An Obama Regiment?

So, now, Obama fans are creating junior regiments with Obama T-shirts and camouflage pants?

I really don't care for this Obamadoration. Too much of a cult of personality - you know, like Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, etc.

Not to go over the top with this, but I don't recall anything like this during any election in my lifetime. It's scary to me.

Thanks to Blatherings for bringing this to light!

Goodness. Politics is finally firing you up, dear.

Heh. Of course, tonight I'll be hiding in the basement while you watch the debates!

I think there were groups called Wideawakes marching around with torches, in the North, around 1860. Weird popular movements were suppressed in the South at the time, the South being into weird slaveocratic movements.

I still wish to visit the graves of both Lincoln and also Davis, so that I may pee on both of them.

Dunno about Buchanan. Anybody have any ideas?

Dang, JoA, is Beth exempt from the "not armed and drinking at the same time" rule, or is she that scary even without access to weapons?

My own horseback guess, from reading her writings for a few years: I would not want to get athwartways with Beth in a situation in which she cared about what happened.

JTG - you misunderstand. I have to watch the debate tonight because I will be on a radio panel tomorrow morning at 8:00 am central - if you want to listen, you can create a log in and listen live. KMBZ - click on Listen Live and follow the directions.

Best of luck on the panel tomorrow!

And I couldn't watch the video because it's yet ANOTHER vid pulled from YouTube. (Funny, it's only seems to be the ones attacking $cientology and anything remotely poking fun at Obama that disappear.)

Remember your parents' and grandparents' advice that "there's a time and a place for everything"?

That is the #1 rule to be busted by the culture-destroyers. Rock bands to warm up the political rally? Sure. Military regimentation in a political campaign? Why not? It's all part of the Great Dumbing-down of America. Make everything so resemble everything else that ZERO thought is required to differentiate events.

Soylent Green?
