The media has informed us that Obama tailored the inauguration to mimic President-Elect Abraham Lincoln’s Republican ascension to the presidency. It is interesting to learn so much about Abraham Lincoln’s inauguration that I didn’t know.
Abraham Lincoln arrived in Washington D.C. on February 23, 1861 and virtually had to sneak into town disguised. Abraham Lincoln’s inauguration was March 4, 1861. Lincoln had a large group of bodyguards and a sizable garrison of federal troops was present.
With the swearing of his official vows, Lincoln became the 16th president of the United States. His speech was a very important one because he would be speaking not only as the new president but also as the leader of a nation in crisis. Lincoln was well prepared. He had sought lots of help to deliver the right message in his inaugural address.
While I do see parallels to Abraham Lincoln, I also see parallels to Adolf Hitler’s Triumph des Willens and his rise to power.
The people’s adulation of Hitler’s arrival in Nuremberg preceded Hitler’s declarations that the German people must remain strong for the task ahead and they must learn to suffer privation. I see similar declarations from Obama. Obama declares we need to replace our “Declaration of Independence”. Obama declares, “We seek a better world”.
Introductions to Hitler’s sixth Party Congress included reports of men employed in the construction of roads, bridges, buildings, and other infrastructure. Healthy farms and flourishing industrial growth become part of the promises.
National Socialist law will control the National Socialist state. Hitler will be the judicial master with assurances of safeguards for lives and civil rights. The basis of the National Socialist state will be order, freedom, and justice. All that remained was for the German people to await Hitler’s orders.
At the sixth 6th Party Congress closing Hitler expressed two principal views of the National Socialist Party. That it be a party with a world view and, without compromise, sole power in Germany. Hitler concluded that the people joined him because of these principles and therefore his leadership was justified. Hitler further declared that the National Socialist would be like a religious order. The aim of the National Socialist Party is that all Germans become National Socialist but only the best be Party members.
You have no reason for concern.
I am lying.
Obama sneaks in pretending to be an American citizen and a patriot.
Neither of which are true.
Who is behind this puppet remains to be seen but most of us are aware that it’s not someone with America’s interests at heart.
Which pill do you want to take?
Constant vigilance is more important now than at any other point in our history.
You may have no idea what the Obama/Biden/Pelosi/Reid lineup can do to this country. You have plenty to be worried about.
HORRIFIC TO THE MAX comes to mind . . .
And even as horrific to the max as he shows ever evidence of being . . . he’ll still be MILD compared to one that’s coming after him.
One he seems eagerly preparing the way for.
Lincoln’s election also sparked off a Civil War ... something which seems to have been forgotten in all of the pomp surrounding Obama’s ascension to POTUS
With that I can only hope he will be just another jimmy carter and not something much worse.
You have every reason to be concerned, we are facing an historical event on the 20th, our first marxist president will be sworn in.......why wouldn’t you be concerned.
You have no reason for concern, the A-hole ain’t sworn in YET.
relax, Bush is still in charge.
This will ALL END once the ONE is sworn in, and the Media will quit swooning. Prepare for GOOD NEWS from the adoring Media, to offset the 8 years of the Media reporting the sky is falling we’re losing the War BAD news. Hell, even Global warming News might Disappear.
It’s over, nothing but Roses and Whine from now on....the Media Whinning because BHO ain’t succeeding, nothing is working, we’re spending Money for nothing, and going nowhere fast.
You have no reason to be terrified as I am seeing this morning’s newspaper full of adulation and no a single word of doubt, reminding me of the Russian newspapers of the 1930s and 1940s and their complete adulation for Comrade Stalin. There is only one difference: they had to do it, we, that is our me3dia, do it voluntarily.
One of Hitler’s messages was “pride for Germany in the world”. It seems I remember Obama mentioning something about how America would be loved by the world again or some other such nonsense.
Well, I did see one press conference from a Palestinian leader who was “deeply disappointed in President Obama” for not making a strong statement...The one good laugh I’ve had since NOvember 4th. On the up side, living here in Phoenix is going to offset the Inaugural blather because OUR ARIZONA CARDINALS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!! WHOO HOO!
I don’t like it either, butt this too shall pass.
Besides, "the one" has told us everything we need to know about him: 1) He is a "citizen of the world" and; 2) he's come to "change the world." I believe him. I know he is of this world; that the whole world is under his control and; he has an agenda for the world.
