Here’s the thing.. I don’t really believe that my kids are in danger on “indoctrination” by this event. They are too young (K and second grade) to get caught up or even “inspired” in any kind of political or community service way.

I am also very secure that what I say and do is more influencial as to what is good, right and acceptable. In truth, this TV guy they call president is less of an influence than Ang from Avatar the Last Airbender.

However, I want this Leftist President to fail in his agendas…. and I want that to be known. I, and my family, protest his policies. In this case, by turning our back to him.

To be clear, I will be happy to support Obama on any issue where he reflects the spirit of liberty, patriotism and American Exceptionalism that is the heart and soul of the Republic. I wait with baited breath until I can find even one such policy or program to that effect.

In the meantime, I stand against Obama’s Hope for Change… I block his “Transformation” agendas… and I interdict his desire to “inspire” my children to his Vision of Community Service.

In bringing up John McCain’s VP pick, Sarah Palin… a cohort posited the following declaration in response to Palin being both Pro-Life and Pro-Death Penalty:

“No one can call themselves “pro-life” and support the death penalty.”

I address that statement as follows:

That is an intellectually unsupportable position. I understand you have picked a side to the discussion. I grant that and will not address it beyond that acknowledgment. However, you are mistaking your passionate conviction for your cause as rational conclusion.

“Pro-life” as a term reflects the idea that human life begins before the physical being of human offspring exits the mother’s body, and should therefore be protected as a higher right to life. Your concerns with THAT argument are irrelevant to your statement. Pro-life does not now, nor has every been meant as a pacifist concept of “life worship”.
