What Did the Voters Teach the Kids?
"Teach Your Children Well…"-Crosby, Stills & Nash
Do you think our kids watched, listened and learned these songs from the November 2006 elections?
"Diff'rent Strokes By Diff'rent Folks"--Sly and the Family Stone: Qualifications for education, school sports, jobs and justice should be based on race, sex and quotas; not abilities. Equality of outcomes is more important than equality of opportunities. Multilingualism is preferable to a common language for public discourse. Racial profiling for Islamic terrorists is impermissible; profiling little old ladies is okay.
"If It Feels Good, Do It"--Sloan: Any sexual relationship can be sanctified as marriage. Abortion is a valid form of birth control. There is nothing immoral about an abortion. Condoms and condom demonstrations belong in teenagers' classrooms. Timothy Leary had it right, "Whatever turns you on!". Banning the Boy Scouts is an affirmation of the tolerance of different life-styles.
"You Can't Hide Your Lying Eyes?"--The Eagles: Well, yes you can--Good GDP growth, low unemployment and stock market highs equal a bad economy…America and Americans are not generous enough in sharing their wealth with the world's and their own poor.
"When Johnny Comes Marching Home"-Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore: Saddam Hussein was actually a nice guy; it was wrong to depose him. ROTC doesn't belong at American colleges. Israel and terrorists are morally equivalent. American culture and morality is inferior to the United Nations.
"The Ballad of the Easy Life"-Kurt Weill: Corrupt politicians should be re-elected. Soak the rich is the way to go! (But, don't ask who's considered rich.) High tax rates are good.
"Faith of Our Fathers, Living Still"-Frederic Faber : Forget this one--Atheism, which in itself, is a belief system, is the only religion American's should tolerate-EXCEPT FOR ISLAM which is entitled to a place of honor and deference.
"And Know They Love You"?--Crosby, Stills and Nash
