We say something socialist to school kids every time we tell them to call 911 when they're in danger. >_>

Not to mention we expose them to socialism when we send them off to public schools...
>_>
Seriously though, this red scare is annoying as hell. Europe is enjoying higher standards of living than us yet socialism is so evil, it makes no sense whatsoever.Socialism is the transition between Capitalism and Communism and we are on dangerous ground here in America.
It's not that It's more of a protest showing Obama they don't like socialisim. CNN has been known to lie. Watch this.

You're kidding right? Sourcing from Bill O'Reilly to get an unbiased view? The man who says that MSNBC is terribly left-wing, and then puts Fox News Network as the unbiased news corporation that is doing good? And his own shows TV ratings compared with ALL of MSNBC's? Yeah, that's definitely the way to go about convincing others that you are right.
It's unfortunate that Bill O'Reilly preaches to the choir. It'd be so much fun to see what all but the radical conservatives would say... if they had watched his show.
Um, no. The U.S. is nowhere close to a socialistic society and nothing Obama has proposed would turn us into said society. When our "leaders" take control of Healthcare, the financial sector and decide on which private companies thrive or fail (bailouts) that is is the foundation of socialism.[QUOTE="Unassigned"]

Socialism:
1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory.
3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.
Socialist Party USA:

If you think Obama or the democratic party is socialist it is very likely you suffer from a severe case of stupidity, And/Or you watch Fox News.

I heard that the O'Reilly factor has the largest audience out of all the major news shows at that time slot.LOL of the century.

What is wrong with these people? How did we get to the point where people are AFRAID of the President giving their kids a pep-talk to stay in school and to take their education seriously?
Republicans are trying to rally the troops (the concervative base) and are willing to go to any extreme to get it done. The ways they are dooing it are getting ridiculous. I can't believe how well it's working though -- my dad is always ranting about something like this. The reality is they are spreading FUD, which is hypocryitical concidering they used to blast democrats for doing the same thing. It's sad when a good message for childeren to hear can't be comunicated to them because of politics.[QUOTE="TirOrn"]

...and I had told myself I wasn't going to post anymore besides my joke comment in this thread. Oh well.
I was a bit weirded out when I heard the Pres.' main focuses was to ask kids how to "make America better" or something like that (don't the quoted part too seriously, I forgot how's it worded but it was in that scope).
Edit: Forgot to finish, then again it's probably (don't know what White House said it was about) the Pres. just encouraging kids to stay in school.
I don't think the speech will be some Stalinist speech, but you can't tell someone with a straight face that Obama isn't going to splice some of his leftist agenda into his speech along with all the academic encouragement he will obviously mention as well. Not that I have a problem with that, hes just exercising his right to free speech and there's really nothing we can or should so about it.He's gonna commify all the kids! someone stop him!!!

Here is the speech:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/MediaResources/PreparedSchoolRemarks/
In other words stay in school, don't give up and do something good for the country.
I really wish people wouldn't go nuts the moment they hear socialism. Its a great idea; instead of putting the control of the most important aspects of the economy (health care a great example) in the hands of people that only care about themselves, that aren't elected, and have no one to answer to, you give the reins to an elected government that must take care of the nation to keep their job and answers to the people.
Capitalism is contradiction; where it gives more freedom to the industry and economy it creates restraint because it allows individuals with a large control of the economy (no matter how they got it in the first place) to control our prices, health care, and even government just through using money.
A good example; my mom has cancer, the only insurance she can get forces her to pay more than 80 % of the price (over 400 dollars) after an initial payment of well over a thousand for her medicine. How in the world is this private insurance company good for her? They don't care if she wastes while they take every cent she has.
Capitalism is immoral, selfish, and for the religious ( I am Christian) a sin.

I read the first few paragraphs of it, didn't finish it because I figured I would be in school tomorrow listening to it. But its quite sophomoric of you to just start throwing out sarcastic garbage because if you actually read it effectively you would have detected some politics in the first few paragraphs. Notice how he mentions the fact that he didn't have money for school in Indonesia, making it seem like he (the poor) was working so hard, but the harsh capitalistic world was still holding him back. Leftist agenda #1 detected already in his introduction to the actual speech. Sure you can tell me that's not what he meant and just wished to describe his early life when he was struggling. But when your handling a speech of this magnitude, you can't exactly be obvious about the political points you want to get across, they have to be subtle.Capitalism isn't a contradiction. There are two types of freedom; negative and positive. Capitalism just places more value in positive liberty.I really wish people wouldn't go nuts the moment they hear socialism.

Good speach. it really made me wish i'd had a speach like that when i was in school. All i heard over and over again was to stay away from drugs.
If it helps even one student than it was worth it.

There are poor children out there who go to school in America, they do actually exist, and they need to be motivated if they are going to have any sort of chance of living their lives to the fullest.You must not understand the concept of Socialism. England is a Mixed Economy, so is the U.S. The United States school system is Socialism, Social Security is Socialism, Medicare is Socialism.Socialism always fails look what happened to England.

And please tell me how England failed?
Gotta love the replies in the article such as "I feel scared to live in this country." And them talking about forcing things upon the nations school children is right in line with right wing arguments concerning the use of the word God every morning in their reciting of whatever it is they recite. Hipocrits seem to come in all shapes, colours and beliefs.
It's pretty lame that all the Obama opponents have to go on is "he wants to socialize America". They feel that they must complain about something.

Second, why bother indoctrinating people who can't vote? He'd be better off doing a national address right before the mid-terms. And third, its not as if the conservatives don't force their 'family values' down everyone's throats at every opportunity. Unless, of course, they're busy having an affair at the time...Bourbons3The same reason you falsify a birth announcement in a Hawaiian paper. It is investing in the future. ;)

Second, why bother indoctrinating people who can't vote? Bourbons3
Well, obviously it's planting the socialist seed in the brains of 2nd graders. When they are able to vote in 10 years, they're going to remember this speech and vote Democrat because of "the nice Democrat" that spoke to them for 15 minutes in 2nd grade.
Even the congretional Democrats issued an inquest the first time Bush tried a speech to school aged children, tit-for-tat.
