Republican furor over Obama school address
Florida GOP head Jim Greer,
You’re an obnoxious pain in the rear.
You make your career
Out of inciting fear.
In ignorance, you are without peer.

Obama’s wanted to “indoctrinate America’s children to his socialist agenda”
(oh yes, you said it).
You condemned his speech
Before you even read it.

When the speech was released
Even you had to confess
There was nothing in it
That you could protest.

But it was political, you say with a sneer.
There was that line in the memo (later deleted)
Which you avowedly so fear.
And you say Dems were also critical of GB1
When he gave a school speech in 1991.

Yes, there was the memo to teachers drafted by a long-time Department of Education resident
Suggesting kids could “write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president.”
You say that’s what caused you to rail
(I guess because you want Obama to fail).

And it’s true, some Dems took Bush 1’s speech as an affront
Saying the appearance was a political stunt,
And maybe it was, since one has to say
That he did announce his candidacy for reelection the next day.

But noone called Bush 1 a socialist or fascist dictator.
(Rush Limbaugh, why are you such a hater?)
Noone accused him of trying to set up his own Hitler Youth
(Glenn Beck et. al., why are you so uncouth?)

No parents demonstrated in front of schools
Or kept their kids home (flouting truancy rules).
And when Bush 1 said “Write me a letter… about ways you can help us achieve our goals”
Noone proposed raking him over hot coals.

Republicans, if you keep up this bent
Our country’s prospects are dim.
We’ve only got one President
And Jim Greer, you ain’t him.

Obama’s our duly elected President
So show some respect.
And stop saying things
So wildly incorrect.

Come to think of it i am feeling a little bit more like govt nannycare is a great idea for the bloated goat it is.

My son sat in the Library and learned about the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and our forefathers. He came home and told me about them, and how our country was founded. He is five.

My neighbors son who is in the same school, five years old but different class, came home and told his mom all the things that Obama said he should do. Hmmm. One comes home with concepts of revolution, the other with concepts of subjugation. I suppose both a form of indoctrination.

No matter what, the real problem that rests with all american issues is that we have lost a tremendous sense of community and neighborly trust. Nationalism does nothing but divide, as we can see by this post.

Young enough to still want to save the world but, no idea how to pay for it. That’s what happens when you live on daddy’s payroll.
