Right-wing mom so upset about Obama's pro-education speech, she cries on CNN
-- Stephen C. Webster
Think the "debate" over President Obama's planned pro-education speech to students had already crossed the line into absurdity?
Think again.
This video is from CNN, broadcast Friday, Sept. 4, 2009.
The poor woman who started crying as visions of "brainwashing" and "socialism" flashed before her eyes is a classic example of the mental and emotional trauma being inflicted on many Americans by propagandists out to score political points however they can, even by manufacturing utter nonsense. These individuals exist, of course, on all the political fringes, but seem to be especially reverberating among the right-wing constituency right now.
Suddenly, "go to school," "read books" and "college is good" becomes endless rows of brain-dead underlings, forcibly jacked-in to the Matrix and being reprogrammed by wicked television sciences, ready to goose-step toward, uh, something. Doctors perhaps? No, better to go with socialism........

Well, you know, maybe it isn't a good idea to quote Marx at a time like this, but that "the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce" thing? He kinda had that right. As the Republicans keep proving.
This is the farce bit...too bad it isn't funny.
Ya know I saw a story the other night of this group of folks who believe we as a species should voluntarily stop reproducing until we are extinct since we seem to do nothing but muck up the planet. Sounds crazy I know....but then does it?
You see people like that and wonder why they are aloud to reproduce.
Now, now, let us not get all Malthusian. Even the children of weepy brainless reactionaries may grow up to be productive members of society.
we are our fathers and mothers children yet i also hope we do have our our center of being.
I feel a disruption in the force, yes, I do. Not all are meant to be Jedi. Many are just clones.
