A few weeks ago, when news broke that Obama was going to give a speech to school children during school hours, many parents were rightly concerned that this amounted to little more than an attempt to indoctrinate our kids. I seem to remember many on the left attacking this view and laughing at our concerns. For those people, I ask them to explain THIS video, which took place at a elementary school in New Jersey, and seems to show the exact thing happening with kids that many of us are afraid could soon be happening everywhere...
The audio can be a little hard to understand, so here is the lyrics of what the kids are being taught to say, as reported by Fox News.
Song 1:
Mm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said that all must lend a hand
To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
Yes!
Mmm, mmm, mm
Barack Hussein Obama
Song 2:
Hello, Mr. President we honor you today!
For all your great accomplishments, we all doth say "hooray!"
Hooray, Mr. President! You're number one!
The first black American to lead this great nation!
Hooray, Mr. President we honor your great plans
To make this country's economy number one again!
Hooray Mr. President, we're really proud of you!
And we stand for all Americans under the great Red, White, and Blue!
So continue ---- Mr. President we know you'll do the trick
So here's a hearty hip-hooray ----
Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!

What HOPE really is!
The possibility of this alone is almost enough to make me start chanting "Yes We Can!" if it would help bring it to pass...

Mainstream media Biased? Of course not!
I am sure many have seen this this video already, but if not, it really should be watched. It is the most blatant example I have seen in a long time of the lengths the mainstream media (and especially NBC) will go to put their own unique 'spin' on the news...

Finally a Republican with guts!
Joe Wilson, congressman from South Carolina immediately became my latest hero the other night after speaking the truth and yelling 'You Lie' during Obama's address to a joint session of congress. In my opinion, his ONLY mistake was to ever have apologized for this...
While watching the democrats demand apology after apology from representative Wilson has certainly been expected, and humorous, the fact that some members, notably Senator John McCain, who is purportedly from our side, have joined these calls is simply infuriating. McCain was even praised for this action by this liberal blog.
Perhaps it is time that WE demand an apology from John McCain for working to destroy the Republican party and the Conservative values it once stood for. McCain and other 'republicans' of his ilk are LARGELY to blame for the situation we have now, with a socialist in the white house, and our freedoms at stake.
The Republican party needs more true leaders like Joe Wilson, who are not afraid to speak the truth, and can be counted on to defend the constitution, instead of people like Senator McCain, who can only be counted on to stab fellow Republicans in the back and give the democrats everything they ask for.
If you feel as I do, I would recommend considering making a contribution to Representative Wilson's re-election campaign. He definitely could use all the help he can get now that he has made himself such a target of the left...

Green Innovation?
I was reading this article, which describes how scientists have designed a plant filtration system that will allow us to recycle water by actually drinking our own shower water. Sounds wonderful...
It seems to me this invention has a fatal flaw, however....Don't they realize that the kind of people that would be most likely to actually install and use something like this are the very same people who rarely shower?
Then again, it may be just a matter of time before the Obama administration mandates this for all new homes....

True Patriotism
My father in law, John Tanner, passed away on July 27th. A difficult time to be sure, especially for my wife and her family.
I knew he had served in Vietnam, and had witnessed first hand the shameful treatment many soldiers received upon their return. I knew him to be passionate about our country, and the state of things today. What I did not know is this man privately wrote poetry, and that a poem he wrote long ago that was read aloud at his funeral would expose me to a level of patriotism rarely seen or expressed today.
Here is the poem:
Dearly beloved, Red White and Blue
We went to fight, some died for you
With Love and Respect
We always stayed true
And never one time
Turned our back on you
We've watched you with pride
Through tears in our eyes
While some people cursed you
We stood by your side
Those who disgraced you
and spat in your face
Were welcomed back home
With a warm embrace
But those who loved you
Enough to die
Received no welcome
Please tell me why
We've searched for answers
We've really tried
We keep our feelings all inside
Were we wrong to use our guns?
Are we your bastards or your sons?
Please don't take my questions wrong
Cause I will love you
My whole life long
This is my country
Where I was given birth
Your still the greatest flag on earth
How many today could witness the horrors that this man surely did in war, receive the shameful treatment he did from his fellow citizens upon his return, and still feel the need to express such strong, heartfelt feelings for their country? I daresay, not very many...
Sadly, this level of love for ones country cannot be taught, I am convinced it must be inspired. Unfortunately many of our leaders who should be 'role models' and inspiration for our children in this area almost seem to hold our country and its values in contempt...
This is why men such as John Tanner should be held up as role models, especially while some are still here, and their sacrifices finally acknowledged.
Better late than never...

Tide starting to turn?
I have not had much time the past few weeks to devote to this blog, but I have been watching with interest as the polls slowly reflect what I hope is the American people finally waking up to the Obama reality.
The question remains, how could so many have fell for this man in the first place? This is a troubling question, to be sure. I myself, up until the very last minute, was convinced that the American people could not possibly elect such an obvious socialist.
While many may simply have not recognized his socialist tendencies, or simply chose to ignore the warning signs, putting more stock instead into his flowery rhetoric, perhaps the election results can at least be partly explained by what I see as an American tendency to always see the best in people, and our inherent optimism about our future, no matter who is in the White House. After all, we have never had a President so intent on completely changing every aspect of our way of life, and before Obama, it was hard to imagine we ever would....
Now, not even 8 months in, we have witnessed the nationalization of two American car companies, along with many banks. We have a ridiculous 'cap and trade' bill that if enacted, could more than double our utility bills. Finally, with the full bore attempt to destroy our health care system, it appears many Americans are finally saying 'enough!'
Obama has been so used to having things his way, it will be interesting (and somewhat scary, as his 'snitch on your neighbors' website has already proved), to see how he reacts....
