Obama's Speech today

Over the weekend, Van Jones, Obama's Green jobs czar resigned.  His resignation, created by the mounting revelations of his bizarre beliefs and speeches, is rather incredible given that it was driven mostly by the internet.  People who rely solely on NBC, CBS, ABC, the NY Times, or Washington Post were stunned when they learned about the resignation, because those publications had refused to carry ANYTHING on the story.....until the resignation itself.  

At some point, Obama needs to start questioning whether he needs to "rejigger" his advisers.  His appointments have become an embarrassment, the health care debate has become an inner-party debacle, his poll numbers are slipping.  If he were in business America, at some point he'd look around and say, "my team is not working effectively....it's time to bring in new advisers."  But alas, Axelrod and Emanauel will remain.  

---------------------------------------------------
For a sense of how "out of touch" this administration has become, please check out this piece by Brian Milleville at DownstateILadvocate.com.  Brian has the video that was going to be shown before Obama's speech to the school children.  
It has since been pulled, because of the uproar it was creating.  

The relevant piece of the video comes at the end, where they ask the school kids to "PLEDGE TO BE A SERVANT TO PRESIDENT OBAMA".  

SERIOUSLY, these people really think the role of citizens is to be a servant to the government.  Do you see the incredible disconnect here?  We have a fundamental difference between what most Americans believe (along with our Founding Fathers) and what the left wing nut jobs want.  We now have to pledge to serve our President?  

I've said it before, but the entrenched politicians have completely abandoned the idea of being a public servant.  
It's time they were reminded of their role.  They are supposed to be OUR servants, not the other way around.      

I urge you to watch the video and send the link on to everyone you know.

Downstate Tea Party - Saturday, September 12th - 2:00 pm at the Effingham County Court House lawn.  This is a non-partisan event that is focused on the demand for a responsible government and responsible citizens.

I was four years old when my mother took me to a march for peace and equality, in response to the assassination of Martin Luther King.  The march was pretty remarkable given the fact that no African-Americans even lived in our county, at the time.   (For locals, more than 100 people marched from the old Green Lantern Restaurant to the Effingham County Courthouse). 

I probably remember the march as much for the large number of priests (from the local Seminary) who attended the event, and who were a mainstay of my childhood.  Events like the 1968 peace march helped ignite my interest in our role as "civic" citizens.  It's a lesson that I think every child needs to learn in the US. 

And here's the danger, if they don't:
In a recent column I wrote of a police officer and his wife from England.  The Islamists in that nation are slowly taking over.  It's gotten so bad that in certain parts of his mid-sized city, the police no longer respond to criminal activity.  Instead, the Islamists have told the POLICE, that they are not to enter their neighborhoods, as they will "handle their own".  This includes "honor killings" of daughters who have been raped, husband being allowed to kill their wives, etc.  IT IS HORRIFIC.  And the police merely abide by the "demand" to not get involved.

But guess what?  The 37 year old police officer, who witnesses, first hand, the destruction of his country...........HAS NEVER VOTED IN AN ELECTION!!!! 

Please engage your children and bring them to the Tea Party.  Even if you disagree with the messages that are given (and I doubt that you will), it's still an excellent opportunity to talk with your children about the issues facing America's future.

    I could not believe that video when I saw it last week. While much of what they say in it isn't objectionable to me (if they were pledging these things to make our country a better place, not to help the president) but the ending was so ridiculous. Apparently this was shown in an elementary school w/o the principal viewing it first (really, who does that?) and there was a good amount of backlash.

    And though I said I wasn't going to write about the speech, I did. I couldn't help myself.
