Well said Frem. The ideals are what's important, not symbols. And the gods only know we've failed to live up to them many a time; all we can do is hold our collective feet to the fire and keep trying.

And I like the idea of having a place to further hoist the flag in defiance.

Nah, I gotta buck the crowd here: Another Sky has a point. This is very scary, and it's coming from Obama, who is fostering a messianic cult of personality, which, for a head of state, is a very very dangerous thing.

Remember the Obama pre-presidential seal? How about the Obama Parthenon, where he put himself in place of Zeus was it?

Okay, I take the point that Bush did a little of this but two things about that

1) A little, yes, photo ops and garbage, but this is on a much larger scale. (Please Remember what happened to those Russian and German children...)

2) I don't quite follow the liberal logic here: Are you saying Bush *wasn't* scary? Bush was scary as hell. If you're going to say, after 8 years of calling Bush the devil, then turn and say "If Bush did it, it's okay?"

Seriously. This gets my WTF?!?!, Mate. So, the devil is suddenly okay, or is it what's good enough for the devil is good enough for me?

Sure, hardcore republican loyalists didn't complain about republican photo ops. Big surprise? I don't hear any worries at all from even the casual left here. I know there are some people here who find this whole thing just a little bit unnerving.

A little note from Ron Paul on the stupid peace prize thing: Obama was nominated for the prize after 12 days in office. By this point, Obama had already invaded a US ally to attack a civilian population.

This is scary guys. I don't care if you like obama or his policies or don't. This kinda blind obedience to executive power is very dangerous, and the use of children is manipulative, destructive and very scary.

We're talking about a very serious topic here. The proposed agenda "change it, rearrange it, we're going to change the world, bring them freedom, etc..." Stuff, this agenda, it's not just about socialism, this agenda is about WWIII. It's about the US knowing what's best for the world, and bringing that to not just to Iran and Afghanistan, but Pakistan, India, Iran, Latin America, Europe, Africa. And there's gonna be more than a couple folks who disagree with that.

In Afghanistan alone we are out gunned 50:1. We have 60,000 coalition soldiers, right now they have 3 million. The pentagon has put out the word that we cannot win an even war, we must have military superiority. Well, news flash, even with our allies, our real allies, the ones that voted for Chicago, we don't have 3 million soldiers. There's only one way to get them: Conscription.

So, yeah you think we don't know that this was going on before Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Sr., sure it was, but we haven't crossed that line... yet. When I hear talk about "serve for citizenship" or "equal burden" policies that say we must have one contractor for each US soldier... at least, that's a minimum requirement, we could be talking about a worldwide draft.

In a time like this, given the geopolitical situation do you want a culture of blind obedience and messianic worship? Screw partisanship for a second, and give this one some straight thought. People gave Bush hell, and I don't mean media people, I mean, we the people, the masses balked at his every move, and only wished we had a 20 foot statue of him to knock over. Well, we might be headed towards a 20' statue of Obama, and I don't see anyone ready to lay a finger on it...

Concerned is all.

This is what I'm getting at. I might add ESPECIALLY given the geopolitical situation.
Then there's the 'repeating the past' angle:

I thought I might just be a little over concerned at the national hysteria until I read a short interview(which alas I now cannot find ) with a man who was in the Hitler Youth back in the 40s. He said current conditions reminded him of it so much it was eerie.

People don't understand how horrific dictators come to power and then stay there. It's a lot easier when 'we the people's' attitude is adoring and all-trusting instead of evaluating and informed. You don't have to love or hate the president, you just have to know what the heck he's doing.

I don't know if you're really going for a ride, but I think you've been taken for a ride.

Do you have a source for your claim that she's the one that "started" this, or are you merely repeating this because it's what Michelle Malkin said?

By the way, you misspelled Ms. Carney-Nunes's name. Seems if you're going to spend that much time hating her, you'd get the name right...

Here's some of what the Washington Post had to say about it:

Quote:

Carney-Nunes, swept up in a viral tornado of vitriol, had nothing to do with the children's song. She was doing an author's reading in the school that day.

Carney-Nunes, who writes children's books and was a year behind Obama at Harvard Law School, watched as strangers posted her personal information on the Internet. She read, "You're a dirtbag commie propagandist trying to infect children with your failed Marxist ideology." And "your Obama chant is right out of Africa." And "get ready for a massive attack!!!" And "my friend GLENN BECK will also shove this in your face until justice is served." She made copies (which she shared with The Washington Post) and then deleted the messages, hoping the tornado would set her back down.

After a few days, with the outcry expanding to calls for the school principal and district superintendent to be fired, Carney-Nunes issued a statement through a publicist saying that she "did not write, create, teach or lead the song about President Obama in the video," and that "the song was presented to her by a teacher and students as a demonstration of a project that the children had previously put together." The district superintendent gave the same account in a letter sent home to parents.

Carney-Nunes said an associate of hers videotaped the children's performance and later uploaded it, along with video and photos from other of her readings, to Carney-Nunes's YouTube account.

An e-mail to Malkin Saturday seeking comment was not answered.

Carney-Nunes spends a lot of her free time teaching children how to bridge divides, but she has no idea how to build a dialogue with those who attacked her.

"How can I talk to those people?" she said. "These are people who persist in believing that Barack Obama is a Muslim, that he isn't a citizen of this country. You tell me: Where is the beginning of that conversation?"

The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means;
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
