“Village of the Damned,” 1960, role models for post-modern Democrat offspring.
Seraphic Secret is struck, but not surprised, at the way Islamists use and abuse their children in the endless war against Western civilization. Here’s a clip of a child preacher from Egyptian TV.
The kid has no idea what he’s saying. He’s just repeating what he’s been taught, regurgitating hate like a robot. In a few years, he’ll strap on a suicide belt and kill dozens of innocent men, women and children.
Seraphic Secret is also struck, but not surprised, that Democrats also use and abuse their children in their jihad against Conservatives. Democrats, like Islamists, draft innocent children into their vulgar propaganda efforts. Here’s the latest child abuse in service to the cult of Barack Hussein Obama, a truly creepy Village of the Damned effort. Again, the children have little idea what the lyrics mean. But they have been indoctrinated into an ideology based on hatred of infidels, in this case, non-Democrats.
Their parents should be arrested for child abuse.
Totalitarian regimes have always enshrined policies whereby children are brainwashed into becoming true believers. The goal of tyrannies is to make obsolete family and religion by replacing these foundations of a civil society with a single political ideology, under the rule of one man, who is invariably deified.
Communists enshrined Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Che, Castro, Kim Jong Il. And of course, Hitler was a pagan deity to the German people.
No one can deny that Barack Hussein Obama was sold as a new messiah.
Islamists also work through a cult of personality: Muhammed is their big man, and Muslim children, by the millions, are taught to believe that killing infidels — especially Jews — is a Muslim’s highest duty.
Democrats are now using the Islamist playbook.
Update: J.E. Dyer, CDR, USN (Ret.) also writes a compelling post at her excellent blog, The Optimistic Conservative: Existential Crisis: Apparently, The Political Left Has Gone Completely Insane. Dyer makes the excellent point that the ad with the singing children is Stalinist in nature, reminding us of the days when children were encouraged to accuse their parents of counter-revolutionary activity.

I don’t know if it’s the Islamist playbook or the communist one. Perhaps the origins are shrouded in mists. But as Lenin famously said, ” Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” We are seeing those seeds in our nation today, with a near majority still ready to vote for Obama and capitalism freely criticized as an ill of society. The right ceded education to the left half a century ago. It will take decades to right.

The social ideological goals of Communism/Progressives and Islamism converge. Both believe in big government, both believe in one party rule, both believe in social engineering, both believe in socialism.
They part ways when it comes to religion. They understand that their main enemy is free enterprise, and Judeo-Christian civilization. Like Stalin and Hitler, they maintain a pact while it is convenient.

Compare the Democrat videos involving children with this one:

Think about the intellect level of this video compared to Lena Dunham’s “vote like it’s your first time” video.
It it the Democrats that are the party of the ignorant and infantile.

This video is certainly better and more human. But I have to admit that it makes me uncomfortable. I don’t believe that using children in partisan politics is right. Children should be allowed to be children.

That is part of the problem, our children are already being politicized and manipulated, at least if they are in public schools. Just like Lena Dunham is used to “define” normal by leftists, so are those kids in the “We Blame Our parents” video. At least the pro-republican video sets up an alternate definition of children as thoughtful and serious.

You are right. This model is better, more thoughtful.
The leftist propaganda in our public schools is outrageous. In CA, elementary school kids just had a mock election where Obama won by a landslide. In one school, the Principal announced the results and told the children to go home and tell their parents that Obama is best for children.
This is not too far from Stalinism.

It seems like they cut the last scene out. Shouldn’t it read:
vote
(fade to black, then)
Democrat.
Robert, don’t forget the third voting block for Dems — illegals. I think they are a big push for this election cycle.

Illegals. Right. When you blur the line between citizen and non-citizen you deny the meaning of citizenship, which is the ultimate goal of the left.

I’m guessing the video will only convince people with an unnatural interest in children to vote Democrat.
They need every minority group they can find.

Let’s not forget that two important Democrat voting blocks are dead people and criminals.
