Glenn Beck “throws” a “frog” into some water and everyone pits him. A class full of kids sings the praises of a D politician and everyone goes “meh”. The crowd here is biased as far as can be. There is no hope for this forum, especially not in the Pit. Just hang it up and call it a day.

Taken in isolation, this incident doesn’t mean much. The reason it’s resonating so strongly, however, is because people are getting a sense that the apparatus of government is increasingly being bent to serve partisan purposes. For example, I’m sure you’re all familiar with the fact that the White House recently tried to use the NEA to organize artists to create propaganda supporting the White House’s policy goals. This is far more worrying than a rogue teacher indoctrinating some kids. The stimulus bill was targeted at projects that supported and benefited liberals. Seven billion dollars was supposed to go to ACORN. States with Democratic governments and senators benefited disproportionately over states that had Republican governments and Senators. The Attorney General’s office is far more politicized than the Bush AG’s office. The summary dismissal of a case against the Black Panthers is a good example, and one which has opened the AG’s office up to investigation. Congress has squashed or attempted to squash multiple investigations into corruption by Democratic Senators like Charles Rangel, Chris Dodd, and John Murtha. There seems to be a growing cult of personality around Obama himself. He’s been on the cover of major news magazines constantly, artists are creating murals of him, published materials from the White House are personalized with his personal campaign imagery, he had his own ‘presidential seal’ made before he was even sworn in, etc. Obama refers to himself in speeches far more than is customary for Presidents. Pro-Obama rallies are often festooned with images of Obama himself. You never saw people at Clinton rallies holding up big paintings of Clinton. None of this by itself is the end of the world, but when you put it all together it starts to look a little creepy to people who aren’t Obama supporters. So when video pops up of a school teaching kids to sing his praises, you get a strong reaction. Since the days of George Washington, America has had a culture of treating the current occupant of the White House as merely a caretaker. Respect was given to the office, not necessarily to the man. Washington refused to be titled when some in the new government wanted him to be referred to as royalty or in some other way to refer to him in a way that separated him from the people. He was adamant that the President should not be personally elevated above any others, and America has by and large kept to that tradition. The treatment of Obama seems to be somewhat of a break from that tradition, and it makes some people nervous. ---

Wow. **Sam** , did the previous 8 years simply not happen in your part of Canada? Not a single thing you talk about wasn’t done just as prominently and just as egregiously during that time, and yet you act as if this is something new and frightening. > [@Sam\_Stone](#): > > Taken in isolation, this incident doesn’t mean much. The reason it’s resonating so strongly, however, is because people are getting a sense that the apparatus of government is increasingly being bent to serve partisan purposes. Increasingly? Are you fucking kidding me? The apparatus of government served nothing _but_ partisan purposes from 2000 to 2008. > [@Sam\_Stone](#): > > For example, I’m sure you’re all familiar with the fact that the White House recently tried to use the NEA to organize artists to create propaganda supporting the White House’s policy goals. This is far more worrying than a rogue teacher indoctrinating some kids. In during the Bush years, the White House and DoJ forced out lawyers who didn’t toe the Republican line. > [@Sam\_Stone](#): > > The stimulus bill was targeted at projects that supported and benefited liberals. Seven billion dollars was supposed to go to ACORN. States with Democratic governments and senators benefited disproportionately over states that had Republican governments and Senators. And that sort of pork-barrelling has never happened before, right? I think this sort of partisan funding allocation stinks, but for you to pretend it’s something new is either a poor reflection on your intelligence, or on your honesty. > [@Sam\_Stone](#): > > The Attorney General’s office is far more politicized than the Bush AG’s office. The summary dismissal of a case against the Black Panthers is a good example, and one which has opened the AG’s office up to investigation. Oh, i get it. This is actually an ironic post, right? Right? Because you can’t be serious. Either that, or you’re a blithering fucking moron. > [@Sam\_Stone](#): > > Congress has squashed or attempted to squash multiple investigations into corruption by Democratic Senators like Charles Rangel, Chris Dodd, and John Murtha. Again, it’s never happened under a Republican administration, right? > [@Sam\_Stone](#): > > There seems to be a growing cult of personality around Obama himself.

Pro-Obama rallies are often festooned with images of Obama himself. You never saw people at Clinton rallies holding up big paintings of Clinton. You mean, the President of the United States has been on the cover of news magazines? I guess that’s also something that’s [never happened before](http://www.whosdatedwho.com/what/publicity_view.asp?RD=000488001m), right? Artists are creating murals? Oh my fucking God!

The treatment of Obama seems to be somewhat of a break from that tradition, and it makes some people nervous. Are you on crack? Did you completely miss the Cult of Reagan? The love for the man, and not just the office, was central to Reagan’s presidency. Hell, most Republicans are still drinking from that particular Kool Aid bottle, although i guess that’s partly because their most recent president was shown to be such a chump. But even the loser who vacated the White House back in January has more than his share of hero worshippers over the past decade. When you say that all this “makes some people nervous,” what this really means is that it “makes Republicans nervous because they only like the game of Glorify the Leader, Quash Dissent, and Supply Pork to Your Cronies when they are the ones holding the purse-strings.” ---

The treatment of Obama seems to be somewhat of a break from that tradition, and it makes some people nervous. And this is utter shit. Another half assed justification used to continue garbage politics. “Obama is popular and we’re scared.” This despite the fact that he is the first black president (thusly relatively historic) and the fact that his approval ratings are going down. Some cult of personality. I’ll say it again. You want to say that it’s about issues? Make it about issues. Making an issue over the myth that there is some widespread cultlike fanaticism about Obama makes you look like an ass, which really is where you can stuff this “cult of personality” nonsense. If people liking the president makes you nervous, maybe it’s time you just grew a pair. ---

the school districts statement about the video: > **[Home - Burlington Township School District](https://www.burltwpsch.org/?pageID=00013&docset=super&docid=200910012)** > > Home - Burlington Township School District > [@](#): > > Dear Burlington Township Families: > By now, we’re sure that you are aware of a video placed on the Internet that has been reported heavily by the media. The video is of a class of students singing a song about President Obama. > Over the past two days we have been able to learn more about this situation and would like to provide you with some additional information. The song was one of eight skits performed during a February 2009 program that included second grade classes. Parents attended the program which took place on February 27, 2009. The other skits in the program included Groundhog Day, Chinese New Year, Abraham Lincoln, Valentine’s Day, George Washington, Mardi Gras, and Dental Health Month. The song about President Obama was in recognition of Black History Month. We have been informed that the lyrics of the song were sent home with the children in advance of the assembly, which was the teacher’s normal procedure. There were no concerns or complaints prior to, during, or after the program. > On March 23, 2009, an author visited the Young School as part of the school’s Women’s History Month recognition. As is usual procedure, parents were notified prior to the visit and invited to attend. The author presented two assemblies during which she read from two of her books. She also met with the Teen Book Club at our high school and did an evening book signing for parents and children. The author was accompanied by two individuals. After the first assembly on March 23rd, the class that performed the song at the February assembly about President Obama provided a special performance for the author, since one of the books she wrote was about Barack Obama. We were informed by a representative of the author that one of the individuals who accompanied the author video recorded the performance. School staff had no knowledge of the recording. > We have learned that the video was posted on the author’s website without district approval or knowledge. It appears that another party copied the video from the author’s website and placed it on YouTube. We have been informed that the video has been removed from the author’s website. > Our district takes measures to ensure that our children’s privacy is protected. We are carefully evaluating what occurred and will implement any additional needed procedures to prevent children’s images in school from being publicly posted without permission. We will also provide reasonable direction and guidelines so that classroom activities will not give the appearance of promoting a particular political perspective. > We have taken additional measures over the past two days to assure the safety and security of children and staff. We have worked very closely with our police department and school resource officers. We have had a police presence on our campuses and have increased administrative presence at the B. Bernice Young School. News crews have been kept off campuses. There were no incidents in our schools as a result of this matter. Our children, staff, and schools are safe and secure. We are working with our police department to have the video removed from YouTube. > We wish to assure our community that the administration and Board of Education will carefully study this matter. We appreciate and value input from you, the residents of Burlington Township, and will continue to listen to your opinions on this matter. If you have any questions, please contact me directly. > Sincerely, > > Dr. Christopher M. Manno, > Superintendent of Schools ---

Seven billion dollars was supposed to go to ACORN. The Democrats folded like a cheap suit on that, so goes the nefarious conspiracy to register poor people to vote. I see zero problem with increasing voter participation, even if the net effect happens to benefit one political party over another. It makes sure the government better reflects the will of the people. I’m sorry that offends you. I wouldn’t begrudge a voter registration drive in the Appalachia region, even though it would be likely to hurt Obama and the Democrats. ---
