You liberals are all the same! [View All]

[Fenris]

Really, you want to teach MY kids about "tolerance." And you want to teach MY nine year old about sex and transgenders. You want ME to send MY kids to school to learn how to be politically correct. TEACH MY KIDS MATH! TEACH MY KIDS READING! TEACH MY KIDS SCIENCE! Don't fill MY kids up with ideology, or tell MY kids how bad AMERICA is. TEACH THEM TO READ!

I'm sorry, I got in my car this morning and for some bizarre reason decided to check out whatever vomit was being spewed from Houston's one pure talk radio station, which has a variety of host opinions ranging from far right to batshit insane. And it's own by ClearChannel, if you didn't already figure that out. Anyway, I got a good taste of a national program hosted by a screaming ideologue who calls himself Glenn Beck. Now, I'm willing to listen to different opinions, and the above paragraph pretty much sums up what I heard. America, so says Mr. Beck, spends more money on education than any other country in the world (I didn't have the time to varify this statistic, but I am skeptical, and I have to wonder whether Mr. Beck was taking in to account the amount of money spent vs. the total budget of a country) and yet American kids are trailing when it comes to reading math and science. Why, do you ask? Because of the liberals. Yes, because of those one-world pinko hippies in Washington and in the education sector and in our universities teaching our kids about dirty dirty sex and how oppressive their country is, OUR children aren't getting educated where it counts. And so on and so on and so on.

Yes, I'm really glad the conservatives have followed through on their promise to elevate the national discourse...by blaming all of the problems with America not on a number of things, but on one group of people. Ahh, it's morning in America!

Talk radio is like a really nasty car wreck. You don't like it, but you just have to look.
