The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[scaeagles]

Please show me where I was angry when I pointed this video out. The reason I pointed it out, as I did with another video I posted a while back, was to show that it perhaps wasn't so paranoid as many here accuse me of being in saying that educators, when given the chance, often time project their own political leanings onto students.

And WB, you sure sound a lot angrier than I do.

An individual educator projecting his or her political leanings does not mean there is a plot by Obama to create a brainwashed army of American school children. I reserve the right to still refer to that bit of delusion as "paranoia".

Damned right I am. When the President is insulted by a member of Congress in an entirely disrespectful, embarrassing and defamatory manner, I get pissed. I get pissed when children sing 'Assassinate Obama' on a school bus, and politicians start talking about seceding from the Union. (Which is treason, btw). I get pissed when people say "there's just something about him I don't like/trust/respect, without having any examples to back their stance up. (It's NOT racism, though- just.........something, something so apparantly intangible they can't put it to words, but the vehemence with which they proclaim their dislike is telling enough). As far the educators leaning left- I know plenty who don't. However, many realize that any funding they're going to get to relieve the drain on their own pocket books (and every teacher pays for stuff out of pocket, because the parents and districts can't or won't, but the kids still need the supplies, etc) is going to be more of a priority for the liberal lawmakers. Most of all, I get pissed at all the lies. If the truth doesn't work, spread lies. Throw enough mud, and it will stick. Guess what, Scaeagles? The Right aren't the only ones capable of getting angry. They've ruined this country, and all they can do is bitch about things that either haven't happened, are blown out of proportion, or are flat-out misrepresentations.

I'm also pissed off at a lot of religious groups, but that's for another vent.

"Often"? Nope, still paranoid.
