Should the PRESIDENT be Addressing Schoolchildren ???

 

This is quite disturbing : the President of the United States, addressing young, impressionable schoolschildren.

I'm not quite sure how I should react !!

See his very words - right here :

PRESIDENT REAGAN: Well, thank you very much. Please, be seated. You know, this is a real treat for me, having you here, and to have in a little while the chance to answer some of your questions. Let me also offer a special hello to those of you who are watching on C-Span, or the Instructional Television Network. Thank you for inviting us into your home or your school today ...

And that is a vision that goes beyond economics and politics, it's also a moral vision, grounded in the reverence and faith of those who believe that with God's help, they could create a free and democratic nation ...

Because you see, the taxes can be such a penalty on people that there's no incentive for them to prosper and to earn more and so forth because they have to give so much to the government ...

There was talk about having a gun ban in California. It didn't go through. But I got a letter from a man in San Quentin Prison. And from the prison he wrote me the letter to tell me he was in there for burglary, he was a burglar. And he said, "I just want you to know that if that law goes through, here in San Quentin there will be celebrating throughout the day and night by all the burglars who are in prison."

(How do you feel about this ???)

Oh-oh !

Somebody figured out I was trying to defuse the comments about President Obama's address to the kiddies !!

Here's the response:

Free Republic Hoaxed (Again) ; Reacts With Anger - Not Shame !

Free Republic - an increasingly radical website - has been lending tacit support to "Birther" ORLY TAITZ (and to World Net Daily - best described as a Wing Nut publication of questionable repute). 

Ms Taitz and World Net Daily have been cooperating on a rather transparent project : the object of which is to destroy the reputation of the very popular , recently elected President of the United States-Barack Hussein Obama.

The method used is to insist the President was NOT born in the United States (or,alternatively, that he was automatically granted his father's British citizenship) and is thus ineligible to serve as President.

Quite recently, Dr. Taitz (she is a dentist, mail-order lawyer,and realtor) unveiled what she described as a birth certificate proving President Obama had been born in Kenya.

Not content  with displaying an image on the internet, she also filed suit, demanding (among other things) the Secretary of State be compelled to confirm the validity of the document. 

Orly's fans on Free Republic  (Freepers) were all agog ! One could almost hear the church bells being rung in a victory celebration.

At last ! America would be freed from the "Kenyan Usurper". (That's the polite way of talking about "one of those people" now.)  

Alas for the Birthers and Freepers : the "smoking  gun " from Kenya turned out to be a snarky prank by an Obama supporter !!!

The reaction on Free Republic was mostly fury : not because Orly Taitz had duped them again, but because they had been made to look foolish for believing her.

I'm including a link for anyone who is interested, but must warn there were over 400 responses at the time I posted this.

So: how about the other players ? World Net Daily - after a brief burst of self-congratulatory enthusiasm - has glumly decided the "Kenyan" document is a hoax.

Orly Taitz ...apparently decided it would be a great time to visit the folks in Israel ; but , I'm sure she'll be back !

America needs a little humor break in these difficult times !

Ron Paul : Things That Make You Go " Huh ???"

Remember Ron Paul ? In case you don't, he's a Texas Congresscritter who ran for President last year : mostly on his reputation of being nicknamed " Doctor No ".

Dr. Paul (he is a retired obstetrician) voted against almost every bill presented in the House of Representatives : including appropriations for his own district.

The appropriations would pass anyway (as he well knew) , and he was able to rack up double credits: one for rejecting the measure; another for "winning" an appropriation for his district : a sparsely settled section of Texas, that probably has a smaller population than the suburban NJ town I live in.

The Republican party was underwhelmed by Ron Paul , who, with great effort on the part of his boosters,was able to win a barely-visible 8% of the primary votes .

At the end of the campaign, Ron Paul had about $ 47 million in unspent contributions on hand. He also had family members and connections who had been drawing salaries from the campaign - and it would have been a big no-no to just keep the money; so he did the next best thing: he started a foundation - and put his family on that payroll !

So what his his new cause - The Campaign for Liberty - been up to ?

"Craziness", says Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs.

Want to know about "The History of Satanic World Banking ?"

Ever wondered : "Was Hitler an Illuminati agent " ?

Wonder no more ! Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty is the go-to site for those interested in Zionist conspiracies, the lowdown on the Rothschilds, 9/11 "Truther" materials, Holocaust denial,and the like.

I'm sure all you Ron Paul contributors will be thrilled to learn one of your own is still going strong !
