something blue

I get lulled into feeling that most people are reasonable, that extremism is exactly that - extreme - AKA rare. And, I suppose I ought to check my blind consumption of television sensationalism but the program I couldn’t turn off last night was about hate and generational training.

The propaganda machine would like us to think extremists are only found overseas in those religious, fundamentalist parts of the world. But, there it is – right across the border.

Two girls (who will require some hardcore deprogramming if they get far enough away from their evil mother and grandfather to realise WTF they are doing) perform sweet little “love songs” about Nazi Rudolf Hess, Hitler's deputy Fuhrer. There were clips of the girls doing a little jig around a swastika drawn on their kitchen floor and statements like “I don’t even think that there were that many Jews alive back then” spilled out of their 13-year-old mouths when referring to the Holocaust.

David Duke (you make me puke) a white supremacist and a former US presidential candidate hires these girls to perform at White Nationalist gatherings. Their mother home schooled them and obviously fully supports their career pursuits . Oh, and she got full custody of them after a legal battle with their father, a former drug addict, leaving it free for her to move the family to a “more white area.” Hmmm, gotta wonder which would be a better place for these girls.

I worry about them as kids, but if they continue down the same path I expect I’ll loath them as adults. The piece apparently offended the national vanguard. Awww… They describe the story as “viciously negative coverage of Prussian Blue” and suggest that it was “slavish purveyor of political correctness” Cynthia McFadden’s evil plan to “warp” (umm, okaaay) what these girls are taught to do…

Gawd, just looking at some of these sites made me physically retch.

Cross your fingers and hope these girls REBEL HARD.
