Ding Dong The Witch is Dead .......

According to at least one of the liberal TV networks, school teachers across this nation are agonizing about telling their “little darlings’ that Osama bin Laden is dead and that we shot him.

For a start, it’s their job to teach them to read, write and do math and Oh, let’s not forget the paramount goal of modern education namely, self-esteem. Well if that’s the aim of American teachers they’re doing a helluva job as it seems that so many kids are as dumb as a box of rocks but they believe they’re the cats meow.

Perhaps if we taught civics in school that might help and anyway isn’t it the job of the parents to at least play a part in their offspring’s education. As an aside, I always felt sorry for the parents of kids who were born around 1990 because their parents had to explain to a seven-year old what a blowjob was and why it was OK or not for Clinton to get one in the Oval Office depending on whether they had an R or a D in their resume.

Why is it so hard to tell children that there are bad people in the world? After all, every teacher and parent is eager to warn kids about potential molestation. During my childhood, I was in no doubt that Hitler and the Germans were trying to kill me and all my friends and family. And even if we'd tried to pretend that wasn't true, the reality and the evidence was all around us; shattered buildings and lost nights due to air raids. Kids don't just learn to accept this stuff, it becomes part of normal life. Heck we even played “English and Germans” instead of “Cowboys and Indians.”  


Children can handle reality and they can handle the existence of evil. Just look at the evil elements and the violence and death in so many fairy tales. Well now one more witch is no longer extant.

I remember when Obama was on the campaign trail in 2008 and was in his usual “Pollyanna” mode when he declared that he “would not create a martyr by sanctioning bin Laden’s death but would want him captured and brought to justice.” When one considers the hoo-haw which accompanied the proposed trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed can you imagine the furor that would ensue if a trial of bin Laden had been scheduled for New York City?

Fortunately for all of us, a couple of factors intervened. Firstly, bin Laden and his troops decided to fight and the commanders on the ground acted accordingly. Secondly, Obama has seen a little sense since 2008 and authorized those commanders to take whatever steps they deemed necessary.

Naturally Obama didn’t mention his personal epiphany and he also conveniently overlooked the part that the wire-tap provisions of the “Patriot Act” had played as well as the interrogation techniques at our facilities at Guantanamo and elsewhere in the world. For all of these and many others we should thank the efforts and the insight of President George W. Bush and his administration.


And let's not forget that, as recently as just a few years ago, the Democrats referred to Seal Team Six as "Cheney's Executive Assassins."

God Bless America!
