I thought it was just plain scary, the way that they encourage the children to worship G.W.
Personally, I find it 'just plain scary,' the way that they encourage the children to worship JESUS, let alone any more earthly entity.
THAT'S what I call indoctrination. Religion IS indoctrination. Fundamentalism REQUIRES indoctrination.
Last time I checked, school kids singing about the president was iether patriotic or satirical. (As I recall, back in the first grade, we sang some songs about Jimmy Carter that were hardly complimentary.) (They weren't TEACHER-LED though!)

But then, who really expects conservatives to have PRINCIPLES?!
[from wiki]:
In November 2006, Fischer announced that she would be shutting down the camp indefinitely due to negative reaction towards her in the film. According to Fischer's website, the owners of the property used for the camp shown in the film were concerned about vandalism to the premises following the film's release and thus will not allow it to be used for any future camps.
Grady & Ewing are HEROES, in my book.

How about bringing about a new age of REASON?!
In a sane and normal world this would end all the nonsense about this ginned up "controversy", but we know it will not.

If one weren't aware of these things and new only of the video with no context, it would be easy to see how one could disapprove of the event, as I did, or even be whipped into a hysteria about it, if you so chose.
But if your only source of info is Fox news and other right-wing outlets, you are responsible for your ingorance of such details. The reason you didn't hear the other side is because you chose an outlet that you knew wouldn't give it. The viewers of Fox take an active role in their own deception. Thus, when they, in their self-inflicted ignorance, parrot lies and half-truths of Fox news, I consider them to be active participants in the lying.
It is everyone's duty to inform themselves. Self-deception is every bit as destructive as deceiving others. We harm others when we deceive ourselves.
Remember FOX is also on in almost every hospital emergency ward, laundromat, diner, bar, 24 hour convenience store, where most people consume information like their fast food.
a sugar rush, no nutrition, but convenient
Oy, do you live in Texas too? ;-)
Those childlike brains are being indoctrinated by Fox everyday.
Most listeners to Fox have no concept about the responsibility of being an adult. They need to be led around and being told what to say. Fox is the "Khmer Rogue"...and Beck is just playing them as idiots because he can see one everytime he looks between his eyes.
And Tucker is still useless.
