It wouldn’t bother me to have my kids listen to a speech from Obama. I would tell them that it’s probably complete BS and to not take it to seriously but they can listen. If even 1 kid thinks he/she should stay in school and get an education because of the speech, it was worth it. That link says that the parents don’t want socialist teachings in the classroom, I wonder if they know the political stance on all of the different teachers the kids deal with on a daily basis? ---

Glenn Beck/Rush Limbaugh/Sean Hannity/Bill O have created an army of barely literate zombie-like hicks that believe all of the bullshit nonsense they conjur out of thin air. They get these morons all fired up and then unleash them like a pack of wild, inbred dogs. ---

Funny how all of these same brain dead assholes heads would explode if you said one thing bad about Bush. YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT! IF YOU DON’T YOU’RE UNAMERICAN!!! THE COUNTRY IS IN A STATE OF WAR! IF YOU DONT SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT YOU’RE NOT SUPPORTING THE TROOPS AND YOU HATE AMERICA… IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE PRESIDENT, GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY COUNTRY!!! But Obama wants to have a speech telling kids to stay in school and shit, and they are up in arms. :bowrofl: ---
