Radical Narcissism: What Is Our Children Learning?

Posted by on Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 4:43 PM

Rules-for-radicals.jpg
The conservative response to Obama's innocuous speech to students has been decidedly quiet, compared to the shitstorm that was circling the inter-drains all last week. But leave it to conservablog Big Hollywood to fully decode Obama's brainwashing techniques. Turns out, Obama uses the word "I" too damn much. But we knew that already, didn't we? John McCain tried to warn us! Anyway, here come the commenters to "deconstruct" the speech:

Liberal idiots [redundancy] don’t seem to understand our objection to having obama speak to the children. Recently some liberal Hollywood airheads put together a propaganda piece for children where they pledged allegiance to obama, not the country. This is what children living in Cuba, North Korea or the former Soviet Union were/are subjected to. Here in America we don’t worship president’s that come and go, that’s for toadies, sycophants and serfs. Democrats routinely pervert the minds of young children in public schools with homosexual propaganda, anti-religious propaganda and anti-Republican propaganda.

This one is especially good: Either we won, or he's a douchebag!

I've got two different takes on the speech, and I'm not sure which is correct.

1. The speech was originally going to be more controversial, as indicated by the Dept. of Education's suggestion of a writing assignment on how students "can help the President". The speech was changed after the backlash.

or

2. The speech was always planned to be the same old innocuous stuff adults have been telling kids all along, and in the face of declining polls the President just wanted a positive photo op (video op?) to boost his ratings.

More conservative theories on the speech, including radicalism, masturbation, and much more, after the jump.

The bit from the lesson plan about writing letters to themselves and then following up on them later smacks of something I’ve heard before…

Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals: RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”

The intent of this is seriously demented and intended to damage the young ones’ self-esteem, long-term, should they, after discussing what they write with their parents, decide that they wrote in haste. I think this is monstrous!

It is just the beginning these statists are unrelenting. They conquered almost all of the government, the mainstream media, the schools, and the unions. So: Where are you going to run? Where are you going to hide? —————————- I know to the ballot box every election.

Obama's obsession with himself is pathologic...
..Men normally grow out of self-abuse (mentally or otherwise)
There is somemething odd with this dude

The phoney forked tongued wind-bag need's to shut-up, and lead the Country. I hope there is something in the national healthscare plan to treat all the people who are sick of seeing this overexposed loser on TV all the time.

Make our nation more fair and free?

Sure, "spreading the wealth" until every one has as much of the same does that wonderfully. Like in many impoverished third-world countries, every one can have the same amount of dirt and disease for free, and that's fair.

Did he ever mention that if you work hard you can have more than other people, especially more than those on government handouts? Would Michael Jordan have worked so hard for just a pat on the back and the gratitude of The Party? Somehow such a "capitalist" message is getting lost, I wonder why.

They're not conservatives.

They're extremist America-hating comrades of the Republic Party.

And they hate our core values of Truth, Justice, and the American Middle Class way of life.

Bah. It makes me sad that my fellow liberals can dish it out but they can't take it. The one thing the republicans got right is that the democrats are a bunch of pussies. Everything else they spout is nonsense.

What do you care? Super majority!

It's easy to see how these people managed to elect GWB, the dumbest dick wad in history, and send the country into a ditch. Thank the stars we have a man like Obama to repair all the damage.

@4, WTF are you on about? NASDAQ COMP is at about 40% of its alltime high; it just reached an ELEVEN MONTH high, which is rather not the same thing.

Whether the rise and fall of NASDAQ is related to the overall health of the economy remains unproven. Stocks != the economy.

Yeah, if a great basketball star is born in a communist state like, say, China, he just sits around twiddling his thumbs his whole life, right?

Better watch out for that public healthcare, or we'll be just like Europeans, who only have time to play soccer and drink wine!

Sounds like the blog writer needs to watch Jesus Camp (conveniently available streaming on Netflix -- http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Jesus_Camp/…), where the poor jesusy kids are forced to pray to George W. Bush. What was that about not worshiping presidents?

Why didn't Obama speak more about same sex equality in schools?

#2 Yes, the Democrats are such pussies that health care legislation will pass and the economy will have largely recovered in two to three years. We'll see who's bitching and moaning then.

Dagnabbit! They dun took over the unions!

Geebis, we're a politically illiterate and historically amnesiac nation. There used to be people further left than libruhls involved in union politics. And there's a larger pattern around the world... yeesh...

I think those peoples' insanity is fascinating to watch. On an abstract level, I feel sorry for them; their entire world has been turned upside down with Obama becoming president, and they are completely at a loss as to how the world will return to normalcy. But I get over it when I'm reminded they're hatemongering assholes.

"Obama uses the word 'I' too damn much."

Yeah, and these people use superfluous apostrophes too damn much. Maybe they just don't like to be reminded of what abysmal failures they were in school.
