So much juicy goodness, so little time. ACORN, the HHS, the NEA, the UN, Honduras, the 10th Amendment, AGW, all going bust. Big busts.
But the thing costing me the most stomach lining at the moment is this video:

This, folks, is blatant political brainwashing of children. This is the cult of personality. This is worship of the man, not respect for the office. I’m uncomfortable with idolizing Presidents like Washington, Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. FDR gets far too much credit, and did enormous damage. [Wickard v Filburn. FDR, I spit on your "commerce clause", and I spit on you.] I can only shake my head at the canonization of JFK.
But this kowtowing of children — towards a sitting President who is, frankly, doing everything he can to wreck what remains of Constitutional America — this is appalling and sickening.
Lyrics via Cold Fury, one of the many, many anti-socialist blogs reporting this today. I wonder how many minutes it will get on the evening news. How many inches in tomorrow’s paper.
I wonder if the teachers involved will be reprimanded and fired.
Anyway, lyrics of deceit, of enslavement, of culthood:
Barack Hussein Obama
He said that all must lend a hand [?]
To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mm!Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must be clear today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!Barack Hussein Obama
He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mm!Barack Hussein Obama
He said Red, Yellow, Black or White
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!Barack Hussein Obama
Yes
Mmm, mmm, mm!Barack Hussein Obama
segue to
Hello, Mr. President we honor you today!
For all your great accomplishments, we all [do? doth??] say “hooray!”
Hooray Mr. President! You’re number one!
The first Black American to lead this great na-TION!
Hooray, Mr. President something-something-some
A-something-something-something-some economy is number one again!
Hooray Mr. President, we’re really proud of you!
And the same for all Americans [in?] the great Red White and Blue!
So something Mr. President we all just something-some,
So here’s a hearty hip-hooray a-something-something-some!
Hip, hip hooray! (3x)
I weep. “Think of the children”, indeed.
[Of course, the perpetrators of this event, in a public school, must be punished for advertising Obama's middle name, which is only ever done in an attempt to smear him as a Muslim. Right?]
And from Firehand at Irons in the Fire [again, one source among many], this from the public school that performed this despicable act:
Dear Burlington Township Families:
Today we became aware of a video that was placed on the internet which has been reported in the media. The video is of a class of students singing a song about President Obama. The activity took place during Black History Month in 2009, which is recognized each February to honor the contributions of African Americans to our country. Our curriculum studies, honors and recognizes those who serve our country. The recording and distribution of the class activity were unauthorized.
If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me or Dr. King, Principal of B. Bernice Young School, directly.
Sincerely,
Dr. Christopher M. Manno,
Superintendent of Schools
To which Firehand comments:
Notice the recording and distribution of the class activity were unauthorized line; Translation:”You people weren’t supposed to find out about this.”
Another score for the public school system.
Firehand posted a link, but it’s gone now, along with the entire school website. Overwhelmed? Down the memory hole? Who knows?
[updated and expanded with links for the stuff I'm not covering, but think you should be aware of. Scary stuff, all of it, but at least we're pushing back. ]
