They are asking the wrong question and placing the blame on the wrong people.<br /><br />Instead, they should ask, "What has our glorious leader done to lose the trust of the people? What can we do to gain the trust of all Americans?" <br /><br />Obama just doesn't get it. He has done nothing to gain the trust of those who did not vote for him, and he has even lost the trust of many who did. Just about everything he has done has shown his lack of experience, his inability to explain complicated issues--like healthcare reform, and his incompetence as an executive in a democracy. This attitude of distrust is Obama's fault.Chicago Jakenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15405788.post-87401462121145330072009-09-04T23:13:53.883-04:002009-09-04T23:13:53.883-04:00Our school dist made a big deal about not showing ...Our school dist made a big deal about not showing this without previewing it and getting parent's permission.

Because really, this is one of the purposes of public education. How do Americans learn to be patriotic (i.e. buy into the whole "democracy and capitalism is great" ideology that is Americanism) if not from school. Family, of course, is another important source of this "indoctrination" also called political culture or nationalism or whatever degree/kind you like.<br /><br />As for this whole thing about socialism.
