Creepy Disney


That's how this whole "Disney Friends For Change" campaign strikes me. Creepy. Kind of a Hopey/Changey lollypop for my little kids to suck on. How close is Disney with Obama? Why is the Change message featured so prominently on Radio Disney and the Disney Website? They have their top talent involved in spreading the message. The video on the Friends for Change page features Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana), the Jonas Brothers, and other popular brunettes, Selena and Demi. If you are not acquainted with the world of child stars, these are Big Names. Take my word for it. My boys don't care, because they are not into High School Musical-type stuff. But I know their little friends at school know who these stars are and pay close attention to what they do. And we listen to Radio Disney while driving around in the car. I try to create a politics-free zone for the kids. So imagine my feeling of disgust when I realized what message was coming in over the radio. It was like stepping into a pile of doggie doo.

The part that bothers me the most is that this smacks of brown-shirt indoctrination. Give the kids the buzzwords and talking points, so that when they hit 18 they will recognize the candidates spouting the "correct" message and pull the voting lever accordingly.


Do you remember the Disney-Obama victory celebration?
Disney Channel gets in on Obama Inauguration
by John Frost
Without a doubt these next few days will be historic ones for America. ABC News will have its usual extended coverage of the Presidential Inaugural ceremonies, but Disney Channel is also getting in on the act with the “Kids’ Inaugural: We Are The Future” concert. It will be broadcast from 8:00 - 9:30 p.m. ET/PT January 19th on The Disney Channel, be simulcast on Radio Disney, and streamed on Disney.com immediately following the telecast.

The part that bothers me the most is that the "Change" theme has turned into a slogan for the destruction of our American Republic. Throwing over capitalism for socialism. Change. Yes we can. In the context of the Obama administration, the theme of Change sickens me. I know America was never a perfect place. But it was a darned good place, and these people want to use our shortcomings as an excuse to turn this nation into a socialist/communist oligarchy. Not OK.

Am I against recycling? No. Am I against conservation of resources? No. But why do they have to call the program Friends for Change. Why not Friends for the Earth. Or Friends for Conservation. Or Friends for the Environment. Friends for Change? Change from what? Did we not recycle and turn off light switches before Disney got involved? No. This slogan ties in with the Obama campaign slogan and left wing propaganda. It is a perfect example of youth indoctrination. Saul Alinsky and Karl Marx would be proud. Get 'em while they're young.

We need to write or call Disney and tell them to keep their propaganda away from our kids. They should stop thinking of the nation's children as a commodity for sale. I wonder what favors they curry politically for filling little minds with the "appropriate" messages.

What ever happened to Walt's Disney? The world was a simpler place then.
