Heard on Rush today: The Democrats want your body parts!
Some dumbass woman was going on and on about how the health care plans mean that every woman is going to end up with double mastectomies and hysterectomies. Rush just let her spew, and connect all the recent news about health screening recommendations to the health care reform bill.

First they came for the boobies!

:banghead:

The more I hear some of these people, the more I just think that the real evil was the two-decade neglect of our educational system. They are crushingly ignorant, enough to fill one with despair.

1. This is why I want a National Curriculum
That way the toothless mouth breathers can learn something other than "Gawddidit!" from school

3. I think it was deliberate
The intellectual starvation of a few generations and you no longer have citizens who can participate. You have confused consumers who will stand in line to hear empty words come out of a pretty, empty head.

But you're right, there should be a national curriculum covering the Constitution and the political system that is just all about "how it works" and lots of assignments that involve making arguments about various civics-related topics.

10. It's good - especially the "Baloney Detection Kit"
If I were limited, I would just teach that chapter

4. Well, I do research in political communication
So I listen to him the way an entomologist might study a bug.

7. The latest installment in a never-ending series
While Olaf, glad and big, famously told his military tormentors to fuck off by saying "there is some shit I will not eat," Limbaugh is determined to show us that his audience will wolf down shit of every color, size, consistency and amount. There is indeed no shit that they will not consume.
