My bad on the date this was done everyone. Wasn't intentional but I realize I took the date the guy that posted it joined and not when it was posted. My mistake and I admit it. The parents were told in advance of this, allowed to read it and give their consent. Even I am not real good with that but is it any different than a kid hearing how much his mom or dad HATES Obama everyday at home? Twist it how you want but kids pick up a lot at home. Anyone care to refute that? The kids across the street have a great affinity for uttering profanities. I wonder why? Might be because I hear it from the parents on a regular basis The school that did this was observing Black History month from what I understand and actually I have a problem with that as well. Why not Native American history month or Caucasion History month? Know what else? The principle of that school has received death threats because of that song. I'm sure the people issuing the threats are great role models if they have children. It only makes sense. You don't like something someone says then threaten to kill them. ....and we're worried about a song?
So in your original thread, post #8 and post #24 arent about the speech? Not the crap ''surrounding the speech'', but the speech itself.......................................

David Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Posts: 1,107 ''I would love to have seen a copy of the draft of his original speech...you know the one he would have given before all the public outcry.'' This is you isnt it? And these comments were made about the speech werent they?
Ha! At least I have the fortitude to say it. not like you, who will just ignore it and hope everyone forgets about it. Or deny you ever said it. I can see now why Midas and you are two of a kind.
I can think of other great leaders that simply started with a song in school for the innocent children. You cliff jumpers will be the first top go, you are the non thinkers. You only think you think.
Fair enough Jack but mind if I ask what I did earlier inthis thread? Do children hear anything that might shape their opinions at home? Some kids sing a song at school that is, as far as I know, not in the top 10. Parents may be lefty as hell that's why they said ok. Far as I know it's not replacing the Pledge of Allegiance. Am I good so far? Winds up on Youtube so the right can attack it and spread panic about it. Principal of the school receiving death threats. Perhaps this should all be shared with the children as well. You know a reality check as to what AsH hole$$ grown ups can be. HEY KIDS! You're parents made a decision, you're in the middle, and now people are threatening to kill the Prinicipal! Is this happening in schools nationwide and if so why aren't we hearing about it? Hell why did it take so long to hear about this? Seems the Koolaide drinking, cliff jumping right is buying into it pretty heavily. What's with the "cliff jumpers" anyway? Is it the newest catch phrase from some radio personality? Amazing that I hear all of these phrases while those that use them so often can't look in a mirror and see they are what they call other people but from a different point of view. May have to start a thread about that some day.
You are confusing issues here, now aren't you? What is wrong with simple curiosity? I think it's normal to be a tad bit curious to know what someone is going to say when they address your kids, don't you? Re-read every other post I made concerning this subject. Did I stutter? From the beginning I said my problem was with the curiculum (read: indictrination) that Obama wanted THE SCHOOLS to administer after he made the speech. Obama, or at least his handlers, are a bit too cunning to be overly overt in the indoctrination process...no, they want it in the schools so that the masses will confuse it with everyday school activities. See, if you will be honest with yourself, you will see how trully incideious this is. It is so subtle that several of you guys dont (or won't) even see it.
I would hazard to say that if any other president, politician, public figure, etc had this going on everyone here would be up in arms. It simply proves that Obama's myth & cult of personality transcends common sense, any that's scary. You know, I've said it before....study the guy as he relates to our countries history, celebrate his accomplishments (when one actually occurs), respect the office, whatever, but don't blindly worship the guy.
Uhhhh...maybe they didn't want it to get out? Maybe they tried to cover it up as long as they could? Maybe they knew how the public would perceive it? By the way, just caught the tail end of this but someone may have heard the whole story- apparently the teacher responsible for this resigned before it made the national news. Like I said, I didn't hear the entire story but it was a local reporter who was being interviewed.
Simply amazing how those on the left can not fathom how anyone could possibly have their own set of values & beliefs. Does everything you believe really have to come from what someone else writes on the internet or reads on tv?
I would imagine just as much as yours do David after all were exactly did you get this story from? You continualy attack people for using the web as a source of info yet it is ok for you to do so?? And I am still waiting for you to show me the Anti American comments I make all the time?? or are you not able to find any?
Ok Ok So now you were just curious and not concerned what was in the speech. Talk about splitting hairs. No you dont stutter. You just keep changing what you said. Is it in the schools? Is it a requirement to sing that dumb ass song? But you can see right through them(Obamites), huh? The two comments I posted that you made were about the speech, right? Not about the curiculum, right? The one in which you said you'd love to see the first draft; that was just curiousity and not concern, right? I dont think its being sung in every school across the country. Or even across town. Are any school kids you know required to sing the song? Do you think that Obama is behinf the song? That he wrote it and put music to it and said, ''Get this out to the schools. I want to be praised before Chritmas.''?
She didnt resign. She retired in June. I know. Resign, Retired. Whats the difference? The same as concern and curious
HAHAHAHA! LMAO! This statement explains a lot. This is why nobody can get through to you about anything. This is so easy. You're not even trying to think about this one. The world is just so easy and so cut and dried to you. There could never be any meaning behind anything. For one, I never blamed Obama for my video. That wasn't the intent. The intent was to show how disturbing some of these people have gotten. I've never seen a candidate besides Ron Paul who I would even get a *little bit excited about*. Let alone set up my house with political propaganda over and teach children songs about them!!! This is disturbing to say the least. The guy in my video says it was done in a neighbors house. Granted, it's a free country. But don't you see the so-called "injured party" is these children's minds!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! HELLO!!!!! I don't care if the adults choose to worship him. They're lost idiots. But to push any presidential candidate on kids like this is just plain wrong IMO. They're being taught to BLINDLY follow a political leader they know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about. If they were truly informed, every person in the room would be embarrassed and looking to make a quick exit! Obama deserves no praise. He is your average, stereotypical, radical left leaning, lying, politician. Only more dangerous in the way he's able to convince his followers. Some of you guys REALLY need to wake up!!
It is the job of the parents to raise the children. The parents ok'ed this singing activity, do you suggest that the right-wing thought control police prevent parents from letting their kids sing a song of their choice. Why do you want a right-wing government to take over raising these kids. I say that the parents have the final say in raising their kids, you say some weird right-wing anti-singing police do.
I coined the phrase here Clembo, Cliffjumpers, those who would follow BO off a cliff. Just so you know, you and DanR are appearing to not be cliffjumpers . At one time, I thought you both were. I have changed ALOT of my thinking recently..... The more you guys see and question, the better it gets, at least we are breaking thru. You are getting new news sources, and your seeing what has been hidden from you all along. I meant that for the masses, mainly....and those here who argue just to argue. Back to topic, Fox is going to air a video this evening of a group actually praying to Obama, ( so I hear ). There is also new video of 3rd graders sing to the tune of " Battle Hymn Republic " but with changed words expressing great things about , guess who.....thats right, BO.
Thanks for clearing that up Jack and I believe you are smart enough to know WHY I asked the question in the first place. For those that don't I'll explain. I get a good dose of right wing/conservative radio at work. If we're not real busy I can acually listen and do. It's at these times that I hear the same phrases uttered on forums on national radio. I doubt that these shows get their "phrases" from here. More likely the other way around. For the record I realize this works both ways.
