Reading material for your kids?

[AAjax]

Well, at least according to this site, these are two of the books that are expected reading for the presidential message for the kids.


If true, its kinda sickening. The propaganda levels now go to 11 it seems. The whole repub/dem landscape just makes me feel like the US has lost its way on a political and social level. What happened to a healthy distrust of politicians?

Given the nature of the site, I suggest the only folks asking anyone to read these books are the publishers. The rest of the story seems to pop fresh out of the head of a rightwing blogger. But you're right; it is kind of sickening.

Subverting the morals of children is something fascists pin on people.

I'm curious as well. Michelle Malkin, whom that site uses as its source, does not count.

We're gonna spread happiness
We're gonna spread freedom
Obama's gonna change it
Obama's gonna lead 'em

We're gonna change it
And rearrange it
We're gonna change the world.

I read both of those books last weekend and promptly went out and gave my life to Barack.

These books are like the "commemorative" Obama coins and other crap that were sold after the election. They figure they can make money with an Obama kids book and that's why it was published. That's not socialism, it's capitalism.

How come it's the Democrats that always wind up being worshiped and never assholes like Ronald Reagan?

 

[TheSkinsFan]

I dug through the mess of partisan blogs, but I could not find a single legitimate source that links these books to the speech.

Can you please link to any semi-respectable source that shows that these books were, at any time, required or suggested reading for students before or after the speech?

The only right Republicans have to be angry is that Obama is beating them at their own game. They pulled the same kind of shit with the American people for many years, only they used Christ as their spokesman. They also tried to use Joe the Plumber but that didnt work out so well.

As for me: I think Obama is a great guy but this worship of him is scary. In 3 more years he will be a demi-god. I am afraid if he doesnt win the next election there will be a race war.

Why wouldn't most people worship someone who gives them anything they want? People like Reagan who expect you to do for yourself are never popular among the crowd who expects everything and gives nothing.

Joke? People speak of Reagan like he is Christ. At least Republicans do.

 

[DesiPower]

Heil Obama, the savior
Just close your eyes and picture him in your thoughts, trust in him, soon all your worries will be gone... enter the path to eternal bliss........

 

[Modelworks]

heh, I doubt that is required reading.
It reads like it was written by little golden books.

 

[syrillus]

Let me see here...So the site you link to cites Michelle Malkin's blog as its source, who cites Hotair.com, a conservative "news" site...yep, about as "fair and balanced" reporting as you can get :roll:

 

[MovingTarget]

Yeah....that is pure weapons-grade bolonium. It is blogs like that which have us all neck-deep in FUD. None of the people currently complaining would be doing so if this was done in the 80s by Reagan....which iirc Reagan did to the same extent as Obama is doing now. Sheesh...

 

[Pens1566]

Solution, burn them.

 

[fskimospy]

What I am amazed by is that anyone still believes the right wing crazies. I mean does anyone actually think that Obama's DOE included those books as part of his speech, honestly? What I'm most surprised by is the fact that even though the ultra-right keeps peddling these insane thing, the next crazy thing they get will be met with the same credulity.

Then stock up.
Besides, who is going to fight? The Black/white mulattos and the white/black mulattos?

Hahahaha. People like Reagan because they were as big of an idiot as he was. Plus he said Jesus a lot, and that a good way to win votes.
