Ted, I've said many times that if our military was alowed to fight the muslim war as they had done in past wars, it would have been over YEARS ago!

If that slander doesn't take hold, Here's 10 More Vicious Rumors they could start. Like a rumor that Glenn Beck drove a woman off a bridge and left her to die. Or that Glenn Beck's career was launched by avowed anti-American terrorists. Or, that his gay lover ran a prostitution ring out of his condo. You know, horrible rumors that would lead to outrage and the end of his career -- if not criminal prosecution -- if they were true.

Tomorrow's address to future voters has been posted at the www.ed.gov website if anyone is interested in reading the transcript. I don't think we need to worry about our kids being brainwashed, they're likely to fall asleep halfway through like I did while reading.
I see one glaring problem for the liberals though, he closes with "God Bless You and God Bless America". He must be saying it to appease conservatives, although it may cause liberals to screech that he is indoctrinating them with his God talk.

ACLU sides with terrorists yet again: Demands that Osama bin Laden's propagandist be released from prison on first amenment grounds.
ACLU logic: Making propaganda films for al Qaeda - GOOD.
Distributing instructions on raping and murdering children - GOOD.
Prayer in school - EVIL.

Here's the speech of Obama that people protest: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/09/07/obama-speech-to-school-children-you-make-your-own-future/#more-67627
Don't feel too indoctrinated.

Well, excuse me, but I have a suspicion, sure it's nothing substantial, but just a strong hunch, that the focus of the speech has shifted significantly between its inception and the realization that there was an objection. Besides which, I just don't trust this guy, and don't think he's the one that needs to be boring into our childrens' minds. I seriously consider him to be a domestic enemy of the Constitution, so the less influence he's allowed to have, the better. But that's just me, or is it?

Glenn Beck Boycott Lessons Not Learned
The lesson being learned by the left-wing blogosphere from the sputtering Glenn Beck boycott and the Van Jones Affair is not that political arguments should be won on the merits, and in the hearts and minds of the public.
No, the lesson being learned is that Democrats and the nutroots do not fight hard enough to smear Republicans, conservatives, and Blue Dog Democrats. As in the kid-glove treatment of Sarah Palin and her family.
So a Crooks and Liars blogger wants to up the ante. Boycotting Glenn Beck is not enough because it is not working at depriving Fox News of any revenue. A boycott of Fox News is needed:

Democratic Congressman: This Is My Meeting, My Rules
Just saw this on Fox.
Meet Congressman Baron Hill (DEMOCRAT, IN). He's more important than you. Just ask him. No wait, you don't have to, he'll tell you.
I love how he makes it sound as if an elected official offering his constituents an opportunity to be in the same room as him is a gift. And this woman doesn't appreciate it? What an ill bred fool she is!
All I can say Baron (how great a name is that for him?) is, arrogant and stupid is no way to go through life punk.
More:
This is apparently from a few weeks ago but is just starting to get national attention. It's a nice cap on the August of Democrats discontent.

Guess What? Lefties Are Mischaracterizing Reagan's Speech To School Kids In 1988
One of the left's lines of defense of Obama has been that Reagan gave a speech to kids and he even talked about political issues!
The Village Voice (I know but stick with me) defends Obama by digging up a Reagan speech to school kids.
Problem is, all the stuff the Voice quotes as being political was in the Q and A, not the speech itself. Now, if Obama got asked questions like this we would charge him with planting them but I have no idea what kind of advance work was done by Reagan's people.
Still, what was he supposed to do? Not answer the questions?
Take a look at the actual speech which the Voice links to (I guess they figure none of their readers would follow through and check for themselves), it's pure Reagan, a love letter to America.

Narcissist in Chief's school speech released
* 56 iterations of “I”
* 19 iterations of “school”
* 10 iterations of “education”
* 8 iterations of “responsibility”
* 7 iterations of “country”
* 5 iterations each of “parents”, “teachers”
* 3 iterations of “nation”
In other words, Barack Obama referenced himself more than school, education, responsibility, country/nation, parents, and teachers combined.

How telling that the study mega mentions doesn't test a single non-caucasian family for racial biases.
Hey, let's do a study to find how many people are wife beaters, child molesters and dog kickers... But only include Southern Baptists in the survey.
POLL FINDS (SOME) SOUTHERN BAPTISTS ARE WIFE BEATING, CHILD MOLESTING DOG KICKERS

the LA times just discovered that when you poll anyone other than blacks, the surprising result is that it turns out that Americans pretty much can't effing stand Obama.

Burning, I especially like the part where through painstaking research, it turns out that itsy bitsy little children start dividing the world into categories all on their own, divide people into different groups based on how they look, prefer to hang with their own kind, and identify strongly with their own in-group. A reasonable-thinking person might say, hmm, well, that's human nature, so now that it's been demonstrated conclusively through good research, the question becomes how do you channel our inherent programming in a way that keeps things fair, just and safe for people. But somehow they get to the opposite conclusion: we need to berate, scold, implore and generally bore to tears our young'ins by talking about race. We have to make them focus on race, race, race, starting at age 3. we have to make little kids confront their own neural design. Yep, they did the research, they found the underlying truth of categorization including skin color as part of human nature, and they proceeded to learn nothing from it.

BREAKING: Panic in D.C.? Justice urges birth suit tossed
The U.S. Justice Department is urging a federal judge in California to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the constitutional eligibility of Barack Obama to hold the office of president.
If this goes forward and it’s proved B.O. is a usurper then expect a civil war.

Czar Watch: Van Jones, John Holdren, Cass Sunstein
With President Obama surrounding himself with at least 32 czars, (at last count), those public servants immune from public and congressional scrutiny, he has set a new record.
In actuality, these czars who revel in an absolutist authority and power are not public servants as much as they are dedicated Obama servants answerable only to their master.
As Obama might say, Allah only knows how much they are costing the taxpayers of our cash-strapped nation!
The most recent czar in the news, a sputtered, dethroned czar, Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Van Jones, recently resigned in the middle of the night.
The timing of that “green czar’s” departure was fitting considering that this neo-conservationist’s brief tenure in that lofty position was as clandestine as was his background in such roles as racial agitator, admitted Communist, and 9/11 conspiratorialist.
Jones was toppled not because of those items on his resume’ but only because he shot his mouth off when stuck for something to say when he had no clue what to say.
He reverted to form and called all Republicans a**holes which got some of those a**holes to delve into his record: http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1205.
So, Jonesy is gone, but not really. He’s still on the government payroll, advising the president, just absent his title.
Remember, when you get rid of a roach you can be certain that many more roaches are hidden away and will re-emerge when darkness falls. Some squished roaches, (think Van Jones), are even capable of phoenix-like revivification.
Yet-to-be-squished-czar-vermin include John P. Holdren and Cass Sunstein.
Holdren, Director of Obama’s White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, also holds the unofficial title of the Josef Mengele of Obama’s staff. . . .

mega, your article above from the LA Times says a curious thing. They say, that if the Healthcare bill is passed this fall, Obama will see a lovely uptick in his numbers. I wonder by what logic they come to that conclusion? Dingbats.
