:wtf:

Did anyone else just hear that bullshit on MSNBC?

They are trying to make it illegal for teachers to ask kids what they want to be when they grow up?

These people need help.

1. Yup. What the hell rock did he crawl out from under. Where the hell did they find him.
If I was a republican, I'd be totally humiliated.

3. Invasion of Privacy??? They didn't seem concerned about it when Recruiters got lists of students
None of which had expressed any interest in the Army...

4. Dr. Nancy cut him off right in the middle of his stupidity.
Now we have Jack King (R-Stupid in GA) on saying Pelosi's name as often as he can.

Did you notice how the President has lost control of his message--because Chuckles Todd said so. I used to like Todd when he was uncertain of himself and being quizzed by Brian Lamb on CSPAN.

6. Sometimes it's better to appear to be an idiot than to open your mouth and confirm it..
That guy is the proto-typical wingnut. I know-nothing and I'm proud of it!

9. Truer words were never spoken.
:rofl:

Though I did see a glimmer of realization of how foolish he looked. Note to "simple" Americans, if the Republican party strokes your ego and gets you television appearances, they are using you!!

11. The guy is a Ron Paul drone...
If cell phones weren't a giant government conspiracy, he would probably pay his bill with copper stolen from construction crews.

12. I'm inclined to agree.
The Republicans are making a huge mistake letting these nutjobs speak for their party. So, I hope they keep doing it!

13. Apparently I should sue my school system for my entire education
Edited on Tue Sep-08-09 12:33 PM by shadowknows69
Considering some of the insanity being slung these days. I thought the first frickin theme you wrote was "what I want to be when I grow up". I guess asking kids to write about their summer vacation will be an invasion of privacy next.

14. RWers have been making a fuss over this "invasion of privacy" for years now. It's just another
attempt to keep their children's minds locked into what the parents have brainwashed them into believing. This sort of assignment encourages thinking, and RWers really don't like that.

16. My parents are both Art teachers. I'm actually really surprised they don't go after that.
Or the music or drama departments. Where better could kids' minds be "programmed" with "librul" ideals than these classes.

18. Well, face it, soon all literature which encourages sharing, honestly, and caring for others will
soon be removed from the curriculum by demand of the RW screaming over the socialist propaganda involved.

17. If anything it might help you see some warning signs in a child.
If you get back. "I want to kill the world when I grow up", you might just want to help lead that child to a more socially acceptable vocation. Just sayin.
