A cult of personality or personality cult arises when a country’s leader uses mass media to create a heroic public image through unquestioning flattery and praise. Cults of personality are often found in dictatorships but can be found in some democracies. from Wikipedia
Yes, this is another one of those “Obama is just like the leaders of the Nazi party” posts. Really, think of the many parallels.
Nazis focused on the minds of the youth knowing they would influence (or intimidate) the older generations.
Anyone disloyal to the Furher was prosecuted (or persecuted).
Children were manipulated by their parents to sing the praises of Der Furher.
Generally, personality cults are most common in regimes with totalitarian systems of government, that seek to radically alter or transform society according to (supposedly) revolutionary new ideas. Often, a single leader becomes associated with this revolutionary transformation, and comes to be treated as a benevolent “guide” for the nation, without whom the transformation to a better future cannot occur. This has been generally the justification for personality cults that arose in totalitarian societies of the 20th century, such as those of Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler. (again from Wikipedia)
Am I saying that Obama is a Nazi or Hitler? No, I am not. I am showing the tools and methods used in the German “Great National Mind-fuck” are alive and well in the U.S.
Government control of industry. Government control of banking. Government control of healthcare.
21 (or is it 22 now) government figures that report ONLY to the President.
| Bailout czar | Education czar | Latin America czar |
| Cybersecurity czar | Internet czar | Afghan-Iraq war czar |
| Income redistribution czar | Voter List czar | Radio-Internet Fairness czar |
| War czar | Drug czar | Energy czar |
| AIDS czar | Zoning czar | Land-use czar |
| Tech Czar | Climate Czar | Border Czar |
| TARP Czar | Performance Czar | Health-care czar |
Is putting control of all these sectors under one man and his sycophants a good idea? Is it a good idea to allow this “end-around” of the system of checks and balances?

My guess is there would be 24 tsars.
Why 24?
Well, in the Revelation there are 24 elders surrounding the throne of God and casting their crowns while worshipping God.
… or not.
Thanks,:)

Ed,
Just because he thinks he is God-like does not make him God.
But it it would be interesting to see if he stops at 24
