This letter came home with my kids today.
September 3, 2009
Dear Parents,
On September 8th, the first day of school for many children across America, the President of the United States will deliver a national address directly to students on the importance of education. He will challenge them to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for their learning. He will also advocate every child receiving the best education possible so they ultimately can compete for good jobs and live rewarding and productive lives in their communities.
Because this is the first time an American president has spoken directly to the nationa’s school children abou suceeding in school, U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, has encouraged principals, teachers and students nationwide to watch this live broadcast next Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. Students in Granite School District will be provided the opportunity to hear this address. If you have questions or prefer your child not to participate, please contact the school principal.
I’m going down to the school in person tomorrow to speak with the principal. My children will not be participating in this event.
I’m so furious that I’m having a hard time putting this into words. The sheer unmitigated gall of this man has no bounds.
The letter points out that “this is the first time an American president has spoken directly to the nation’s school children”. No kidding? That’s because every single other one was classy enough not to do anything this offensive. I would be offended if George Bush wanted to speak directly to my kids. In fact, I think if Bush had wanted to talk directly to our kids, the media would have had an apoplectic fit. Hell, I would have been ticked if Ronald Friggin’ Reagan had wanted to talk directly to my children. I never thought we’d have a president who’d make me look back and wish fondly for the integrity of Bill Clinton.
It isn’t your damn job. It isn’t your job to teach my kids about anything. You have no business influencing my children in any way, shape, or form.
This is asinine, absolutely asinine.  Obama is a Marxist. I despise everything he’s done. I despise the people he’s surrounded himself with, communists, eugenicists, and quacks, lunatics and sycophants of lunatics. I hate what he’d done to America, and I know that I’m not alone. Approximately half the country hates him. He’s pushed more controversial legislation in a shorter period of time than any US politician ever.  He makes FDR look like John Adams, and right now he’s embroiled in the middle of the most impassioned and hated piece of legislation in the last fifty years, and in the midst of that, he somehow thinks it is a good idea to come speak to America’s kids?
Let’s see… Isn’t influencing the youth something straight out of the socialist playbook? Oh, wait. I’m not supposed to call him a socialist, even though I’ve had a very simple challenge out to any of his supporters for the last month, and nobody has answered it yet. If Barack Obama is not a socialist, can you name five policies, regulations, or laws he’s pushed during his presidency that Karl Marx himself would not have approved of? I’m still waiting on that one, and until anyone can answer it, he’s a Marxist.
Listen, you self-righteous sack of crap, we don’t like you. We don’t like what you’re doing. Red State America hates your guts. We hate your policies. We don’t want Cap & Trade. We don’t want Socialized Medicine. We don’t want to you telling us what to eat, how to live, or what to feel. We don’t like your friends. We don’t like your advisors or your legions of czars. We don’t want the government to build our cars, run our banks, or our health. We don’t trust the government, and we especially don’t trust you.
Stay away from my kids.

Obama: One-Term King of Hell
July 22, 2009 by Larry Correia

I’ve decided that Barack Obama is probably going to be a one term president. Oh, that’s not just wishful thinking on my part, by watching him lately; I think he knows it too.
He’s pushed way too far, way too fast. He’s done more to advance FDR’s progressive agenda in 6 months than FDR managed in his first term. Obama knows he has no time to lose. This will be his greatest, and only opportunity to reshape the US into his utopian vision.
I think he also realizes that he doesn’t even really have 4 years. By pushing this hard, there will be an inevitable backlash, and the stupid party will pick up seats from the evil party in the 2010 elections. How many seats remains to be seen, but it might be enough to thwart the total revamping of America into Big Dumb Canada.
If you look at the actions of our government over the last six months, all they have done is passed or pushed legislation designed to accomplish the opposite of what they’ve said they wanted to accomplish.
We need to save the economy, so we’re going to yank a bunch of money out of it, tax it, and stick it into places that won’t stimulate jack squat except for Democrat political allies, and ruin the value of the dollar forever in the process.
We need to save the environment, so we’re going to tax America into oblivion, knowing full well that it will only drive the last of our manufacturing jobs overseas to countries who don’t care about the environment.
Healthcare is inefficient and costs too much, so we’re going to raise the costs by a trillion dollars, make it as efficient as everything else in the government, and in the process, we’ll also make it so that you’re more likely to die, live sicker, have less freedom, and end medical research forever.
The banks (goaded on by government regulation), were out of control, so we’re going to put more government regulation on them, hell, never mind, we’ll just take them over outright, and then force them to follow more of the same government policies that caused the problem in the first place.
The auto industry is in crisis, (while the non-union companies are doing okay) so we’re going to take that over too, throw more money at it, and then let the union run it.
So in six months, the government has grabbed the US economy by the spine, taken over the auto industry, the insurance industry, the finance industry, and is poised to pass the largest tax increase in history, and take over the medical industry. FDR was a piker in comparison.
So, what do every single one of these things have in common (besides not solving the problem they were floated to solve?). Every single one increases the stranglehold the federal government has on our lives.
Everything they’ve done has made America weaker, and the weaker and poorer we become, the more they hope we will come to depend on the government. The progressives would rather have total control over a pathetic shell of a nation than just be a small part of a great one. It is like that old adage, would you rather be a slave in heaven, or a king in hell?
Unfortunately, I think we took the king of hell and elected him president.
