GOP Chairman Jim Greer must really hate those who serve

’Socialist indoctrination’ means that anyone that gives of themselves for the sake of others, must be a bad thing and that must also include the people entering into political office. After all, aren't they supposed to be serving the public good? Isn't that what they keep telling us when they want our votes?

This man must also hate people that enter into the military since they enter into it for the greater good as well and to serve others. They surely don't risk their lives for themselves.

Then we have the National Guards, again, people going into that field do it for the sake of others.

Then police officers, again, risking their lives for the sake of others.

Then firefighters, yes, in it for the sake of others.

Then you have the others working in public service, all from tax payer funds and then others under non-profits like service organizations. Teachers, tax payer funded. City and town employees, tax payer funded.

They are the people you count on when you are in trouble or facing danger, the people you count on to defend this nation and the first people you think about when you need them but evidently the first people forgotten about when someone can use words to make a call to serve others as a bad thing.

As a Chaplain, committed to serving others, I find this deeply offensive. I was raised to do it by a Korean War vet and WWII uncles I had as a role model. They all enlisted to serve others. Frankly, I think Jim Greer's agenda has gotten way out of control because he'd have to be a fool to think serving others is a bad thing. I think he owes the people in this country a deep apology for what he said.




FL GOP: Obama’s speech to schoolkids ’socialist indoctrination’

UPDATE: After complaints about an Obama administration plan to have students’ lesson plans include an assignment on “how to help” the president — the White House has reversed course and says they’ll rewrite the primer.

Among the ideas suggested for pre-K to 6th grade students was to “write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president.”

White House spokesman Tommy Vietor told Fox News that new language will make “lesson plans clearer,” and that a planned Obama speech to students “is not a policy speech, but is intended to encourage kids to work hard and commit to school.”

Raw Story’s original story follows. The White House’s initial lesson plan (PDF) can be seen here.


The head of the Florida Republican Party says a speech President Barack Obama plans to give to the nation’s schoolchildren is an attempt to “indoctrinate” America’s youth into a “socialist” ideology.

“I am absolutely appalled that taxpayer dollars are being used to spread President Obama’s socialist ideology,” Florida GOP Chairman Jim Greer said in a press release.
