Obama's safe school czar encouraged statuatory rape
Posted by DarthDilbert at 9/29/2009 03:59:00 PM
A teacher was told by a 15-year-old high school sophomore that he was having homosexual sex with an "older man." At the very least, statutory rape occurred. Fox News reported that the teacher violated a state law requiring that he report the abuse. That former teacher, Kevin Jennings, is President Obama's "safe school czar."
Will Obama pardon Roman Polanski and appoint him as safe school czar in place of Kevin Jennings?
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." -- Second Amendment to the US Constitution
Having just watched "Glenn Beck: Unelectable" again, I wanted to share a few quotes he shares in reference to the Second Amendment:
"The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms." -- Samuel Adams
"I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them." -- George Mason
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson
14 - The number of terrorists President Obama has released as free men since taking office.
4 were members of the Uighur ethnic group who were captured on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border and were trained at the al-Qaeda affiliated East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM) Tora Bora. They are now free in Bermuda.
1 is an al Qaeda operative who attacked American troops in Afghanistan in 2002. He was released as a free man to Britain.
1 has admitted to training at various Al-Qaeda training camps, where he specialized in firearms and explosives. He is accused of plotting a series of attacks on the United States with Jose Padilla and Khalid Sheik Mohammed.
3 - The number of delays the President has made in releasing the findings from his GITMO task force. This is a failure to not only meet his self-imposed deadlines, but it shows that the Obama Administration doesn’t have a plan in place for closing GITMO. However, despite the lack of any defined policy or clear plan for how to safely deal with GITMO detainees, the Obama Administration continues to release these dangerous terrorists.
1 - The number of terrorists President Obama has brought to the United States for trial in civilian courts. Khalfan Ghailani, an al Qaeda suspect accused in the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in Africa, was transferred from Guantanamo Bay in June for prosecution in a New York court. This move blatantly ignoring the demands of Congress and the American people who do not want this terrorist in the United States.
17 - The number of U.S. Sailors that were killed by USS Cole Mastermind, Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri. President Obama dropped charges against him on February 7, 2009
$200 Million - The cost of President Obama sending 13 GITMO detainees to the island of Palau. That is only 13 of 229 detainees remaining at GITMO.
Other notes of importance 76 of the 534 prisoners already transferred abroad from the detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, are engaged in terrorism or militant activity, according to administration officials.
Senator Sherrod Brown says anti-Obama sentiment "race-based"
Posted by DarthDilbert at 9/20/2009 09:54:00 PM
Another politician has accused those rallying against President Barack Obama of being racist, this time from Ohio.
Senator Sherrod Brown gave a breakfast speech sponsored by the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Dayton, and afterwards told the audience, "I think some of the animosity against Barack Obama is race-based." The comment was greeted with a chorus of boos from those in attendance.
Brown did say, however, said the people who dislike Obama for racial reasons represent a minority of those who oppose the president. But the senator added that he has seen racial vitriol against the president expressed through letters, emails and phone calls.
The speech on health care took the side of those in the Democratic Party who say that a government-run insurance plan must be an option or they will not vote for the proposal. Brown said he would be "hard-pressed" to vote for a bill that did not have a government option.
The Ohio Democrat said he believes President Obama should have a health reform bill -- one with a government-run insurance plan and universal coverage -- on his desk by late fall.
ACORN, which says it has about 7,500 dues-paying members in Ohio and operates offices in Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland, has temporarily stopped offering help to clients in the wake of an undercover video shot by self-styled investigators.
From conservative standard bearers such as Glenn Beck to the administration of President Barack Obama, ACORN has been ripped over employees offering advice on ducking federal laws to buy and operate a home as a brothel.
75% of Oklahoma High School students can’t name the first President of the US
Posted by DarthDilbert at 9/20/2009 09:53:00 PM
Only one in four Oklahoma public high school students can name the first President of the United States, according to a survey released today.
The survey was commissioned by the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs in observance of Constitution Day on Thursday.
Brandon Dutcher is with the conservative think tank and said the group wanted to find out how much civic knowledge Oklahoma high school students know.
The Oklahoma City-based think tank enlisted national research firm, Strategic Vision, to access students’ basic civic knowledge.
"They’re questions taken from the actual exam that you have to take to become a U.S. citizen," Dutcher said.
A thousand students were given 10 questions drawn from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services item bank. Candidates for U.S. citizenship must answer six questions correctly in order to become citizens.
About 92 percent of the people who take the citizenship test pass on their first try, according to immigration service data. However, Oklahoma students did not fare as well. Only about 3 percent of the students surveyed would have passed the citizenship test.
Dutcher said this is not just a problem in Oklahoma. He said Arizona had similar results, which left him concerned for the entire country.
"Jefferson later said that a nation can’t expect to be ignorant and free," Dutcher said. "It points to a real serious problem. We’re not going to remain ignorant and free."
I was on my way home from work listening to the radio when the first announcements about the World Trade Center being attacked came in around 8:50AM. The initial report I heard claimed that a small single-engine plane had crashed onto the roof of North Tower (1 WTC). When I got home just a few minutes later and turned on the news I was saddened to see the horrifying truth.
My wife came in the living room to see what was happening and she asked what I thought about it. I said I had a gut feeling it was terrorism in spite of what they were stating at the time that it was a tragic accident. She looked at me in disbelief and asked if I was sure. Then from the right side of the screen we then saw the second aircraft come into view and strike the South Tower. My fears were then confirmed.
Keep this in mind as we remember our friends and loved ones who perished eight years ago today: democRATs saw the attacks by AlQueda during the 1990s as a law enforcement issue and not as a threat to national security. Emperor Karl Rove put it best when he said, "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers." They hate the fact that he was 100% correct. Their cowardice is still evident today in their wanting to abandon the mission in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Dayton Daily News's Mary McCarty: Factually challenged
Posted by DarthDilbert at 9/10/2009 12:41:00 PM
Nobody raised a ruckus when Ronald Reagan or George H.W. Bush spoke to our nation's schoolchildren, but when Obama attempts a similar address - benign to the point of banality he is charged with "creating a firestorm."
Mary, in the words of the infamous moonbat poster child Keith Olbermann, "I hate to intrude with the facts." On 1 October 1991, President George H.W. Bush spoke to the skulls full of mush at Alice Deal Junior High School in Washington DC. At the time, the democRATs who were the majority party in Congress "not only denounced Bush's speech" but they "also ordered the General Accounting Office to investigate its production and later summoned top Bush administration officials to Capitol Hill for an extensive hearing on the issue."
Allow me to educate you on something that you along with the inept Obama Administration is ignorant to. It's called a search engine, and one that provides remarkable results is called Google (pronounced gōō'gəl). If you had bothered to use this or perhaps LexisNexis, I'm sure you would have stumbled across the story I referenced above as well as several thousand others.
The issue for myself and other Conservatives was never the speech, but the directives set forth from the Department of Education which directed skulls full of much in government schools to "Write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president."

Dayton Tea Party's response to President Obama's Address to Congress
Posted by DarthDilbert at 9/09/2009 09:10:00 PM
President Obama's Address to the U.S. Congress on Health Care Reform did not answer many pressing issues about his key proposal.
The President did not address the issues that are of concern to the American public such as tort reform, insurance availability across state lines, the estimated price tag for the bill, and how spending money would save money. The Congressional Budget Office predicted the bill would increase the budget deficit by $239 billion over 10 years.
"It's hard to take the President's pledge seriously on not spending more for health care reform when he supported bailout schemes and unprecedented deficits," said Rob Scott, President & Founder of the Dayton Tea Party. "This is nothing more than typical campaign-like rhetoric. He avoided specifics and promised everything."
Capitalism is evil. That is the conclusion U.S. documentary maker Michael Moore comes to in his latest movie "Capitalism: A Love Story," which premieres at the Venice film festival Sunday.
"Capitalism is an evil, and you cannot regulate evil," the two-hour movie concludes.
"You have to eliminate it and replace it with something that is good for all people and that something is democracy."
18,000 attend Tea Party at Voice of America Park in Ohio
Posted by DarthDilbert at 9/07/2009 10:54:00 PM
Some were clad in colonial-era costumes. Some hoisted signs or waved American flags. But the thousands who filled the lawn in front of the National Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 5, were consistent in their passionate plea for change.
Whether it was health care reform, a country at war, education, government bailouts, the national debt or Congressional term limits, it was the issues — not politicians — that took center stage at the rally hosted by the Cincinnati Tea Party.
The crowd continued to grow throughout the afternoon, and an estimated 18,000 people had come together at the event’s peak, according to Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones.
Jones said the crowd Saturday nearly doubled that of the Tea Party’s event he witnessed in Columbus, which drew an estimated 10,000 people to the state’s capital in April.
...
Less than a half-mile away at Cox and Tylersville roads, 20 demonstrators — also holding handmade signs — from another Butler County grass-roots group, Changebutler.org, advocated for health care reform.
President Obama's Address to Students Across America September 8, 2009 PreK-6 Menu of Classroom Activities: President Obama's Address to Students Across America Produced by Teaching Ambassador Fellows, U.S. Department of Education September 8, 2009
Before the Speech: • Teachers can build background knowledge about the President of the United States and his speech by reading books about presidents and Barack Obama and motivate students by asking the following questions: Who is the President of the United States? What do you think it takes to be President? To whom do you think the President is going to be speaking? Why do you think he wants to speak to you? What do you think he will say to you? • Teachers can ask students to imagine being the President delivering a speech to all of the students in the United States. What would you tell students? What can students do to help in our schools? Teachers can chart ideas about what they would say. • Why is it important that we listen to the President and other elected officials, like the mayor, senators, members of congress, or the governor? Why is what they say important? During the Speech: • As the President speaks, teachers can ask students to write down key ideas or phrases that are important or personally meaningful. Students could use a note-taking graphic organizer such as a Cluster Web, or students could record their thoughts on sticky notes. Younger children can draw pictures and write as appropriate. As students listen to the speech, they could think about the following: What is the President trying to tell me? What is the President asking me to do? What new ideas and actions is the President challenging me to think about? • Students can record important parts of the speech where the President is asking them to do something. Students might think about: What specific job is he asking me to do? Is he asking anything of anyone else? Teachers? Principals? Parents? The American people?
When I first heard of this, I had no doubt any longer that government schools are clearly being transformed into indoctrination centers. How soon will it be before the Ministry Department of Education mandates that so-called public schools be renamed reeducation camps?
I have never felt so strongly in the decision my wife and I made years ago to homeschool our two children. They have not only dismissed the labels given to them by supposed experts, but they continue to surpass each and every goal set for them -- each and everyday.
I refuse to have them subject to the same gross indoctrinatation as children have in countless totalitarian governments during the last century across Asia and Europe. How soon before children in our newly christened "reeducation camps" are required to sing songs praising Chairman Zero in the same vein that children in the Soviet Union sang for Lenin and Stalin, or children in China sang for Mao. As each day passes, I'm saddened to see how this administration is "fundamentally transforming" the Republic into one of those same totalitarian governments that caused so much pain and suffering for millions around the world. However dire the circumstances or events, I remain steadfast in my faith and the belief in knowing that the people of this nation will one day arise from their slumber and that this nation shall not perish from the Earth.
Update: 2 September 2009 / 7:27 PM For those who have their children attending government indoctrination centers, here is an absence excuse suggestion:
To Whom it May Concern:
When it comes to teaching my child about personal responsibility and life goals, I have determined that I am a far better teacher of those objectives than a President who has chosen to surround himself with known anarchists and terrorists.
Therefore, <insert child's name> will be at home on Sept 8th in order not to be corrupted by the propaganda that will be shown in his class room.
Update: 3 September 2009 / 7:53 PM From Ashley Webb: "I met with current Kettering School Board member, George Bayless, this evening and when I asked him about Tuesday's speech by President Obama he described the Superintendent's general plan. Given the circumstances, I think Jim Schoenlein has come up with a very good course of action.
The speech will be taped. No schedules will be interrupted and no classes cancelled to watch in real time. If teachers would like to use the video in their class, they will simply be required to demonstrate to the Superintendent how it relates to their curriculum and explain how they are going to integrate the video into their teaching plan.
In essence, Tuesday will be like any other for kids in Kettering Schools. Like it or not, teachers are always going to impart a certain amount of their bias. Learning to discern truth and developing a set of personal beliefs is part of the learning process. I am just glad to see that our Kettering City School District leadership chose to reinforce local control of our schools and did not allow President Obama and the Department of Education to determine what our kids will be doing next Tuesday."
Purcellville, VA - Recently, ACT published its results for 2009. On a scale of 1–36 homeschoolers scored an average of 22.5, which beat the national average of 21.1. "This is a remarkable achievement and shows that homeschool parents are successfully preparing their children for college," said Michael Smith, president of HSLDA.
According to ACT officials, research shows that high achievement on the ACT strongly indicates a "greater likelihood of success in college." Success on the ACT test also reveals that the courses taken by high school students to prepare for college have been effective.
A total of 1.48 million students took the ACT in 2009 which included 11,535 homeschoolers or just under 1 percent of the total.
The new ACT results also support the numerous studies which show that homeschoolers are out-performing their public school peers in K–12. The latest study from the National Home Education Research Institute shows that the average homeschooler scores 37 percentile points higher on standardized achievement test than the average public schooled student.
It has always been the position of homeschool advocates that the one-on-one instruction provided by dedicated parents is a more effective way to educate children. It's also much cheaper.
The average public school spends $10,000 per child per year whereas the average homeschooler spends $500 per child per year. Homeschooling is also growing rapidly. The National Center for Education Statistics, part of the Federal Department of Education, estimates that homeschooling is growing at around 7% per year.
Due to the success and growth of the homeschool movement Washington Post education columnist Jay Mathews recently concluded that, "Homeschooling is the sleeping giant of the American education system."
Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) is a 26-year-old, 85,000 member non-profit organization and the preeminent national association advocating the legal right of parents to homeschool their children.
