George W. Bush - Communist?

Recently, conservatives here in the Pacific NW and elsewhere have been making a big deal out of a song about President Obama sung by some school kids.

Pam Dzama, the resident wrong-wing columnist in my local paper said, "Americans shouldn't idolize or deify their presidents". I wonder if she also advocates ending the President's Day holiday? I wonder if she thinks our state should change its name? I bet not.

One reader of her column compared the event to "the Hitler Youth Camps".

Another reader claimed that "a few radical teachers [are trying] to push their politics on kids."

One reader went way over the top, saying, "B.Hussein is literally worshipped by the blind sheople" and calling the song "O-Worship, indoctrination, brain-washing, mind-numbing SEDUCTION." Wow, what overblown hyperbole. I can just see the spittle flying from his lips as he wrote that.

RNC chairman Michael Steele actually had the nerve to stand up and say, "this is the type of propaganda you would see in Stalin's Russia or Kim Jong Il's North Korea. I never thought the day would come when I'd see it here in America."

I wonder how many of these folks complained about the school kids who sang hosannas to then-president Bush at the White House Easter Egg roll in 2006, praising him for the federal response to Hurricane Katrina?

Notice what also happened at that event. Before the song was sung, the first lady read the assembled children a book ("Will You Be My Friend: A Bunny and Bird Story" by Nancy Tafuri). When she was done reading, the President asked the kids "Did you like this book? Does it tell you about what people can do to help other people, what bird did to help bunny? Be kind to him and give him shelter."

"Give him shelter." There you have it, plain as day: President Bush advocating redistribution of wealth.

Clearly, George W. Bush is a Communist.
