Good post, Marie. It is depressing how things have changed.
Good find Marie! School is certainly different now and the PC crowd has completely destroyed any studen in government schools from aquiring an education that actually taches them something other than liberalism and passing tests that get funds!
Awww Daniel,
It was suppose to be somewhat funny, just something to lighten the atmosphere a bit.
Ken,
I know, Mikey cant get in a fight today on the playground without SWAT being called lol
Hi Marie,
J_G must still be comparing the two scenarios between this example of Liberal idiocies and the Ron Paul Nutwagons. LOL
She's probably scratching her head like me and saying to herself what the heck they seem like the same nutcases. LOL
Marie....I loved this post! I think because it is so spot on (there is my favorite phrase again). It's amazing what 40 years does to a nation. ACLU and the PC police have certainly changed things. I just hope my kids are far enough removed that this doesn't touch them, although I don't see how that's possible.
I know you meant it to be funny. But it's so not. These are the kids that will be running things in a few decades.
Well Jenn of the Jungle then what is your plan to see to it that this agenda of theirs does not come true.
Just remember Jenn of the Jungle the future is not set we can only do what we can do Legally I mean.
brilliant Marie!
Well shoot!
Now that I read it again I guess it is wrather depressing. I thought it was funny at first, but when you get right down to it, it is sad.
Been sent this one several times in my email.
You know what they say,the truth hurts.
Although, Marie if you don't laugh when you read it, you'll cry.I'd rather laugh.
Voters seem to have gotten what they've asked for by putting the same lame ducks back in office decade after decade.
I thought this was great! Humor is the perfect medium through which to deliver a stinging rebuke, and this hit the nail on the head. Thanks!
If you don't mind, I'm going to link to it!
Dan,
Me too, I would wrather laugh.
