The Right-wing wants to indoctrinate your toddlers |
|
Horowitz Targets Toddlers Right-wing activist David Horowitz has been leading an aggressive effort “to limit what teachers may discuss and to bring more conservative views into the classroom.” Now he’s taking his ideological campaign to elementary schools, middle schools and high schools. The Christian Science Monitor reports: “The last six months been kind of a watershed for the academic-freedom movement,” says Bradley Shipp, national field director for Students for Academic Freedom, a group founded by conservative activist David Horowitz in 2003. “It is going to filter itself down to the K-12 level.”
It’s an important battle front, proponents say, because younger students are more impressionable. http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/0606/p01s03-legn.html
Online groups like ProtestWarrior.com are already equipping youngsters with the materials they need to fight against “the liberal, bureaucratic, public school indoctrination machine.”

RepukeliKKKans are taking away the rights of people who don't agree with them.I hate this fascist country anymore.They've even started in on PBS by wanting to strip them of any funding because they are too "Liberal". They are not satisfied with having full power over everything....now they want to be in control of our minds....how we think,how we live. This is some scary,scary shit. Where the hell IS everybody? Why aren't we rioting in the streets? :hide: :scared:

13. My son-in-law is an ex-Army recruiter... |
|
and he actually recently got out of the Army, thank our lucky stars.
He was a good one who sometimes got in trouble for not bending the rules, so no flaming please. When he took the job, he had no idea Bush was going to start an illegal war.
I will see if he will tip off some of his buddies about this site, which appears to be a GOLD MINE of potential recruits.

10. This is not the first case, that I've seen |
|
where some wingnut freeper, who "hates liberals," takes all of their fashion advice from the counter-culture. We have one kid in what seems like a GD tribute shirt, and another sporting the Steve Prefontaine (has anyone noticed a surge in these shaggy hairstyles in pussbag frat and wingnut boys? What rock group is responsible for the hair, yet apparently not getting these kids' minds to "think outside the box?" They're a shitty rock group, if they're producing wingnuts).
At any rate, I'm also reminded of the fat guy with the shoulder-length hair and the goatee that had the "I'm not sorry," sign, disparaging "hippies." These kids are fucking clueless.
And now, egghead glasses are everywhere. If they hate us so, why do they support our fashion sense?

8. This shit has been going on for the past twenty-five years folks |
|
Why do you think we have an entire generation of young Bushbots and Freepers? Raised under Reagan, educated during the first wave of RW fundie school board invasions, a great many of these people were completely brainwashed in the Fundy/RW/NeoCon ideology. How do you think Bushbot, an upfront, stumbling, bumbling, incompetent, incoherent mental midget got so many votes? He borrowed Reagans "Aww Shucks" mannerisms, became the candidate people would most like to have a beer with, and voila, got tons of votes from otherwise intelligent people.
This is just the next step folks. They're growing emboldened by past success, and think that they can be more up front and public with their agenda. And the sad thing is that most of the sheeple will go "Baaaa", chew their cud, watch Faux Snooze, and think that this, as with all the right wing programs, is just fine.

14. Time for home schooling! |

This is the issue moms should be focusing on and rioting in the streets over-instead of the breast feeding hoopla.
