Indoctrination of Children

The below is from a Wikipedia article on Soviet Propaganda:

We must make the young into a generation of Communists. Children, like soft wax, are very malleable and they should be molded into good Communists... We must rescue children from the harmful influence of the family... We must nationalize them. From the earliest days of their little lives, they must find themselves under the beneficial influence of Communist schools... To oblige the mother to give her child to the Soviet state - that is our task."

Is this what the Left is doing to children in schools? I am not talking about turning them into Commies but maybe socialists? I mean substitute Communist with Socialists you don't get much difference.

On Glenn Beck's show and then on The O'Reilly Factor I seen a video of a teacher having her kindergarten class sing the "Mmmm, mmm" song. They would praises Obama and then go "Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm." If they would have added "good" at the end of the "mmmm" part they would have the Campbell's soup song. Exactly what does this song have to do with any kind of learning? The Left say this is cute and there is nothing wrong with what the teacher did. I wonder if they would have said that if instead of Obama the students were singing the praises of Bush. Probably not. No teacher should be having their students sing the praises of any president. Discuss their presidency yes, but not make up a song to them.

Then I seen a video of a Leftist "teaching" kids about how the gov't works. The Leftist said it is the responsibility of gov't to take care of its citizens. She wasn't talking about from military attacks. She was talking about the gov't being the parent, and the citizens being the child. She did not use the terms "parent" and "child" but I am sure that is what she meant. Then this person said pillow manufacturers put a neural-toxin in pillows and the gov't puts over 50% of the federal budget in the military. Both facts are wrong. By the way this video was funded by the far-left Tides Foundation.

One last example. I was the local news some months back and they showed a school teacher having her grade school kids march around carry signs saying "Health Insurance for Kids." The newscaster thought this was cute, but it made me nauseous. Exactly how is this educational? That is pure indoctrination. Those kids just wanted to take a field trip.

Nowadays if I was a parent I would be weary what the schools are teaching my kids. It might not be what you want them to be taught.

Thoughts on Universal Health Care

1. If America has Obama Care will the Hippocratic oath still apply? I mean doctors will no longer be working for themselves but the state so will the gov't change the oath or no longer use it?

2. Under Obama Care will the doctor-patient confidentiality contract still apply? Or will gov't be included in that contract. After all gov't will be approving/denying all the drug prescriptions and medical procedures a person has.

3. You can sue the gov't under the Federal Tort Claims Act. Under this act the gov't agency that is sued has six months to respond. You might want to think about that if America has universal health care.

4. Under Obama Care there is no second opinion. The only opinion that counts is the government's opinion.

Reasonable Questions for Unreasonable Times Part 4

• Why do we need a civilian force? We don't need one.

• Who is posing a threat to us? The jihadists but no-one domestically as bad as they are. Yes, there are radicals who want to change the structure of America. But that is what democracy is about. You can vote out the bums.

• Who will this "force" be made up of? According to a Wikipedia article it will contain middle school students, high school students, & college students. He will also create various corps like Americorps and the Peace Corps.

• Who is the real enemy? Anyone who disagrees with his policy.

• Does the president know of a coming event? If not, who builds an army against an unrecognized enemy? I don't know. As for the second question no-one who is sane.

• Why won't the media get off their butts and look into these radicals in the White House? And into this civilian army? Because they adore the president still and don't see a story. Also they're philosophy is too much aligned with the White House. You aren't critical with your friends as much as your enemies.

Reasonable Questions for Unreasonable Times Part 3

1. Why does the FCC have a diversity "czar"? So there can be affirmative action in radio stations & TV stations.

2. Who is Mark Lloyd and how does he plan to "balance" the airwaves? He is the FCC diversity "czar." By restoring local and national caps on the ownership of commercial radio stations, ensuring greater local accountability over radio licensing, and requiring commercial owners who fail to abide by enforceable public interest obligations to pay a fee to support public broadcasting according to a Newsbusters.org blog.

3. Will he bring back the Fairness Doctrine or worse? Worse. The FCC would rescind any stations' broadcast licenses that would violate this thug's czar's rules.

4. Cass Sunstein once said he wants to balance the Internet; is that next? Could be. Sunstein calls for popular or partisan websites to be forced to carry links to opposing viewpoints according to a Techliberation.com article.

5. Will broadcasters who leave the airwaves be allowed to go to satellite or Internet without government regulation? Good question, probably not. If broadcasters go to the Internet then they we be bound by Sustein's rules. If they regulate private websites then could then presumably regulate satellite providers.

6. Is there any place (that has a mass audience) where the government won't regulate free speech? In a church. But even that is regulated. If a minister endorses a political candidate or expresses political views then the church may lose its non-profit status. Also, university professors and motivational speakers may not be regulated.

7. Why does it seem every member of the Obama advisory team hates capitalism, unless those companies (like G.E.) are in bed with the administration? Because Obama's team are radical leftists and they don't hate companies who share the same philosophy as they have or companies that want gov't assistance.

8. If Lloyd has his way, stations who don't comply to the governments definition of the "public interest" will have to pay a massive fine --- that helps support public broadcasting:

   What will be the definition of "public interest"? It's whatever the gov't defines it to be.

9. Why should it be balanced? Because it's public airwaves? (Well, there are public roads that go by my house and I don't count how many Republicans and Democrats are driving on them) Funny. Or counting how many Republicans and Dems who walk on the sidewalks. The airwaves don't have to be balanced. If you don't like what you hear or see turn the medium off or switch to another station.

Reasonable Questions for Unreasonable Times Part 2

• Who is "surrounding" the President in the White House? Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel who was on the board of Freddie Mac while they misreported their net income in 2000 by 30.5%. He was the one that made the comment, "A crisis is a terrible thing to waste; they are opportunities to do big things." When asked about the Town Halls this is what senior advisor Valerie Jarret said at a question-and-answer session:

  They are trying to scare people, elderly people, and I am ticked. It's what we are fighting against, but they underestimate the American people. and media is not focusing on the productive debates we are having, it's not just raucous. we need retail help from you all.

  The "you" she is talking about is far left groups.

• Do any of the President's advisers have criminal records? If you mean senior staff, no. Van Jones, the Green Czar was arrested twice.

• Are the President's advisers working to better the country or their own ideals? Better their own ideals. Unless you think making the country into a socialistic state is a good idea.

• Who are the anti-capitalists in Washington? According to US Chamber of Commerce these are some House members that got low scores: Nancy Pelosi (26), Henry Waxman (26), Maxine Walters (21), Jessie Jackson, Jr. (28), Steny Hoyer (32), Barney Frank (25), The number in parens is the average score. Some Senate member with low scores: Chris Dodd (32), Dick Durbin (34), Tom Harkin (37), John Kerry (38), Harry Reid (37), Charles Schumer (36), Harry Reed (36), Robert Byrd (32). If you noticed everyone I named is a Democrat. I did not deliberately look for Dems. I was just looking for names I recognize, then the score. Also, Obama got an average score of 32. Biden's average score was 36. Hillary Clinton's score was 46. These scores were when they were senators.

• What roles do they have in crafting bills? Congress always has a role in crafting bills. Obama and Biden has influence too.

• What was "STORM"? What happened to the founders, where are they now? STORM stood for Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement. It was a communist revolutionary organization founded by now Green Czar Van Jones.

• What qualifications must one have to be a Presidential adviser? Trustworthy, knowledgeable in his/ her field, & pro-American.

• What is the difference between a community organizer and a community activist? A community activist takes on community issues. A community organizer organizes communities for social causes. A community activist can be a community organizer too to accomplish his/her goals.

• Do the czars have power? Yes, too much power.

• Should a communist have the ear of the President of the United States? No, because they are anti-democracy and anti-capitalistic.

• What role did the Apollo Alliance play in crafting bills? The group claims it influenced the "stimulus" package. It is an alliance of business, labor and environmental groups. Those groups have lobbyists. It is not too far fetched to think the Apollo Alliance has lobbyists too.

• Does the President know the co-founder of the Weather Underground is a board member of the Apollo Alliance? I think he might be talking about Jeff Jones. Jones is a director of the New York State Apollo Alliance. He might know about him.

• How many people in the administration are connected to the movement for a democratic society? Van Jones.

• What role does George Soros play... CONSTITUTIONALLY? None whatsover.

Reasonable Questions for Unreasonable Times Part 1b

• Did President Obama know of Van Jones’ radical political beliefs when he named him special advisor? Don't know. If Obama didn't know he should have known. Then again if he did know and was alright with Van Jones' beliefs that tells a lot about Obama's beliefs. Obama said in so many words, judge me on the people I surround myself with.

• The Apollo Alliance claimed credit for writing the stimulus bill—why was this group allowed to write any portion of this bill? Because they have connections to Congress. Two of the founders are Democrat congressmen. Basically this group is an alliance of big business, labor unions, and environmental groups.

• If politicians aren’t writing the bills and aren’t reading the bills, do they have any idea what these 1000 page plus bills actually impose on the American people? No, and if they did know they don't care.

• If the ‘public option’ health care plan is so good why won’t politicians agree to have that as their plan? Because they know it isn't good and politicians always look out for their best interests.

• If town hall meetings are intended for the politicians to learn what’s on our minds—why do they spend so much time talking instead of listening? Because they don't want to learn what's on our minds. They want the town hall participants to shut-up and not ask any questions. Just absorb and agree with what they are saying.

• Politicians are refusing to attend town hall meetings complaining, without evidence, that they are scripted. Does that mean we shouldn’t come out and vote for you since every campaign stop, baby kiss and speech you give is scripted? Good one Glenn. He has a point. I mean they are accusing the town hall participants of doing what they do most of the time.

• Why would you want to overwhelm the system? To create a chaos and fear in the American people. Then you try to convince them that gov't intervention is needed to solve the crisis.

• Is using the economic crises to rush legislation through congress what Rahm Emanuel meant when he talked about "not letting a crises go to waste"? Probably. That way you hope people are so wrapped up in their personal lives they are not paying attention to what is going in the gov't.

• What are the czars paid? What is the budget for their staffs/offices? As for the first question Glenn Beck answers that on czar page. Most salaries are unknown, and some are not paid at all. As for the budgets of the czars, who knows. Obama does not list any czar salary or budget on the White House website. So much for transparency.
