Why Americans Oppose Obama’s Lecture To Kids In School

Let’s get one thing clear. I am opposed to any president at any time addressing children in school. It is not the time nor the place. Perhaps the president could have followed the advice of many parents I listened to who suggested he present his speech on the television, during the evening when parents are at home and able to guide their child through it. Even now, the President has made the only option available to parents who don’t want their child subjected to his indoctrination to be kept out of school. That in itself is wrong. The first option should have been one given to the parents.

But what’s the real issue here? Simple, actually. It’s called distrust. Yes, President Reagan and President H.W. Bush spoke to the children (which I was opposed to) but was there an uproar? Hardly, although some on the left opposed it. Was there a huge distrust of those two gentlemen?

On Sunday I told you about Doug Giles’ reasons he thought Americans didn’t want the President talking to their kids.

Call us common senseis weird, but when a person—president or otherwise—spurns our desires and he and his top advisors wildly misspend our money, mitigate our liberties, urinate on our values, and call us a**holes, Nazis, terrorists, Astroturf and retards, well, said person and his pals will not only fail to receive our respect or votes, but they have forfeited the privilege of addressing our kids—or our dogs for matter.

Put a different way (not in the style of Doug Giles) is Thomas Sowell, who this morning begins his column by saying:

The most important thing about what anyone says are not the words themselves but the credibility of the person who says them.

And this is what the whole issue is concerning Barack Obama addressing our kids at school. We simply do not trust the man and for me and millions of others, that’s reason enough to object to this action.

The media, still drinking the Obama Kool-Aid, refuse to understand the difference and they have let their ignorance and bias show again. Yesterday the White House released the text of what President Obama will say to the kids today. The press, and I suppose millions more Americans, actually believe that is what President Obama had originally planned to say to our kids. Of course it’s a rewrite!

You can call it more distrust on my part but there is absolutely no reason to think otherwise, especially in light of the fact that we know the “lesson plan” that was originally presented to the school departments and how they wanted teachers to help with the indoctrination.

The biased press has taken it upon themselves to use the rewritten Obama text to demonize those of us who oppose the lecture. Even this morning on the Today Show, former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, seemed to be sipping on Obama’s Kool-Aid, by saying essentially that it is ridiculous that anyone would oppose this speech by Obama. Please!

As more and more Americans are getting it and are willing to speak up, Obama’s systematic take over of our rights and freedoms is now running into bumps in the road for him. We have seen that the President doesn’t take not getting his way very well and all the more reason to oppose his policies when we don’t agree with them. Our freedom is worth saving!
