Sigh

Sigh I'm not going to blog about this, but there's more Obama fanatics on video here. If you watch this and are not frightened, then you just don't know history. It's people like this, fanatics devoted to individuals, rather than ideas, who have caused the greatest disasters in history. It was people like this who supported Julius Casear in his usurpation of the Roman Republic. People like this brought Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Hideki Tojo power. Fanatics like this caused the Russian Revolution, brought Mao Tse Tung to power in China, and crowned Napoleon Bonaparte Emperor of France. Notice that none of these people brought anything but death and destitution to their people.

Now contrast that with fantatics who follow ideas and movements, rather than individuals. The American and French Revolutions come to mind. The protests at Tianamen Square in China, the Meiji Restoration in Japan. These movements all had leaders, but the leaders did not require songs be sung about them, and pledges made to them.

The fact that there are fools out there who make blind allegiances to individuals is sad, but such is the history of mankind. What is really sad is that the left in this country will view anyone, myself included, who brings this up as nothing more than someone grasping at straws with ways to criticize Barack Obama, probably a racist as well. This should be a non partisan issue. Barack Obama should stand up on national TV and tell the nation that singing songs about him and pledging allegiance to him is disgusting and un-American. I doubt I'll see that anytime soon though.

Well there I go, ranting. I'll tell you what I've been up to tomorrow.
