The Ides of March cometh – and Obama will barely have 45 days in office – but the Republicans are still suggesting that America’s future downfall will be Obama’s fault! Future downfall?! What are these Rushphile neo-Nazis thinking”! The U.S. is already in free fall and it took the Bushies only 8 years to undo Clinton’s balanced budget and serve up an economic disaster.
But I shouldn’t be too tough on these neo-Nazi bastards – because like their imperious leader, Rush Limbaugh – they tend to be under-educated. As a matter of fact, I once read a stat that suggested that the average Democrat had 2+ extra years of higher education than your average Republican. And by “higher” education – I’m not suggesting that the average Democrat did more blow or smoked more weed than the average Republican. Hell! If I haven’t said it before – I’ll say it again – I have an eyewitness account of Dubya doing more coke than Al Pacino’s “Scarface.”
Republicans are starting to sound very Special Eddyish to me. After today’s “downtown” meeting – I was able to reassure Special Ed. Teachers that they would have at least one-more-year on the Obama stimulus package. But after that – I have no clue about the fate of American education – because it is all predicated on money-losing nonsense! Many-a-pundit has suggested that Special Education would spell the downfall of American education – because it is so expensive and no one really knows what the hell they are doing (and it eventually will – because the powerful lobby that effected P.L. 94-142 ). When you look at the constellation of symptoms that make up an ADD (really ADHD) diagnosis – you can easily discern (even if you are a Republican) that we ALL have the condition.
But one thing I know I have in common with the Republicans (in addition to concurrence with my father that the U.S. needs a dictator) – is that all American education should be conducted in English! I don’t give a flying fuck if someone who can’t speak English is attending an American School. They had better do everything in their power to learn our goddamned language! And if they can’t – then let’s have schools like those Indian Reservation schools – where we sequester those who can’t speak the language until they can. After they have mastered English – they can come join the rest of us! Until that time – a pox be upon them.
I think Brother Paul (an MSU communications major) and our Mother, have conspired to keep me off balance when we have discussions. They like to start off our recent phone conversations with fisticuffs – driving me on the ropes with contentions that all teachers suck, all unions are evil, and, Obama has irrevocably screwed up the country in his first 30 days in office.
I feel the Dark Ages coming on. Hell! I’m surprised they aren’t blaming the octoplets on Obama – after all, they were born during his presidency.
The wonderful irony spouted by card-carrying Republicans over the years has been: “America, love it or leave it.” Well, the way those richest 5 percent of Americans have been sending money out-of-the-country – I guess they don’t love us anymore. I, on-the-other-hand, am sufficiently socialistic to take on an 18% flat tax…
