Rus: Yeah, me, too. Except, shouldn’t they be singing in the original German?[/quote]
I don’t like any of this ritualistic stuff in any language. Not so up on the hitler youth but, I am pretty sure it was worse than this. I mean we still have checks and balances right? I think this demonstration of excessive emulation is creepy but probably not worthy of much fear. I agreed with Partypup”s first criticisms of Obama, that he was/is a tool(which is awful)… that he is Hitler reincarnate is dubious.
Who is your favorite Quaker BTW? Where is Urban Dan? I like him.

I don’t think Obama is the reincarnation of Hitler, by the way, but the use of symbology and icons is important, as is the use of rhetoric (especially rhetorical flourishes) and oratory.
Hitler was a tremendously gifted speaker and understood intrinsically the need of the people to embrace cultural icons, shared history and a sense of destiny (Deutschland Uber Alles).
Obama is saying one thing and doing another. Consistently. Look at his track record as far as keeping to campaign promises. He’s making Slick Willie Clinton look like Honest Abe.

[/quote]Yes, this was my point. Thanks, Allan. Obama, himself, often strikes me as a hapless school kid who’s lucked into an adult’s job – an African-American version of Tom Hanks’ character in “Big”: “Gee whiz, you mean I actually get to take Air Force One anywhere I want?? Cool!”
He is without question a tool for more sinister people with virtually unlimited pockets who prefer to remain in the shadows. These are the people who may very well be the incarnation of Hitler, and they are using Obama, molding him and enabling the Hitler-esque flourishes Allan refers to in order to capture the “hearts and minds” of Americans.
Isn’t it amusing the way this administration operates? First they try to win the hearts and minds of American voters with an all-out blitzkrieg for Obama, and now they are trying to win the hearts and minds of Arabs. Incredibly, they actually seem to think that the mere act of Obama giving his 1,726th speech – this time in Egypt! – will generate a lovefest in the Arab world: Al Qaeda recruits throwing down their assault rifles and RPGs and donning Obama pajamas and women sporting “hope” decals on their burkhas. As if Arabs will magically forget 100 years of unbridled American imperialism or the fact that the same hands that pushed Bush to the presidency have switched sides and are now pushing Obama. Apparently the elite think that Arabs are as gullible as Americans. I tend to think they’re wrong.
