I’m getting sick and tired of the Obama administration using children selectively in order to help the president advocate his public policy positions. As I sat and watched his recent press conference, I finally understood his opposition to the Iraq War. It seems he and the late President Hussein are kindred spirits who share more than just a name. They share a sick penchant for using children as human shields in the middle of war. And make no mistake about it; America is currently at war with itself on many different fronts. As I sat and watched Obama surrounded by little human political shields, three things struck me as being especially hypocritical:
1. Just a few years ago, the president would have supported murdering all of those children by dismemberment.
2. The president would have classified their dismemberment as "health care" within a comprehensive reform package necessary to preserve the well-being of children, and finally
3. All the children at the press conference were protected from being murdered at that particular moment by government agents carrying concealed weapons.
But it got worse as the day went on. ABC News and other outlets began circulating letters written to Obama by children wishing to weigh in on current public policy debates. That's normal, of course. Children always weigh in on public policy debates without being prodded by liberal parents who never left childhood themselves. And everyone knows it makes sense to base public policy decisions on the recommendations of children.
What people do not realize is that the practice of children voluntarily writing the White House is so common that the Obama Administration is having difficulty keeping the content of some of these letters from the press. Fortunately, I have a mole in the White House who has sent me some of these previously hidden letters - all of which were mailed by school children to Obama. In fairness, we are forbidden to assume that any of the following letters were written under duress from right wing parents or school teachers:
Grant writes "Mr. Obama, there should be some changes in the law with abortions. It’s a free country, but I recommend there needs be [sic] a limit with killing babies. Please don’t let people own abortion clinics or give money to powerful lobbies like Planned Parenthood. I think there should be a good reason to get an abortion. There should be a limit about [sic] how many abortions a person can have."
Julia writes "Even though I am not scared for my own safety, I am scared for others who are not yet born. My opinion is it should be very hard for people to be aborted in the womb. I beg you to work very hard to make killing children not allowed, not just for me, but for the whole United States."
Taejah writes "I am very sad about the children who lost their lives since 1973. So I thought I would write to you to STOP feminist violence. Thank you, Mr. President."
Right now, ABC, NBC, CBS, and the New York Times should be up in arms about the fact that these letters are just now hitting the press. They should also be outraged that it took a leak for them to get there. Clearly, the press has a right to know what all children - liberal or conservative - are thinking about important matters of public policy. With the help of the media, we could have curtailed the right to abortions - despite the fact that they are clearly written into the language of the constitution (right next to the right to homosexual sodomy and free birth control). After all, the president himself said “if there's even one step that we can take to save another child then surely we have an obligation to try."
If only the president valued the political opinions of all children equally. Then he might realize that every child has an equal right to life. And so many children could be saved.
THAT is one smart kid. I like that phrase regarding abortion.
The language used has too many words that "kids" wouldn't even know.
Just my take on it.

The article doesn't say how old the kids are, and doesn't it dawn to you that the parents are conservative and pro live and taught their kids right?
Add me to the ping list, please.
Adams is taking the pro-gun control letters that were reported in the press and editing them into pro-life letters. Though I do think it would be a great idea for pro-life kids all over the country to write in to El Presidente about this.

I just added you. :)
Thumbs up!
Not only is Professor Addams Pro Gun, he is so pro life. Plus he write satire. I am not sure if this falls under satire though
Bad Grammar *Arrgh* It should have been “Plus he writes Satire
A complaint (even against yourself) of BAD GRAMMAR should only come when it is obvious one doesn’t know the proper ‘grammar’.
Even when one attempts to proofread one’s own work, the MIND has a tendency to CORRECT what you are reading, because it KNOWS what should be there, and therefore that is what you ‘see’.
I would bet that half (at a minimum) of the people reading your post will read it as ‘writes’ the first time, and only notice the mistake after reading your next post making the correction.
That is why the best ‘proofreading’ is best done by someone other than yourself.
