The left gushes over its leaders.

[kraychik]

{i]This[/i] is a beautiful example of how the left makes gods (and goddesses, in this instance) of its leadership. Look how Beyonce is about the faint simply thinking about the First Lady, who is now proud of her country for the first time in her life because it elected her husband as the President.

Remember, the left needs to believe that its leadership are of god-like status, otherwise they wouldn't be able to justify supporting increasing their scope of power. Only a god among men can be trusted with being a mastermind of our economies and societies, which is why the left is so much more vulnerable to this cult-of-personality phenomenon. It's funny at sad all at once. Edited July 17, 2012 by kraychik

Don't forget about the songs they had children singing about Obama too. It was about as creepy as it gets.

So many false assumptions in such a short post.

Why does Beyonce represent "the left" to you ? Is there anything to say that she is anything other than a citizen, albeit a celebrity ?

Why would the left 'need' to rationalize their need for extra power, given the way you've painted them as irrational anyway ?

What kind of increased scope of power are you talking about ? Something like the extra powers given to Homeland Security during Bush II's presidency ?

Ronald Reagan is another mental astronaut who is often painted as being larger and better than he was. Many of the right ignore his status as a deficit builder and failed actor in order to build him up as a master cold war strategist.

As for me, I think politicians are just politicians. Very few of them have the strong vision of a Stalin, a Trudeau or a Nixon....

Here is a hilarious video of Charlie Rose, a leftist Obama supporter, having a conversation with other leftists immediately after Obama's electoral success in November of 2008. Towards the end of the video they talk about Obama's "creepy cult of personality". Like I always say, the best thing we can do is simply get the left to talk openly and honestly about how they see things. They expose their own worship of the benevolent one known as Barack Hussein Obama. The smartest guy in the room, as it were.

Because everyone is "the left" of him. It's always a safe assumption that if you're sane and/or successful, you are "the left."

Oh yeah, that was completely dictator-like. They do that kinda thing in North Korea, and they did it in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. It's frightening. It's important to remember that the left is far more vulnerable to this social disease than the right, because they're just so much more comfortable with relinquishing their freedoms and responsibilities to the leviathan.

Here it is, the future generation of leftist drones singing the praises of the dear leader with the Obama campaign symbol in the background. It's sick. But hey, that's the left.

Here's a sample of North Korean children being indoctrinated with more cult of personality worship of their respective dear leader.

It's just a lot easier to gush over Michelle Obama than Ann Romney. Course if Mitt would just allow his other wives to be seen in public, there might be one with a personality among those. (See Mitt Romney, 'wifer controversy').

Maybe the same way the group FreedomWorks represented 'The Tea Party' to you regarding vouchers in Louisianna. If you tried to be a little more consistent in your posts, you'd come off less like a political hack. Just a friendly word of advice.

That is creepy, but that's a loss less of a glorification of Bush as a deity and much more of well wishing tempered with the principle of "One Nation Under God". When it comes to the left, and in this case with respect to Obama, it's one nation under the benevolent rule of the most greatest amazaingest smartest awesomest man ever!

I've explained in detail the ideological core of the left that leaves it far more vulnerable to a follow-the-leader type of mentality than the right, and this sort of activity is far more prevalent among the left. It does happen on the right, as well, but far less often.

Actually, kraychik, the school was celebrating black history month as well as Presidents Day, which was a couple of weeks after our first black president was inaugurated. At the same program, other classes sang songs about George Washington and Abe Lincoln. No outrage there?

Of course it is! The Left sucks! - That goes without saying! But thanks for saying it over and over ad nauseam all the same!

It hardly ever happens on the right! I think it only happened once! And I'm not sure it really happened even then!

What are you talking about? The girl is singing an Obama song, extending the praises of "changing" and "rearranging" America in the world in front of an Obama campaign poster in her home, the video then shows a bunch of kids wearing Obama campaign t-shirts with the signs, "hope", "imagine", and "change" in what appears to be a classroom adorned with Obama campaign imagery. They then devolve into a demented "Yes, we can!" acappella. There is a huge difference between the creepy video I posted and the one you posted. The kids in the Jesus camp weren't singing the praises of Bush and making him central to some chant for self-indoctrination for the purposes of advancing his campaign. This had absolutely nothing to do with President's Day or Black History Month and everything to do with the indoctrination of children into singing the praises of the dear leader. You're just blatantly lying as if we don't know any better.

Try actually watching the video before replying, next time. You'll fare better.

Well, I sourced Tea Party sites that supported the legislation.

Beyonce ? Is this really the same thing ?

Kraychik, thanks for making the distinction for me; these children were obviously children of parents who supported Obama and were actively getting out the vote. What is wrong with that? I have seen many young children at Tea Party rallies carrying signs supporting tea party positions and candidates. Shall I start with this......

You bethca there was a difference; Obama was not being prayed for by children asking for Jesus blessings in front of a huge life-size cutout.

This had absolutely to do with President's Day or Black History Month and to do with the indoctrination of children into singing the praises of the dear leader. You're just blatantly lying as if we don't know any better.

Kraychick, you seem to often confuse lying with miscommunication, a lie is a deliberate attempt to deceive but oftentimes thereis a communication problem as in this case. I was not lying; I assumed (wrong of me, I know) that you were speaking of the school in New Jersey that was in the public spotlight for their video of the 2nd grade class singing a song about Obama. That is the one that made all the headlines; I was not even aware of this get out the vote video.

You are right; I should have watched the video. I have several suggestions as to how you can fare better but they would fall on deaf ears.

If you really wanted to be honest, you'd show me a video of a bunch of kids singing the praises of Romney. Honouring the founding fathers is hardly cult-like, sick, or demented as we can all see in the video I posted on the first page of this thread.

It was creepy, but they were not singing the praises of Bush as these kids were singing the praises of Obama. It was creepy, no question, what we saw with the life-size cut-out, but it's still not at the same level of the kids singing the talking points of the Obama campaign. I imagine you lack the honesty to recognise this distinction.

There were and still are many videos of kids singing creepy Obama songs, this is hardly an isolated incident. It's a symptom of something deeper, which is the left's affinity for raising its leaders to god-like status. My point is simple, that this follow-the-leader mentality is far more endemic to the left than the right, due to core ideological underpinnings among leftists that express a contempt for what they perceive as the "everyman" and their desire for a messiah-character to direct them towards greatness. You need to believe in the "great leader" theory in order to be a leftist and be comfortable with the centralisation of control in the hands of the government, because only a god among men can possibly be so knowledgeable, intelligent, and benevolent to be able to outthink the wisdom of millions of freely-associating individuals making decisions in real-time. This worshipping that the left engages in is what allows them to believe in this fantasy of Mr. 57 states being so unbelievably smart. And it's why Beyonce is about to faint when she simply thinks of her goddess Michelle Obama.

You are right; I should have watched the video.

Yes, I am right.

Is that why "the right" had him assassinated?
