Obama to Address Nation's Children in School

[Lunatic Goofballs]

Wow are you seriously going to twist that around too? There weren't as many people who hated Reagan enough back in the day to actually complain, otherwise you might have gotten somewhere.

Oh, I see, it's not about how popular you are, it's that an action is only wrong if enough people call you out for it. Hence, as long as very few people COMPLAINED about what Reagan did, it was totally okay.

Reagan should've given people a clue about what he was going to say beforehand, sure. But your side didn't put pressure on him to, so he didn't. Period.

'side'?

Edit: According to some Republicans, the Democrats are the side for Presidents indoctrinating children.

The Left was the chief opposition to things Reagan did. The Right is the chief opposition to things Obama does. It's quite simple.

The Left was the chief opposition to things Reagan did. The Right is the chief opposition to Obama. There's a subtle, but important distinction there.

I'm interested in hearing which "side" it is that I'm on. Also, please tell us more about how the president should not be expected to do anything unless the opposition party forces him to do it.

I assume you're on the Left, against Reagan and for Obama. I could always be wrong of course. And I just said Reagan should've released the text to the press. It's funny how every other word I blurt out seems to be ignored.

If that's correct, it's quite grotesque. I suspect it isn't though. I think it's an attempt to rationalize recent batshit insanity.

There is quite a bit of name-calling in that post. Not a lot of rationale though.

So you admit your concern is purely partisan?

There is no name calling in there. I recommend you read it again slowly and if necessary, consult a dictionary.

And by a happy coincidence, we have demonstrated the difference between opposing a person and opposing what he does.

'Warning people' isn't the concern.... is it?

Yes, yes it is. So teachers and board members know what they're about to play for their classes, and parents know what the hell is going on in the classroom.

You want to know what's going on in the classroom? Go stand in the classroom. Don't impose your censorship on the President, don't limit his ability to speak freely.

You want to discuss it? Discuss it.

I find it amusing that the rightwing are so keen to inhibit free speech when they don't like it.

You don't have to name anyone. You are classifying the whole idea with those names.

So you admit your concern is purely partisan?

No, though I do assert that your concern about my concern is purely partisan.

Am I going to be outspoken about Reagan giving a speech to kids? No, that only hurts my own side. It doesn't mean I'm not concerned about it though.

Am I going to be outspoken about Obama giving a speech to kids? Yes, I want to hurt his side as much as possible. Obviously I am concerned about this.

I want all parents to stand by and watch what's happening in the classroom each and everyday. That's not creepy at all.

And I am for censuring certain things in front of elementary school children, you've got that right.

You don't admit that your concern is partisan..... but you do assert that your complaints are going to be shaped by not wanting to hurt 'your side', and by wanting to hurt 'his side'?





Is English a second language for you? Seriously?

Because I'm happy to expand on the definition of the word 'partisan' for you if I'm bombarding you with esoteric foreign terms.

Nope, keep twisting though. My outspoken concern and concerns I keep to myself are two entirely different things. I'm concerned that I have to might wet myself right now because I've really got to go, but am I going to announce that to the world? No. Am I still concerned about it? Yes.

I've done exactly that with my child's schooling' I've availed myself of all the course material, I've sat in on classes, and analysed what my child was taught.

Curious that you seem to think that would be a bad thing, and that censoring the originator of the speech is a better option.

Why do you hate the First Amendment?

There's nothing 'twisty' about it.

My question was about you being partisan -

Here are your words: "No... No, that only hurts my own side... Yes, I want to hurt his side as much as possible".

Your own words convict you. You are partisan. Worse - you are SAYING you're not partisan, in the same post you openly admit partisanship.

If you can't be consistent, at least be honest about it.

Do you mean censuring, or censoring? Because the word you're using has a different meaning than the one GnI just used.

That's perfectly fine. Try to recognize that it was a bad joke and move on instead of going off on a completely different tangent.
