This Is Conservative Social Activism...Now With Added Flavor Enhancing Ingredients! Driving the Left forward in confusion and disarray to their own destruction with a song in my heart.
"The “I Pledge” video we viewed yesterday included some messages about serving President Barack Obama. We apologize for any part of the video that was offensive to students, their families and staff. The video conveyed a message that people serve the presidency when in fact our elected officials serve the people. We respect the Office of the President of the United States but like all of our other elected officials, that office serves each of us as well. I sincerely hope that as participants in Wednesday’s event what you took away from the experience was to choose to make a difference in your world."Here’s an interesting observation.

“Sometimes I think I’m ancient. I’m afraid of children my own age. They kill each other. Did it always used to be that way? My uncle says no. Six of my friends have been shot in the last year alone. Ten of them died in car wrecks. I’m afraid of them.

Sometimes I go to the fun parks and ride the jet cars, and as they race along the edge of the town at midnight and the police don’t care, as long as they’re insured, as long as everybody has 10,000 insurance points, everybody’s happy.
Sometimes I just sneak around and listen in. I listen in subways or I listen at soda fountains.
And you know what?”
“What?”
“People don’t talk about anything.”
“Oh, they must,” he said.
“No. No. Not anything. They’ll name a lot of cars or they’ll talk about clothes or swimming pools and they’ll all say, oh, that’s swell. But they all say the same things.
Nobody says anything different from anybody else….It doesn’t mean anything. And at the museums, have you ever been to the museums? They’re all abstract.
That’s all they are now. My uncle says it was different once. A long time ago, a long time back sometimes pictures showed things or even showed people.”
“Your uncle,” he said, “he must have been a remarkable man.”
REMEMBER...THIS WAS WRITTEN IN 1950!“Oh, he is. He certainly is.”
