I haven’t religiously followed a television series since Kung Fu: The Legend Continues went off the air more than a decade ago. Many good shows have come and gone since then, I am sure, but none of them focused on the intricacies of roundhouse kicking so I didn’t waste my time. I should have paid better attention, because the ‘V’ mini-series is so poignant, if not terribly entertaining, that every American who understands what the Obama administration is doing should watch it with a note pad in hand.
‘V’, the TV show, not the letter of the alphabet, might as well have been named ‘O’. The remake of the 80’s sci-fi series presents viewers with a reality so strikingly similar to Obama-era America that one wonders if the show’s writers saw this coming. For those who are not up to speed, the plotline of ‘V’ is simple: alien lizards dressed up as humans (Visitors, or simply, ‘V’, led by their commander Anna) surround the Earth, claim to be peaceful, and promise to enhance the lives of Earthlings with their advanced technology. The price for all this bliss? Oh, nothing, really. Just the complete surrender of all sovereingty and the total acceptance of alien domination by all humans.
Obama supporters couldn’t snatch up a deal like that fast enough. But those of us with functioning brains would be just a tad bit skeptical. On the show, humans divide along these lines with all the fear and self-doubt Americans feel over the questions posed by Obama’s promises to replace what is left of our freedom with the specious security offered by totalitarian rule.
The photogenic but devious Anna is such a delicious metaphor for Obama, and the show leaves no doubt that she is every bit as malicious as the President and anyone who trusts her is a fool. However, it’s not easy to stand up to the peer pressure and public sentiment that comes with opposing a popular regime which enjoys absurdly favorable media coverage. At least on the show, Scott Wolf’s character is a reputable reporter who participates in the shenanigan until he realizes what the aliens are up to. Oh, if only somebody in the American media would examine the writings of Elena Kagan or Cass Sunstein--they might have the same epiphany!
The protagonists on ‘V’ are obviously the leaders of the resistance, known as the ‘Fifth Column’, an allegory for the Tea Party movement. They are denounced as ‘terrorists’, and considered a ‘threat to peace’, although they are not the instigators of violence. They are accused of lying and spreading calumnies despite the fact that it is they who know the truth. Hmm? Oh, I was describing the Fifth Column, not the Tea Party. Or was I?
My favorite reference to Obama is Anna’s secret million-man (lizard) army being grown in a giant incubator. Her plan was to deploy them as soon as they were hatched, in the same way Obama is currently building a “civilian army” (as promised in a July 2008 campaign speech) to do his bidding. Unfortunately for Anna, her army was destroyed by the resistance before it had a chance to do any damage. Let’s hope we can short-circuit Obama’s plans before he can cause any more devastation to our Constitution and our country.

by the way, dont you think, like in any socialist society, "V" series would be prohibited because it clearly references the present situation in the country?
