Some Parents Oppose Obama Speech to Students - NYTimes.com
“The thing that concerned me most about it was it seemed like a direct channel from the president of the United States into the classroom, to my child,” said Brett Curtiss, an engineer from Pearland, Tex., who said he would keep his three children home.
“I don’t want our schools turned over to some socialist movement.”
And get this bit:
Mark Steyn, a Canadian author and political commentator, speaking on the Rush Limbaugh show on Wednesday, accused Mr. Obama of trying to create a cult of personality, comparing him to Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong-il, the North Korean leader.

How can a country with so many stupid people continue to exist? But as I write that, I consider th stupid, anti-progress superstitions that are taken for granted in many African and Asian nations. They're just as bad, and maybe worse, that the lunatic fringe in the U.S. But their nations live in backwards squalor. As, I'm afraid, will the U.S.
One more thing, G: Isn't it pathetic that these people are so unsure of their ideology that they're afraid that 20 minutes of listening to someone from "the other side" will be enough to fracture their childrens' minds? It's like the old Soviet Union (or modern communist China) where the thought of a dissenting viewpoint is SOOOOO scary that the commissariat must put its fingers in its ears and sing "La-la-la-la I can't heeeeeeear you!"
