What surprised me in America: my speech at Lincoln Dinner
The People's Cube ^ | 5/30/2015 | Oleg Atbashian

Video at the link.

On May 12th, 2015 I was invited to speak alongside Governor Rick Perry at a Lincoln Dinner organized by Okaloosa Republican Executive Committee in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. I was supposed to warm up the crowd for the Honorable Rick Perry, but the order of appearances was switched at the last moment; Perry gave his keynote speech first, and then I stepped in, thanking the Governor for warming up the crowd for me.

I titled my speech What surprised me in America: an immigrant's account of the good, the bad, and the ugly. There was no way I could cover this topic in 20 minutes, so I'm expecting more invitations from groups who will be willing to give me twice as much time or more.

Video at Link.

Fort Walton Beach is right next to Destin, home of the largest U.S. Air Force base, which explains why the district is largely Republican. It is a beautiful place to visit, with warm and wonderful people, and I had a great time.

The event was organized by Laurie Bartlett, a radio talk show host who had interviewed me several times for her program (we made friends during my 2011 book tour in Austin, TX). Special thanks to Bettina Viviano for her great introduction (she admits she reads the People's Cube every day). And, of course, to Mrs. Red Square who drove our Red Cube vehicle all the way to Okaloosa while I kept adding final touches to my speech in the passenger seat.

While listening, the thought occured to me (don't ask me how or why ... I NEVER know the answer nor reason for these things ... they just occur .. )

How many liberals have successful and/or conservative children ?

As a school board member, I'm not allowed to ask such questions, but I suspect the greater majority of the "teachers" have no children ... which would explain their fascination with clinical analysis of children and how to "educate" ... I mean ... indoctrinate children
