Creepy how similar this is to it, eh? Brainwashed kids singing hymns for "Dear Leader".

Reminded me most of elementary school classes singing the national anthem. Anthems in general have a brainwashing aspect to them. I think virtually all anthems are creepy. Including this Obama one.

I hated the fucking pledge of allegiance.

I don't pledge allegiance to shit, let alone the the flag of the United States of America.

I also want to point out that I don't think Obama had anything to do with this. Apparently Jeff Zucker of NBC and some other Hollyweird types put this thing together.

Still, it's an odd thing to do considering the history of kids singing in praise of a political leader and not just the country that they live in.

[rocketeer]

is there a point to your videos 123?

there definitely is a difference in getting a bunch of kids to sing as if they support a candidate and kids just singing the national anthem or saying the pledge.

not that either is particularly meaningful, but it'd be nice if people were semi forcing their politics on kids or using them as if they somehow strengthen their cause.

Loyalty oaths and national anthems are forcing politics on kids. Many people are okay with it (all in the name of nationalism), but I really don't see an objective difference. It's all a form of trying to inculcate a belief in someone that isn't based on reason.

you don't think there is a difference in supporting the country as a whole(yes in the name of nationalism) and in supporting a specific candidate in an election?

There's a difference. One is a person, one is a nation. I don't think it changes the underlying principle of what is trying to be accomplished. All types of anthems (national anthems, anthems for a personality, religion anthems, etc) have different targets for adoration, but they are all trying to foster an unexamined belief.

It makes me want to vomit.

 

[Denny Crane]

It makes me vomit when a president says, "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

 

[bodyman5001]

What?

Almost all politicians make me sick now. People are scum.

 

[MARIS61]

It makes me vomit when a president says, "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

This is the selfish kind of thinking that caused the whole financial depression we are about to experience.

Well, at least you have to vomit only once every 50 years or so.

Do they have the "pledge of allegiance" in the UK? I'm confused.......kind of.

40oz, baby..........40oz.........RIP Nowell

No, and I certainly didn't tell British citizens how much I hated the traditions of their country.

I'm trying to figure out how having kids sing the anthem of the country which millions have died to maintain and preserve for them is the same thing as a buinch of kids singing the praises of a partisan political hack.

It's not. But a lot of people don't see Obama as a partisan politcal hack but a rag to riches story (American dream) who is about to be in a President and won't forget where he came from.

It reminds me a little of the Eva Peron situation . . . or at least what I know about the situation through the incredibly accurate documentory called "Evita". : )

eesh..that's creepy. But I also think kids singing religious songs before they can make a decision for themselves is creepy.

leave kids out of it.
