    A product of the US public school system. Sigh.
  • larz · 1 year ago
    I hate people that blame this kind of ignorance on the public school system. If I remember correctly - Michelle Obama is a graduate of the Chicago Public School system (as am I) and she's doing okay for herself. The best ranked HS in Illinois is and has been for 5 years a public school. This is the result of parents that don't value education.
  • hrh · 1 year ago
    There are some fantastic schools in the public school system. Bill & Melinda Gates have funded some schools that are turning out terrific graduates. But the vast majority of public schools promote students whether they can do the grade level work or not. (Don't make waves.)

    Most administrators are just plain stupid (Read your local newspaper.); most parents are clueless and disconnected (Read the paper.).

    Graduates like Mrs Obama are the rare exception. (Read the paper; investigate your local school system; have barf bag at ready.)

    EDUCATE YERSELF!!!
  • larz · 1 year ago
    I am very educated about the state of our education system and the number one factor in our system failing is that parents are not involved or held accountable PERIOD. What do you think needs to happen? You blame the public schools, but I've seen home schooled children that can't think or socialize, I've seen private schools hire teachers without degrees or experience. Parochial schools waste time on religion and other bs.

    I for one think that we should only have public schools. Private schools are causeing the problems with equal access, lack of funding, and parental involvement. The public schools need the parents that care enough to be the reformers and role models for other parents. Instead they write the check and send their kids off to what may or may not be a better education.

    I went to a public school, my friends went to public schools, my family went to public schools. Most of us went on to college with scholarships and went on to be active and involved citizens with decent jobs. The kids I grew up with that went to private schools are doing okay - but few of them went to college. However, half the kids on my block that went to public schools did go on to college and good ones - Harvard,George Washington, Yale, and Princeton. I get that it's not typical, but possible.

    Funny, he can put sentences together better than the current president, but knows even less about our government... I didn't think that was possible. (ok, that was before Ms. Palin entered the scene)
  • whomod · 1 year ago
    Wow. this is exactly the kind of Republican that makes up the 22% now. Ignorant, uninformed, clueless and oblivious. I really do think these nitwits will make Palin their front runner in 4 years.She after all is the champion of the dumb*sses.

    He seems so nice and friendly and willing to talk about his voting experience. I'm fascinated that he didn't know the president can only serve two terms. I'm even more fascinated by his decision to cast a blank ballot. I have to give him credit, he didn't vote for McCain! :)

    Why do so many comments assume this guy is a product of US schools? He could be a drop out, or been home schooled, or gone to a private christian school.
  • Soundboy_jeff_meanie · 1 year ago
    or the product of first cousins marrying... several times over.
  • Fireblazes(cheetohsandcatfood) · 1 year ago
    Are not all of the things you mentioned as American as this genius? Dropouts are still products of the American schools, home schooling is American, as is a christian school.
  • dacnova · 1 year ago
    Not all dropouts are the fault of the school, home schooling is a bigoted response and harmful to children, and not all private schools are first class. I went to Catholic school for 12 years and for my home town, got a substandard grade school education but a superior high school education (minus the more than a decade it took me to deprogram myself from the religious fairy tails that kept me in the closet until I was 34).

    A few weeks ago, friends and I were discussing the seemingly ignorant electorate in support of McCain/Palin, One of my friends told me if I wanted to get a feel for the people who support Palin, not necessarily McCain, and continue to support Bush (ie: the 22%), I should read Greta Van Susteren’s blog on Foxnews.com.

    Here is an example:

    i have read all the comments on here and some of them are right down brainwashed by oboma and his believes. So Go Palin Go in 2012 .it’s time women wake up and smell the roses that the gov. i for men only and don’t want a woman . women had to protest to have a right to vote so when and one attacks a woman expecialy those women who didn’t like need to take a good look at their daughters and say youcan’t be vice president or president because i as a woman and your mother doesn’t believe it would be a thing for you . you will be a teacher, a sectary, or a news writer. but never a vice president or president. i still will never trust oboma their’s just something about him .i just don’t trust him. We need a real change in the next 4 yrs. a woman so go palin go 2012”

    What is truly amazing is that this very ignorant and stupid people can always find their way to the polling booth.
  • Soundboy_jeff_meanie · 1 year ago
    given that they believe all the propaganda told to them... we should start a spam email letting them know that the election is on the 6th next time.

    I had to read it three times in my attempt to understand her meaning. I particularly enjoyed the one who thought Fox was for the "intelligent, American people". LOL
  • Older_Wiser · 1 year ago
    I wonder what this brain trust thought when Palin said her message to "girls" was that they have to work twice as hard, run twice as fast, etc. as men to make it in the world. My question would have been, "Why?"

    By Palin's reasoning, a black woman would have to do 4 times as well as a white man, exponentially speaking. ; )
  • MyVoice · 1 year ago
    I had a very long belly laugh reading the conspiracy theories over there that I had not heard yet- Obamas do not celebrate Christmas, we will close libraries, Circuit City is in bankruptcy due to Obama policies- ect. Wow what a bunch of ignorant Fox followers. They even bash Fox hosts that do not grovel at Palins feet!
  • LeftCoastOracle · 1 year ago
    OMD this is appalling. Do you suppose English isn't his first language?
  • EllaDisenchanted · 1 year ago
    I wonder how many of these crazies think Palin was the FIRST female VP nominee. I really think they think they are something special for waiting 25 years to get repeat Dem history. Losers. Or in terms they understand "Loosers".
  • houstonray · 1 year ago
    WHAT. A. MAROON.
  • Kansaskitty · 1 year ago
    Duhhhh.

    And not only did he not know presidents can't serve more than 2 terms, he thinks Bush has done a good job! I'd like to know exactly what he thinks Bush has done a good job at?! I missed it somehow....
  • LeftCoastOracle · 1 year ago
    And he obviously thought George Bush was on the ballot
  • PeteWa · 1 year ago
    I'm surprised that Palin didn't swing it for him... although I did hear a little swoosh in his vowels, so maybe... I doubt he even has a clue if that is true, one of those who would say at the end of his life "so that's why I get hard around guys, I'm gay!?! Who knew?"... but for whatever reason, he was oblivious to the only real factor Lipstick brought to the Feeble Ticket.

    OBL doesn't scare me as much as these people.
  • mirth · 1 year ago
    I feel the same way, Karol.

    A few years ago on a roadtrip traveling alone in a sudden storm, I spent a very scary evening and night in the FLDS territory bordering Utah and Arizona. At the only available restaurant, FLDS owned, the threat from males was palpable, their ugly stares never leaving me inside or outside the building, and the curiosity of the females was...I don't know the word to describe it - a combination of resentment and curiosity and very unsettling. One very young waitress, maybe 13 or 14, excitedly whispered her questions to me as she wrote my order: Why didn't I have a man with me? Where was I going? Did I have a boyfriend? Had I ever been to California? Freedom! That's what I represented to her. I almost told her she could come with me and I considered this with tears in my eyes, so sorry I felt for her and her circumstances. In my motel room I set booby traps near the windows and the door to wake me if someone decided to teach me a lesson (For what? Daring to be an unaccompanied female?), and I do not spook easily. During the night there was a loud thud against the window, and the next day I was horribly sick with something like food poisoning.
    A big bright spotlight needs to be shined in many corners of our society, but most citizens are fine with looking to the Muslim world for the threats to us, refusing to recognize and deal with the mean truths right here.

    Michigan GOP Precinct delegate dresses in his KKK robes the day after the election
    http://michiganmessenger.com/8087/midland-gop-p...

    An image of Gray has now surfaced in the Midland Daily News (online edition at OurMidland.com). The newspaper said the image shows Gray, 30, protesting the election of Barack Obama as the 44th president of the United States. And to top it off, Gray is dressed in his KKK robes while standing at a busy intersection in Midland. His protest was held in front of Garber Chevrolet at the corner of Eastman Avenue and Saginaw Road in Midland and lasted 15 or 20 minutes.

    Police told the Midland Daily News that Gray was exercising his First Amendment rights. What was Gray’s protest about?

    “I feel white people feel more oppressed,” he said. “We’re basically told as white people we can’t have any organizations. We’re ruled by communists.

    “It’s not just about Barack Obama. It goes deeper than that.”

    According to the Midland Daily News report, Gray then went on to say the election of Obama to the presidency was the impetus for him to make the walk on Wednesday. The report fails to note that Gray is Michigan GOP precinct delegate for Midland.

    Gray was one of three candidates who ran unopposed for three open delegate seats in Midland in the Republican Aug. 5 primary. As a precinct delegate, Gray serves a two-year term and is expected to attend all state Republican conventions and to run campaign activities in the Saginaw-area precinct for Republican candidates.

    I gotta kindly disagree----His special comment about the prop 8 debacle would have carried a lot more credibility if he would have walked his own walk------if you do not exercise your right and privilege to make your wishes known via the ballot, you have no business complaining about any electoral result.
    One of my neighbors always volunteered at one of our local women's clinics, helping with the adies who were afraid of their first mammogram.....................she died of breast cancer last year because she couldn't bring herself to do the same-----you see the tragic paradox here?

    Unfortunately Keith Olbermann's legal residence is not in California so he couldn't have voted against Prop 8 in any case.

    Believe or not there are educated college grads that would have voted for Bush again if he could have run. She said he has done well for small business. I told her she'll do better under Obama.
  • gwpriester · 1 year ago
    I got a real eye opener in 2004 when Bush came to Bernalillo, New Mexico to give a speech supporting "small business". The small business where Bush gave his address is huge and probably has revenues in the millions. This is what the republicans consider a small business. And I am sure the owner of the company probably gave a substantial donation to Bush's campaign. What most of us would consider a small business, the republicans would consider small potatoes.

  • slappymagoo · 1 year ago
    At the risk of sounding all nit-picky and Cliff Clavin-esque (and someone can feel free to correct me), even though Bush can't serve a third term, this guy is still allowed to vote for him as a write-in candidate, isn't he? I mean, it may be the most perfect definition of a wasted vote (short of voting for a dead person or someone equally ineligible - too young, not a native American), but if this guy really wanted to use his vote to make a statement, that statement being "I'm dumber than a bag of wet hammers...uh, I mean, I want 4 more years of Bush" he's entitled, right? It's just that, in this bizarre scenario, even if a hypothetical 2-term President gets enough write-in votes to tehcincally win the election, he still wouldn't be able to serve.

    As far as I'm concerned, a vote for a Bush third term was a vote against a McCain first term. I'll take it, as anyone like that probably never would've voted for Obama.
  • LeftCoastOracle · 1 year ago
    I'm sure he could have written in Bush but am not sure it would have been counted. I believe the candidate would have had to register as a write-in candidate in order for any votes to be counted.

  • KSUwildcat · 1 year ago
    I'd like to respond to the person who wants to blame the public school system. I have taught in the public school system for 30 years. The biggest factor in a student's success is having involved parents who participate in their children's education. There are students who are self motivated, but there are many who can't be bothered to take notes, do homework, attempt to complete quizzes and tests and then beg for extra credit when they discover they are failing. I'm all for teacher accountability and I use all sorts of varied activities to get my students engaged, but every year I get more and more discouraged. Until the students are the ones held accountable, we are just spinning our wheels. I have very few students who are incapable of passing Algebra I in the two-year course created for the slower student. They know if they screw off, they will get all sorts of assistance and intervention. Don't get me started on No Child Left Behind. We have dumbed down the curriculum just to look good on the tests and the top students are missing out on a more rigorous and challenging curriculum. Principals will admit this fact but will tell the teachers that this is the game we must play. I'm sorry to be such a pessimist, but please know that teachers are working harder and harder and students are working less and less.
