(The head of the Republican party in Florida, Jim Greer, is
protesting Obama talking to school children because the President
'wants to push his socialist ideology on them'!!! I don't know whether
to laugh or cry because parents are picking up that chant!)
 

Chan Lowe cartoon: Obama "poisons" young minds

> Posted by Chan Lowe on September 4, 2009 01:20 PM

It's hard for reasonable people to even wrap their minds around the
ugliness of thought that would cause a parent to prevent his child from
being exposed to the words of the President of the United States.
One should at least have enough respect for the office to listen to its occupant before disagreeing.
It would be an excellent civics lesson, it seems to me, to talk to
one's child after hearing the president speak and explain to him that
it is all right not to agree with everything--or anything--he says. But
all this does is teach children to hate, rather than listen to, those
with whom we disagree. A variation, I suppose, on the Bush "we don't
talk to our enemies" doctrine.
The other stuff, that he's trying to poison young minds with his
socialistic, communistic dogma--well, if you really believe what
Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck et al feed you, then I'm not going to waste
further keystrokes trying to talk you out of it.
Oh, and if you have a problem with my cartoon or anything I've said,
don't bother to post your comment, because if you do, I will remove it
in order not to expose my other readers to your thoughts. By not being
in lockstep with mine, they are ipso facto unworthy for this blog.
I'm kidding. Go ahead and rant; just keep it clean.
