Chef Jim Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Dismiss what? Kids singing songs about the President? Are you now going to lie to me and assert that it's an unprecedented practice? Here's a link which gives you another opportunity for an ad hominem response. Feel free to ignore its content: LINK Kids going to the White House to sing to the President is fine and it wasn't blared all over. Going on CNN to do it is a bit much. And so you found one instance in his 8 years and in less than a year of Obama how many of these have we heard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a link which gives you another opportunity for an ad hominem response. Feel free to ignore its content: LINK You are comparing the two? You really should consider what you have to say before you do it and you might gain some credibility. The Huffington Post? Why don't you just give bishop hedd complete power over your thoughts.

Whats sad Cat, is that you don't. But hey, what should we expect? just as you are turning a blind eye to the likely hood that the Ft Hood massacre wasn't an act of Jihadism, you are turning your back to this.

Since you're reminded of the Hitler Youth days, why don't you be a bit more illustrative with your recollection. I'd love to hear the similarities. Whats sad Cat, is that you don't.

At least you're consistent Your schools didn't have the Presidential fitness challenge? They didn't hang portraits of current and former presidents in your classrooms? Never had you dress up like former presidents and put on plays? Never been to a school named after a president? Your teacher never taught you things about your president? Nothing, none of this? Or is that singing songs is that much worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to hear the similarities. The mindless, repetitive chanting praising the god-like persona of Obama is much like the chanting that I saw clips of from the Hitler Youth days. Don't ask me to find a link........I really don't think that anything would change your mind or convince you to actually look at and consider views other than your set in concrete ideology.

Adam Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 You're not so dense to totally dismiss this are you? Oh that's right you're a dope smoking, cartoon watching, terrorist sympathizing kid. So I guess that was more of a rhetorical question. Terrorists watch cartoons? I guess that explains the Snorks....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your teacher never taught you things about your president? Nothing, none of this? Presidentital fitness challenge? What is that? Is that when you dress up like the current president and do fitness drills? Hang portraits of current presidents? never do I remember seeing a portrait of a current president. dressed up like former, famous, great presidents, yes. I knew of schools that were of former presidents, yes. Big difference between a teacher teaching some sort of historic fact about a president, than indoctrinating students. “Barack Obama there is none higher/ Other politicians should call me sire … We’re the baddest of the bad/ The cool of the cool/ I’m Barack/ I rock and rule.” ya, nothing wrong with that right? Good, you can send your kid to that school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not afraid to listen and consider other views. I have never met a die-hard liberal that would do the same. I'm sure there must be some out there, but then again they are probably former liberals if they listened to and actually considered other views.
