    Speaking of schools and indoctrination…Obama has announced his latest Czar…His school Czar:

    Jennings was appointed to the position largely because of his longtime record of working to end bullying and discrimination in schools. In 1990, as a teacher in Massachusetts, he founded the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), which now has over 40 chapters at schools nationwide. He has also published six books on gay rights and education, including one that describes his own experiences as a closeted gay student.

    But critics say Jennings is too radical for the job, citing what they say is his promotion of homosexuality in schools, his writings about his past drug abuse, his onetime contempt for religion and an incident in 1998 in which he did not report an underage student who told him he was having sex with older men.

    “educate the whole child.” and that has been their goal for generations. Home schooling is a possibility for those who can and will. Getting involved at the local level is important for those areas having independent school boards. That is where the county and state elected officials are often important–Illinois is a lost cause but other areas are salvageable. Hold any Republican candidates to pledge to abolish the Department of Education.

    Or you end up like Alameda County, California where the Liberty and Pursuit of Family-Gay and Lesbian Alliance-teach “fairness and tolerance” in the schools and are aided by the county in adoptions. They want the whole child.

    We chose private schools-and kept my one good eye on that.

We all need to contact that school and publicize this as much as possible. There is absolutely NO PLACE in a school setting for this kind of indoctrination. What will these kids think when their great president is led to prison in cuffs? Because I believe that is the end result of his corruption and treason.

    The amount debited from your account will be based on your latest IRS return which ACORN turned over to the NEA last month.

    Does anyone else remember classrooms with pictures of George Washington, a Star-Spangled Banner on a pole in the front of the classroom, and starting the day with the Pledge of Allegiance? Does anyone else remember .22 rifles in the cloakrooms waiting for their owners to reclaim them so they could go squirrel or rabbit hunting on the way home? Does anyone else remember The Lone Ranger Creed?
    
    

    The Lone Ranger Creed

    1. I believe that to have a friend, a man must be one.

    2. That all men are created equal and that everyone has within himself the power to make this a better world.

    3. That God put the firewood there, but that every man must gather and light it himself.

    4. In being prepared physically, mentally, and morally to fight when necessary for that which is right.

    5. That a man should make the most of what equipment he has.

    6. That “this government, of the people, by the people, and for the people,” shall live always.

    7. That men should live by the rule of what is best for the greatest number.

    8. That sooner or later…somewhere…somehow…we must settle with the world and make payment for what we have taken.

    9. That all things change, but the truth, and the truth alone lives on forever.

    10. I believe in my Creator, my country, my fellow man.

    Does anyone else remember when “cowboy” wasn’t a pejorative?

    When Kennedy was shot, we all stood, and the principal led us in prayer over the loud speaker, in our PUBLIC SCHOOL.

    When LBJ was pres, we had Civil Defense drills in case of a nuclear attack. First, DO NOT look out the window. Get under your desk, (every one repeat “Duck and cover, duck and cover…). Then we crawled into the hallway, sat with our backs to the wall with our heads between our knees (presumably to kiss our a$$es goodbye).

    People who remember this period know why Iran, Pyongyang et al must not have nuclear weapons. Ever. And why the war on terror is NOT an “Overseas Contingency Operation”.

    Keep, oh, keep the young heart open
    Always to the breath of God!
    All true trophies of the ages

    We didn’t have them waiting in the cloakroom, but my brothers’ BB-guns were at home, as well as an archery set, and we all learned how to use them.

    I remember watching the Lone Ranger (ah, yes, black and white TV – in more ways than one ), but I’d forgotten the creed; thanks for the refresher.

And has everyone forgotten how we were mocked by the Lubs and trolls about how paranoid we all are?

    What about a couple of weeks ago when we were all called racist and paranoid when we brought up the class programs sent by the White House that was to be used following Obamas FIRST DRAFT SPEECH…the one he was planning on giving had not parents stood up and said they would not stand for their children being indoctrinated in their schools?

    We were bullied for eight years with, “are you questioning my patriotism” and it has become, “you are an insane, paranoid, racist”, so that people will be to afraid to speak up and out against this. They learned the words that Conservatives tend to fear having attached to them.

    Well that’s all they are…words. And unless you are those things, then you should not fear them. Stand up and make a stand against what is going on. It needs to be stopped now. Saying you could have stopped it but didn’t want to be called names by some patchouli soaked moron is a pretty weak reason to lose your children to the neo-fascists and neo-Socialists.
