TAKE TEXAS BACK!
A bunch of thieves, thugs, and nutcases took over Texas. Then they used it as a stepping stone to Washington, DC.

They raided our treasury, stripped our schools and handed it all to their corporate cronies.

Y'all ready to do something about it?

George H.W. Bush

The Right Goes Ballistic. Again

by: Libby Shaw

Gee whiz.   I sure hope, for their own sorry sakes, right wing Republicans have decent health care coverage.  I mean, at the rate at which they are blowing fuses and blood vessels over literally everything proposed by President Obama, good health care coverage sure is necessary for one's survival in avoiding and overcoming strokes and heart attacks.

OK, so the latest hysteria emanating from the right has to do with a speech President Obama will make to school children about staying in school, working hard to achieve good grades and taking personal responsibility for one's actions.  This should be music to a parent's ears, especially in Texas where we have the highest number of school dropouts and our schools rank second to last nationwide.

But oh no, au contraire and God forbid, should a child work hard to stay in school, earn top notch grades, graduate with honors and gain acceptance in a top tier university.

It seems that the right has plenty of problems with staying in school, at least according to comments posted by on-line readers of the The Houston Chronicle.  

Some object to Obama speech to students

According to the right President Obama will "indoctrinate" and "brain wash" students.

Getting good grades?   Taking responsibility?

No one howled when President G.W. Bush read to school children on the day our nation was horribly and ruthlessly attacked.


Nick Anderson, the Houston Chronicle, 9/3/09.

I guess a little ol' indoctrination and spin is harmless when it comes from a really rich white guy.
