What does Bush have to do with this story?

Deflection is a weak debate tactic.

The fact is the Leftist dominated academy doesn't produce nearly enough graduates educated in math, science, technology or engineering. Instead it pumps out a vast oversupply of liberal arts graduates. The situation is the exact opposite of what we could expect to find if the Leftists academics actually delivered a superior educational system.

This doesn't diminish what this teacher did, but let's not pretend for even a moment that it's something that only the left does.
I suddenly remebered unicorns eating the second grade class when I was in school! Poor things got awful constipation. I think it was the backpacks.

Let's pretend that we're not engaging in self-deception when we delude ourselves. The left turned on Bush like maggots on meat as soon as they discovered that war involved more than chanting slogans at photo ops.

And let's not pretend that right wingers didn't declare anyone unAmerican who didn't worship Bush's feet for several months after 9/11.

It's simply pointing out that when the other side does it it's somehow OK, which it isn't. It's not OK no matter who is doing it. People should be able to criticize the president any time they damn well feel like it.

If I remember correctly the right said something to the effect that politicians should not be disparaging the president on foreign soil, which is something that was never done, (or rarely done,) until Bush.

But, what I think you fail to see, or maybe refuse to see, is the teacher is not just saying you can't disparage obama, but that you could get arrested for it. If this is the level of teacher this country is putting out then we have a real problem.

Once again, that would be a delusional thing to assert. It is the product of a distorted memory.

Why don't you try to produce some articles from the time to support your position? I think you'll be surprised at the paucity of the material.

You must have had this teacher for years. Or at least one like her.

Take a look at the thread where the gov't took away money from a school for breaking it's rules and see who supported harming the kids education and who opposed it. Here's a clue THE LIBERALS SUPPORT THE FINING OF THE SCHOOL AND THE LOSS OF THE FUNDS FOR IT'S ARTS AND MUSIC PROGRAMS AND THE CONSERVATIVES OPPOSED IT!!

The next time you want to post something stupid, try going here first so that at least it rhymes.
