Reminiscent of Stalin’s Cult of Personality

Is the Obamamania surrounding Obama a reincarnation of the cult of personality which Josef Stalin so ruthlessly took advantage of?  I think it could be.

Stalin, and his slavish politboro rubber stampers, saw enemies everywhere.  Whether it was kulaks, scientists, army officers, ordinary citizens, or some other association of individuals, each group, at some point, came under suspicion for treasonous or terrorist tendencies.  This is happening today in America, so far without the purges and the gulags.

While I know I’m just a low level terrrorist, and am comfortable with that designation, Karen Bass, California’s speaker of the assembly, believes conservative talk radio individuals are terrorists, while Paul Krugman believes that individuals who deny climate change and government intervention are traitors.  And let’s not forget that Deparment of Homeland Security’s Janet Napolitano believes veterans are prime terrorist wannabes, and that the State of Missouri believes you maybe a terrorist if you support a political party other than the Democratic Party.  While the “One,” Obama, leads the terrorist behind every corner madness by stating that foes of the cap and trade boondoggle are terrorizing for political gain.

Stalin may be dead, and the Soviet Union no more, but ironically Stalin’s legacy lives on in the West.
