Silencing debate: Obama and the prop-children
The White House, clearly short on intellectual arguments to ban guns, is bringing out the kids to do their dirty work…again. First he used the kiddie-shields during the signing of his 23 executive actions. Now the White House has produced 4 of the letters from the children('s parents) into videos.
Here's one example from third grade student Hinnah:
"Dear President Obama, my name is Hinna. I am a third grader in school number 8. I just wanted to tell you that I feel really sad also. I feel terrible for the parents who lost their children. Mr. President, can we do something which will stop all of these terrible problems?"
TheBlaze.com has the rest of the videos here.

Pat noticed how it's almost humorous how similar the children in the video sound to the impersonation he did of one of the president's prop-children.
Pat and Stu are far from alone in their disgust over the way this administration uses children as policy-shields from any kind of negative discourse or political challenge. TheBlaze's Will Cain made his opinion well known on CNN this week as well.
I cannot find an ounce of appropriateness in this. I find it despicable. I find it stomach churning. This is why: It's part of a larger narrative, which President Obama actually explicitly stated yesterday. And it's impugning the motives of anyone who disagrees with him. It's draping yourself in the emotionalism of the debate. Avoiding an intellectual debate. Avoiding the policy debate.
"Will Cain just destroyed you, Mr. President," Stu commented after hearing the audio clip.
So, what's the moral of this lesson? If you ever have any Constitution-violating, freedom-restricting legislation to push through Congress…just make the kids do it.
EXCLUSIVE: Poll reveals scary number of Dems support EXTREME authoritarian policies
Over the past year, an increasing number of voices on the left have pushed for radical changes to our way of life, from reforming capitalism to enacting strict vaccine mandates. But are the American people behind these changes? A recent poll from the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen sought to find out, and the results are startling. The three-part poll asked likely voters for their thoughts on the Great Reset (half said they don't know what that is), COVID-19 authoritarianism, and whether they prefer former President Donald Trump or President Joe Biden.
The Heartland Institute's Justin Haskins joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to break down the results of this exclusive poll, including the disturbing revelation that roughly half of Democrats polled supported shockingly authoritarian COVID-19 policies. For example, nearly half of Democrats polled said they think federal or state governments should require unvaccinated people to live in "designated areas or facilitates," or essentially camps. Nearly half of Democrats supported a proposal "to fine or imprison individuals" just for questioning the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications. And, when asked if people who refuse to get vaccinated should lose custody of their children, 20% of Democrats answered "yes."
But the poll showed some good news, too. Watch the video clip below for more details:
