Love those videos

I loved those things growing up
They don't have them on TV anymore
I wonder if they help make a difference in the 80's to help Reagan get in office

Thanks for your visit and comments. :o)
School House Rock videos are fun and educational!

No, these videos are not shown on TV anymore.
I remember these being aired in tandem with Saurday morning cartoons.

Nowadays kids get commercials for pop-tarts and video games...

I do believe these videos helped to educate and shape the children of our generation. We have a greater appreciation of what place GOV'T was meant to have in our everyday lives.

God Bless!

Hey Jennifer,

Thank you for the Flowers.

I was flattered my post was read.

Posting my thoughts is new to me. I just started, mainly out of frustration of listening to the clueless people I meet on the street.

Again, thank you for the support

I have spoken to a few of the clueless as well...

In one conversation I was talking about the so called 'stimulus' package, and how it was not best for our country....their response,

"Don't you want the $1000 in your pocket"...

You have a very imformative blog, I hope others will read and comment.

Thanks for your visit, and God Bless you.

Hello, and Thanks for visiting! :o)

Those tunes are 'catchy', wish many others knew how valuable our Founding Documents are.

Go ahead, dawndawn, take a swipe at the 'crisis'

Thanks for posting these, I loved Schoolhouse Rock when I was young.

I'll never forget:

"Conjunction junction, what's your function?"

Thanks again, these were great.

Thanks for stopping by.

I'm glad to hear from another blogger who grew up when School House Rock was shown!

'Conjunction Junction, what's your function?'
was one of my favorites too.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I will be by your Blog this evening.

God Bless!

I'm glad you refreshed you memory in regards to School House Rock!

Nope, those type of educational shows are not on currently. Television has changed, and not for the good.

Is your daughter familiar with School House Rock ? There are many videos on youtube.

Have a great day, Cindy!
I appreciate your visit and comments.

classic cartoons

to bad is was born in '85. I barely remember much from those days except reaping terror swingsets and slides.
I have seen those cartoons once; too bad most people these days have no idea how our government works or even the politicians running them.

I missed these!

How wonderful these were!

And did you know that it was SAM ADAMS who wrote the "Rights of the Colonists" which was a phamplet that was distributed to all the other states, and it started with the right to Life, Liberty, and the Right to Property...This was before the Declaration.

God Bess Sam Adams! Who has a statue right in front of the basement Ladies bathroom...in Congress..which is where BILL CLINTON's should be placed!

Thanks for the video's!

Hello Eric,
Thanks for visiting and for your comments

...many children today are not educated in the importance of our Founding Documents.

And you're correct, many adults do not have a clue about our GOV't, or the politians they elect.

Stay Informed! And God Bless you!

Hi Jennifer

I love these things. I got the DVD a few years ago with the entire collection!

They should really have these on tv again. They really helped me, especially with the pre-amble. We actually had to recite it in 4th and 5th grade. I sang it!

Ha! You have the DVD also !

I bought it for the kids....haha.

What wonderful memories for you, singing the Preamble in grade school. I wonder HOW much students are taught of our Founding Documents toady ?...

In agreement, kids should be offered these shows today.

Thanks for sharing your comments, God Bless :o)

Hi Jennifer

Hey, lolly taught me about adverbs. I have to admit the one that I never really was the "bill sitting on capitol hill!" Maybe I knew something as a kid!

These were the best. Hey, I learned to count by 3 from and also conjunctions! They really should bring these back.

I actually got one last year for my sister. For the adults!

I love school house rock. I used to sing them all the time when I was little. The reason why they are not shown anymore is the liberals think sme tf the material is mean spirited and should not be taught anymore.

Hi Mike!

Yeah, the Liberals wouldn't want the kids to know of their unalienable rights...now would they ???

They want to remake America.

I pray for the patriots to ban together against the atrocity that's taking place in GOV'T today.

God strengthen us as He did our Founding Father's...

God Bless!
