• We Never Occupied Mexico: Beck Schools Eva Longoria on Her Mexican History

  May 17, 2012 at 10:43am

  Miss Longoria is merely stating the version of history that is taught in Mexican elemenatary school. In Mexico, there is a government issued, standardized education. All children get the same textbooks in every school. The United States and Americans are painted as perennial “bad guys.” History tends to look very different when written from different points of view, and the Mexican government teaches the propaganda it wishes to inculate its children with.

  Oops. Typo. “…the way” should read, “…this way.”

  They must be so proud, following in the footsteps of the Black Knights of the Ku Klux Klan the way. Same initial uniform, same tactics, same ideology, same everything.

• Report: Five Anarchists Arrested for Allegedly Trying to Blow Up a Cleveland-Area Bridge, Had Similar Attacks Planned in Chicago

  What exactly gives these bozos the right to decide for me what I want and need? Who made them kings? And doesn’t acting like a king, who has some kind of supernatural right to rule in my life, kind of contradict anarchy? No. I don’t want mob rule, which is what anarchy brings with it.

• PA School District Drops Disciplinary Action Against Girl Who Refused to Stand for the Pledge

  The idea of the United States of America, as well as the reality, is something the individual has to figure out/learn/experience for their own self. This girl’s parents are definitely remiss when it comes to having taught their child about respecting others, their elders, and their environment, or about in-depth learning of a subject before deciding to agree or disagree with it. The idea that a 13 year old is being taught that her judgment can and should take precedence over that of her teacher is appalling, but again, it reflects on the poor judgment of her parents and of the ACLU. There are ways to do things, and ways not to do them. Children can do many things. They should be listened to and heard. However, they don’t get to run the show — unless one really wants to live in that “Brave New World” we had a movie about in the 60′s. (Everyone was sent away to live the remainder of their “too old” lives taking LSD daily at “happy farms” on their 30th birthday — which was then lowered to the 18th birthday.)
  None for me, thanks.

• Funny Vid: D.C. Occupiers Want to Banish Monetary System…But Still ‘Buy’ Big Screen TVs

  In reply to KINGRUDDY.

  Oh, they know what a big screen TV looks like in those places, they also know what one is, and exactly how much one costs. Parochialism may be rampant in the U.S., but other countries don’t have the same problems exactly.

  Now you’re sounding like a Leftist. Should they (and/or their progeny) be well educated, and learn how to think, or is sterilizing them really preferable?

• Occupy on Display: When I Grow Up, I Want to be a Professional Protester!

  In reply to Southerner01.

  Southerner01 would be the male equivalent of, and perfect counterpart to, these girls. And apparently, as proud of it as the girls are of themselves.

  Gee. Now the kids in high school are being “educated” to think that Fascism (i.e., having everyone on the same page) is desirable. I just can’t wait to hear them talk about how “sexy” it is to wear burkas, and how shariah law is “what’s best” for us all, and especially for women.

  Well, O.K.: I can indeed wait. It would be so nice if that doesn’t happen. And yet, 150 years from now, people will definitely ask, “How come people didn’t stop it while there was still time? How could they let those things happen? It would be impossible not to see it: it was so obvious!”
