Parents are afraid to send their children to school after seeing new evidence that Barack Obama’s school indoctrination program is a reality. A now famous video clip surfaced on YouTube showing children at the Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, New Jersey singing songs praising Barack Obama and chanting tid-bits of draconian far-left political ideology. (Fox news interviews including songs and chants)
The music comes from a well known religious song with the name Jesus replaced with Barack Obama and lyrics treat Obama as a national savior. The children then chant a request to support him; to help with his “accomplishments†for making the country strong again. The author of the song is unknown, but a woman – possibly a teacher – can be heard correcting and helping a student who has forgotten the words. Another woman, the person holding the camera, cheers the students on: “All right,” she says. “I like that.”
The action corresponds to lessons suggested by the Obama administration, which were released in conjunction with his national address to school children. In typical Obama loyalist style, school principle Dr. Denise King remained defiant in response to complaints from parents; reportedly saying that she would do it again.
Sean Hannity of Fox News interviewed parents of one of the children in the video, along with former Governor of Arkansas and Republican primary presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.
Hannity: Governor, are you tearing up?
Huckabee: I could easily. With just a little prompting I think I could. You know what I think ought to happen. A lot of these parents [should] run for school board. You know the ultimate power in this country still comes back to people rule. But they can’t rule if they don’t take on the opportunity to say I’m going to run for school board. We’re going to change some policies. It starts there.
So let me get this straight Mike. I have concerns that involve the federal government, the state government, city, county and local government. In order to live comfortably, I need to take control of all branches of government at all those levels, as well as perform the more bureaucratic jobs? Isn’t that what limits to government power and individual rights were all about? So that the masses could get on with their ordinary lives without being fully committed to politics? What happens once we’re all politicians and bureaucrats? How will the rest of civilization work, if there is to be any? Is every job going to be a government job?
Hannity: Am I being too harsh? Because I’m sorry, these are young kids. If they’re going to present political views in a school – you can’t mention God – if they’re going to mention political views, I want balance. I don’t want indoctrination. Am I too harsh in saying she should go?
Huckabee: I think you hit it perfectly a moment ago. It’s not that there was the incident, it’s the defense of the incident with a tone deafness about why parents would be upset.
It’s not that there was that incident? The evidence is unequivocal. These are very dangerous people. They are political extremists who are forcibly indoctrinating school children and there is no reason to think it is an isolated incident. Is PC politeness and perhaps cowardliness to make fools of us all? An emotionally healthy person can reasonably demand arrest and trial for child abuse. Parents throughout the country should be monitoring their schools to assure that it doesn’t happen there. Is this really going to be treated as merely a difference of opinion – subject to a slow and uncertain political process – rather than a crime? Are the teachers and principle involved actually still being allowed to return to work each day as usual? With access to the children to continue the abuse?
Huckabee, unfortunately, is part of a generation of politicians that I have been watching for about 30 years. Republicans and leftist commentators have distorted the meaning of the term “conservative†to allow both parties on-board with a far-left political agenda. He, like his brethren, preach helplessness and passivity in the face of the political machine. He mirrors the shocking position taken by members of both large parties. The only right that American citizens have is the right to vote (to continue control by the two parties). In other words; once in power, power is absolute. There are no moral absolutes that apply to government, no limits to government behavior, no individual rights, only political power. The individual is dead in America. There is only the power of “the state†now. (And “the state†is now gathered into a dictatorial super-state; the reformulated federal government.)
There are fatal flaws their arguments, often quite obvious when people take the time to think them through. In line with Huckabee’s position, freedom from arbitrary government intrusion can only be met by taking power yourself (so long as you are loyal to those more powerful – that’s raw primitive politics). If you are in control, you can rule according to your preferences – at least within the scope of your authority – which presumably will not seem so arbitrary to you. Besides – in your own life you would only be intruding on yourself – in whatever way you personally prefer. Just as good as individual rights? What else can you do, he argues. That’s the way things work. There is no personal life, only the power of “the state.â€Â
This is the vision – promoted by both parties – that led to the fall of Constitutional rule. Constitutional rule holds not with Mike Huckabee’s principles of government, that “power in this country still comes back to people rule†– at least not his version. The United States is formally defined as a nation of laws (not of men) with “inalienable†protection against arbitrary government intrusion. Certainly, continuously preaching a contradictory philosophy leads to a reduction in the effort needed to keep government in check. Add to this the lack of honest civics education in America, and its replacement with alternative political messages, and you see the designs of an organized coup. This is not the first time, nor is the United States the first country, in which this has happened. It is an integral part of every dictatorship in the world.
It’s a frog in hot water scenario with each election cycle triggering another increasingly large step and defenders telling us that precedents have already been set. It took a very short time to move from a televised speech to school children by a president to brain-washing sessions praising a corrupt politician as our “national savior.†The “slippery slope†was indeed competent theory.
My 30 year watch began with Ronald Reagan, a genius in wrapping a far-left national “social policy†agenda in “conservative†rhetoric. Not unlike Obama supporters, Reagan loyalists still to this day seem to worship him as a great icon of their movement rather than objectively evaluating the major changes in their relationship with government that resulted from his presidency. A Reagan acolyte, Newt Gingrich has joined with Al Sharpton in promoting the federal intrusion in schools. Political indoctrination for adults. (Fox News reports)
