The talking heads on CNN, MSNBC, etc. foo foo the brainwashing comparisons 
saying "oh, little kids don't remember any of this."  I have to laugh and 
wonder if I am the only one who remembers being a kid. I have vivid memories 
of my dog being hit and killed when I was 4.  I remember the priest giving 
my aunt the last rites when I was 6.  I remember kindergarten and being 
called a spic and a wetback.  I remember lining up like a good little guinea 
pig for the polio vaccine when I was 5.  And, I remember all the songs and 
poems we were taught, including those from before kindergarten, in 
kindergarten and 1st grade and most of one in 2nd grade:  On the 18th of 
April in '75 hardly a man is now alive that remembers that famous day and 
year and the midnight ride of Paul Revere.  One if by land, 2 if by sea . . 
."

I'm not sure which of the groups teaching these songs bother me the most. 
There are now 4 or 5 out there of kids in schools *after* Shiny Things 
election.  Probably more, but I've only found 4 or 5 so far.  However, I 
think the ones that the parents were involved in bother me as much, if not 
more, particularly if you look at the faces of the parents in this one:

Or the Kids For Obama one 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH_OEepGvIc&feature=related  This one is 
rather obnoxious and I don't think appropriate to use the voices of children 
with the pictures that were used in this campaign video.

But the ones of high school kids might as well be the little brown shirts of 
Germany!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onXd8iH3OVQ&feature=related

Now, I know most folks watch about 30 seconds of these things and then click 
them off.  Watch them to the end.  The camo boys are all about selling 
Obamacare!  Is that what taxpayer dollars going to schools are for?
