Shades of the Past

There is a Youtube video making the rounds right now. It is called "I Pledge". At the end, the voices unanimously agree to be "servants to the president". It can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqcPA1ysSbw. What gives me chills is how this video stirs echoes of the past, and not the sweet, mystic chords of memory, either.

Note this Nazi propaganda poster:

The writing translates to this:

My Fuhrer (Leader)!

(The Child Speaks)

I know you well and love you, like father and mother.
I shall always obey you, like father and mother.
And when I grow up I shall help you, like father and mother.
And you will be proud of me, like father and mother!

The video on Youtube shows how some in this country are giving a level of allegiance and outright love to a leader. That this is happening is scary and abhorrent. America, we must wake up to what is happening. Obama as the leader is scary enough. Imagine those who love Obama and are willing to serve him mobilizing en masse against those who do not support him. If you think that it won't or can't happen, just ask any of the survivors of Hitler's holocaust.

And Obama's supporters wonder conservative-minded parents don't want their children to watch Obama's message to the kinder, oops, children.
