A Good Education

Post by _bcspace »

Follow the rules, comrades ... or else

Of course those who elected Obama and the Democrats haven't learned this lesson at all and are doomed to repeat history.

What's the connection between the linked story and your comments?
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"

The connection is that they are leading us down this same path to tyranny. Socialism absolutely requires it.

Would this reasoning also apply to religious leaders who encourage unwavering obedience?

Depends on whether or not this obedience is to truth or error.

Regardless of truth or error, neither these kids singing a song about Obama nor the Hiltler Youth have the raw fervor or production value of an LDS Youth dance festival honoring the Prophet. Wouldn't the main factor for condemnation be our own bias in this decision of whom we will direct our barbs, with truth and error being an esoteric smoke and mirrors afterthought?

The difference being that people may not have much of a choice or even knowledge of what's going on in the case of a governement run school.

No, I think the main element is the aforementioned choice which socialism and the left always seek to deny.

Mok, when are you going to turn that cute little penguin into what it really is...a Velociraptor?

You really, really don't know, and that's what's so unutterably frightening about the aptly name sheeple such as the one to whom I am speaking.

BARACK OBAMA KIDS AND Hitler YOUTH SING FOR THEIR LEADER

Praise the Man! . . . . . . Image . . . . . . Music with a message.
LDS YOUTH (and adults and everybody) SING FOR THEIR LEADER.

Path to tyranny? Sounds familiar. See "History of the Church".

Hitler? He was our neighbour. WE know him.
You may read about him. This makes a little difference.

Under the sun, than you, you Gods!

Should I honour you? Why?
