What are you afraid of?

Obama speaking directly to school children is not only unprecedented it is alarming, and I'll tell you why. Firstly he is undermining parental authority. If all he wants is 'to encourage students to pursue their goals' why is he not sending a message to TEACHERS encouraging them to TEACH their students, which is, in fact, their job. Secondly, people may be throwing around the term indoctrination a little too much these days, but this seems to be a clear attempt at creating a cult of personality to me, by a political figure directly addressing school age children not in the presence of their parents.

It scares me that our political discourse has degenerated to the level that disagreeing with an elected official who happens to represent a cultural minority provokes being called a racist. This should scare everyone, irrespective of your opinion on the issues, who tries to have an honest, intelligent discussion.

President Obama is not my leader, he is my President and Commander in Chief. Words are important. The more you agree to compromise them the less important your voice becomes. I also strongly disagree with the term 'Czar'. Do not forget that the term comes from the name, Caesar, who also began as an elected official, then made himself Dictator for life, and whose adopted son became the first emperor of the Roman Empire.

These are my replies to facebook comments after I was called a racist for disagreeing with the president. All this after picking up my five year old from her radical, racist redneck, conservative evangelical Christian indoctrination school where she is being taught such radical and earth shattering ideas such as respecting authority while maintaining the right to question it, and, above all, to fear God because He first loved us and is holy and righteous.
