Quoted:
Facebook person has this posted as their status- "It's Constitution Day. Federal law requires all schools that receive federal funds to offer an educational program on the United States Constitution every year on Sept. 17, the anniversary of the signing of the country’s founding document. Is this okay with people that have a issue with the President addressing the school children?" I replied- "It's important and the one of the cornerstones of our country. What kind of person would object to celebrating the most important political document of American, and perhaps human, history? Of course, I think Barry O's speech was benign and an apropriate thing for a President to do...." I swear to G-d, what the fuck is wrong with people? How are the two items even remotely related? There is no rhyme or reason to liberalism for the average pee-on. Just a bunch of random ,grabasstic, emotionally-driven, spur of the moment, not thought-out ideas. For the ruling class, liberalism gives them elitism. |

What is this obsession with 'ruling class' among many here? One moment they are driveling idiots and the next they are the ruling elite? |

The constitution is a historically significant document, and thus learning about it has ACADEMIC value (you know....academics, the reason our kids go to school). It is reasonable to expect that children learn about it from a historical, factual perspective. On the flip-side, Obama's address to the kids (and more importantly the potential 'suggested activities' that were provided by the WH and the opportunities for leftist teachers to inject their $0.02) is neither historically significant or academically beneficial in any way. Politics need to be kept out of the classroom, period. The constitution is not a 'political' document.

A president speaks to children about education. Presidents are expected to do that, if not so directly. Likewise, public educational facilities are expected to teach children about the Constitution. Public funds = the .gov can mandate certain material, that's what is has in common.
Looked at in a sterile, objective context, it's obvious. Hofstadter's essay on the paranoid style goes into it in depth, but it's only hard to see if you're buried in your own bias. |

You should have just replied with an analogy:
Obama speech goes with constitution day like apples go with airplanes. Arguing with idiots makes as much sense, anyway. |

Irrelevant tool- God forbid that the president has a message for school children to work hard and stay in school. Oh heavens to Betsy, little johnny might get brainwashed into a political agenda. Come on people, take your head out of your ass! Liberal Twatwaffle (male) Tim J: This kind. How many treaties has this country disregarded with the indigenous peoples whose cultures it has been systematically destroying ever since its arrival on this continent? Which countries clearly stated military agenda is to attain "full spectrum dominance"? What, exactly, is so great about unquestioned "patriotism"? I haven't even mentioned slavery, "manifest destiny", or nuclear weapons. You do the math. Just b/c this country has been better at squashing everything it possibly can in the name of GodTM doesn't necessarily mean that it is better for us, for the planet, or for anything. Think about it. Why do you refer to Barack Obama as "Barry O"? Is that pejorative? Good day. Tim J (Me) Liberal Twatwaffle- Yes, it's intended as being disrespectful. Guess I'm not an unquestioning patriot.... FWIW I am a Native American- Cherokee. So don't lecture me about the destruction of culture. You are saying, then, that because bad things were done by the government, the Constitution shouldn't be celebrated? The political document that recognized that government exists to protect the rights of the people? That enumerated individual rights and limited the scope of governmental intrusion into our every day life? That permitted the individual to determine their own destiny and success without interference from others? the First Amendment? The Fourth? Trial by a jury of peers? The right to face your accuser? Redress of grievances? That shouldn't be taught to children who are living under that political system? Really? What about all of the GOOD that's come from America? out of space........... Fucking liberal cunts- "This kind" fucking asshole. |

To truly understand the insane, is to become insane. A true, honest belief that socialism is better than freedom and capitalism, is a mental disorder. Not insanity, but a form of self-fantasy. I don't need to listen to leftist any more, I have heard that drivel for 30 years of my life, and the song hasn't change a single note in all that time. I also refuse to call them liberal, as a classic liberal was a libertarian at heart, and I consider myself a classic liberal. Don't waste time trying to understand, just appose them with logic and rational thought. It will not change the long gone, but it might rescue the lost and confused. |

Liberalism is a mental disorder and largely the result of substance abuse.

"The political document that recognized that government exists to protect the rights of the people?"
Well, it did CREATE the federal government. It didn't really recognize that it exists - it made it exist. Semantics, I know... but still.

I don't know of any better explanation for the "modern" liberal mind set other than maybe brain some damage from taking too many drugs.
