High School Bars Criticism of President Obama [SATIRE]
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 24 Jan 2009 | John Semmens

Posted on 01/26/2009 10:20:07 AM PST by John Semmens

The Warsaw Community High School (Indiana) chapter of “Young Americans for Liberty” was barred from passing out literature expressing doubts about the wisdom of President Obama announced policy intentions. Assistant Principal Steve Ferber said he was forced to take the action because the literature was “dangerously critical of our president.”

“The time for debating policies is over,” Ferber contended. “Obama was the winner in the election. In four years there will be another election for president. Until then, it is every American’s duty to support his program. Criticism just undermines the president’s ability to succeed.”

Ferber rejected comparisons with the endless stream of criticism that members of the “right-wing” say undermined President Bush’s ability to lead during his administration. “Bush clearly took this country down the wrong path,” Ferber said. “Criticism was necessary in order to prevent greater harm. We supported students’ right to speak up for their future in those perilous times. But times have changed. The new president must be given a fair chance to implement his agenda without the carping of naysayers.”

The “dangerous” literature that the students had planned to distribute during lunch included a booklet of facts about the U.S. Constitution; stickers with the words “You’ll be disappointed” and “Not Change,” and a flyer titled “Don’t be fooled by rhetoric.”

In a separate incident, President Obama confirmed the new reality by pointing out to Senate Republican critics of his stimulus package that—”I won. The people are behind me. For the next four years I will be calling the shots. If you want a ‘piece of the pie’ you’ll have to go along. There’ll be enough to share with those who are team players.”

The sycophants at the school are working overtime. And its clear they forget the First Amendment to the United States Constitution is the part of the United States Bill of Rights that expressly prohibits the United States Congress — as well as the state — infringing on the freedom of speech.

Does anyone have Sophie Scholl's number? She could re-start the White Rose society.

Well, she could if the nazis hadn't cut her head off for passing out pamphlets at school.

It’s satire, but I can’t figure out what event the high school story is based upon.

Warsaw Community High School may be in for a deluge of emails whether it’s true or not.

I hope everyone went to the link and read this part so you know that terrorists no longer exist and we are finally safe according to Obama. And the GITMO terrorists are VICTIMS. Once again Obama blames Bush and Americans. Once again Obama sides with his terrorist allies.

In his executive order, President Obama declared that “these victims of the Bush Administration have suffered enough. We’ve got to bring an end to the cycle of hostility and reprisals. These men were enemies to a regime that no longer exists. I am offering an olive branch of peace in the hope that it will bring about a change in feelings and attitudes between our country and those we have offended over the last eight years.”
