Single What? Female...

Because "stay in school"...

is a socialist mantra.

Really?

I know the conservatives still can't believe that Obama is president and can't stand the fact that he is, you know, trying to improve things, but seriously...spouting to the public that Obama's speech to school children this morning was going to amount to liberal propaganda and his pushing his "communist agenda" on the wee minds of our children is going above and beyond...again.

I saw a woman interviewed on the news this morning, holding her child, standing with her husband...and she remarked how she does not believe in abortion or gay marriage and does not want these liberal views shoved down the throat of her children. Um...you seriously believe that the president is going to actually talk about THAT on the first day of school?

Reagan spoke to the kids, Bush 41 did, even W. did...and while I am sure I might not have been pleased to have my (presently non-existent) children have to listen to W. - mainly because I just couldn't stand listening to his whiny voice for longer than a couple of minutes at a stretch - I would know that George was not going to make a policy speech. He was going to make a speech, like his father and Reagan and others before them, about staying in school and hey, have a great first day!

So...as the speech was put on the internets here for all to see, I decided to see where in his speech he says he wants kids to have abortions and be okay with gay marriage...And I couldn't find it. Nuthin'. I kept looking amidst the sections about how students should take responsibility for their destiny, let alone their schoolwork and not let various disadvantages distract them from working harder or give them an excuse to talk back to their parents or teachers, but nope, never saw anything about abortions and the gays getting married; not even the WORD communism...I'm still looking, and if it's there, I'll let you know...

KEEP PAYING ATTENTION! (Like your teacher said!)
