If there is one thing people value more than dogs in this country it is children. I don't have kids, don't find them very cute and could care less about debating them on the finer points of Harry Potter. And I hate the people who ask me if I want to see a picture of their kid. Man unless your kid is in a picture where it is surrounded by a bunch of naked chicks playing twister I probably have no interest in looking at your kid who you have to admit has really no distinguishing characteristics between kids of its age. Maybe these are all reasons why I can't get worked up into a pitchfork mob frenzy by the news that Obama will be beamed in through the intertubes into schools of America to indoctrinate them in the upcoming Marxist army which will rule supreme through the ages.
No I am not kidding that people are actually getting worked up that Obama will be addressing the kids of America during school hours instead of primetime. I don't know what he is going to say but it will probably be the cookie cutter you're so special and if you follow your dreams to the stars you can be whatever you want to be bullshit that was fed to me when I was young.
For instance check out this Vodkapundit guy. Yes a guy who blogs under the alias Vodkapundit has an important message and he needs to be taken seriously. Who knows if he actually believes the dribble he actually writes or finds it a quick way to make a buck by working up the robotic masses who turn off their critical thinking skills and happily believe any fucking thing they hear from the talking heads in the media.
What is it that makes Vodkapundit so mad. Just the fact that Obama is the President I guess. I am sure if it was Bush he would talk about how the students are the luckiest kids in the world because they finally have someone addressing them who reads at the same grade level. Here is his main beef:
He has to make this a — what does the Left call it? — a teachable moment. A speech-in, if you will. Teachers have even been given handy instructions on how best to integrate The One into the classroom. Here’s some fun educational-type stuff your young son or daughter might be doing next week:
After the Speech:Right Back At Ya
• Teachers could ask students to share the ideas they recorded, exchange sticky notes or stick notes on a butcher paper poster in the classroom to discuss main ideas from the speech, i.e. citizenship, personal responsibility, civic duty.
• Students could discuss their responses to the following questions:
What do you think the President wants us to do?
Does the speech make you want to do anything?
You mean, other than hurl?
Oh, and this:
Are we able to do what President Obama is asking of us?"
So he has no real substance to why he is upset just the fact that he can be so why the hell not? He's mad because the kids will listen to Obama and actually process what he says. I guess that would make me mad too because that is not what school is supposed to be about.
Vodkapundit goes on to say that if he had a kid in school he would pull him out that day (what this asshole is making a big deal out of this and doesn't even have a kid effected by this) as some sort of protest and you should to! Vodkapundit wants you to make it a patriotic day where you do patriotic stuff like watching the movie 1776 and setting off fireworks.
Vodkapundit is an idiot. There are better things to be outraged by but you want to make a big deal out of this inconsequential action. To anyone who this outrages let me ask you this question; did this make you mad too:
