help you. We turn the TV on for the weather report, read voraciously, and love to cook together. We stay in our own, private oasis most of the time because the outside world has little to offer.
What else IS there to want? What else could God provide for any of us other than His love, and He gave that to us long ago. Part of serenity is trusting the Lord to take care of things when He is ready. Of course I am a Christian, crew! I never said so before because nobody asked and I figured it showed!
