THE AGE OF OBAMA
This week Pres. Obama gave commencement address at West Point. As usual his speech, as spun out on his teleprompter, was about himself. After describing how bad off the world he inherited was, he listed the solutions that he was implementing to save the planet. Cadets gave only polite applause as he praised himself. He and his writers had expected wild enthusiasm from the Cadets; so much so that after he listed his accomplishments the teleprompter text had a pause for applause and then his humble follow-up line “ Wow, that was a lot of cheering.” But since there was no cheering he skipped the line but it remained in the pinted text that came from teleprompter. I am sure all those cadets begin their military careers with a black spot on their records. They never forget; I had a notation entered in my 201 file after I had some critical remarks I made to the Secretary of Defence published. They never forget.
Arizona Univ. Graduation School of Social Studies had Chicano Study Professor as graduation speaker. She ripped her version of the new Arizona Immigration Law up and down. Had not read law but knew what it meant. Never mentioned graduates. Honor students cheered wildly. Mediocre students sat there. But, the parents booed so constantly the dean had to ask for civil discourse ( he of course was ignoring that she was insulting them and calling them racists). Best line was an adult shouting “ get a haircut” which drew wild acclamation. She looked like she had a beaver clamped on her head.
New 6th grade social study text covers Declaration of Independence thus. “Furthering the concept that all men are created equal the Declaration” , totally ignoring that this is the FIRST ever political declaration that ‘all men are created equal’. And then moves on quote “ that they are endowed by their .... with certain unalienable rights”. See if you can remember the word that used to be where .... is? School district says certain words cannot be used in text or discussion because it might make some uncomfortable or excluded.
Senate has introduced bill today to have the words “mentally retarded” banned from all new federal laws and all existing laws are to combed for the offending words and are to be replaced by politically correct verbage.
All hail the Age of Obama
