Pat Buchanan on Hardball: "Parents send their kids to school to teach 'em about God..."

[Greyskye]

While railing about the video of the kids who sing the song about Obama, Buchanan said "parents send their kids to teach 'em about God... and see this on the internet and say 'what's going on in our schools?'"

What the hell country does Pat Buchanan live in where kids go to Public schools in order to be taught about God?

[YOY]

1. Actually we teach our child plenty about God at home.

The Easter Bunny and the tooth fairy too. There's only one of them we have the guts to tell her is a fictional character at age 3.

[and-justice-for-all]

2. Pat Buchanan is delusional asshat...nt

[XemaSab]

3. Pat Buchanan lives in 1953, that's where

:P

[YOY]

5. and not even the real 1953 at that but the Black and White TV one with Ozzie and Harriet.

You know that episode where the boys find out that uncle Vitter has been wearing diapers to the local 'tute! What wacky hijinx they have those Nelsons.

[Libertas1776]

15. 1953...A.D. or B.C.?

I'm betting on the latter.

[polichick]

4. That's even crazy for Pat. Good grief! nt

[Ian David]

6. Why do we still let Uncle Adolf on the TV? n/t

[Canuckistanian]

7. No, they do NOT

If anyone tried to teach MY kids about God in school, I'd give them an earfull.

That's MY job, and I'll thank the PUBLIC school board to BUTT OUT of religious instruction.

[Archbishop]

8. Did he mean Sunday School?

If not he is being dumber than usual, which is at the level of a cat that has suffered severe head trauma.

[Raine]

23. He meant parochial schools

they were taking about going to Catholic school.

[Shell Beau]

9. No, I will send my child to school to get an education about

math, language, science, etc. I will teach her at home about God.

[onehandle]

10. Well it's expected of religious schools. Which most private schools are.

Not defending the prick, but it's true.

[Cha]

11. Oh fuck that, hypocrite pat. My kids went to school

to learn a lot of things but not about religion.

This video the kids and their teacher made is awesomely creative!

[DesertFlower]

12. yes. in religious schools.

pat lives in his own little world.

[Raine]

24. and that is what they were talking about

when they attended Catholic school.

[DesertFlower]

25. thanks. i didn't hear that part.

[mitchum]

13. Pat, not all parents send their kids to be "educated" by sexually repressed harridans

I believe he is confusing parochial and public schools

[csziggy]

14. Damn - I missed it since every time Pat's face shows up I change channels

I've emailed MSNBC and complained about missing so much of their programming because they keep using that old delusional fart but he keeps on showing up.

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. Pat went to a Catholic school where I sure hope

he was taught about God.

But kids going to a public school should not learn of any particular GOD in school.

[DailyGrind51]

17. Pat, that's what "church", "synagogue", and "mosque" are for!

[Dappleganger]

18. Uh, not in this century.

I don't send our kids to school to learn morals, they learn those here at home.

Pat is a racist, bigoted fatass.

[no_hypocrisy]

19. Pat obviously never heard of "McCollum" and "Schempp" Supreme Court cases.

(No religious education in public school classrooms as part of the curriculum and no compulsory prayers as part of the curriculum in public schools.)

[City Lights]

20. No we don't, Pat.

MSNBC embarrasses itself by continuing to keep Pat on their payroll. His pink slip is long overdue.

[JMMendez1989]

21. Thats My Choice

I would teach my kids about God, you don't want a teacher doing it because he could tech him something in a different view than you. The only way God could be taught in school is by a club or an elective. Its a choice. Other than that. The parents.

How many times do I have to say it. The constitution says you don't force religin OR stop the practice of it. It has to balance out.

[Raine]

22. The reference was to parochial schools

and that's the whole point of that kind of school.

[anonymous171]

26. This is why I love Pat Buchanan. He shows us how far we have come

50 years ago that comment would have been considered a lot more benign and a lot less crazy.

[BlueIdaho]

27. Is he still alive? nt.
