Jewish World Review March 14, 2012/ 20 Adar, 5772 Dear Leader Knows what's best for us children By Dave Weinbaum
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
I would speculate that everyone has about a dozen movies that they watch over and
over, often sputtering the lines before the actors give them. I confess to being
one of them.
A recent showing of the multi-awarded Gladiator flick found me in a stage of
full enthrallment.
Caesar, played to evil perfection by Joaquin Phoenix and Russell Crowes Roman
General, Maximus turned Gladiator, remind me of our present-day situation here
in the USA. After murdering his father, the new Caesar demonstrated his limited
intelligence and outlandish arrogance. Caesar conveyed that he thought of his subjects
as his children. He would take care of them and their pedestrian needs without
the interference of that disrespectfully bothersome Roman Senate—and they would
love him in return. After all, he was Caesar.
Gladiator, then the head general of the Roman Empire and Caesar designate, was
one of many who suspected young Caesar illegitimate. He was sure Caesar had
murdered his father. Unlike all others, Gladiator refused Caesar's superiority.
Miraculously, Gladiator survives assassination and, unbeknownst to Caesar, gallops
from Germania to his house in Spain only to find the charred bodies of his wife and
son hanging before their burnt house. Wounded, he collapses after he buries them.
Picked up by a wandering Gladiator showman, he slowly works his way back
from Gladiator Vaudeville in the outlying provinces to play the Coliseum in Rome.
You don't have to have a title to be a leader
While Gladiator is en route, Caesar has already arrived at his Roman Palace from
where he will rule the largest empire then known to man. He becomes exacerbated
by the petty Senators imploring him to make trivial decisions for the benefit of the
ordinary citizens. He pledges to eliminate their power.
So how will he govern? Easy! He'll give the populace 150 days of games at the
Coliseum. Caesar has loaves of bread thrown into the stands -- sort of like
ancient food stamps. The citizenry loves him for it. They feel entitled by Caesar's
largesse -- like the children he's deemed them to be.
The Roman populace is entertained as he continues to close down their rights
to representative government behind their backs.
HAIL DEAR LEADER!
Just as Caesar lectured and threatened the Senate and claimed superiority to all,
so goes our Dear Leader as he lectures Congress, Supreme Court Judges,
Cardinals, Jewish heads of state, and anyone else who would have the temerity
to disagree with such superior intellect. He's even called for his own army of
proletariats in the form of a civilian force, as well funded, well armed and as well
manned as our regular armed forces.
To complement the above, he's claimed new powers to kill anyone he sees fit,
both overseas and at home.
You see, Dear Leader's intellectual acuity has been challenged by few and
worshipped by all in the MSM. According to them, the evidence is overwhelming.
If you disagree-well we all know what that means. You're a racist.
Nobody knew much about Obama's life before the 2008 election. Only a few
conservative's bothered to vet him. When they revealed their hard-found information,
like Reverend Wright, Louis ''the Jew Hater'' Farrakhan and Bill ''the bomber''
Ayers, they were threatened and labeled racist and right-wing nuts.
Citizens, now regarded as children by Dear Leader have benefited by the gift of
his knowledge:
Pay no attention to that man who's directly elected and responsible for your
safety. Dear Leader will provide!
As Dear Leader and his cronies continue to play this shell game, the American
public is maturing. No longer willing to believe Daddy O, they're making decisions
based on facts, especially the ones that are trickling like one of Kevorkian's
slow-drip death machines into the Obama Reelection campaign. Andrew Breitbart,
our Gladiator on roller blades, now and for eternity, is dripping fact after fact
after fact against a billion dollar campaign.
President Obama, the kids have grown up.
It's time for America to turn thumbs down on Dear Leader and his thugs.
