Conservatives complain about a problem they created.

Conservatives are upset because (allegedly) College Board's new guidelines for AP US History leave out Benjamin Franklin, MLK Jr, and a host of other issues they would like to see taught in the classroom.

Conservatives have also worked to take due process away from teachers. Without that due process a teacher could be fired for almost any reason. If that due process remained in place a teacher could contact parents and say, "rest assured that I will be covering XYZ in our history class this year" and not have to worry about their job.

Conservatives have taken away those job protections, and if these allegations are true, teachers will have to follow the guidelines College Board sets out or fear losing their jobs.

Have they Blamed Obama yet?

Probably not until they get their talking points blast-faxed. That should be around Monday. AJ will probably make some spurious charges up between now and then.

And here I thought that was the preset default position.

There is NO BUSYBODY

and the above is BS

if it was up to us, all teachers would be FIRED and have to reapply every school year and PROVE that they deserve to be rehired

The fathers of faggots share the same sentiments. It seemed like a good idea back in the beginning, before the creep put on the dress.

Define conservative.

Johnny defines it thusly:

Gun-owners are insecure. They're bad people, hm-kay?

Gold is bad, you can't eat it, hm-kay?

Religion is bad because it embarrasses conservatives, hm-kay?

Government is good because of its regulatory powers, hm-kay?

True conservatives are on the cutting edge of Social Issues, hm-kay?

My ideal conservative is Nancy Pelosi, hm-kay?



So maybe you should be having a conversation with the true conservatives of the board or put some names to your straw man argument.

Yeah, she's an idiot....the big difference is she's not shaping policy, nor affecting the opinions of many on the left. Unlike those douchebags I posted pics of, the ones that SHAPE your opinions and policy.

I suppose I should have posted pics of the Fox News talking heads, Rush Limbaugh, and Glenn Beck too...

Who gives a crap? The fact is we ignore those dumbshits.........while you shape your opinions based on the wackos.


I always laugh at you fanatics here that claim you wanna think for yourselves, yet continually post the same old talking points over and over. Yer hilarious.

Nothing better to do on a Sunday morning than post quotes from nutters? You could go out and plunk some squirrels or something.

“I always use the word extreme. That is what the caucus instructed me to use this week.”
Senator Chuck Schumer

Juan Williams complaining about a problem he helped create:

“I used to think the left wing was the home of tolerance, open-mindedness, respect for all viewpoints…
But, now I’ve learned the truth the hard way.“

The big lesson for me [working at NPR] was the intolerance of so-called liberals. I say intolerance because I grew up as a black Democrat in Brooklyn, N.Y., and always thought it was the Archie Bunker Republicans who practiced intolerance. My experience at NPR revealed to me how rigid liberals can be when their orthodoxy is challenged. I was the devil for simply raising questions, offering a different viewpoint, not shutting my mouth about the excesses of liberalism — a bad guy, a traitor to the cause.

See? FOX NEWS. Thanks for proving the point that you have proven time and time again.

So respectful these liberals:

“They [the Republicans] don’t like the truth so they summarily dismiss it. They say it’s a government takeover of healthcare. A big lie just like Goebbels. You say it enough and you repeat the lie, repeat the lie, repeat the lie until eventually people believe it. Like blood libel, that’s the same kind of thing. The Germans said enough about the Jews and people believed it, and you have the Holocaust. You tell a lie over and over again.”

And I think Mike Pence said he's often – he wants to be concise, careful, and consistent. Well, that's somebody, who I will never mention again, who lived in a previous century who worked for bad people, that's what he did.
Representative Steve Cohen (D) Tennessee
