What? Obama scrubbed “non-existent” political content from school speech after conservative complaints

When conservatives complained that President Obama intended to indoctrinate children with his school speech, liberals howled with mock indignation. But if the liberal Washington Post is to be believed (admittedly a risky proposition), conservatives had good reason to worry.

You see happy children. Democrats see future voters.

When conservatives complained that President Obama intended to indoctrinate children with his school speech, liberals howled with mock indignation.

But if the liberal Washington Post is to be believed (admittedly a risky proposition), conservatives had good reason to worry.

Note this nugget buried deep within a recent Washington Post story:

When critics lashed out at President Obama for scheduling a speech to public school students this month, accusing him of wanting to indoctrinate children to his politics, his advisers quickly scrubbed his planned comments for potentially problematic wording. They then reached out to progressive Web sites such as the Huffington Post, liberal bloggers and Democratic pundits to make their case to a friendly audience.

Say what? Problematic wording had to be scrubbed from his planned comments?

If, as the Obama administration insisted, the original speech contained no attempt to indoctrinate the children, why did any “potentially problematic wording” need to be scrubbed?

This is similar to when Democrats hurridly removed the death panels from ObamaCare legislation after howling that there was no such thing as death panels.

The way we understand it, the theory behind everything the Democrats do these days can be summed up as, “It doesn’t exist unless someone actually notices that it exists in which case we’ll change it while simultaneously insisting that our opponents are making it all up.”

Liberals breath sigh of relief as Obama’s speech is relatively blah

Once that words “God Bless America” scrolled off the president’s teleprompter on Tuesday, a mighty wind blew across the country. It’s our guess that it was caused by a collective sigh of relief from the left. They’d been holding their breath and praying.

Relax, libs. He didn't announce Kommunes for Kids or anything crazy like that
Relax, libs. He didn't announce Kommunes for Kids or anything crazy like that

Once that words “God Bless America” scrolled off the president’s teleprompter on Tuesday, a mighty wind blew across the country.

It’s our guess that it was caused by a collective sigh of relief from the left. They’d been holding their breath and praying – well okay, holding their breath and wishing – that President Obama could make it through the entire speech to America’s school children without proving right wing fears justified.

It was rather hilarious, um, we mean “ironic,” that all the typical left wing news sources withheld saying anything until after it was over. Even the Huffington Post held off from posting the story “Opposing Obama’s School Speech Isn’t Partisan – It’s Just Crazy” until after the speech concluded just in case it was a little crazier than the HuffPo thought it might be.

Relief for the left is destined to be somewhat short-lived, however. Obama is scheduled to speak again tomorrow night to a rare joint session of the house.

Not knowing what the loose-lipped President might say is having a real effect on the practice of faith by progressives – who normally worship only money and power.

Rumor has it that Nancy Pelosi was seen kneeling on the House steps, but we’re sure she was just picking up loose change to help The One balance the budget.

What President Obama should have told America’s kids

“Pick a goal,” the President said, “Work hard. Succeed.” Some people were surprised that his speech to America’s school kids sounded almost conservative. Nevertheless, we wish he would have told America’s kids this story, apocryphal or not.

socialism

“Pick a goal,” the President said, “Work hard. Succeed.” Some people were surprised that his speech to America’s school kids sounded almost conservative.

We say, “Of course, he needs to inspire success.” He knows his socialist paradise depends on a rich, successful minority to support the poor, oppressed majority.

Nevertheless, we wish he would have told America’s kids this story, apocryphal or not:

An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had never failed a single student, but had once failed an entire class.

The students in that class had insisted that socialism was the perfect political system since it’s a great equalizer and assures that no one will be poor and no one will be rich.

“If you really believe that,” the professor said, “Let’s bring socialism to this classroom. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade.”

No more Cheetos: Effete liberal snobs want your kids to eat effete liberal lunches

Grist who calls itself “the most recognizable voice in environmental journalism,” reports that Slow Food USA will launch a new Time for Lunch campaign with a series of “Eat-Ins” across the fruited plain.

Cheetos contain all four major food groups: grease, salt, food coloring, and artificial flavoring

Grist calls itself “the most recognizable voice in environmental journalism.” They might want to add “the most recognizable voice in crisis creation.” But that might be redundant.

It reports that Slow Food USA will launch a new Time for Lunch campaign with a series of “Eat-Ins” across the fruited plain.

All you need to know about this effort can be found in the names of the participating organizations – Sustainable Table, The Center for Ecoliteracy, Roots of Change, and Edible Communities among others.

What’s the goal? Exactly what you thought – to muscle Congress into doubling the federal contribution to school lunches from $1 to $2 per meal.

“Modeled on the sit-ins of the 60s,” Grist reports, “these Eat-Ins are potluck picnics to raise awareness. They are a call to action for our kids, alongside Slow Food’s signature celebration of local, sustainable, traditional food. Here’s a simple salad that’s delicious and ample enough to bring to an Eat-In near you.

Anchovy, Goat Cheese and Romaine Salad

8 cloves garlic

1 teaspoon kosher salt

40 anchovy fillets—rinsed and chopped

6 ounces red wine vinegar

1 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon black pepper

6 heads romaine lettuce—rinsed and coarsely chopped

12 ounces fresh goat cheese—crumbled

1 cup red onion—minced

Place garlic, salt, and anchovy fillets in food processor; pulse until chopped. Add red wine vinegar, and then puree. Slowly add in olive oil while motor is running. Add black pepper. Toss greens with vinaigrette. Garnish with goat cheese and red onion.

Mmmmmm. Looks like next Tuesday is Anchovy, Goat Cheese and Romaine Salad day in the cafeteria.

Can’t wait to see the kids line up for that one.

Obama 101: Get college credit for pushing the president’s socialist agenda

According to the email, OFA is launching what it calls the “National Organizing Internship” for college students around the country. From the email:

Organizing Interns work side by side with OFA staff and community leaders to help build support for President Obama’s agenda. They will learn core organizing principles that are crucial for any campaign.

America’s first media whore president now granting interviews to children

Reporter Damon Weaver sat down with President Obama at the White House on Thursday. Nothing odd about that. Except for one thing: Damon is an 11-year old sixth grader from Florida.

Reporter Damon Weaver sat down with President Obama at the White House on Thursday. Nothing odd about that. Except for one thing: Damon is an 11-year old sixth grader from Florida.

According to the Palm Beach Sun-Sentinel, “Damon has been angling for an interview with Obama since before the election. He was in Washington, D.C., for the presidential inauguration in January, and then again in June to accept a Shortie Award, in an international competition honoring student film and news productions. While there, he toured part of the West Wing of the White House and received a congratulatory letter from Biden.”

Now that Obama is wearing thin on the major TV networks, he has moved his charm offensive down the demographic ladder in an attempt to appeal to voters who won’t be able cast their ballots until he runs for his third term in 2016.

The man has never met a camera he didn’t love.

The naked truth: Teacher puts her own sexcapades on DVD for fifth graders

Kids in Crystal Defanti’s fifth grade class found a little something extra on the DVD she prepared. Yup, Mrs. Defanti screwed up (you’ll pardon he expression) and added a scene from a homemade sex video she made with her husband.

Imagine this scene. You sit down with your kids to watch a DVD review of their school year. Typical fifth grade stuff. The field trip to the museum. The school play. The teacher having sex.

Say what?

That’s right. Kids in Crystal Defanti’s fifth grade class found a little something extra on the DVD she prepared. Yup, Mrs. Defanti screwed up (you’ll pardon he expression) and added a scene from a homemade sex video she made with her husband.

President writes note for 10-year-old girl, others demand notes, too

Obama has written a note for a 10 year-old girl for her school, but what has gone unreported is the fact that President Obama figured he was on a roll and started writing excuse notes for other people

President Obama has started issuing pardons early in his administration.
President Obama has started issuing pardons early in his administration.

You’ve heard the story by now. A father took his 10-year old daughter to see President Obama speak last week. He mentioned that his daughter had ditched school to come with him and that she’d probably get in trouble. Protocol be damned. The President wrote a note to her teacher.

It read: “To Kennedy’s teacher: Please excuse Kennedy’s absence. She’s with me. Barack Obama.”

It was a touching, heartwarming story. But what has gone unreported is the fact that President Obama figured he was on a roll and started writing excuse notes for other people:

“To the American People: Please excuse Joe Biden. He’s with me. Barack Obama.”

“To all Muslims: Please excuse America for the evil things it does. I apologize. Barack Obama.”

“To my half-brother George Obama: Please excuse me for letting you live in a wretched hut in Nairobi. You’re on your own. Barack Obama.”

Can you think of any others he should write?

Britain to cut costs by reducing “unnecessary education of idiots”

In a statement that’s either refreshingly politically incorrect or remarkably blunt or maybe both, British universities have announced that they will attempt to cut costs by “culling the stupids.”

There's no way this guy could get into a British university.

In a statement that’s either refreshingly politically incorrect or remarkably blunt or maybe both, British universities have announced that they will attempt to cut costs by “culling the stupids.”

Henceforth, only the top one third of applicants will be accepted into British universities. Theoretically, those smart kids will be able to figure out that that means two thirds of students who would have been accepted into universities in the past will be rejected this year.

Perhaps the Brits should simply do as we do here in America and elevate their idiots to vice president.

High school football players meet Clarence Thomas on airplane, ask him to give graduation speech

Would a wise Latina woman have reached the same decision Clarence Thomas reached?
Would a wise Latina woman have reached the same decision Clarence Thomas reached?

High school football stars Terrence Stephens and Jason Ankrah struck up a conversation with the man sitting next to them when were flying home from a recruitment trip to the University of Nebraska.

Much to their surprise he turned out to be Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

“He was just a regular old guy, sitting in coach,” Stephens said, “which really shocked me.”

The two students came up with the idea of inviting Thomas to speak at their graduation ceremony. Carole Working, their principal, never thought a Supreme Court justice would actually show up to speak at a high school, but that’s exactly what Thomas did.

“These young men had no idea who I was as I formed my first impression. I was just another stranger to them. They were wonderful ambassadors for your school and for their fellow students,” Thomas observed at Quince Orchard High’s graduation ceremony.

The Obama administration is expected to begin impeachment proceedings against Thomas based on the fact that they believe flying coach is unconstitutional.

Students stand up to ACLU, recite Lord’s prayer at graduation

The entire 2009 graduating class at Florida’s Pace High School stood up to the ACLU by standing up to recite the Lord’s Prayer.

Naturally, the incident has been ignored by the liberal media.

When their principal asked everyone to be seated for the ceremony, nearly 400 graduating seniors remained standing and began their prayer. Parents, family and friends spontaneously joined in and then broke into applause upon its completion.

Here’s the background: The ACLU sued the school six months ago, complaining that prayers had been offered at two school-sponsored events. As the school ramped up preparations for this year’s graduation ceremony, the ACLU demanded that they refrain from saying anything religious.

This blatant attempt at censorship led the students to develop their plan in secret.

“Neither students nor teachers shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate,” noted Mathew Staver, dean of Liberty University School of Law. “The students at Pace High School refused to remain silent and were not about to be bullied by the ACLU.

We’re here! We’re queer! We’re in kindergarten?

"The New Girl" introduces kindergarten children to the concept of homosexuality.
"The New Girl" introduces kindergarten children to the concept of homosexuality.

Brace yourself, Buckeroo. The Alameda County Board of Education has approved a mandatory gay education program for children from kindergarten through fifth grade.

The program is officially titled “LGBT Lesson #9. It’s probably unnecessary to mention that the school district is in California.

Beginning next year, Alameda’s innocent tykes will begin learning about “tolerance” for the gay lifestyle. Unbelievably, parents cannot opt out of lessons. Not even if the program violates their religious beliefs.

“We are not telling anyone what to think,” school district trustee Tracy Jensen said with a completely straight face. “We are letting children know that gay people exist and they deserve to be treated with respect, regardless of whether or not you believe that homosexuality is acceptable.”

"Tango Makes Three," the perfect book to educate second graders about two daddies.
"Tango Makes Three," the perfect book to educate second graders about two daddies.

“Five year old kids aren’t ready to think on their own about sexuality, and their families’ values will be dismissed,” Karen England criticized. “That’s not an education in critical thinking. It’s social activism.”

Kindergarten kids will be read a book called “The New Girl…And Me.” It’s about a new girl who makes friends with another girl.

First graders will read a book called “Who Is In A Family?” which explores alternate types of families. “Robin’s family,” the book says “is made up of her dad, Clifford, her dad’s partner, Henry, and Robin’s cat, Sassy.”

Second graders will tackle “And Tango Makes Three,” a book about two gay penguins that raise  a chick named Tango. The kids will learn that Roy and Silo are “a little bit different” and that “Tango was the very first penguin in the zoo to have two daddies.”

Third graders will watch a film called “That’s a Family,” featuring some homosexual couples and some token traditional families.

We’re not sure what year the student will learn about Republicans lynching gay black men in the White House Rose Garden, but we wouldn’t be surprised if that’s part of the curriculum, too. Or soon will be.

UC Santa Cruz students launch hunger strike, battle the munchies

Mollycoddled college students stressed and depressed. Welcome to the real world, kids.

Think you're depressed now? Wait 'til next year when you don't get the whole summer off.
Think you're depressed now? Wait 'til next year when you don't get the whole summer off.

According to an Associated Press-mtvU poll 85% of college students surveyed report feeling stress recently.

The little darlings are worried about grades, school work, money and relationships. 42% said they had felt down, depressed or hopeless several days during the past two weeks. 13% showed signs of being at risk for mild depression or worse.

No friggin’ wonder, cupcake. You’ve been babied since the day you were born and told that you were special. You learned to play soccer without keeping score because losing might damage your delicate psyche. Your grades were inflated because…well…we don’t even know why grades were inflated. Your teachers took classes to learn how to build your self-esteem up bigger than Barry Bonds biceps even when you didn’t deserve it. And you actually thought Barack Obama would fill the world with sweetness and light.

Hah. Let us just say, welcome to the real world.

Of course, you’re depressed. The real world is filled with real pressure. Mommy and daddy aren’t going to pay your bills anymore. Your new boss won’t say “I’m giving you an A because you tried hard.” No. He’s more likely to say, “Turn in a piece of crap like this again and your ass will be on the street.”

Get over yourselves. Shut the hell up. Get a job. Work your ass off like the rest of us.

Sometimes you’ll win. Sometimes you’ll lose. But if you work hard you’ll discover that hard work is its own reward. So get to work.

One more thing: In the real world, they keep score.

Outrageous California school district wants to battle “homophobia” in kindergarten

Dangerous little homophobes like this must be re-educated (photo credit: phineas h)

Back when we were in kindergarten our biggest concern was learning our ABCs. Apparently, the kids in Alameda, California have bigger (and stranger) things to worry about.

California’s Alameda Unified School District may institute a supplemental curriculum aimed at eradicating “homophobia” in kindergarten kids.

Let’s just pause for a moment while you digest that concept.

OK?

“Nowhere at anytime did it give any protection for children being bullied because of their faith, their religion, their size, their race, ethnicity,” said Brad Dacus, founder of the Pacific Justice Institute. “It is only going to give this special anti-bullying protection for homosexuals and transsexuals.”

Federal judge rules that Christian-bashing teacher violated First Amendment

A Federal judge has ruled that an Orange County high school teacher violated the First Amendment by disparaging Christians during a classroom lecture.

Here’s how the Orange County Register explains it:

James Corbett, a 20-year teacher at Capistrano Valley High School, referred to Creationism as “religious, superstitious nonsense” during a 2007 classroom lecture, denigrating his former Advanced Placement European history student, Chad Farnan.

The decision is the culmination of a 16-month legal battle between Corbett and Farnan – a conflict the judge said should remind teachers of their legal “boundaries” as public school employees.

“Corbett states an unequivocal belief that Creationism is ‘superstitious nonsense,'” U.S. District Court Judge James Selna said in a 37-page ruling released from his Santa Ana courtroom. “The court cannot discern a legitimate secular purpose in this statement, even when considered in context.”

In a December 2007 lawsuit, Farnan, then a sophomore, accused Corbett of repeatedly promoting hostility toward Christians in class and advocating “irreligion over religion” in violation of the First Amendment’s establishment clause.

We favor prayer in school. Lord knows we frequently needed divine intervention to get through high school.

Purdue University muslims to woman against Sharia: “You have no right to speak”

Few dare to speak out against Sharia Law, and fewer still get the chance to do so in our one-sided, speech-coded, liberal halls of academia. When they do, they are treated with disrespect by both the school administration and students. And it would not be a stretch to say that they take their lives in their hands, delivering a message that the biased or blind media is unwilling to give.

One such person is Nonie Darwish, a woman who lived under Sharia for 47 years. On April 9, 2009, she gave a speech at Purdue University on the threat of Sharia Law. Some Muslims in attendance helped Darwish make her point, by shouting that she had no right to speak, and questioning how much her jewelry cost. School and security officials, did nothing to quiet the crowd. Although, as you will see in this video, they did plenty to quiet the speaker’s sponsor, the Conservative Coalition for American Values, outside before the event.

If she had attempted to give this speech in an Islamic country, she’d be buried neck deep and stoned to death. If she’d given it in many countries in Europe, she possibly be arrested for hate speech. So far, here in America, she only gets the treatment you see in the video. So far, we say, if our media –a nd organizations pretending to stand up for women, like NOW — does not begin reporting stories like this.

And then she’ll give everyone in the audience a car and call it even.

Alec Baldwin calls Rush Limbaugh “uneducated, marginally talented, overbearing”

Alec Baldwin
Former leading man Alec Baldwin stopped berating his teenage daughter long enough to berate Rush Limbaugh. Photo: Wikipedia

When Alec Baldwin’s leading man career went down the tubes, he turned to television comedy with some success. Now he’s turned to writing political satire. At least we think it was satire.

How else can you explain the article Baldwin wrote the Huffington Post titled, “Hoping the GOP Gets Its Act Together” in which he says, “Rush Limbaugh is an uneducated, marginally talented, overbearing, recovering drug addict who was, at least according to Wikipedia, ineligible for the draft because he had cysts on his ass.”

This from a man with anger control issues who has been accused of physically abusing his wife and psychologically abusing his teenage daughter.

But those accusations pale in comparison to the most damning fact about Alec Baldwin: He appeared in 39 episodes of Knott’s Landing and isn’t ashamed to say so.

Note: Make sure you read the entire article for more insight into Republicans, like what he says about “hypocritical evangelicals who are too lazy to raise their own children properly…”
