Mao, Castro, and that pansy in North Korea agree completely.
Where are the kids singing songs praising their country but being critical of the President? Somehow I suspect they didn't make the Glee Club cut.

"Hero. I have come to respect you"- Chrisisall, 2009.
They never have made the "glee club" cut. In fact, they're probably still in Gitmo, where they were sent during the Bush Jr. years, along with anyone who would DARE to wear a "Kerry for President" t-shirt to a Bush Youth rally. ;)
Funny, but you used to have different feelings about praising your country and being critical of your President, "Hero"...

In the beginning all the world was America.
I think people need to understand that American ideals are not the sole property of those of us living in the United States. If the freedom is the natural state of Man, then those truths we hold to be self evident must apply to all Mankind.
This country, this governemt has never claimed perfection. We claim only to be "more perfect". We recognize the importence of truth and justice. We seek to protect them and provide them to our people. Just who are "our people"? The answer is everyone, everywhere. The whole world has come here, every nation, every culture, every religion, has come to share in our vision. Sure we have our faults and bumps, but together we get by, we build, rebuild, and move foreward. That is the American Way.
Do we have the right to inflict our ways on other nations?
Yes.
Those are your own words. So apparently, you believed these things about America only when the Republicans were in charge, but you DON'T believe the same things when Democrats are in power.
I guess you just don't see Democrats as "Americans". Or even as "people". I mean, you say that we can "inflict" our ways (your word, not mine - it sounds like a disease or a punishment the way you say it) on other nations - but you don't feel that it's right to do the same here at home?

Ahh, Rue, thank you yet again...you do my work for me.
C'mon, folks, let's get real. A song sung by schoolchildren??? As the title says, kids sang about Bush, too...to see it as some kind of secret plot is just idiotic.
MANY of the things Obama and/or the Dems have done were done--sometimes even more often--by Bush and/or the Repubs. It's just such a toxic attitude right now that ANYTHING he does is condemned...and anything anyone does to speak well of him is condemned.
Yes, Sig, it's pretty absurd, isn't it?
Can't we TRY to get real? Give the little things their APPROPRIATE due and deal with the really serious stuff...bah!

Hell, don't look at me, I refused to stand and recite the pledge of alliegence back in 1978, and caught merry hell about it - even made the local papers.
My mom backed me all the way and eventually the school threw in the towel, soon enough it became a non-incident.
When I started seeing other students do this, and *make an issue of it*, I considered it social progress although most of the refusals I've seen have come from high school, rather than grade school, students.
The funny thing, and I been just waiting to point it out again, just in case anyone else had the brains....
Ahem - did anyone in this ask the kids opinions ?
The ones against it ?
The ones for it ?
You ?
Think on that, think HARD, people.
THAT is what I am trying to overcome before they shovel me in.
If a kid *wants* to do something like this, fine, if they don't, that's fine too - but asking them first would be a step forward, wouldn't it ?
They're not property, pets or livestock, they're PEOPLE and dammit we oughta treat em that way.

But, as "Hero" pointed out,

The parents understand.
What is it they "understand", exactly? That their kids being proud that a black man became our President is wrong? Is that what you want them to understand?
'Cause I don't ever remember you having a big problem with patriotism or support for the President until "the black guy" got the job.
Just sayin'.

Hey sockpuppet. First post, huh? Welcome to the verse, I'll expect to see your ident card soon. If the name's literal, I'm already laughing.
In case you're serious, this was started by Ms. Charisse Carney-Nunez. Also known as the "award-winning" author of children's book "I Am Barak Obama".
Going for a ride.
Hi AnotherSky,
This is my third post. Thanks for noticing that I exist. Can I not be a sockpuppet and also serious? Perhaps I am a concerned progressive poster with a hidden suspicion about Barry. I could also be a multiple personality. I recently saw someone take an agnostic position on their own existance. I am not a sockpuppet. I don't know where you'd get that idea. Of course first rule about sockpuppets is never admit that you are a sockpuppet. Unless it's never get involve in a land war in Asia. Oops. Too late for that.
I searched. Charisse Carney-Nunes, not hispanic, also authored "I have a really big ego" and something called "Brand Nu Words." Nu is naked. By context then, brand must mean corporate sponsored. This looks like a publisher.

They assure us no racial angle. Nappy must be about sleep
Barry has decided to become beloved leader before. There was a harmless class activity about worshiping Barack Obama and also sex ed for kindergarten. It does seem that he took no issue with her when she claimed to be him. Very strange. I would have thought this was identity theft. Maybe she is his sockpuppet.Oh, I am sure I can produce an "Ident card." Do we have those in the states now? No sense being a sockpuppet unless you can create identification. Perhaps I am Barack Hussein Obama.
Well, I take this songs sung by children very seriously. As a child I was given a role to take part in a school play. We were given songs to sing and lines supporting a political agenda. I did not really understand politics, but I could recognize it. I do not think I was "indoctrinated" into that belief system that I did not understand, but I did comprehend that I was being exploited. The teacher had an agenda, and was trying to influence the audience, who were parents. Those parents would then influence their children, my classmates and I. I was just happy to be in a school play, and so put my doubts aside.

Well, if the "birthers" get their way, everyone in the country will have to show their ID cards to go anywhere. That's what they're really pushing, ya know: RealID. Can't get it without showing your birth certificate, and gotta show it to prove you're a citizen.

Sig,
You keep on using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means...
Mike,
I think the identification that crowd is after is "have accent, will travel..." South to Mexico. Where the jobs are. And the warm water. White sandy beaches. Girls in bikinis. Um... wait, mexicans are coming to America *why* exactly?
Just out of curiosity, is the Mmm and in Mmmcookies or Mmmfashnik?
