Liberal Fascism Obama Style

by Paul Gessing

I stand on record as not caring who wins the presidential election. Neither mainstream candidate has pledged to shrink our federal government and obey the Constitution. That said, having had Jonah Goldberg in town a few weeks ago to discuss his book and the broader concept of Liberal Fascism, I have become more aware of the reality that fascism is a leftist ideology.

Recently, some disturbing videos in support of Obama's cult of personality have come to light. Check this one out. It is reminiscent of an adolescent military march. This one is even more frightening as the kids in the video are younger and are clearly being indoctrinated into Obama worship by their parents.

Ultimately, the problem here is not really Obama per se but the cult of the Presidency. No longer are presidents considered mere officers in a Constitutional republic, but they are perceived as catalysts for self realization and our hopes and dreams. This is not a good thing.

OK, kids who are too young to think for themselves have been talked into singing a song praising a political candidate. Hardly unique to Obama.

But comparing them to Hitler Youth? Get a grip, man! The closest thing to a Nazi position Obama has taken has been his support for Bush's Bailout of Big Business, so why don't you show Sarah Palin backing the bailout at a GOP rally and call it "Triumph of the Will."

I don't think Obama is a Nazi at all (and I don't think I indicated that I did although the video did). Hitler was a fascist, so were Mussolini and Woodrow Wilson. I think both McCain and Obama have their fascistic tendencies...McCain's cult of the state and Obama's cult of personality.
