The Messiah's Propaganda Speech to School Children

In case you haven't heard, President Obama gave a controversial speech today.

Don't bother reading it... the edited version from his socialized propaganda speech are:

Responsibility - "But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed."

Importance of education - "And no matter what you want to do with your life — I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You can't drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You've got to work for it and train for it and learn for it."



Socio/Economic backgrounds are no excuse - "I get it. I know what that's like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us things the other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didn't fit in."

Challenges can be overcome - "I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three. He's endured all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer — hundreds of extra hours — to do his schoolwork. But he never fell behind, and he's headed to college this fall."

THERE'S NO SUBSTITUTION FOR HARD WORK - "I know that sometimes, you get the sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work — that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you're not going to be any of those things. But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won't love every subject you study. You won't click with every teacher. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right this minute. And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try."

How dare he reiterate the same points I tell my daughter? He's trying to brainwash our kids into believing that an education is really important! Why on earth would Laura Bush, Nancy Reagan, and Newt Gingrich say this speech is important? We really need to kick them all out of the party NOW! I am so glad thousands of parents and schools decided not to show this circus of a speech in the classrooms. If you can't tell, the comments above are sarcasm.

Here are the lessons that were really taught by parents/bloggers/media this past week:

• When someone with authority speaks, it's okay NOT to listen (in other words, disrespect is appropriate when you completely disagree)
• It's okay to use children as pawns in politics (like a fighting couple going through divorce)
• "Opposing viewpoints" (which in this case, it turned out not to be so different) are awful and opening up your ears/mind to them are never a good thing (don't ever change your point of view).

It's these little STUPID disagreements that caused the GOP to lose this last election and if the GOP continues to make mountains out of molehill issues, they will not regain power in 2012. KEEP THE FOCUS ON REAL ISSUES (health care, immigration, foreign policy, gun rights and abortion) and not on piddly, trivial ones.

He's the president. I really wish people would respect the seat. For the record, I'm not just criticizing the Republican party. Some of this is their backlash and response to those who didn't respect the office of the presidency during Republican years. When people disagree, complain, and are boisterous during townhall meetings, remember this: They are exercising the same free speech exhibited just ONE YEAR AGO... and as my grandmother used to say, "What's good for the goose, is good for the gander."

Some of you didn't respect the seat when it was held by GW Bush. You wished for his death. You wish the Iraqi journalist would have hit him with the shoe. You called him everything from a drunk to an idiot. So, as Jeremiah Wright would say, "Maybe your chickens have come home to roost."
