It is getting to be a difficult decision. When another member of the certifiably insane left goes whacky do I post it or not? Sure it is fun to watch in a "car wreck" sort of way... But after a while it is like picking on a retarded kid.
I mean, you don't go to the Special Olympics and laugh when a kid falls. Or at least I don't.
Kevin had the story below about a 6th grade teacher who made her students send US soldiers hate mail. The teacher was clearly a looney tune in her own right. But check out what another looney tune said about Kevin posting the story:
Anger Addicts Pile On an Eleven-Year OldThe Republican Attack Hamsters can't go 10 seconds without being pissed off at somebody, because if they let up for that long someone might notice that the Emperor has no clothes. Since it's a slow news day, they're all ganging up on a sixth grader.
The kid has an excuse for being stupid---he or she is eleven years old. What's the Attack Hamsters excuse?
Of course it never occurs to him the teacher is to blame... That would require rational thought or doing this thing called reading.
How much longer before the last sane rational person leaves the Democrat party? ... Or has it already happened?

"I'm a proponent of vouchers not because I "hate" public schools or p.s. teachers but because they have become a shining example of how a government monopoly, insulated and rarely held to meaningful account, devolves."

I'm assuming the last sane person left long ago, anyone capable of reasoning can see that the self-contradictory nature of leftism, for instance being a PETA member that's pro-abortion but anti-death penalty. I've threatened for years to open a restaurant with partial birth aborted veal on the menu and executions showing on a big screen TV, with all the chairs upholstered in fur for good measure. When they held their rally outside to protest me they wouldn't be able to figure out which side they were on. They wouldn't know whether to come in and order a cutlet platter to show their support for a cow's right to choose then threaten to kill me or pace back and forth out front with a Beef is Murder sign and threaten to kill me. Since the self-proclaimed Captain Normal has links showing support to all three causes he's far from normal, reasonable or sane. Yep, sanity jumped ship long ago in liberal land....

When you look at the kooks the democrats choose as leaders, can there be any wonder at why they produce some of the brain-dead comments they spew?
A simple example of how completely out of touch with reality is a comment that appeared on one of the left wing extremists sites. The writer (I doubt even the lunatics of the left would refer to it as a journalist) stated that nothing, absolutely nothing, happened in the US without the prior approval of Karl Rove. This fruit cake failed to acknowledge that it was posting on a left wing extremist web site and Karl Rove had made no move to have it shut down. Hmmm, wonder if the lunatics that run the site will now shut it down and say it was shut down at the specific instructions of Karl Rove?

Last summer, there was some article comparing the US to 1930s Germany. It was reprinted a zillion times. I got into an argument with someone about it and kept asking for their proof and they kept referring me to the same article but on different websites. They really believe this crap.
Maybe, we need to do unto them -- The LLLeft is trying to limited free speech! Since, Howard Dean became head of DNC our phones are being tapped. The LLLeft is working on a plan to open up conservative GULAGS the day after they win an election. The LLLeft is buying up all the stock in voting machines so they can fix the next election.

julie: in a best guess, I've concluded that the troubling inappropriate, inaccurate lobbing of that equation that you describe there, so prevalent among LLLeft, is due to the fact that there was not any PUBLIC education provided to a few generations now grown in the U.S. and Europe about just who and what 1930's Germany was and what the politics that arose from there were.
As in, there's a current genaration of misguided, uninformed people who were not provided with any information about the reality of the whys and wherefores of those times and so today misapply certain labels from those times to inappropriate sources today.
As in, there was a literal black out of and about the German Socialist Party for a long time out of disgust (an appropriate reaction, no doubt) but what it led to was that today, we see people who now don't appear to understand the origins of that disgusting time and the politics it spawned and so are encouraging and proliferating a misapplication of terms about it.
I dread having to express this, but the only way around this trobling trend by the LLLeft is to begin to expose the history of 1930's Germany (thereabouts) and provide accurate information about what the politics actually were and why they arose and when they did and how made possible by whom. Not to encourage information about all that so much as to discourage misinformation about all that in contemporary times.
Because, the German Socialist Party arose out of liberalism and the occult in Europe. It didn't arise among conservatives and people of religion in a sincere sense, but among the liberal elements run amok by, as is reappearing today, misinformation and fear among liberals. Not among conservatives, but among liberals and liberalism. It was a socialist movement born out ouf extreme socialism laced with occultist methods, references and fuel.

Let's put this into perspective, shall we? For every letter a soldier stationed overseas has received critical of the war, there are a thousand more filled with glowing praise and unwavering pride of their sacrifice. That goes for kids, times ten.
What we have here is Rupert Murdoch's Post choosing to highlight one (Muslim) child's sentence out of 21 letters. We don't know what was in the rest of the letter; we don't have the text of the other 20 letters.
We don't even know whether the letter writing was assigned by the teacher; but let's assume it was. The teacher chose not to censor any of the letters. Nine out of 21 letters were "critical." Big deal. I find honesty refreshing, don't you?
We don't know how these letters ended up on a South Korean base, but we want to blame the teacher for that too I suppose.
Mr. GI in South Korea isn't getting enough love and called to complain? I find that ridiculous. Hasn't he ever played Santa Claus before and had a kid wet his pants on him?
Murdoch's Post wants to use this one isolated atypical episode to sell papers to its conservative base. No doubt Fox has picked up the story and O'Reilly is fuming about how this one atypical episode demonstrates the liberal state of public education nationwide. The Right Wing blogosphere wants to use this one isolated atypical episode to feed its Left hating hungry crowd. Geez, I suppose you'll be talking about this one long after Ward Churchill has applied for unemployment compensation.
