Washington, DC -- School children learn the line in civics and government classes -- "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Yet, incoming president Barack Obama, who likes to remind people he is a former Constitutional law professor, disregarded life as the first of the inalienable human rights.

Schoolchildren whose formative years are spent in school in Indonesia do not learn the American Constitution.

This makes me sick. It's only been a day and already I'm ready for change.

Maybe there's an underlying reason why he also got hung up on the word "execute" in the oath of office.
 
Maybe it has something to do with his fondness for quoting Chairman Mao Tse Tung... who forced Chinese children to execute their own parents for the good of the collective.
 
Fair wind or foul?

All animals are equal, some are more equal than others.

When does life begin? That question (as is the job of President) is above this guy's pay grade.

Can you be a little bit pregnant? There lies the answer to the question of when life begins.

Obama’s Friend Bill Ayers Planned Taking Over Government, Re-Education Camps, and Genocide (Stop the ACLU 23 Oct 08 John Stephenson)

Freudian slip?

Wasn’t Obambi living in Indonesia when he was 8 years old and unaware of the formation of the Weather Underground (Nov 1969, Chicago)?

He cites growing up in a racist America. Seem to me that he lived out of the country during the turbulent 60s. Was Indonesia also racist?

Certainly makes me wonder what’s going on in his beady little mind.

And in other news, crates of milk and apples were seen to be moved into the Whitehouse along with the Obama’s personal effects.

Or was that personnel effects?

Stay tuned for clarification.

Back to you, Winston.

Not to put too fine a point on the matter, but the assertion that “life” is one of, indeed the first in rank of our inalienable rights, is stated in the Declaration of Independence, which is actually the founding document of the American Republic, and not in the Constitution, the purpose of which is to describe the manner in which the Republic is to be governed.
That being said, there is no reason to expect the mind of Obamessiah to have been steeped, in his childhood years, in the circumstances of the founding of the Great American Experiment, or in American civics. Even children born in the U. S. or one of its territories during the past half century or so are not very well taught in such matters.

After yesterday, this is Republican Conservatives Song

Help
John Lennon / Paul McCartney

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody’s help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I’m not so self assured,
Now I find I’ve changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I’m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won’t you please, please help me.

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I’ve never done before.

Help me if you can, I’m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won’t you please, please help me.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody’s help in any way.
But now these daya are gone, I’m not so self assured,
Now I find I’ve changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I’m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won’t you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.

We aren’t conservatives if that is our theme song. We’re liberals.

Conservatives help themselves.

I was thinking that we need change already. We need help to make that change. My thinking was what song would apply and I remembered “Help”.
