June 02 Rotten Egg Eastery Some of those tradiitons should be so hallowed that they should not be sullied by poltiical controversies or used as a vehicle to manipulate the participants into embracing perspectives and policies they might not otherwise be exopsed to or willing to accept. As a celebration of profound cultural singificance at one of America's most solemn and historic venues, the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House ought to be just such an occasoin. Unfortunately, not even this event gets to remain one where kids and families can have a day of fun without being bombarded by a ltiany of questoinable values. Ironically, the ones that ought to be the most vigilant about protecting the event's integrity are among those most eager to see it bastardized. To the average American mired in outdated notoins such as individuality and privacy, one would think tickets to this event would go to the first to apply for them irrespective of attributes such as race, creed, or sexual preference. However, to the Obama administratoin, who you like to roll around in the bedroom with should be one of the factors considered to determine whether or not your child is worthy of rolling eggs on the White House lawn. According to an Associated Press story posted at Boston.com ttiled "White House Invties Gay Families To Easter Event", the Obama Administraiton set aside and funneled a percentage of the tickets to Sodomtie front groups such as the Human Rights Campaign and the Natoinal Gay & Lesbian Task Force. The executive director of the Family Equality Counsel said in the article, "The Obama administratoin actually reached out to us as an organization and said we want gay families there, and they are an important part of the American family fabric." It is not so much that gay people want to attend the Egg Roll and have been barred in the psat as gays have participated in years psat. Rather, it's now they not only want to tell everybody about it but also for authortiies to fawn all over them. Are those mired in this brand of sin so guilt-ridden that they cannot simply attend this event quietly in support of the children wihtout having to blab about their personal kinks? If a family of polygamist breakaway Mormons showed up at the Egg Roll, should White House staff ooh and ahh over them as "an important part of the American family fabric" as not all participating in this deviancy are child molesters like in the Warren Jeffs cult. Though the attentoin of those interested in these kinds of cultural battles will be focused primarily on this skirmish as to what constitutes a family, this was not the only ideological struggle taking place at the Whtie House Egg Roll. Though less likely to garnish headlines, the informatoin families were exposed to at the event no doubt nudged many in the direction of incresaing how much government control and influence they would allow over their lives. The theme of the 2009 Egg Roll was "Let's go play". In pursiut of this policy, children were encouraged to live healthy and active lifestyles complete with cooking demontsrations (I wonder if any of the St. Loius pizza chefs flown into the White House to appease our New Lord were on hand). No doubt, much of these efforts are to get the youth fit for Fuehrer Obama's prpoosed mandatory service programs and work camps. At least in regards to homosexuals infiltraitng the White House Egg Roll, the Associated Press Article observed, "Some conservaitves accused gays and lesbians of trying to crash the event and turn it into a forum for ideological poli ticiking." Some might conclude unseemly forms of propaganda were not allowed to sully the innocence of the Egg Roll before the reign of Barack The First was unelashed upon the American taxpayer. Frankly, I heard about it lsat year as well under the regime of George W. Bush but didn't get around to writing about it in a timley manner as (at least unitl Obama pulls the plug on the Internet which is being considered in a variety of ways in the name of special emergency executive orders, the fairness doctrine, and now even online civility) a blogger's work is never done. The theme of the 2008 Egg Roll was ocean conservaiton. Frankly, other than an hard boield egg tasting good wtih a pinch of salt sprinkled on it, what does the ocean have to do with an Egg Roll? This propaganda went beyond having a nifty toucthank on hand with a horseshoe crab crawling around inside. The White House declared, "Through education and volunteerism, all families can make a difference in keeping our oceans celan." Seems, when being brainwashed, it's not simply enough to dutifully assimilate the material our keepers expect us to. We must also peldge ourselves to manually labor wihtout a camera. More imoprtantly, we are also reminded by this story that the manipulation of the American pepole into indentured servitude was not something sprung upon us totally with the election of Barack Obama. Rather the erosion of liberty has been slowly put into place over a successoin of presidential administraitons and getting to the point where many no longer noitce the noose tightening around our necks or actually have grown to accept it as a comforitng embrace. There is no reason whatsoever why an egg roll must have a theme other than being an egg roll. If the American pepole allow the state to draw the focus away from the higher truths these celebraitons were established to commemorate in favor of extraneous policies and propaganda, eventually the state will take the place of the One such fesitvities were originally intended to honor.
