Strange days are here

My topic is current political currents and trends. I'm not an alarmist, but I feel that if some attention isn't drawn to some disturbing trends and events then things really will become a Mell of a Hess.
I've read and seen some videos that are, for lack of a better way to put it, bonkers. One that I have seen that Stephanie directed me to on YouTube had some Hollywood celebrities saying that they would pledge themselves as servants to Obama (in this case it was Demi Moore) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTQawLBC59g Trust Hollywood types to be hair brained about things and to get them backwards. Mr. Obama is a servant of the people. He is an elected official. When I saw packs of trading cards of him at Target I thought it was innapropriate but when I hear and see the liberal left wing loonies talking about this obedience to Obama crap it makes the hair on my neck stand on end. I support Mr. Obama because he is our elected President but that does not mean I swear fealty to him as these nuts imply we should. Maybe they're not being as serious as I deem them, but I take them at their word in this. Have we learned nothing from history? Adolf Hitler demanded his followers swear loyalty to him directly (and they did) and not the office of Chancellor (even that is not a good idea) or to the constitution (or form of one) of Germany. Its the kind of stuff that freaks me out. Do people really realize what they are setting themselves up for with that kind of thinking and talk? This will give you some idea of what people should really be thinking: Oath of Enlistment In the Armed Forces EXCEPT the National Guard (Army or Air)
I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

It says "according to regulations" but that means that any order that is unlawfully given (such as shooting innocent civilians) is to be disregarded and refused. If the President gives an unlawful order (it can happen) it should be disregarded as well. The tired old excuse "I was just following orders" that has been given an innumerable amount of times is no alibi for misbehavior. It didn't save the Nazi leaders in the Nuremburg trials and it won't save anyone else either. My intent is not to tar this administration for being like the Nazis. I look at it as a cult of personality which is always a disturbing thing. It has happened time and time again in history and it has always gone bad.
