Ok, we have Birthers, Deathers, what are these latest... Non-Educators ?? |
|
I'm just trying to wrap my head around this crazy fringe wingnut hysteria. The President gives a speech telling students to stay in school, work hard and study. And these nutjobs have a total freak-out... to the point of either banning it or pulling their kids out of school.
There needs to be a name for this latest Republican freak show.
I had several ideas, but only one addressed what they were actually freaking out about in a short, clear and direct way...
Here is a new word I made up (well sort of), and to me it just has a better ring than anti-education.
They are ...
Non-Educators
-- Someone who is adamantly opposed to US students staying in school, working hard and studying.

11. And don't forget gullible lie lovers |
|
Who accept a ridiculous story about box cutters, cell phones at 35,000 feet, and jet fuel melting steel, all coming from the proven liars in the Bush Crime Family.
Now those people are truly the nutjobs.

14. Right, steel either is infinitely strong or it's melted into a puddle. |
|
And my cell phone doesn't really work every day at altitudes over 20000 feet, I just imagine it and nobody ever got intimidated let alone killed with a box cutter. Gotcha. Thanks for setting me straight.

16. Its not a 'wing' anymore, thats what Republicans are left with now.. |
|
National Republican registration is down to 22%, thats all they have left.
After years and years of total control, everyone has seen what Republicans really are. Most people with any sanity have left the party, even to the point of officially changing their voter status.
The Republican party of 2009 is like a bowl of cereal...
What ain't fruits and nuts... is flakes.
Just sayin!

21. No such thing when it comes to a meme. Great Minds etc |
|
It occurs to me that any race of beings wishing for their offspring to be stupider than they were is headed for extinction.
It is not only natural but necessary that our children be smarter than we are.

isn't that the logical conclusion of being against staying in school and working hard?

22. Whoa, thats pretty good! |

That may even be better.
Like you said, pretty much sums it up.
Sounds like something Palin could easily go for!
