Tea Party Summer Camp For Kids: "Government cannot force me to be charitable."
TAMPA — Here's another option now that the kids are out of school: a weeklong seminar about our nation's founding principles, courtesy of the Tampa 912 Project.

The organization, which falls under the tea party umbrella, hopes to introduce kids ages 8 to 12 to principles that include "America is good," "I believe in God," and "I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable."

Organized by conservative writer Jeff Lukens and staffed by volunteers from the 912 Project, Tampa Liberty School will meet every morning July 11-15 in borrowed space at the Paideia Christian school in Temple Terrace.

"We want to impart to our children what our nation is about, and what they may or may not be told," Lukens said.

5. The same families who worry about the president "indoctrinating" their kids by giving a speech to

school children....

happily ship their kids off to spend their summer with those Glenn Beck inspired fascists.

What is wrong with people? damn...

2. I just read the whole article.
I'm not sure if I find it scary or hilarious or both.

Some of the methods they use sound ridiculous, but maybe young children may be influenced by them. I hope not.

3. I wonder how many of these kids will sign up for the military like my
husband did when he was 17. Yes, 17.
