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.

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.

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

Hitler? He was our neighbour. WE know him.
