Oh, say, can you see (how stupid our country is becoming)

There’s been an incredible – and ridiculous – controversy brewing over President Obama's plan to speak to the nation’s schoolchildren next week. There are school districts across the country that are actually deciding whether the president of the United States should be allowed to talk with the children of this country via video link, or whether to give children whose parents object the opportunity to opt out of the session. The White House says the speech is simply a means for the president to "challenge students to work hard, set educational goals and take responsibility for their learning." But to hear the opponents talk, what he really wants to do is hypnotize our youngsters so they will blindly follow him as he takes our guns, closes our churches and imposes his diabolical plot for a one-world government headed, of course, by Obama. Here were the remarks of one parent quoted in a Denver Post story. It pretty much says it all. "I don’t want that man talking to my children," said Christina Huff. "Look at other leaders who had socialistic policies and chose to talk to children. This would include Hitler, Stalin, Lenin and Castro. I will keep my kids home from school that day, and we will re-read the Declaration of Independence." Maybe the kids can help her with some of the bigger words.
