Now, children, let’s all sing together in honor of our great President:
Mmm, mmm, mm!
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
I am sure you noticed the fourth stanza, which borrows lyrics from the well-known Christian song “Jesus Loves the Little Children,” except, of course, for replacing the name of Jesus with Obama’s name. Now isn’t that sweet.
Now let’s sing another song honoring our President:
Hello, Mr. President, we honor you today!
For all your great accomplishments, we all doth say “hooray!”
Hooray, Mr. President, we honor your great plans
To make this country’s economy number one again!
So continue, Mr. President, we know you’ll do the trick
So here’s a hearty hip-hooray ---
Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!
The following lyrics are contained in still another children’s song about our President: “The ground has shifted. The world has changed. Oooo, I’m a proud American. Oooo, yes yes yes yes YES WE CAN!”
All of these songs were taught to and sung by children in public schools. These songs represent pure and simple indoctrination. They are appalling. They represent a sickness spreading throughout portions of our population that is downright scary. Now you know what it was like to be a school child in Germany during the age of Adolph Hitler, in China during the age of Mao Tse-tung, in Russia during the age of Joseph Stalin, or in North Korea during the current age of Kim Jong-il.
Some of the songs were taught to children at an elementary school in New Jersey. Almost as alarming as the songs themselves, the principal of the school and the teacher who taught the songs cannot understand what is wrong with them. After a videotape of the songs was posted on YouTube, the principal was unapologetic and said she would allow the songs to be sung again. The same school reportedly had pictures of President Obama and posters containing his campaign slogans hanging in the hallways and classrooms. In my opinion, if the principal and the teacher cannot see anything wrong with their obvious attempts to indoctrinate their students, then they don’t have the basic intelligence necessary for their jobs.
Another school official has decided the best defense is a good offense. This official said the children’s performance of the songs was videotaped and posted on the internet without authorization. In other words, this official wants to divert attention from the school’s obvious efforts to indoctrinate its students by making accusations against the person who exposed the indoctrination. This is the same tactic currently being used by Acorn. After several of its employees were caught on tape encouraging illegal activity, Acorn decided to take the offensive by bringing charges against the individuals who made the incriminating tapes.
We are living in a dangerous time. I do not believe President Obama wrote the children’s songs praising him or ordered that they be written, but there is no doubt in my mind he has a Messianic complex. All you have to do is listen to his speeches, where he repeatedly admonishes the world, including his own country, for past sins and presents himself as the redeemer and savior for mankind. I believe Obama truly thinks he is God’s gift to mankind. He has many loyal followers who share his belief. Obama is like the leader of a cult whose followers are blinded by their loyalty and devotion to him.
One columnist, Ron Hart, wrote that he recently watched television on Sunday morning for the first time in years. He observed, “Just as I remembered, it was full of worship services. The elite media worshipped their Lord and Savior, Barack Obama, on CBS’s ‘Face the Nation,’ ABC’s ‘This Week’ and NBC’s ‘Meet the Press.’ They even had a Spanish service on Univision.”
There are different kinds of indoctrination. When I was in elementary school and high school, I was taught to believe in God and to believe that my country was great. I pledged allegiance to the flag of the United States of America on a frequent, if not daily, basis. Along with my classmates, I joined in singing “America the Beautiful” and “God Bless America” along with other patriotic songs, many of which are now banned from public schools because they use the word “God” or are politically incorrect. I was taught that God is great and that our country is great, but I was never taught to worship or believe in any single political leader or other individual or in any single religion.
I am not opposed to indoctrination. It all depends on who is doing the indoctrination and the message behind the indoctrination. I believe in indoctrinating my own children and grandchildren. I want them to believe in God and country, as I do. I want them to share my values and the values that have made this country great. I want them to love the sports I love and to support the teams I support. I even try to persuade my adult children—but not my minor grandchildren—to adopt my political philosophies and to support the same political candidates I support.
There is a big difference, however, between my indoctrination of my own children and grandchildren and a teacher’s indoctrination of his or her students, especially when the teacher is expressing his or her own views about the greatness of a specific individual rather than the greatness of our country and our system of government. A teacher, especially a teacher in a public school, is acting on behalf of the state, i.e., the government. A teacher does not have the right to—and should not be allowed to—indoctrinate students based on his or her political beliefs. A parent, on the other hand, has every right—and even an obligation—to share his or her values and beliefs with children and grandchildren.
Where do you stand? Are you as appalled as I am when you observe school children being taught to worship the person who currently serves as President of the United States? Or have you joined the cult and become a believer in our new savior and redeemer?
