Obama Song is Brainwashing our Children

The Lyrics to the Obama Brainwashing Song

Mm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said that all must lend a hand
To make this country strong again

Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay

Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance

Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight

Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
Yes!

Mmm, mmm, mm
Barack Hussein Obama

This song is teaching our children values that have historically not been ideals taught by our American culture or American school system.

1. He said that all must lend a hand
To make this country strong again

All must lend a hand? Only the poor, the disenchanted, the hopeless, the vulnerable, and other members of non-elitist groups should have to toil in this country. Working together across classes, across genders, and across races! Are you insane? Why would we want to teach our children that? We must stay divided. Those of us who have been historically powerless and less fortunate need to stay in our God given place as the subordinates in society.

2. He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay

Are you fucking serious? Equal work deserves equal pay? Get the fuck out of here! We should abide by the age old customs that we have historically lived by.

For example, men deserve to get paid more than women. After all, women are too bogged down with hormones and emotions to ever get the job done as efficiently and impeccably as men. It is to our country’s duty to preserve the occupational and academic guidelines set long ago for women and minorities. We can’t let them receive equal pay! Fuck them! They have to work 10 times harder to get the equivalent compensation. You give them an inch; those lazy assholes want to take a mile!

3. He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance

Not everyone should be given a chance. Only select people of the population should be able to advance their lot. We need to enforce a strict caste system in the United States. Whatever caste you were born in, is where you must stay!

4. He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight

Why would we ever teach our children to think that all colors, races, ethnicities, and nationalities are equal? It is important to stay divided. Divide and conquer!

This song forces children to accept principles that surely demonstrate socialist ideals. In our capitalist society, we enforce strict guidelines on who should advance, who should work harder, and who is superior. Equality is not human nature. Division causes unrest and unrest makes money. War, famine, and violence. –These are money making endeavours. Destruction spawns profit. We must ensure that the next generation maintains a destructive, segregated, and biased agenda. There is money to be made, people! We must train our children to be obedient capitalist pupils!

Long Live the Bourgeoisie!

We are the Dumbest Generation in History

My professor in my electronic media writing class conducts a mini audience analysis with the students in his class every semester. The audience analysis entails answering questions pertaining to what kinds of media we pay attention to. He noticed that as the years go by, more and more students pay attention to the news less and less. Our generation, the 18 to 35 male and female demographic, are plugged in, but plugged into media outlets that provide no real mental stimulation and no intellectual substance.

Boys and girls, we are currently the dumbest generation in history.

Round of applause. Good work, folks. We are a generation that knows more about Paris Hilton's latest shag and what the hell the Kardashians are doing, than local events that undoubtedly will affect our lives and world events that will, believe it or not, affect us, as well. We are plugged in, but tuned the fuck out.

Whenever I say words like, IMF, World Bank, neoliberal philosophy, the new world order, etc, I get blank stares from my cohorts. Neoliberal capitalism is awesome if you don't really think about it too much and don't look into it too closely. Every part of your perceptual world can be as beautiful as a Monet just as long as you don't get too close to it.

I get called that crazy Berkeley chick that is always militantly talking about politics, world events, and conspiracy theories. Well, let me tell you something, son. These are not conspiracy theories that I'm talking about. If you paid attention, the things I'm talking about are plainly displayed in front of you, but you are too preoccupied with World of Warcraft, Facebook status updates, MTV, VHI, and other head rotting activities to notice the real world around you. You accept explanations for face value and are content to think about things however way someone else told you to. We are a generation of lazy spoiled brats.

We gladly accept the world painted before us as black and white complete with villains and heroes. We hardly ever question the assumed classification of good and evil. Capitalism = good. Communism = bad.

It is too disruptive to our happy world to consider other possibilities and other explanations for why the world is the way it is. Just because you haven't heard of something or thought about a particular situation in a different way than it has been presented to you, it doesn't make it a conspiracy theory.

Hegemony rules. That's why it's called hegemony. (Go ahead. Look this word up. It's okay.)

Never fear! We will soon not be the dumbest generation in history because soon our children will grow up and become even dumber adults than we are because we don't have any critical thinking or analytic skills to teach them.

Alas, some good shit to look forward to!

If free market health care is what you want, then you better tip well!

The term, "socialized medicine", has begun to hold a stigma. Socialized. Like Socialism. We Americans don't like that! Many have argued that the American health care system is doing just fine the way it is. Socialized medicine would be the downfall of us all. Although Obama’s health care proposal is not stringently socialized medicine by definition, critics are slapping this label on it.

Let's take a closer look at how health care in the United States is actually structured. Neoliberal philosophy and principles of capitalism have found its way into medicine. So much so, that textbooks are being re-written to change the word, "patient" to the word, "client." Health care professionals sit in on in-services that instruct us to treat patients like consumers/customers. The customer is always right, right?

If you want a free market health care system that runs on principles of neoliberal capitalism, let's not half ass this thing! Let's go all the way! I am proposing a new health care system that is wholly in tune with spirit of capitalism and free market principles.

As it is now, some people can't afford health insurance. Too bad for them. They must have not worked hard enough in life to be able to afford this luxury. Remember: it's a luxury, not a right.

Just like in other industries, money gets you the best products. Why drive a KIA if you can afford a Mercedes that is suped up with all the latest technological safety devices, right? In our health care system, I propose a similar primary principle: the more money you have, the better health care you can get.

We will divide hospitals into tiers with the best hospitals costing the most. There will be the five star hospitals with the best health care practitioners doling out the best and innovative health care, just like how the hospitality and food and beverage industries are structured.

The rest of us lazy people who did not get our lives together to be wealthy enough to deserve such superb care will go to the other hospitals, the affordable and decent service hospitals, the Applebee's of hospitals, if you will. The dregs of society who are poor will go to the McDonald's of hospitals, getting mediocre health care from health care practitioners that are not getting paid enough to care.

I'm a nurse. So, I want to get a piece of the big business hospital action. I propose instituting a gratuity policy in health care. If you want good health care service, you better tip well. Because if you don't, when you go into cardiac arrest, I might not run on over to your bedside with the crash cart as fast as I can. I might be too busy catering to my other patient that was smart enough to leave me a hefty tip. Tip your nurses well, folks!

As it is, we are already marching toward this kind of health care system built on the principles of neoliberal philosophy. We should just be honest about it. The relationship between health care practitioners and patients has been reduced to a relationship based on financial exchanges. Health care professionals have invaluable services or products and patients have a demand for these goods. There will be no humanity in health care. There is no room for that when there is money to be made.

In my proposed health care system, hospital and medical groups will treat patients like how corporations treat consumers by spending large sums of money hiring consulting and advertising firms to figure out how to get and keep their clients. Actual medicine will take a backseat because it will not be about how well you treat your patients, but how well they think you are treating them.

We will treat our patients with the primary focus on how much money we can make off of them by ordering labs, tests or various other diagnostics, or performing interventions they may or may not really need. (Wait. We may already be doing that. Score!) But who cares? We want to bill them and their insurance companies as much as we can!

Socialized medicine? Who wants that? Health care for all? Are you crazy? Look at all the millions we could be making off of people's illnesses, their suffering, and their pain? Patients are vulnerable. They are lay health people. We can tell them anything and because they are fearful of death and disease, we can make a killing!

We want your money even after you're dead. If you die... Oh, well. At least, we can still bill for it. Even when you are dead and cold, we will still be able to spend your money. And that's what matters the most.
