Can we please not have a repeat of the "T-Bagger" horseshit?

Despite being in my 60's with kids completely done with school, I am making a promise, right now, to attend every "blanking" local School Board meeting my district has.

The deplorable asspickles never got sufficient pushback during the "scrotum-dipping" summer of 2010, so it became a self-fulfilling prophecy.

We, or at least I, have an "obligation" to confront and stand up to Nazis AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY!

disrupting and carrying on about Critical Race Theory, as if the schools are going to show "12 Years a Slave", or Django Unchained to kindergarden classes.

It's effing ridiculous!

And, let's not forget that the media turned those eyebulging T-Baggers into a Cottage Industry.

They played those frickin nutjobs over and over again in the hopes they'd see a bunch of suburban housewives in a cage match.

This shit needs to be responded to everytime it happens.

If not, they feel like they are the majority.
