Obama to brainwash students?

Jump to Comments
Warning: President Obama wants to brainwash students across the nation into getting the most out of their education, he said in a speech delivered Tuesday.

Actually, encouraging students to get the most out of their education is probably an issue that conservatives and liberals alike can agree on.

Even so, many conservatives are shaking in their boots - worried that President Obama has a sneaky plan to brainwash American students with his liberal agenda.

Before the speech was delivered, it was available on the Internet for parents to preview - for those parents who were particularly concerned.



If the speech is available for preview, do we really think this is about a hidden agenda?

It probably isn't, but why don't we take a look at the speech, for those who aren't convinced.

He begins the speech talking about his memories of his education, and the responsibilities of students across the nation to do well in school.

He also said how important education is for finding your strengths and talents.

Obama said there are no excuses for not doing well in school or getting your homework done - no matter what a student's circumstances are.

He provided examples of students across the country who have succeeded in their education despite moving from foster home to foster home, or even having brain cancer.

Then, he acknowledged that school isn't always easy, students might not always like every subject and to become really good at something takes practice.

Obama ends the speech by saying he is doing everything he can to get students the tools to they need for a good education, but at the same time, students need to do their part and fulfill their responsibilities as a student.

If you ask me, this doesn't sound like a hidden political agenda - just a genuine concern for the nation's children to get the education they deserve.

My Dentist and his family are from Hawaii and went to school with President Obama! It sad me that Scott Abramson,who is member of American Israel Public Affairs Committee, describes itself as the most important organization affecting the U.S. relationship with Israel. With a budget of $65 million, and membership now standing at over 100,000, it is no wonder that congressional staffers consider it one of the most powerful and effective lobbies on Capitol Hill. For too long, policies that support Israeli militarism and occupation have gone unchallenged. Political voices raising even minor disagreements with prevailing policies are silenced or subject to campaigns of intimidation.
I know that this equality, this oneness of the races, this love between the brethren, this better world, cannot be found only through the path of legislation and politics. It certainly cannot be found through the path of violence and killing, and the destruction of our young people. It cannot be found when the brothers are pitted one against another in useless. I know that to become a reality is to love, the supernatural Love of God! Love the person, even if you don't like his point of view!

Starving student faces the challenges of Ramadan

Abstract:
As a part of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, I, along with Muslims all throughout the world, have been fasting from sunrise to sunset for 30 straight days, since Aug. 22.

Ramadan is the ninth and holiest month in the Islamic calendar in which Muslims fast and purify themselves through good deeds and by offering extra prayer...
Ted Rudow III,MA
Christians probably know about as little about Islam as can be know. When we really think about it we realise how ignorant we are of both their religion and the people. About all we've ever heard has been the very negative and uncomplimentary propaganda by so-called Christians and Christendom and the Western enemies of Islam.
What good have you ever heard from the West about the Muslims? Honestly now, how much good have you ever heard about the Arabs, even before they became famous for their oil? I think the horrible impression that most people have had of the Arabs stems from the Crusades.
What little they remember is that the Muslims were some kind of fierce cruel warriors who the so-called "Christian Crusaders" had to fight to so-call "free" the Holy City, using just as much cruelty against the Arabs as the Arabs were accused of using against Christians. So it's about six of one and half-a-dozen of the other, only the cruelty of one was done in the name of Christ, sad to say, which is even worse, whereas the Arabs were really defending their homeland in the name of God.
Many Muslims have watched in anger as their fellows have been killed around the world. The Israelis have killed many innocent Palestinians, and the U.S. has supplied the arms for their slaughter. Muslims have seen the U.S. kill many innocents as well, first in Iraq, where they bombed and butchered tens of thousands in the Gulf War, and great multitudes since then in the siege of that nation through sanctions.

9/11 not quickly forgotten
Abstract:
Today is Sept. 15, which means that 9/11 was four days ago. It took me by surprise this year.

Well, not the fact that it passed. That happens every year. What got me was that it has been eight years since the attack.

It certainly doesn't seem like eight years ago when I turned the dial to KSJO early in the morning, bleary-eyed and on my way to Evergreen Valley College....

It's a time of reflection for many in the selfish western world. The towers have fallen and are yet falling--not only these physical towers, but also the towers of democracy and of the free world. Given the U.S. government's pledge to wage a war against terrorism, it is important to look at its definitions.
According to both the Department of Defense (DOD) and the FBI, terrorism is "the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives." The DOD definition adds that a goal of terrorism can be "inculcating fear," include the use of biological, chemical or nuclear devices as well as the act of "assassination." The latter would suggest that assassinating Osama bin Laden would be a terrorist act,
We all have heard the saying, "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." And indeed, Osama bin Laden and his comrades were hailed as freedom fighters in the 1980s by the American government. Bin Laden didn't carry out the attacks on the U.S., nor did the Afghanis, but they're bearing the brunt of American wrath and warfare, and the Arabs and Muslims of the world think it's unjust--and they're right!

Yes, Mr President!


Thursday, September 17, 2009

Dear Editor,
President Obama left little doubt last week that health care reform to him is a moral issue that needs to rise above the partisan bickering that plagues Washington. As usual, the Republicans are out to protect the rich - and to hell with the poor. The only thing they think of with their little narrow minds is, how can I hang on to my money, my investments, my big dollars in the banks to protect all my interests?

The rich are notoriously short-sighted when it comes to protecting their riches. They think by hanging on to them, they can protect them. You're going to have to be better to the poor, or you're going to go bankrupt.You cannot amass all this wealth in the hands of a few rich and get away with it (Luke 12:15-21).

Our country can't go on robbing the poor and helping the rich, and get by with it. That's what this American economy has been doing for years. We've been robbing the poor - not as much at home as we have even abroad, because of our high prices that they can't afford to pay!

Letters from our Readers: How America first got in this financial mess

Reform banking system

One year after the collapse of Lehman Brothers set off a series of federal interventions, the government is the nation’s biggest lender, insurer, automaker and guarantor against risk for investors large and small. Federal spending is a bigger share of the nation’s economy — 26 percent — than at any time since World War II.

Simply funding the banking system without reforming it is an expensive and dangerous game. President Barack Obama and Congress could truly fix things by dividing the Wall Street mega-banks under a new Glass-Steagall Act.

But will they?

But one year after the collapse of Lehman Brothers set off a series of federal interventions, the government is the nation’s biggest lender, insurer, automaker and guarantor against risk for investors large and small. Between financial rescue missions and the economic stimulus program, government spending accounts for a bigger share of the nation’s economy — 26 percent — than at any time since World War II.

The government is financing 9 out of 10 new mortgages in the United States. Under both the Bush and Obama administrations, the government, from the Federal Reserve to the Treasury Department, has flushed the banking systems and other components of the financial markets with $17.5 trillion worth of loans, guarantees, and other forms of support.
But in his speech on Monday, Mr. Obama has step up pressure on Wall Street to accept tougher oversight. Simply funding the banking system without reforming it is an expensive and dangerous game. Obama is capable of truly fixing things—by dividing up the Wall Street mega-banks with a new Glass Steagall Act. But will they? We have been deceived just recently."For thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived".REV.18:23b

Monday Sep 7th, 2009
Israel approved Monday the building of 455 settler homes in the occupied West Bank, a move opposed by its US ally and Palestinians but which could pave the way for a construction moratorium sought by Washington.
A Defense Ministry list of the first such building permits since Prime Minister Benjamin Ne­tanyahu took office in March showed the homes would be erected in areas Israel says it intends to keep in a future peace deal with the Palestinians.
There are some Jews who have a sense of fair-mindedness and realise that what their brethren are doing to the Palestinians in Israel is just as bad as what the Nazis did to them. The Jews went to Israel and stole the Palestinians' country and committed the same kind of atrocities against the Palestinians that the Germans did against the Jews.--Except for the Holocaust. But in Palestine, the Israeli takeover was a small holocaust for the Palestinians.

In a chilling forecast, the White House is predicting a 10-year federal deficit of $9 trillion — more than the sum of all previous deficits since America's founding. And it says by the next decade's end the national debt will equal three-quarters of the entire U.S. economy.

You'll recall that President Obama announced that he had found budget savings of $17 billion. The American empire is clearly overstretched and over-indebted. When an empire is new and fresh and growing, people believe in saving, hard work, and frugality. When an empire is old and decaying, they think the government should spend "whatever it takes" to take care of them. This attitude helps destroy the empire — thus making room for the next one. Americans have found a president willing to go along with history.

Instead of scaling down, he is scaling up. Instead of reducing America's indebtedness, he is increasing it. Instead of going for safety, he's going for broke. America goes on living in a fairy tale!

Why stop at abortion, Dr Charles?


Tuesday, August 25, 2009

Dear Editor,
Nary a week goes by without some Bible enthusiast chastising us heathens on our wicked ways.

Dr Clarence Charles implores the Jamaican authorities to enforce the biblical mandate on abortion in his letter of the same title. The success of the Cayman islands, he tells us, is directly due to the willingness of the people to adhere to God's laws on abortion.

In my intense search of the good book, I was unable to find this mandate. However, I did find other mandates that may yield immeasurable prosperity to the people of Cayman and Jamaica. I exhort the people of Jamaica and Guyana to follow the mandate of Leviticus 24:14, which dictates that blasphemers be stoned to death. We could climb to great heights of morality if, as instructed in Leviticus 20:10, we stoned to death all adulterers. If we follow just these two mandates, I guarantee that Jamaica would be the most prosperous country in the world.

So, Dr Charles, why stop at the so-called mandate on abortion? Let us not pick and choose from the Biblical buffet. Let us stuff ourselves with all the Biblical mandates.

A federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled that a Native American from Canada is not entitled to a religious exemption from prosecution for selling bald eagle feathers into the United States. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a two-year prison sentence for Leonard Antoine, a member of the Cowichan Band of the Salish Indian Tribe in British Columbia, Canada.
Federal program in the United States allows for limited possession of bald eagle parts by Native Americans. Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski wrote, "The government has a compelling interest in eagle protection that justifies limiting supply to eagles that pass through the repository, even though religious demand exceeds supply as a result.
What is more valuable human rights or animal rights? An unborn eagle or an unborn child? If you chose the unborn child, sorry you are wrong--at least accounting to the law of the land. U.S Code Title 16 section 668, the eagle takes precedence. A person who kills, damgages,tranports a bald eagle, its egg, or nest is subject to a fine of up to $5,000 or imprisonment for up one year or both(first offense) .
Whereas, not only is there no penalty for aborting an unborn child? Although the U.S. puts on a pretence and a hypocritical veneer of begin Christian, I frankly believe that the U.S. is more guilty than because she's had more Light, more Gospel, more genuine Christianity in the past,and therefore is more responsible! America is worse because she pretends to be religious and she pretends to believe in God & she pretends to be Christian when she's not!

Fourteen-year-old Juma Ismail lives 50 kilometers from the Mediterranean but had never seen the sea. The Palestinian youth had never set eyes on an Israeli civilian or an airport.
Juma’s horizons expanded this summer, when he left Jalazoun refugee camp in the Occupied West Bank with “Birthright Replugged” on a trip taking Palestinian refugee children to Israel to visit the villages of their ancestors.
The entire world represented at the UN and the leaders of Europe had all agreed on this also. World public opinion had also recognised that this was the only solution: That the Palestinians and their rights should be recognised as an independent Palestinian state on the Israeli occupied West Bank of the Jordan.
But they say,"That is Israel. We will never give up Jerusalem. But everything is negotiable. We want to talk, we want to negotiate."
Israel has been saying this for the last 61 years because she knows as long as she keeps talking and keeps everybody else only talking, nothing will be done about it!

"Mideast peace is unlikely in coming years - Israeli FM"

When the immigrating Jews were a very tiny group of guests in the Arab country of Palestine under the British, the Arabs, always noted for their hospitality, were usually kind and helpful and did much to encourage some of their settlements. But as their number grew and the Balfour Declaration was issued, pledging the world's Jews a homeland in Palestine, the Arabs began to see what was taking place.
The Jews were no longer considering themselves guests of the Palestinians Arabs but invaders of Palestine and conquerors of the Arabs, so fighting frequently broke out between them, in spite of all the British did to try to stop it.
Finally, during World War II, Britain issued the famous White Paper restricting Jewish immigration into Palestine for the duration of the war as Britain already had enough problems on her hands contending with Hitler without fighting with the Jews and Arabs, too, both of whom by this time were trying to throw off British rule and seize Palestine for themselves.
Britain finally had to pull out as she eventually did on May 15, 1948 under a UN arrangement to divide the land between the Jews and the Arabs. But it never worked. The Jews of Palestine immediately declared themselves the independent state of Israel and began launching a full-scale war against its Arab inhabitants, which still continues!
Although outnumbered ten to one, the Jews were plentifully armed with the most modern weapons and masterminded by the most brilliant minds of Europe and America. Western news media, propaganda sources and politicians fostered and favored this view, and even Christian religionists were persuaded that this was the long-awaited Biblically-predicted regathering and return of the Jews and ordained by God!
The Palestine-Israeli war is an American war being fought with American weapons for the American territory of an American colony - Israel!

Historian Robert Paxton, who is probably the world's pre-eminent scholar on the subject of how countries turn fascist.The word has been bandied about by so many people so wrongly for so long that, as Paxton points out, "Everybody is somebody else's fascist."



"Fascism is a system of political authority and social order intended to reinforce the unity, energy, and purity of communities in which liberal democracy stands accused of producing division and decline."
The U.S. is supporting of Communist Government,(ie-China), as well as lots of Fascist, Anti-Communist governments. The only requirement now seems to be not as to whether you are but are you pro-U.S.? As long as you're pro-U.S. you can be Fascist or Communist or who knows what, as long as you're at least pretending to be!
