I have more conservative friends, relatives, and acquaintances than liberal, vastly more - and most of them turned out just fine. <br /><br />HOWEVER, your party has been hijacked by the batshit crazies, and it's getting worse every damned day. Birthers, Creationists, Jingoists, Nationalists, deniers of every stripe, gun nuts, anti this and anti that, the Palins, Becks, Coulters, and Limbaughs have stolen your party and they aren't doing you or you kids any favors whatsoever. They especially aren't doing <i>their</i> kids any favors, and in fact they are putting the next generation, at least those who they have direct influence over, at a severe disadvantage in a highly competitive world.<br /><br />Conservatives were afraid that Obama would "indoctrinate" their children into "socialism" with his one hour address to school children.<br /><br />Seriously? <br /><br />Real vote of confidence in your belief system there, when one hour by the Magic Negro can undo your entire lifetime of parenting. Really. Fear much?<br /><br />What we're talking about here, Cassie, is beyond reason, beyond logic, beyond common sense. It's fear, it's bigotry, it's bizarre, it's hate for hate's sake, it's insanity.<br /><br /><br />To answer your question regarding my reaction to Bush speaking to children: It is the same reaction as it is the current president. It is the duty of the President to lead, to set the example, to inspire. As much as I utterly despise George W. Bush, it was his duty as President of the United States to address the nation's citizens, including and especially school children - just as it is Barack Obama's duty to do so. <br /><br />And as much as I utterly despise George W. Bush, I took my son to meet him and hear him speak (We were invited as military guests to an address he made to military commanders) because he was the President of the United States. We stood respectfully and listened to him speak, though I disagreed with damned near everything he said and his speech patterns were like nails on a chalkboard to me - but we showed him the respect he was due, and when we shook his hand we did it respectfully - because he was the President of the United States.<br /><br />And as much as I utterly despise George W. Bush, I have both a military officer's commission and a certificate of military retirement hanging on the wall here in my den, beneath my sword and sextant - both are signed by President George W. Bush - and I display them with pride and honor. He was my Commander in Chief and I served him and the nation to the best of my abilities.Jim Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259550121437562338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-86001404809041360982009-09-10T18:28:11.250-05:002009-09-10T18:28:11.250-05:00My conservative, homeschooled son is now at a top ...My conservative, homeschooled son is now at a top engineering school.<br /><br />Just out of curiosity, what was your reaction when Bush spoke to students and Congress had hearings?<br /><br />Cassie, who was 15 when Nixon resignedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-82075576664412295952009-09-10T10:45:37.573-05:002009-09-10T10:45:37.573-05:00hehheh I don't think they're even that or...hehheh I don't think they're even that organized.<br /><br />I cracked up at the end...Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854671368992589012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-22513903819895423572009-09-10T09:20:37.527-05:002009-09-10T09:20:37.527-05:00Thanks for that clip, Karl.
