					<description><![CDATA[So what would the follow-up title be?

&quot;Mama Voted For Obama!&quot;

&quot;The Sane Voted For McCain&quot;


(Of course, &quot;sane&quot; also rhymes with Hussein, doesn&#039;t it?  So does &quot;insane&quot;.)

Let&#039;s stop this before we get a children&#039;s book intended to explain President Obama&#039;s policies as Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces:

&quot;Obama, in his Pajama, pursues Osama on his Momma&#039;s Llama&quot;

					<description><![CDATA[Excellent article - as always neo!

First point:

My own perception is that there is a mass effort to socialize the youngest members of society into a particular mindset. I noticed this during the campaign when I saw my first children&#039;s Obama book.

Children don&#039;t vote (unless you let ACORN near them), so why the book?

What you are exposed to, becomes the norm. Anything that is outside of that developed norm becomes alien - and hence uncomfortable.

They are basically raising an entire new generation of new deal type democrats who are comfortable from the cradle with these kinds of viewpoints, and any Libertarian or Conservative or Republican (not always the same, unfortunately) viewpoints will require deliberate re-education of the individual who takes the initiative to turn away from their early socialization and actually question the beliefs they were spoon fed from childhood.

Of course, by then it&#039;s entirely too late to change what&#039;s going to happen to us and our nation.

Second point:

Obama is going to be greatly constrained financially. Yeah, I know - when have financial constraints ever stopped a democrat congress and democrat president from spending money?

Only in this case things are so bad all over the world that even they have to bow to the laws of economics. Also, don&#039;t count out the republicans being able to point out their deficit spending at every opportunity.

Since they are not going to be able to push through their spending bills as promised, they have to have some other means of placating their supporters.

The only tool left are social issues.

Perhaps that&#039;s why last night I had to change the tv channel 3 times to keep my 5 year old and 10 year old from seeing all about the &quot;man&quot; who was pregnant!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Communism is just a childish view what society is or should be. It operates starting from kindergarten concept of justice and equality: everybody gets equal share of everything, without any idea where from these goods come and who creates them. So it is natural for leftists to try to perpetuate this children mentality well into adulthood, and with concentrated effort, it is possible. What is impossible - it is to organize productive society, when psychic development of its members is arrested at this childish stage.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Nolanimrod Says:
OK. So I’m a gumball. I thought it WAS a parody...&quot;

You are probably treating them as rational, when in fact, with the narcissist bunch that makes up Obama and his followers, it&#039;s far more likely that the more outrageous something from them seems, the more likely they are deadly serious about it.

Keep in mind that narcissists usually have no sense of humor; if you think something from them is a putting you on, you&#039;d best think again.

					<description><![CDATA[OK.  So I&#039;m a gumball.  I thought it &lt;b&gt;WAS&lt;/b&gt; a parody and purchased 6 of the things to send to my friends.  I thought it was a send-up of the MSM and their differing treatments of conservatives / liberals and Democrats / Republicans.

The page which was the clincher for me was the one about safeguarding the environment.  There was a guy with a push-broom (who looked like the janitor in the opening sequence of &lt;i&gt;Mr. Peabody&#039;s Improbable History&lt;/i&gt; cleaning up the roadway after the passage of a large beast.
