Read the title, and find it not so shocking. If you think I am wrong, then you might need to revisit your history.
Republicans have disgusted me lately. I mean really.....but then so have democrats. This is to say, I am neither a liberal nor a conservative, which gives me an objective on the matter of principled politics. Here is my beef with both, especially when it comes to faith. Conservatives seem to think that they are carrying God's agenda. Democrats seem to rebel to this because in truth, conservatives are not carrying God's agenda. For me, it brings a struggle to do God's will that always falls short of the goal. There is no where on earth that we will ever complete God's agenda, or even completely come to know of this agenda., so why are the Republicans tripping with morality all over their agenda. I seem to remember, they like their Democratic counterparts are sleezies, and can lie and cheat, and be adulterous as the rest of the other parties.
But let me bring it back to the reason why I am writing this article. Lately, Obama Addressed school kids. "Back to school " speech. But off course, it wouldn't be a speech without parents (mostly Reps by the way) freaking out because they are afraid of Nazi germany repeating. Actually that sounds stupid just writing it, so I am not sure what they are afraid of.
I ask these same parents, where why they when President Bush Senior made similar assertions with the kids in 91. I mean, a republican says "Kids talk to me" and it is seen as an encouragement, but a democrat says the same and it is called propaganda, socialism, etc....
I mean am i the only one who is seeing hypocrisies in this, and the idiocy in the reaction to Obama's speech?
lets be fair, this event would have been so much tamer if Cable news hadn't just blown this out of proportion. Not to mention the newspapers.
Americans need to chill, liberals and conservatives alike.

Lol @ inconsistencies in american politics.
Do u honestly think they don't know they are being inconsistent/hypocritical? It's the way of the game buddy.Way of the game.
Actually, the funny thing is, they really don't. Spend sometime in DC, and you find some very disillusioned politicians
Politics is theatre. The critical issue in any theatrical performance is understanding your audience and pulling their strings. Consistence is only important to the extent that you want to be consistently reelected.
Look at the big picture and you'll realise that politicians are indeed consistent.
Enoch, you are right on that.
they are inconsistently consistent...in a matter of speaking.
