Re: “Those who are whipping up hysteria over the president’s address are playing a dangerous game”

Now the people who don’t want their kids to hear Obama’s speech are dangerous. How so? What irreparable harm is going to be done if they don’t hear the speech? What’s the big deal?”

*************

Agree. And one middle of the road radio host here in Los Angeles commented yesterday that if this is so important, it should be aired in the evening, around 8 p.m., so parents could watch it WITH their children if they saw fit, and comment when they felt it appropriate. The parents are raising the children, Obama is NOT raising other peoples’ children. Not today, not ever. DROP IT OBAMIE — oh, and where’s that REAL birth certificate?

"Even if the address were muted, I still would not want my kids to intentionally look into the face of evil."

Very perceptive. There's been a noticeable uptick in the number of people displaying discernment by their awareness of the evil apparent in The Usurper's face and, as a good FRiend has pointed out many times, the "cold, dead eyes."

I just read two of the links. I’m floored - I didn’t read his book and heard his name being mentioned but didn’t know or care who he was. Strange - how I saw ‘that’ in his poem. Trying to be a poet like Davis I guess. Now that ‘Anne’ is that supposed to be his mother?

[shibumi]

If we wanted to get really Biblical, we could go into The Great Harlot, Mother of the Son of Perdition .....

But Stanley Anne was perpetually attracted to dark men, who espoused exotic, or no religion. Obama Sr., Soetoro, both Muslim, Davis, atheist.

Davis wrote about seducing an underage white girl - there is some speculation that he really was The Usurper’s father.

The mentor relationship was arranged by Grandma Dunham - perhaps she used more than just instinct in her choice.

One more to shake your grasp of the conventional “truth.”

Tim Rutten...Tim Rutten...Tim Rutten....nope, never heard of him. New lib on the paper who'll work cheap?

How're those circulation numbers doin' for the L.A. Slimes?

L.A. Times has 2nd largest circulation drop for Sunday papers in the nation!

Yeah, I think we know how much influence Timmy Rutten and his birdcage liner paper exerts.

“LA Times: Calls to boycott Obama’s speech to kids offer a disturbing lesson in paranoia”

The Libs and the government media have a whole different vocabulary. Citizen queries are called “paranoia”

Van Jones called the truth a “smear campaign”.

The thing that unnerves me about Frank marshall davis is that he was investigated for 19 years and had an FBI file that was 600 pages long.

Then suddenly, the investigation stops. The same year Kennedy was killed. E Howard Hunt claimed that the CIA and LBJ did it.

HOw does the son of a radical weirdo child molester with a huge FBI file end up working for the Defense Intelligence Agency?

It is quite possible that Obama was molested. Davis was a freak.

Obama writes about going to the red light district with his grandfather who went there to get away from his troubles. What troubles???
He also writes about being uncomfortable going with his grandfather to a poet’s house..I think it was to the house of Davis.

Although , that wouldn’t make sense since Davis later became his mentor.
I don’t know the years in which davis was his mentor.

I believe President Reagan gave a speech in 1988 which was nationally televised to students. The difference is Reagan wasnt trying to indoctrinate the students.

The differences are stark. Obama's doing this at the beginning of his presidency in order to troll for votes. Reagan's speech was in the last year of his second term. Reagan had no cheerleading section of Hollywood and musician types pledging servanthood to him. Reagan told the kids to "ground themselves in the ideas and values of the American Revolution." Obama is claiming that he's bringing a new revolution. Reagan wasn't a socialist. Obama is a statist who has been steeped in radical, anti-American rhetoric since his youngest days.

The problem with those who say, well, Reagan gave a speech to students in 1988 and Bush gave a speech to students in 1991, so there's really nothing different about Obama giving a speech to students in 2009 is the fallacy of the undistributed middle: A is M and B is M; therefore, A is B. It just isn't so: Jets have wings. Birds have wings; therefore, jets are birds. Reagan and Bush were presidents and Obama is a president, but Obama is certainly no Reagan or Bush.

It’s not the speech, it’s the lesson plans

Exactly. But they are waving everyone on from that and trying to say it's paranoid racists who just don't want their kids hearing a speech by the President. Move along, nothing to see here...

When he came on the scene, I knew he was a street thug. Never bought into the 'conventional truth'. Saw those Anne pixs before - never bothered checking Davis' background. BO's poem led to that. W/o all that, one could see he was not a pro-life American nor qualified in any way to be prez.

From the beginning, the guy was too obvious, IMO, to fool anyone but I was wrong there. When I heard him say 'My muslim faith' and 57 states 'slips' - I thought OK, that's it - right from his own mouth and yet the heads remained in the sand. His past associates were revealed - thought that would do it. His 'non qualifications' didn't do it, his 20 yr association w/a 'hate whitey, G*d dam America' church didn't do it but he certainly has lived up to those 'values'.

BTTT!

Hey LA Times, you and your ilk taught us to be paranoid with all your Bush-bashing.

Sounds like your chickens are coming home to roost.

Bottom Line:

This is simply not a person that any good parent would want “lecturing” their child.

[presently no screen name]

Totally agree! It’s the kind you tell your children to stay away from. Their minds are way too impressionable right now - that’s why they go after them - and then the teachers are given the green light to speak favorably about him and who knows what will be said - but in spite of that - the child gets the impression, “He’s good”. Same thing happened to me in the 2nd grade and I still remember it - went home telling my parents who to vote for and why.

Bottom line - we know what he is up to. And they are saying it’s just the prez, other’s did it, blah, blah. Coming from the clueless that voted for him is hardly a good endorsement - they are still clueless or a commie.
