Bread and Circuses

So America continues the transition from a citizenry to a people, that waits for government handouts and the comforts of a monarchy as spectacle, broadcast simultaneously on all channels. While Obama preps a cabinet slate, half of whom belong in jail, the media continues applauding loudly to drown out any criticism. And the public watches with glazed eyes. [More]
Daniel Greenfield looks at the spectacle his neighbor to the south is putting on and speaks his mind. And how.

Half?

All, I reckon, including Obama. And I don't think all of the public is watching with glazed eyes, but with JADED eyes. We're especially tired of the idolatry being heaped on this mere mortal.

Jon, its funny you bring that up. The band Disturbed did a song called "Deify" and led up to it with president Bush speaking about something. But Bush never, ever recieved this utter worship, not even close. People were happy he got elected and re-elected but they weren't acting as if it was a answer to prophecy, like they think Obama is. And if Obama is an answer to prophecy, then those prophecies are probably coming from the book of Revlations. Which is bad.

I heard the speech today, a lot of globalist and socialist bs, as well as a health dose of lowering expectations.
