Education and Wingnut Doofery

I was watching CNN prior to the president’s speech and they were interviewing an old guy who said he objected to the address because the country was “becoming more and more communistic.”

Yeah, that doesn’t make any blinking sense at all.

And it occured to me that the people objecting most to this event were the people who were most in need of the message — a strong education and the values that accompany it.

    lol Bob.Is communistic a word? I would bet that guy wouldn’t know communism even if it came in and sat at his kitchen table.What morons these people are.

    It’s charming that the wingnuts are exploding into their Depends about the President telling kids to stay in school/obey your parents/make something of yourself (a very square, 1950′s America sort of admonishment if you think about it), but they seem to have no problem with the state of Texas deciding what will be in history books (or what will not be in history books) with their enormous purchasing power. ‘Cause there’s not indoctrination involved there. At all.And I’m starting a betting pool for how long it takes which douchebag Republican to Twitter first during the President’s speech this week. Who’s in with me?“Lol! Bary O says Hlth Cer impt! Communast! US haz bezt hlth cre eva! Daayum! Wite Pwr!!”

    What’s most annoying is that these are the people who voted for McCain and the media never asks them who they voted for. As if that doesn’t color their opinions. It’s nothing but sour grapes just like these stupid townhall morons!

    I’ll take that action – large bet on Sarah-sixpack. She has the most spare time, after all.

    “…a very square, 1950′s America sort of admonishment if you think about it…”It took me decades to realize it, but all that time spent watching “Leave it to Beaver” was…indoctrination. Damn you, Hugh Beaumont!!This has gone beyond sad. How do the ‘professionals’ at the cable news shows live with themselves about this kind of coverage? I mean, do they look in the mirror in the morning and think ‘yeah, I’m a total whore, but…’, but what?It’s like they’ve all swooped in to fill the void left by the departure of ‘Weekly World News’. Pretty soon we’ll be hearing how the Bat Boy feels about the indoctrination speech.

    yup Palin.

    I’m thinking more about which one will have just enough disrespect for the president to Twitter directly from the joint session. We know Sarah will leap on it, but which douchebag Senator or Congressman will send the signal to his constituents “I don’t have to sit here and listen to this man…”

    “…super-cali-communistic-expiali-docious…”…couldn’t resist…

    Wing-Nut FAIL!1 – Scream about the speech and demand that no one watch it.2 – A great deal more attention is placed on the speech and many more people watch it than would have otherwise.3 – Any, and every, sane person sees that the speech was a positive thing and that the nay-sayers are just ignorant, have sour grapes over losing the election, racist or any combination of those.Keep up the good work Wing-Nuts!

    It’s turned into the “Dumbing Down of America” season!!! And we’re supposed to trust our schools, administrators, teachers, to educate the students. It feels like my head is going to explode!!!

    But, but, but if the wingnuts’ kids see the President speaking in the schools, they may realize some of the batshit crazy they hear at home isn’t actually true.

  • Rogect8

    Hmmm…..I’d say Boehner, but he strikes me as the kind of asshat that doesn’t write his own tweets. Actually, I guess that disqualifies my ‘Palin’ pick as well, because I’m reasonably certain somebody else is writing her facebook updates for her. She doesn’t have the wherewithal to figure out how to use twitter…probably too busy cramming her face with chili she made from a wolf carcass.

    Bob, this incident is a great argument for better access to mental health care, not just a quality education.

  • likala

    Over on Chez’s blog he had a great post about this. A commenter said something along the lines of only letting her kids watch it at home with her to supervise (paraphrasing)and how she makes sure her kids only get to see what she approves blah blah. Her very long comment was full of misspelled words. Chez pointed out how she couldn’t spell.Bwahaha, education FAIL.

  • likala

    @Rogect18It’s been speculated that Palin didn’t even write the death panel FB post even though she was gloating about how good it worked. That particular post, though, was too articulate for her.For some reason she’s been in hiding for over a month, lot’s of speculation as to where she is and what she’s doing on the Alaska blogs.But what’s evident is that anything attributed to her as being the author during all this time can’t possibly be from the word salad queen.

    I watched a couple of anti-education speech wingnuts on CNN. Their mantra is now ” Yes, the speech was non-controversial, but that’s only because of the loud noises we made beforehand.”

  • FrictionSoul

    I loved this line from the speech:”We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you don’t do that — if you quit on school — you’re not just quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country.”Quitters neatly describes every parent who pulled their kids out of school, and their kids. WHat did those kids learn today? You don’t have to go to school if the President has a speech about the importance of school.Quitters in this case are self-invalidating morons.
