You got to love aging terrorists who want to become mainstream when their pal becomes President. Here is Bill Ayers first denying that he dedicated Prairie Fire to Sirhan Sirhan, and then saying he regretted the dedication and would rather have dedicated to the thousands of “political prisoners” around the world: (h/t Michelle Malkin)

Anyone want to guess who these prisoners might be? I’m thinking cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal would be one of them. Killing cops seems to have been his cup of tea anyways. Of course only when the press isn’t hounding him, then he calls the cops for help.

Students Who Want To Say Pledge Are Kicked Out Of Class

We’ve had these kind of lefties around for quite some time but now that the biggest lefty of them all has been elected President we can expect more of this kind of stuff: (h/t Weasel Zippers)

No one is sure when daily recitations of the Pledge of Allegiance fell by the wayside at Woodbury Elementary School.

But efforts to restore them have erupted into a bitter dispute in this town of about 800 residents, with school officials blocking the exercise from classrooms over concerns that it holds children who don’t participate up to scorn.

U.S. schoolchildren have long been able to opt out of reciting the pledge for religious reasons. But unlike other pledge controversies, this one centers on how and where schoolchildren say it, not whether they should.

“The whole thing is tearing our community apart,” said Heather Lanphear, 39, the mother of a first-grader and an opponent of reciting the pledge in the classroom.

The brouhaha in the Vermont school began in September, when parent Ted Tedesco began circulating petitions calling for the return of pledge recitation as a daily practice in the 19th-century schoolhouse, which has 55 children in kindergarten through sixth grade.

School officials agreed to resume it as a daily exercise, but not in the classroom.

“We don’t want to isolate children every day in their own classroom or make them feel they’re different,” said Principal Michaela Martin.

Instead, starting last week, a sixth-grade student was assigned to go around to the four classrooms before classes started, gathering anyone who wanted to say it and then walking them up creaky wooden steps to a second-floor gymnasium, where he led them in the pledge.

About half the students chose to participate, Martin said.

Tedesco, 55, a retired Marine Corps major, and others who signed his petitions didn’t like that solution, calling it disruptive and inappropriate because it put young children in the position of having to decide between pre-class play time and leaving the classroom to say the pledge.

“Saying the pledge in the classroom is legal, convenient and traditional,” Tedesco said. “Asking kindergarten through sixth-graders who want to say the pledge to leave their classrooms to do so is neither convenient nor traditional.”

The Principal doesn’t want the children who want to leave when the pledge is said to feel different so what does she do? She forces the children who DO want to say the pledge to leave, making them feel different. It’s ok when a right-wing fanatic child is isolated you see.

Sigh….

If a sixth grader has a problem saying it for political or religious reasons, such as saying “under God”, then they can not say that line. Simple fix. But to force those out of the classroom who do want to Pledge Allegiance to this great country is just so….well, Obamian.

Finally:

How Eduated Are Obama Voters?

“Promote then as an object of primary importance, Institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened.”George Washington, Farewell Address, September 19, 1796

Readers may recall the comical man on the street interviews the Howard Stern show did in New York City weeks before the election. Most of the Obama voters thought it was fine with them that Sarah Palin was running as Obama’s vice presidential candidate.

But if you thought that was just a fluke, or not a very scientific sampling of Obama voters, this poll (PDF here) taken by John Zogby and commissioned by filmmaker John Ziegler amplifies the point:

Zogby Poll

512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points

97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates

Results to 12 simple Multiple Choice Questions

57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)

81.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)

82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)

88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)

56.1% could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).

And yet…..

Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes

Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter

And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her “house,” even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!

Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.

Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we “gave” one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)

What’s worse is that a majority of Obama voters failed to know even the most basic facts like which party controls congress.

Think we’re overstating the case? See the video. It’s priceless entertainment:

More info at How Obama Got Elected.

If there was anything bad or negative, Obama voters immediately assumed it must be associated with Sarah Palin, even though it was not. 57 states??? I’m surprised this bunch knew there were only 50 states! And these folks never even heard of terrorist Bill Ayers!

Those interviewed didn’t know who Barney Frank or Harry Reid are. How can they be expected to hold these Dems accountable for their misdeeds when they only know what they have been told?

Where do these folks get their news? ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, NPR, PBS, Time, Newsweek, New York Times………Talk about media malpractice!
