The latest viral wingnut e-mail, sent early on Tuesday, reveals that teabaggers (with the help of the G0P) are organizing a nationwide “Keep Your Kid Home From School Day” to protest President Obama’s upcoming address to schoolchildren on the importance of studying hard and getting a good education.Funny thing is, you didn’t hear a peep from these nutjobs when the first President Bush delivered a 15 minute speech to the nation’s classrooms on the importance of avoiding drugs. You didn’t see any of them blowing a gasket when teachers were supplied with guides to help student’s interpret President Reagan’s Challenger Speech. And you certainly didn’t see Democrats pulling their kids out of school over either of those events.
Unless these people don’t want their kids to be encouraged on studying hard, there’s only one reason for them to have their children play hooky: an irrational fear of President Obama.
Their outrage over this speech is being fueled by the likes of Matt Drudge and Michelle Malkin and even the Republican Party itself, each of whom represent the crazy behind the crazies. They’ve completely lost their minds. Insane to the core.
Maybe if they spent more time in school instead of skipping it, they’d learn how to spell words like “oligarchy.”
WTF is wrong with the far right? Seriously, drudging up McCarthy-era fears? Gimmie a break. I personally like the Capitalist system … for MOST things. But where does this irrational fear of Socialism come from? Most of the World’s most successful countries are Socialist. Oh wait, I know … then they’d have to actually look out for the the people rather than their own pocketbooks or wealthy buddies. Grrr.
