The Cypress Times is running two reports on this controversy, one from Columnist Gary P. which is garnering a great deal of negative feedback from the left:  Barack Obama Wants Your Children And Is Coming For Them On September 8, 2009

The writer compares shows that Obama's move to talk to your kids without you is right out of the Communist handbook - separate children from God, separate them from their parents.  He also compares the Obama Youth to Hitler's Youth of the 1930's and to Stalin's Young Pioneers.  It's tough reading even for some Conservatives. 

The other article is an Op/Ed, Controversy Over Obama's Speech To Your Children Contines:  http://www.thecypresstimes.com/article/News/Opinion_Editorial/CONTROVERSY_OVER_OBAMAS_SPEECH_TO_YOUR_CHILDREN_CONTINUES/24287

Points out that Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush also did speeches targeting school kids, but notes that the context and circumstances were very different, and draws the ulitmate conclusion that if politicians believe their own children to be "off limits" they should respect the same idea when it comes to our children.

Over 350 Planned Parenthood Supporters RSVP For "Open" Town Hall Meeting

On Thursday, September 3 there will be a Town Hall Meeting on Health Care Reform headlined by Representative Sheila “Not now, I’m on the phone” Jackson Lee, Representative Gene Greene and other elected Democrats from Harris County. Both Planned Parenthood and President Obama’s “Organizing For America – BarackObama.com” have sent out notices asking people to attend. There has been heavy news coverage of these public meetings ever since members of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House first began holding Town Halls during their “Summer Break” from Congress. Democrats have been inundated by angry, fed-up, constituents all across the nation at these Town Hall meetings.

Those citizens who have turned out to protest, to exercise their rights as Americans, have been characterized by the Democrats as “mobs” and the Democrats have widely accused the protests and protesters of being “Astro turf” rather than “grassroots”. The Dems have been all over the place accusing the GOP of organizing the protests, no wait, it’s the insurance companies that are doing it – no wait, it’s “other” special interests – no wait, it’s that vast right-wing conspiracy at it again.

The Democratic party, and its leaders from Howard Dean (Chairman of The DNC), to Speaker-of-the-House and wannabe Prime Minister, Nancy Pelosi to Senate Majority Leader Harry (I’m how far behind in the polls?) Reid to President Obama have chosen to “blame” everyone in the phone book for the turnout of protesters at Town Hall meetings. Liberal lover of all the little people, California Senator (“Call me Senator”) Barbara Boxer blew the lid off the conspiracy when she noted that the protesters couldn’t possibly be real because they were well dressed. The horror! Well-dressed people posing as “You” the public.

Now, as a Town Hall meeting has been set for this Thursday at 6:30 pm at Houston City Hall’s Reflection Pool, it is being learned that there is indeed an organized attempt to “pack the crowd” with biased and politically motivated operatives in order to skew the public perception of what the real people (those poorly dressed “real people”) really think. That organized, shall we dare say “Astro turf” movement, is being spearheaded by the following groups: ACORN, SEIU (Service Employees International Union), MoveOn.Org, Planned Parenthood and no less than President Obama’s own “Organizing For America”. The interesting thing about “Organizing For America” is that you’ll find it at the following URL: http://www.barackobama.com. This is because what was once the official website of the Obama campaign is now a new group “Organizing For America”. Given the past function of the site and the URL, is it perhaps safe to assume that the organizing being done is less for America and more for Obama? You make the call.

This is an article from today's The Cypress Times (www.thecypresstimes.com)

North Korea Planning To Nuke Hawaii!  Will Wipe U.S. Off The Map!

The story first appeared in Japanese newspaper, Yomiuri Shimbun, quoting sources from Japan’s Defense Ministry saying that North Korea is planning to nuke Hawaii on July 4, as American’s celebrate independence day and our state department officials chow down on BBQ with diplomats from Iran, whose government is killing freedom fighters mercilessly in the streets. The current administration’s handling of foreign affairs now begs the question:   Is Obama cautious or cowardly?

First Iran.  In the past few weeks Iranians have taken to the streets to protest an illegal rigged election. World leaders have stood up to denounce the violence and to offer support for those freedom fighters.  All except one, or "The One".

Obama called the Iranian protests “a robust debate” until yesterday when, after being prodded by Republicans, he finally condemned the actions of the Iranian government and warned of “consequences” if the actions continued. When pressed by reporters, Obama either could not, or would not, define in any way the term “consequences”.  Cautious or cowardly?

Back to the islands.  Now there are reports that Obama has beefed up the “Missile Defense System” over Hawaii in response to the reported nuclear threat.  This is the same Missile Defense System that Obama has promised to scrap, and for which he has already cut the budget for further development.

Opponents of the Missile Defense System say it doesn’t work and is unnecessary.  So why deploy it now?  Will it be Aloha, Hawaii or Mahalo President Reagan for pushing for the Missile Defense System back in the 80’s?

To the high seas.  What of the mysterious North Korean ship, Kang Nam?  The ship is now in the Taiwan Straits and is reportedly on course for Myanmar.  The ship has been tailed for days by the U.S.S. John McCain.  Now the McCain has been ordered back to port and the U.S.S. McCampbell is tailing the Kang Nam, but to what end?

The ship is suspected of carrying arms or weapons, yet under current U.N. sanctions – and this is rich – the ship can only be boarded and inspected with the permission of the country whose flag is flying on the ship: North Korea.  Huh?  That is the U.N. at its finest.

Amidst reports of possible nuclear attack on Hawaii, and another report saying that North Korea’s Chemical Warfare capabilities could be more dangerous than their nuclear capabilities, wouldn’t it seem reasonable to actually find out what the Kang Nam is carrying?  So why hasn’t a U.S. warship stopped the Kang Nam and boarded it?

North Korea warned that stopping the ship would be considered an act of war.  Today, North Korea said it will “wipe the U.S. off the map”.  Is the President therefore holding off because of the threat? 

Mr. Obama is now famous for having taught us all that "words matter".  How about words like, "Wipe the U.S. off the map"?  Do those words matter? Mr. President, silence speaks volumes.  Cautious or cowardly?

As the world waits and watches to see if we are on the brink of nuclear war, what is on the president's schedule?  Mr. Obama will spend his time tonight touting his unnecessary socialized healthcare plan in prime time on ABC.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned.  Will Obama smile for the camera and read his teleprompter as Hawaii burns?  We may not know for certain until the skies over Hawaii light up with something more than fireworks come July 4.

Cautious or Cowardly, you decide.
