Well, there goes that creepiness meter again.
And after you’ve sampled that little video of what is accepted worship in a public school, Michelle Malkin has follow up details on the woman behind the hymn, Charisse Carney-Nunes …
… Carney-Nunes is senior vice president of The Jamestown Project, “the award-winning author of the children’s books, I Am Barack Obama (2009),” and according to her biography, “a graduate of Harvard Law School, where she was a schoolmate of President Obama.”
Goodness, all roads lead to the White House.
Lyrics over the jump:
| Song 1: Mm, mmm, mm! Barack Hussein Obama He said that all must lend a hand He said we must be fair today He said that we must take a stand He said red, yellow, black or white Yes! |
Song 2: Hello, Mr. President we honor you today! For all your great accomplishments, we all doth say “hooray!” Hooray, Mr. President! You’re number one! Hooray, Mr. President we honor your great plans Hooray Mr. President, we’re really proud of you! So continue —- Mr. President we know you’ll do the trick Hip, hip hooray! |

Please, some teacher with balls somewhere, make a video of yourself teaching children to sing the praises of Ronald Reagan and Liberty and Individualism free of ethnicity, and post it to Youtube.

Salt Lick, I think a teacher would get in trouble for youtubing a performance of God Bless America.

And I really want me one of them “The Obama Administration: Let a Thousand Flowers Bloom,” coloring books when this woman Darleen gets them published. Mostly so I can color Obama in flesh tones.

Carin — the week after 9/11, my wife and I attended a long-scheduled group-sing (she’s into singing) at a local professor’s house. We sat down in his living room in a circle (yeah, I know some of you are already puking in your throat) and everyone got to pick a song. Before we began, one woman specifically asked we not sing “God Bless America.” It was an early sign of things to come.

Even FDR did not do stuff like this. The Roosevelt Administration hired Woodie Guthrie to write songs on big infrastucture and dam projects, not praising the “Dear Leader.”
I am glad my kids go to parochial school.
But if we are having songs to the Dear Leader, perhaps Obama’s
girlfriendformer staffer could sing this one.Comment by B Moe on 9/25 @ 5:03 am #

I never understood why some dislike God Bless America. Perhaps it is because Irving Berlin donated all the royalties to the Boy Scouts of America.

Crappy meter, horrible rhymes. Right up my alley:
Oh I wish I was in the land of ACORN,
IRS will fund your pay-porn
Look away, while we pay, every day
‘bama land
If you’d joined up then you just might’a
done ten years cuz you caught Al Queada
Run away CIA, USA
‘bama land
Oh I wish I was Obama
Michelle is hot
That Axelrod is such a god
Obama’s bod is yummy.
I’m gay, I’m gay, I wish I was Obama.

So let’s see if I have this right. In public schools our children don’t have to say the pledge of alliegence, and if God-bothery can’t take a moment for silent prayer…
But we can indoctrinate them into the Obama cult of personality; and my guess is they can’t opt out of this “lesson” plan…
I’ll just posit, what would the lefties had done if, in the wake of 9/11, the same had been done for Booooosh! Do ya think the NEA and AFT would have been down with that?
Comment by Laura on 9/25 @ 5:34 am #
alppuccino, U r makin’ ME look crazy! ROFLOL, Your rhyming is as good as the Obama songs! Looks like U may have a career. Did NEA and the WH call you yet?
Comment by Bob Reed on 9/25 @ 5:37 am #
And really, people like Nora O’Donnell, who just can’t see why anyone would object to their kids having to do this, need to think it though a bit more.
http://tinyurl.com/ycaxdza
What they don’t get is this: If your child is taught that Obama is the greatest-evah! then that leads to, at best, a chilling effect on you and your wife to engage in Obama criticism in your home, lest you have to go into long explanations of how Ms. Teacher was wrong; and god forbid that Ms. Teacher sunsequently hear about it, brand your child as the spawn of wingnutz, and have it effect the childs grades. And, at the worse end of the spectrum it could foment an early ideological and values schism between you and your children; one that is already being encouraged simply by the multi-culti, PC, morally relativistic usual indoctrination that is inherent at public schools today…
And did you ever wonder, amidst all of these notions of “tolerance” and moral relativism being taught our kids, how come if you as a family insist on conservative vazlues, that is not as good, or not tolerated, like all of the other “cultures” they have to embrace..?

Nice, LOL, job with “Dixie,” al, but I bet you can’t improve “Year of Jubilo.”
Words below. Tune goes like this.
Say, darkeys, hab you seen de massa,
Wid de muff-stash on his face,
Go long de road some time dis mornin’
Like he gwine to leab de place?
He seen a smoke, ‘way up the ribber
Whar de Linkum gunboats lay;
He took his hat an’ lef’ berry sudden
An’ I spec he’s run away!
Chorus:
De massa run? Ha ha!
De darkeys stay? Ho ho!
It mus’ be now de kingdom comin’
An’ de year ob Jubilo!
He six foot one way, two foot tudder,
An’ he weigh tree hundred pound;
His coat so big, he couldn’t pay de tailor,
An’ it don’t go half way round.
He drill so much dey call him Cap’n
An’ he get so drefful tanned,
I spec he try and fool dem Yankees
For to t’ink he’s contraband!
Chorus:
De darkeys feel so lonesome, libing
In de log-house on the lawn,
Dey move dar t’ings to massa’s parlour,
For to keep it while he’s gone.
Dar’s wine an’ cider in de kitchen,
An’ de darkeys dey’ll have some;
I spose dey’ll all be confiscated
When de Linkum sojers come.
Chorus:
De oberseer he make us trouble
An he dribe us round a spell;
We lock him up in de smoke-house cellar
Wid de key trown in de well.
De whip is lost, de han-cuff broken
But de massa’ll hab his pay;
He’s ole enough, big enough, ought to known better
Dan to went an’ run away.
Chorus:

Where is the ACLU? They won’t even let children say grace – on their own – in the school lunch room because it constitutes Government force feeding religious doctrine onto impressionable children.
Can we at least get the kids uniforms? The Hitler Youth had way cool uniforms!

The school’s response.
It’s only “about Obama” and their only complaint is it was recorded and distributed.

If you leave your children in a government school it is de facto child abuse.

We really didn’t want anyone to know about this yet.

DeVry University has now eclipsed Harvard in prestige, and all levels of academia. Soon, two box tops and a small shipping and handling cost will grant anyone with a degree from this tinkertoy university.

I seem to remember a story from several years ago, about a teacher refusing to hang a portrait of George W. Bush in the classroom. Wonder if that teacher is down with this?

I remember a story of a teacher who got in trouble for hanging a portrait of GW next to Washington and Lincoln in her classroom!
Really, having a picture of the president in a classroom is fine. Teaching kids American history and the Constitution is a must, including respect for the OFFICE of the president. But songs in WORSHIP of Obama?
ding ding ding on the creep-o-meter.

You missed in the 2nd song the line about “You’re no. #1!!” Vile – the indoctrination of children just like Mao, Kim, Stalin…..and all the rest of the 20th century tyrants! Pull your child out of the state-run schools! Now, before it is too late to de-program them….

Funny!!…..seems to me Harvard was the school that the teen pimp wanted admission to in “Risky Business” and was the school that admitted Elle Woods because of her sexy video app in “Legally Blonde” – farce? Perhaps. Or perhaps the parodies reflect reality, given what we’ve seen who emerged with Harvard degrees in our current administration…..

Duke ought to rethink that “Harvard of the South” theme. It doesn’t mean what they think it means.
The lacrosse fiasco made it a laugher anyway. Duke railroaded a few students. Harvard railroaded its president.

MediaMatters – Great objective source there, bored. Those comments were priceless though, I needed a good laugh. The “threats”, if they exist, have yet to be confirmed, and there is no evidence that Fox or anyone on the right made them, but I know that is one of the standard canards and memes that the Left trots out every chance they get. I especially enjoyed the commenter @ MM who claimed to have received death threats. While it was typing out its verbal diarrhea, it could have included the threats, and should have, but since they do not exist, it makes it more difficult to do that. I suspect death threats are being conflated with disagreeing with their children being indoctrinated.
