The Cult Of Personality: How It Begins And How It May End
Transsylvania Phoenix ^ | 9/24/09 | .454

A video posted on YouTube appears to show a New Jersey elementary school class being taught to sing praises of the "great accomplishments" of President Obama. Just like Obama, Romania's dictator Ceausescu started as an extremely popular leader. He promised change from the Stalinist type of communism imposed by the Soviets and people put all their hope in him to liberalize and open the country towards the Western world. Just with Obama, the media quickly become Ceausescu's personal lap dog, always praising him and his wife, never criticizing them. Just like with Obama, his cult of personality grew and grew to monstrous proportions. We kids were taught poems and songs about how brave and patriotic and wise our leader is and how luck we are he is watching over us. I remember myself singing those songs in school like it was yesterday and seeing the same thing happening in America both scares and angers me.

Free Koolaid for all stupid enough to drink it.

Then we'll finally put a conservative back in the White House.

Usually ends with thousands of innocents dead (check, abortion) and a bloody revolt (likely) and the leaders dead and desecrated while a citizenry is permanently scarred. We could have learned from the mistakes of others, but we seem determined to punish ourselves.

What makes this so unique is that if Zero is also overthrown in a bloody revolution, we face a substantial amount of fellow citizens participating in the bloodbath to defend him.

“They’re drinking the juice.” Guess who was quoted saying those exact words backstage after a big speech?

I don’t believe anyone who would rush to his defense would be worth crying over.

No. I just can’t believe that people don’t realize that they are nothing but puppets for Zero’s ambitions.

No good will come of any of this, save the restoration of the constitutional Repubic our Founders fought for. We will pay a terrible price for that. The only thing worse is the alternative: the concentration camp culture of the Machiavellian Marxists who have now gotten the upper hand.

I’d rather go down fighting or struggle with my conscience over the deeds I will have to do to defeat these monsters than to surrender to slavery.

It’s just as simple as that.

Evil is alive and well in the world today. The problem is that too many of us have made their peace with it.

Ceausescu and his evil wife ended up lined up against wall and then riddled by AK-47’s of his Army which rebelled against him. It is said that he weeped like a baby pleading for his life and defecated in his pants. Can this happen in the USA? Anything is possible.

It’s the enablers who are the guiltiest. I’m scapegoating, but too many Americans have been so stupid in encouraging these feelings of hate and entitlement.

Thanks for posting this. I remember it from when I was a college freshman, but of course never thought about tyranny in the US.

I don't believe Zero's ambitions are to be a tyrant per se, but his actions could well lead to such governance here in America. It's a slippery slope, and I'm not sure we can claw our way back without going through the bondage - bloody revolution stage.

I fully believe that Obama will defecate in his pants, although I doubt that he’ll be lined up against any walls for anything more violent than spitballs.

Obama will “sit taller” just as soon as a judge orders some or all of his hidden records revealed, IMO.

What a shame that the American political system has failed to investigate this idjit.

“I fully believe that Obama will defecate in his pants.”

He will when representatives of the US military point the gun to his head and assure him that his brains or his signature will go on the resignation form.

“I don’t believe Zero’s ambitions are to be a tyrant per se, but his actions could well lead to such governance here in America”

He may not want to be a tyrant but he wants to be completely unquestioned and unchallenged in his views, actions, and policies.

I put this up at Rush thread during a break. Some interesting insight into the making of our pResident and his psychological makeup.

“In light of the Pseudo Messiah’s speech at the UN yesterday, some oldies but goodies to re read:

Yes, exactly. There's a special place in hell for such as that. I say as much on the front page of my business website. www.starlancs.com. As Rand has said, those who want slavery should have the grace and honesty to call it by its proper name. Step and name the thing you're asking for.

“...the similarities between Obama and Ceausescu...”

.
Did any of you watch the scene as how Ceausescu and wife ended their lives? It was televised in the part of the world where I worked at that time. They asked for volunteers for members of the firing squad and almost all raised their hands.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_of_personality

A cult of personality arises when a country’s leader uses mass media to create an idealized and heroic public image, often through unquestioning flattery and praise.[1] Cults of personality are often found in dictatorships and Stalinist governments.
