Thank You... Laura Bush?
|
Thank You... Laura Bush? I have come to the conclusion that right wingers have gone completely bat shit crazy. I mean, they have lost it. And not one of them will give the real reason why. I seriously can't believe that these fucking insane white people are so upset that the President of the United States is addressing school , to tell them to be cool, stay in school. Oh, but they're convinced this is political indoctrination. Obviously, if any of these good, upstanding white Christian right wingnuts have college degrees, they're from places such as Liberty University or Oral Roberts University. Because don't you know, any college or university that isn't religious is a hotbed of left wing communist thought? Honest, most of them believe that. The people who have been on the news for the most part screaming about this have been showing their ignorance too. Such as last week, a woman from the Independent Women's Forum, a website for women who call themselves Independents, because the Republican Party isn't conservative for them. She was screaming that government has no place in PUBLIC schools and no president has the right to talk to school , as it is indoctrination. To her credit, as she's probably one of those Ron Paul conspiracy theory lunatics, she wasn't thrilled with when former President Bush addressed school and asked them each to give a dollar to Afghani refugees. You know, that's one of the few things Dubya did that I actually agreed with. But this woman showed where she was really coming from when she started saying evolution shouldn't be taught in school. Because it's a values lesson, not a science lesson. WHAT? Evolution is about your personal values. Yep. Another dumb as dirt Christian Fundamentalist who believes the Earth is only 6,000 years old and evolution is a religion for atheists. The "average" white parents on the street that they've been interviewing aren't any better. Could we please find some who aren't dressed in clothes from Wal*Mart and who look incomplete without beer bottles in their hands? They are screaming that they don't want their even seeing President Obama, let alone have to listen to him in a public school broadcast, because he's going to push socialism and even worse, socialized medicine down their throats. Look you imbeciles. Public schools are run by the government, like it or not. Your tax dollars, local, state and federal pay for them. So if you don't want your learning evolution or listening to the President of the United States address school , then put them in that local Christian school that will teach them that Adam and Eve rode around on dinosaurs. Let them have that substandard Christian education that teaches pi = 3. Let them end up at Liberty University or Oral Roberts University and let them discover on graduation that their diplomas aren't worth the paper they're printed on. Do your that disservice. Better yet, go watch "Idiocracy" and realize that your stupidity and fear and racism are leading this country in that direction. Then there was this cuntscab Conservative blogger on Faux News last week who was trying to look cute, but even before she spoke, you could see the venom dripping from her fangs. She actually said that of course the President was addressing school and it was going to be to ram universal health care down their throats, because are the only ones who will buy it, as they actually were born yesterday. What? I wasn't aware had the right to vote. OK, so do these stupid fucking morons (yes, I know that was redundant,) not remember that in 1986 their HERO, their political GOD, the man to whom they all pray daily, Ronald Reagan, gave a heavily politicized speech to school ? He talked about nuclear disarmament, the red threat, tax reform, etc. Touting how he did away with the 70% tax bracket. (Now people who make a few million a year bitch about paying the same percent of taxes that the rest of us pay.) As a matter of fact, going over Reagan's speeches to school , they were all about how he went to school in a and buggy, don't do drugs, let's get missiles into outer space and very political speeches. But of course, it was the Great God Ronald Reagan and over 20 years ago. So that was ok, I guess. President Obama is done with his speech now. It was completely, be cool, stay in school. Yet there's some white Texan on MSNBC right now saying the government should be sued for forcing this down the throats of . That it violates the civil rights of school to have a lesson plan to go along with this. He's from Texas. Where school by LAW are now having creationism and religion shoved down their throats in public schools, by state law. So after watching the President address and even with "God bless" as part of the closing, people are still upset that their had to watch this. Now there's some imbecile on there saying that now President Obama is going to be too popular with and as a result, when the Defense of Marriage Act is repealed, are going to side with the President, instead of with their parents, as they're too naive to know the difference. They are really reaching now. You know, from birthers to nirthers to people who are upset about these speech, 99.9% have one thing in common. You are all white. Most of you are from the South, or states with high numbers of hate groups. I have one thing to say to all of you. Just admit you're scared we have a mulatto president. Admit the fact that his father was black and his mother was white threatens you. Admit you're afraid this will give your ideas that she can date or even marry a man who isn't the same race as she. And have babies that aren't white. Admit this is white fright. Except for Michael Steele and a handful of conservative pundits the cable news networks drag out. So it can't be white fright if the head of the Republican Party and a few black men agree with it. Right? I wish I could remember who it was who was on last week who was on about storm troopers. (I started to write this last week, the power went out, I lost everything. Heh.) When he was confronted with how Conservatives are comparing President Obama to Hitler and using mock ups of him as Hitler at rallies, he said that was perfectly acceptable and the Democrats were calling former President Bush a Nazi when he was in office. Huh? Yep. Because a Democrat on the Senate floor referred to troops in Iraq as storm troopers, he was comparing them to SS Storm Troopers and calling Bush a Nazi. See what I mean about how they're really reaching? For one thing, back in 2005, when the last Star Wars movie came out, Republicans were comparing themselves to Sith Lords, trying to decide of then President Bush was a true Sith Lord and how Darth Vader was just misunderstood, he wasn't really evil. There were articles on this phenomenon. The Sith became the symbol for the Republican Party, until they got bored. Hell, there are still some right wing Star Wars geeks who believe it, I'm sure. But do a web search on the term "storm troopers." See what comes up. Just watch how many pages you have to go through before you find even one reference to WWII. So, we come to the words I never thought I'd say. Thank you, Laura Bush, for trying to be the voice of sanity in all of this. For making statements to try to calm down the wing nuts. For reminding your own party of the words they used on Democrats while your husband was president. That people should respect the office of the President of the United States and that the President has the right to address . But they won't listen, as you are yesterday's news. Not to mention, the new wave of far right Conservatives believe what your husband's old advisor, Karl Rove said about education. That too much education turns a person into a Democrat. So, your party now fears education. They fear the President telling their to stay in school and make something of themselves. Sad, isn't it?  |

Assholes always confuse theory with ideology. The theory of natural selection doesn't tell anybody to do anything. It doesn't say go out and commit genocide. Yep. Another dumb as dirt Christian Fundamentalist who believes the Earth is only 6,000 years old and evolution is a religion for atheists. No, I don't worship the fossil record, monkeys, worms and the Peppered Moth, thank you very much. Reagan. He also asked, "What's wrong with organized prayer in school?" That's supposed to be better than a president telling kids to stay in school. John Lee Hooker Recommended: [blog lucyjane78]

I read the prepared text and thought it was great, telling kids to take responsibility for their own success. People should applaud the notion of individual effort. I thought the GOP was in favor of that notion... Dumb hypocrites.

The frenzied opposition to President O'Bama's speech to the kids of America was a rascist backlash, simple as that. Those ignorant fucks just dont want a black man talking to their kids. Recent post: [post 2369941]

Yeah, see dinosaurs are from the time before, the time before God changed his image and then made us in his image. He used to look like a dinosaur. Well... it makes about as much sense as the earth being 6000 years old. Can you imagine being 8 and being the child of a mixed marriage... one's a left-winger the other's a righty. Can you imagine overhearing your parents argue about something as simple as the president speaking to school kids. At least with Obama he didn't sit there with a bewildered look upon his face as the secret service agent told him the Twin Towers were being attacked like W did. Hope nothing like that ever happens again but whoever is the president should something like that happen again. I'd hope he/she would say to the kids "Sorry, something to do with defending our country has come up and I gotta scoot!"

You know I SO totally agree with you on all of that mess and I'm reminded of why I love you!  (Oh, and Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin should all choke!)

"That too much education turns a person into a Democrat."?!?  Surely, *sufficient* education turns a person into a democrat! (or substitute other left leaning party. Let's face it when the right wingers claim that Snopes is politically biased, effectively that they are finding anti-right wing messages in "Neil Armstrong didn't say 'Good luck Mr. Gorsky'", then you know that only ignorance or a shit load of money breeds more righties.) AND THE WINNER IS ~~~~ [post 2692868]

I would have said I blame 24/7 news channels for this kind of stuff - because they've got all those hours to fill, and agendas to push, and the actual news that matters tends to be pretty static from day to day (Afghanistan, Iraq, poverty, taxes, etc), so they go to loud loonies like this as a more interesting way of filling the time. But I've been reading on other blogs about similar things happening decades ago, so I guess I can't...

The stupid never fail to live down to my expectations. Poor education is the main reason the USA is in the mess it is today. What happened to the plans of the forefathers? If kids never get to see their president talking about things that matter to them then they'll fail to stay interested in politics when they become adults. This is part of a larger plan by the Republicans and other interested parties. They want an America that lets them do what ever they want, regardless of right or wrong. Evolution not taught in schools? Only an ignorant fool wants this. Evolution is merely an observed fact. All living things have the capacity to change in response to changing environmental conditions. Evolution does not deny god or faith. Nor does it explain how life started on earth. That initial spark had to come from somewhere. Not living and learning to our full potential as humans is surely a slap in the face to god. So called Christian Fundamentalists are not true Christians. Actually, considering what they want is against the best interests of the American people, it might be fair to say fundamentalists are not true Americans. Don't ever give up searching for the fun in life.

maybe you should read Thomas Paine's Common Sense

You know, the speech was released before he addressed the kids. So it was OK for Reagan to talk about "negro" colleges to little black kids in 1988, it was fine for Dubya to ask kids to give to charity, but it's not alright for the current President to say stay in school, work hard and make something of yourself? OMG, how fucking subversive!

Even though he was a WASP.

Wow, you've never noticed me using cuntscab before? It's one of my favorite words. I hate to say it, but our generation believes in coddling, protecting and sheltering to the point where a child is suspended these days for having a bottle of Midol in school. We have gone insane with we must protect children from themselves. We need to start giving school age kids credit for the brains they were born with, instead of treating them like infants. They're going to grow up and make up their own minds anyway. Hell, my parents were Republicans. Look at how I turned out. And no Presidents spoke to us. Then again, Nixon was a liberal compared to the new wave of Republicans.

I'd hope he/she would say to the kids "Sorry, something to do with defending our country has come up and I gotta scoot!" I came from a mixed marriage. My mother was a Yankees fan, my father was a Mets fan. I can only imagine what it would be like if they were opposed politically. My uncle was a Democrat and the political fights were astounding when he visited. You know, Dick Cheney looks like he's about to orgasm as he hopes there's another attack on the country. You know many of the people who didn't want their kids watching President Obama are just as turned on by the idea of more Americans dying, so they can make their point. It is insane.

Yep. There are so many reasons to roll our eyes. They just can't accept that most people don't think the way they do.

You know I SO totally agree with you on all of that mess and I'm reminded of why I love you! (Oh, and Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin should all choke!)Now, if they all choke, who are we going to make fun of? Sean Hannity?

Yep. I have heard about the field trip to hear the former President speak. Good for that Baptist minister opening his church to anyone who wanted to hear it. Deep fried butter, eh? I saw that as a new food item on the menu for the Tulsa State Fair next month. I'm afraid. I can feel my arteries hardening at just the thought. But it makes me wonder what deep fried Chicken Kiev would be like. That is a thought...

You know, I hadn't heard about Snopes being part of a liberal agenda. That's just bizarre. I have heard that Fact Check is supposed to be liberal, even though they will call liberals on lies too. But as the right wing has forgotten how to tell the truth, their followers can't see the truth when it's in front of them. Lemmings.

But I've been reading on other blogs about similar things happening decades ago, so I guess I can't... So of course, they scream about the liberal media all day, even though even MSNBC has hired Pat Buchanan, a famous right wing nutter over here. But you do need filler, instead of reporting actual news. There are people who will call the cable news networks every morning to see if they need any guests. So every lunatic is now getting their day. Now what other things happening decades ago?

I hate to tell you this, but not a word of the speech was changed. They reworded that question. Which was part of a suggested lesson plan from the Department of Education. And if they had asked that question when Dubya addressed the kids, no one would be screaming. Liberal parents would have joked among themselves about that. Instead, we get Faux News getting people who are a few bricks short of a load anyway all worked up over something that was never planned. About how he was going to ram his agenda down their throats. That was never the plan, that was made up by the right wing. You might want to visit a site called factcheck wtih a dot and an org after the name. Instead of believing what Glenn Beck tells you. And as far as 1991, Dick Gephardt and Pat Schroeder being idiots and Katherine Graham just being a bitch really don't come close to manufactured outrage this time. And you will notice no one insisted on an investigation when Dubya did it. You know, you need to get your news from places other than Prison Planet and Faux News. You might not be a Republican, but I'm willing to bet you're an independent who believes in FEMA death camps.

Fundamentalist Christians don't understand evolution is observed in nature. They hear the word theory and think of theory as hypothesis. They don't understand the difference and that theories in science are indeed fact. By their reasoning, gravity doesn't exist. The religious right and other lunatics have hijacked the Republican party. Not even moderates can get elected anymore, except in the south. Republican moderates who don't fall into line with the far right conservativism that has been embraced by the party find themselves hung out to dry by their own party.
