AUTO-EROTIC POLITICAL ASPHYXIATION

We are witnessing a pitiful display of emotional masturbation enhanced with auto-erotic political asphyxiation incited by the radical, extreme Right armed with the enormous power of a few entertainer-editorialists on Fox and radical, extreme right-wing radio. The deeply propagandized paranoiacs believe that the president's pep talk to young people to study and excel is somehow a sinister act of brainwashing!

The president's talk will be offered on the White House website and is strictly VOLUNTARY, of course, as to whether schools and teachers show it to students. Read the lesson plan, which no one has to follow--it is benign, folks!

I ask you: What will be the next fanciful, paranoiac issue de jour once Fox and the other purveyors of paranoia have exhausted this one? They have painstakingly cultivated the emotional ground while shredding all standards of journalistic responsibilty and patriotic decency to conjure up political fantasies to lead millions of the discernment-challenged into a frenzy.

Those of you advocating withholding your children from school because they could have a rare chance of watching a president speak to them about the importance of education to them and the country are doing your children the disservice of observing you in unthinking, reactionary paranoia. Are you equally concerned about the power of the radical, fearmongering right-wing media which are demonstrably dealing in outright lies?
