Speech, Guns, Parental Rights - Best Be Ready to Fight for Them
You have to hand it to those reprogressives. They are predictable and consistent. And my prediction is that should Barack Obama assume office, parents will have to have as firm a grip on their children as they do their guns. Assuming we still have rights to them at all, because trust me - they want them. After all, you can’t have knuckle dragging Neanderthals inculcating the next generation with traditional values or love of country.
In fact, Obama’s buddy, William Ayers, think that children serve as fodder for revolution.
Still more evidence of how the media are in the tank for Obama was evident in Tom Brokaw’s description of Ayers on Sunday’s “Meet The Press.”
“School reformer” is how Brokaw identified the co-founder of the Weather Underground, the radical organization that, among other activities, bombed government buildings, banks, police departments and military bases in the early 1970s.
Yeah, right: Ayers is a school reformer in the same sense, as City Journal’s Sol Stern put it, as Joe Stalin was an agricultural reformer.
An idea of what Ayers has in mind for America’s schools was provided in his own words not 40 years ago when Obama was eight years old, but less than two years ago in November 2006 at the World Education Forum in Caracas hosted by dictator Hugo Chavez.
With Chavez at his side, Ayers voiced his support for “the political educational reforms under way here in Venezuela under the leadership of President Chavez. We share the belief that education is the motor-force of revolution. . . . I look forward to seeing how . . . all of you continue to overcome the failures of capitalist education as you seek to create something truly new and deeply humane.”
Ayers told the great humanitarian Chavez: “Teaching invites transformations, it urges revolutions large and small. La educacion es revolucion.” It is that form of socialist revolution that Ayers, and Obama, have worked to bring to America.
And then there is Hillary. Next to Obama,she almost seemed benign, but that is an illusion. She cut her political teeth on the same Alinsky radicalism as Obama. And, unfortunately, she still is in government.
No doubt her program will breed a new generation of zealots for Obama’s brown shirts. Now we just have to wait and see when they determine that you have to place your child in their socialist zoo. And to that I say, over my freaking dead body.
While senators scrambled to pass a financial “rescue” or “bailout” package that could cost taxpayers up to $700 billion on Wednesday, Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Kit Bond (R-Mo.) called for expanding the public education system to include 3- and 4-year-olds.
The pre-K programs would be paid for by state funding and supplemented by federal grants. you the tax payer.
[...]
Bredesen was one of a panel of state officials, school administrators, and advocates for pre-kindergarten who said pre-K should be available to all children, not just low-income or at-risk children who have traditionally been targeted by programs such as the federal Head Start program.On a related note, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama wants to create a “Zero to Five Plan” that would, as his Web site states, emphasize “education for infants, which is essential for children to be ready to enter kindergarten.” The plan also calls for helping “states move toward voluntary, universal pre-school.”
And my question simply is, why? So Obama will have a few extra years to stuff sex education down their throats?
“Research shows disparate results (of pre-kindergarten programs),” Don Soifer, executive vice president of the conservative Lexington Institute, told CNSNews.com.
The research has also shown that such programs can cause behavioral problems in some children, he said.
But panelists at the briefing said the idea is to put a “certified public teacher” in charge of voluntary pre-K programs who will help children adequately prepare for school.
When asked by CNSNews.com if teachers were better than parents at preparing their children for school, Gov. Bredesen said it took a “joint effort.”(Source)
To which I say, bullshit. Given the abysmal “youth” that public education has managed to churn out so far, what the hell could be a rational basis for such an asinine assertion.
Speech, guns, parental rights. Best be ready to fight for them.

“Zero to five” plan - because the government school system is such a great place for children! It sounds like more techniques to destroy the family (along with the “sex education”) and create dependence on and obedience to government. The idea of schooling for infants to “prepare them for kindergarten” is just plain creepy. I start to picture home schoolers like me hiding in the shadows to avoid having our children taken by “the authorities”. Call me paranoid, but it’s not as far fetched as people who don’t really know the issues might think.
It’s only in the last 100 years or so that government schooling has become the norm for kids; before public schools, everyone was either home schooled or educated in small community settings. I think it’s a failed experiment and the last thing we need is more of the same.
