"Wherever politics tries to be redemptive, it is promising too much. Where it wishes to do the work of God, it becomes not divine, but demonic." Pope Benedict XVI
A messianic fever grips a segment of the American populace and media. A great leader seems to them poised to redeem our collective sins and change nearly everything, bringing about a new era in which permanent solutions are found to age-old conditions.
Whenever I watch Barack Obama, listen to his eloquent but nonspecific oratory, and see the near-swooning young people who invariably follow him wherever he goes, I cannot help but think of the pied piper and wonder toward what destination he is marching our youth. pied piper of ChicagoObama is having this pied-piper effect not only on kids, but also on a large swath of Democrat and not a few independents and Republican voters, too.
Call me skeptical, but this whole Obama phenomenon seems downright eerie.
A lust for transformation is a common feature of revolutionaries, and when they succeed in grabbing power, the results usually are brutal. Less than a century ago, massive numbers of people fell for a different political messiah on the European continent, and they were products of an education system and cultural establishment widely regarded as a world leader.
That place was, of course, Germany. And the political messiah promoting "change" was Adolph Hitler.
Hitler's slogan: "Alles muss anders sein!" ("Everything must be different!")

Pretty much every candidate has always overused the word 'change'. But Obama has set a new precedent when it comes to parroting off the word 'change.' He even rebrands it as his own "CHANGE" and uses that to propel himself into the national spotlight. It is amazing how many similarities there are to Hitler and Obama. Both gifted orators. Both smart people from a poor/modest background. Both having a revolutionary image. It makes me shudder what America will become when Obama takes the reign.

Because Obama actually has stated and written a book about what he wants to do should he ever get in power.
>>704135 >yea, i hate the idea of a president who voted against the war and wants to end a war we never should of started. What in the fuck are you talking about. He wasn't even in the senate when the war vote come up. He has since voted to fund the war multiple times.

The intensely bitter rage boiling from the Hillary supporters really suprises me a little. Being so clearly eager to tear down everything about Obama in their state of panic doesn't exactly indicate that they're any different in their arbitrary devotion to Billary, apparently preferring that the republicans win if Hillary can't? Oh, and holy fuck! People are actually excited and passionate about their support of a politician?!?!?!? So we're at a point now where the absolute lowest of expectations in our leaders is not only normal, but where we'll venomously attack the notion of a politician generating any feelings of sincere enthusiasm and hope? Clearly that's what America is all about. Going after Obama or anyone else on their own factors is one thing, but condemning the enthusiasm Obama's supporters feel is the most sadly cynical thing I've ever seen in politics. All the commentators and cartoonists and pundits so inured to bitterness and banality that the positive is something to be immediately attacked. Bravo.
>>704154 >b/c the democrats can't veto the war Yes they can retard. The congress has the power of the purse. All they have to do is refuse to pass the supplemental war spending bills.
The military can't prosecute the war when defunded.
The dems are just cowards trying to find the politically expedient answer. NOT THE ANSWER that would end the war quickest. If they polls changed and 60% of the people supported the war again, the Dems would QUICKLY get back on the bandwagon.

too easy to compare ______ to hitler. omg. are you serious?! you know, the thing that makes them most similar is not the politics or the goals of BO and AF, but their public persona. In other words, it's the idiots who follow them, not the political players that make these comparisons even remotely appropriate. sage for inability to do more than troll and counter-troll itt
