eisely 13 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 If you haven't seen the really creepy video of the kindergarteners in New Jersey singing songs in praise of President Obama, check out the link below. You can watch the video of the American kids and then watch North Korean kids sing the praises of their Dear Leader. Nobody is saying that Obama himself, or anybody in Washington for that matter, had anything to do with this. But the mind set of some people running the public schools is often quite scary. Apparently this incident actually happened in June. I understand that the educational authorities in the State of New Jersey are now looking into this. http://pajamasmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2009/09/24/comparative-videos-new-jerseynorth-korea/ Link to post Share on other sites
OldGreyEagle 5 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 We could find creepy video's of similar age children singing the praises of GW as well. (maybe) Just because something absurd happens doesn't mean its anything but absurd and solitary. When thousands of children march with torches into stadiums adorned with 30 foot high banners of Pres. Obama, then we worry Link to post Share on other sites
eisely 13 Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 OGE, Why wait? Worry now. Give it a few more years and we'll likely get there. I've got ten dollars for anybody who can come up with a video of school kids singing the praises of GW Bush (not George Washington). Link to post Share on other sites
OldGreyEagle 5 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 C'mon, remember back a few years there was a poster who said he was jeopardizing his memebrship in the BSA because he wouldn't pledge allegience to GW? He wouldn't pray to GW just because the rest of his troop did? Link to post Share on other sites
eisely 13 Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 Actually I don't remember. There was a period of a few years when I stopped visiting the forum altogether. Praying TO any living person really is creepy, president or not. For that matter, unless the vatican declares any particular president a saint (how likely is that?), praying TO any president, alive or dead is creepy. I don't think that is quite what Baden Powell had in mind in saying scouts should be reverent. It would not surprise me if people have occasionally prayed FOR a president. It seems to me I recall political leaders being added to the list of people for whom the congregants prayed in catholic masses from time to time. Again, we were praying for divine help in making such recipients of the divine help more just and wise. But I digress....the ten dollar offer still stands. Link to post Share on other sites
FScouter 24 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Oh for heaven's sake!! I'm stunned anyone would pay more than 2 seconds attention to a silly song like that. A comparison to North Korea is really absurd. "Authorities" looking into it? Haven't we got more important things to worry about? Though they could perhaps found a more interesting theme for a dancing and singing lesson. Link to post Share on other sites
skeptic 993 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Paranoia reigns!!!!! Of course someone has proof that Mr. Obama had this done as part of his "plan". What is the matter with some people? Link to post Share on other sites
gwd-scouter 11 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Of course it's part of the President's plan. A national youth corps. A woman I saw on C-SPAN during the big DC protest rally (Tea Party Express, I think) said so. Link to post Share on other sites
skeptic 993 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Speaking of crazy people; did anyone else catch Rush on Leno last night? Can't decide if he or Beck has crazier eyes when they start thrashing around with their hands while they spout their vitriol and absurdities. Link to post Share on other sites
eghiglie 10 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I've encouraged my son to learn to pray for our elected officals as they are human and doing the best they can. Even though we didn't vote for many of them we still pray FOR them to guide our nation as best they can. As our nation is a republic the 'winner' needs support, regardless of our views. Hopefully the praise organizer in NJ will be educated about the choice that was made. God Bless America! Link to post Share on other sites
John-in-KC 311 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Someplace else in the inter-verse I encountered a sterling fellow. He claimed the Democrats were being held back from passing health care because they were afraid of their right wing money donors. That was the sanest of his claims. Link to post Share on other sites
