This school speech and the reaction by conservatives has really gotten my dander up. In our local area, drastic measures are being taken to insure that the demands of the extreme reactionaries are met...previews of the speech by educators and parents prior to student viewing; refusal to show the speech during school hours (children can watch it at home with their parents); and citizens keeping their children out of school on that day so that they will not be 'contaminated' by the President's words.

In short, a complete lack of respect by both educators and parents for the office of the President.

I no longer have children in this school district, but I do have relatives in this district. This is from their web page:

I had planned on using my one diary for today to update my story about the Mad As Hell Doctors and their Care-a-van for Single Payer. And I will, at the end of this post. But whilst looking for some background information (ok, ok, I was perusing HuffPo), I found this story about Senator Diaz inviting SARAH PALIN to testify in front of the Senate Aging Committee hearing next week on "President Obama's proposed health care reform and the impact it will have on New York State senior citizens."

This is the intro to the Facebook page for the Mad As Hell Doctors.

There is a time for compromise - this isn't one of them.

You CAN handle the Truth

There's no nice way to say it. The financial cost of health care is killing our citizens, hobbling our economy, crushing small business, and threatening the solvency of our government. In the meantime, the Health Care Industry is spending almost two million dollars a day lobbying Congress and manipulating public opinion to accept "reform" legislation that leaves a vicious, for-profit system intact. The "public option" is a trap. We need real reform that finds immediate savings, controls costs, and accomplishes the moral imperative of true Universal Access.

Talk radio. It has become something of a game for me to listen and mentally debunk what the spin masters put forth on the airwaves 24/7. Hannity, Boortz, Beck, Levin, Savage. They all have their talking points and they pound them, call after call, into our heads. But what happens when those masters of disaster start helping their listeners plan for the coming revolution...in America? Where is the line between 'supposing' and 'inciting'? What I heard this morning was not only enough to make me sit up and listen, it was enough to spur me to pen my first diary.
