The Star Wars link

I debated whether I was going to post this as a blog or not… my reasons for the debate were somewhat selfish.
I was concerned that a certain element in our society would be a little too… thick to figure out the meaning of this blog and would thus make fun of me/my blog. I was afraid in other words that posting this would be compromising what I was trying to say.

But then I realized that those people would deliberately misunderstand things anyway! So it doesn’t matter how straight or humorous I try to make it. They will still try to put me down by taking things out of context so here I go.

Recently the Liberals who are pro Obama have been complaining about the town hall meetings.
They have a problem with the signs that compare this administration with the early Nazi party.

I think they are right.

For one thing Hitler was a short, angry, white guy. Obama is a tall, Angry, Black guy.

For another Hitler was clearly interested from the start in killing everyone he didn’t like.
Obama hasn’t made it clear who he wants to kill, yet.

But there is a similarity in the sci fi world.
For my analogy today I turn to Star Wars.

I would compare President Obama to Emperor Palpatine.

Let us look at the similarities… Palpatine got control of the republic by a vote of no confidence over the old administration. So did Obama. (remember? “John McCain will just be another George Bush”)

Palpatine manipulated things to get his position. So did Obama.
Both incited fear issues in order to get in.
Palpatine took dangerous, major, Sweeping steps to consolidate his position once in place. So is Obama.
Both of them, in their campaigns, promised hope and change.
Both claimed to be on the side of the people.
Neither lived up to the expectations people had, apparently preferring to serve themselves.

So for me the question arises, Who qualifies as the Jedi in this scenario? Who is the rebellion? And does Obama have his own "order 66" already in place? These are important to know.


Of course there is also the point Mace Windu made… “There is always two, the master and the apprentice.”
If Obama is the “Sith Lord” then who is his apprentice?(or his he the apprentice? in which case we need to look for the master.)
Personally, I say we need to start watching out for a little boy with a cutsie (semi Girlish)nickname!
