Looney Tunes should sue to get back the good name of “looney.”
1. Neil Simpson at Eternity Matters continues to court anti-socialism. No, not “contrary to socialism”, but “anti-social” raised to the maximum. Now Simpson disavows education quality and Boy Scout-style citizenship, all in a whiny complaint about President Obama’s actually paying attention to school kids. Simpson’s complaints in Texas are highly ironic, considering that conservatives in the Texas legislature demand that Texas kids participate in exactly the kind of discussions that the Department of Education now urges.
According to the U.S. Department of Education:
During this special address, the president will speak directly to the nation’s children and youth about persisting and succeeding in school. The president will challenge students to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for their learning.
“Oh, noes!” we might hear Simpson say. We can’t have our nation’s youth “persisting and succeeding in school.” Can’t have them “work hard,” and “take responsibility for their learning.”
One more deeply hypocritical demonstration that, for Simpson and his colleagues in whine, it’s all about being a sore loser and a carbuncle on the derriere of America, and not about policy at all.
Obama might be expected to plug charter schools again, a position Simpson would find good if Simpson had a reasoning cell left in his body. Not that Obama’s support of charter schools is a good idea, just that Simpson previously has expressed similar views, which he now would have to eschew, since Obama adopted them. Of course, it’s not about Obama. Right.
The Department of Education release has other details you should check out, if you’re interested:
The U.S. Department of Education encourages students of all ages, teachers, and administrators to participate in this historic moment by watching the president deliver the address, which will be broadcast live on the White House Web site (http://www.whitehouse.gov/live/) and on C-SPAN at 12:00 p.m., ET. We also encourage educators to use this moment to help students get focused and inspired to begin the new academic year. The Department of Education offers educators a menu of classroom activities—created by its teachers-in-residence, the Teaching Ambassador Fellows—to help engage students in the address and stimulate classroom discussions about the importance of education.

That is, if you agree that education is important. (Oh, don’t even go to the post where Simpson starts arguing that “survival of the fittest” is tantamount to killing everybody else. Doesn’t this guy ever think?)
2. Making the case for Birther Control once more, Orly Taitz managed to get in front of a judge in some Texas court with her inane claims about Obama’s birth certificate. She’s not a Texas lawyer, she didn’t bother to get a Texas lawyer to sign in with her, she broke almost every rule possible, but the judge bent over backwards to be nice to her — and she still whines. Read the events at Dispatches from the the Culture Wars. You can almost decipher it at Orly Taitz’s blog, but she doesn’t even allow friendly posts without editing there. Get the facts from Brayton.
3. Meanwhile, riding the crest of the idiocy wave generated by inanities like Taitz’s and Simpson’s, these guys are gearing up for a violent confrontation with an evil, militant force, that isn’t even under discussion (if you read their links). Go read it. It’s the seedbed of homegrown terrorism.
4. GOP candidate for governor of Virginia Bob McDonnell repudiated the masters thesis he wrote for Pat Robertson’s Regent University. One by one, he disavows each of the offensive things he wrote then, claiming that he’s healed, or something, since then.
After McDonnell repudiates the education he got at Regent U, do you think the school will use him as an example of a graduate success in recruiting?
Already-elected GOP governors aren’t doing too well, either.
5. The Sedalia, Missouri band t-shirt flap keeps some people in stitches. I’m not sure whether it’s encouraging so many cross-stitchers show sanity on the issue, or discouraging that a few still remain deeply mired in darkness, claiming evolution is a problem. (See earlier post here.)

As for your claim about government takeover of health care where? Under the President’s plan the insurance companies would still exist and still be able to do business. They just would have actual competition for once because the government would merely expanded it’s already existant involvement to be an option for those who can’t afford private insurance. You know..the full sixth and growing part of the population.
But why is it that you don’t advocate the killing of Medicare or the VA, hm? And why is it you aren’t saying that Republican officials in Congress should give up their own government run and government paid for health care?

Thanks for the pointer to Simpson’s blog, Mike.
I am so sick of stupidity, obtuseness, and crude brutality as demonstrated by that guy. He complains:
We could assume he missed the point, but since he’s bragged about his GPA and CPA test scores, we have to assume that’s impossible. So we know the guy really is hateful in his obtuseness.
I didn’t say that Simpson was racist because he disagrees with Obama. I said he’s racist because the policies of Obama he opposes are anti-racist — getting more minority kids to graduate from high school.
It has nothing to do with Obama’s race. It has everything to do with Simpson’s dreadful claim that Obama urging minority kids to stay in school is somehow evil. Simpson’s position is undefensible under any view, but it’s completely irrational except as a racist view. When more kids graduate, regardless their color, gender, national origin or creed, our economy does better, Social Security is more secure, our armed forces function better, more people pay more taxes, family violence goes down, other violence goes down, crime is diminished, and more lawns get mowed. Why would he oppose that?
He may be simply stupid and crazy, but his GPA is too great for that, isn’t it?
Of course, Simpson doesn’t link back here — he can’t afford in his mind to have his readers exposed to other ideas, of course, but it may be just that he’s making another, disconnected-from-reality rant that has nothing to do with his indefensible position. He assumes a stance that is overtly racist if anyone listens to him, but his complaint about racism doesn’t defend or apologize for his previous stance.
Such disassociation is a form of madness. See the title of the post at the top of this thread.

After all, PMC’s like Blackwater are conducting what amounts to military operations and Blackwater has its own version of the CIA.
But tell me, if racism wasn’t playing some part in some of the right wing opposition to Obama, especially in the birther movement, then what is?
After all..John McCain WAS born in a foreign country, Panama, and yet curiously no one was questioning whether he was qualified to be President or not. There wasn’t rumors flying around that he was secretly a muslim either. There was no one alluding to that he was in cahoots with terrorists.

The point still remains, Neil, is that you played chicken little about an address in which you don’t know the contents, have no idea what he’s going to say and you clearly don’t trust what he says he’s going to say despite no rational reason for it. When did the concept of “Innocent until proven guilty” escape you?
All the while conveniently ignoring the fact that Obama is hardly the first President to address the nation’s students.
If you were bothering to be intellectually honest instead of a pathetic liar you would have waited til you actually saw/heard the speech and then made a judgement. But no…being intellectually honest was too much of a challenge for you. So instead you fall back on histrionics and bluster just because a guy you don’t like and a Democrat at that dared to win the Presidency.
Well get used to it. We Democrats are loyal citizens of the United States despite your party’s delusion to the contrary, we want what is best for the country and we’re not going anywhere.
Sorry, despite your arrogance, you and your party are not the sole deciders of what is right and what is best. You will simply have to get used to the fact that you and your party aren’t always right. You will also have to accept the fact that the Democrats aren’t always wrong.
So get over the fact that Obama won, grow up and start acting like a rational adult human being.
And I would suggest that you and your party stop this incessant and irrational fear and hate mongering. It’s not healthy for your party and it sure as hell isn’t healthy for the country. You and yours are doing a hell of a job tearing this country apart. If you want to know why your party lost in 2006 and lost worse last year that is a primary reason why.
Your party can be leaders or your party can become a party of irrational demagogues. If the former then your party will deserve to be in charge at times. If the latter then the best thing for this country would be if your party went the way of the Whigs, which is what your party is apparently doing, and some other more rational party take it’s place and be the opposition to the Democrats.
Your choice.
Oh and before you dismiss what I just said, I am a former Republican. The reason I am not a Republican any longer is because the Republican party went so far to the right that I simply don’t recognize it any more. It abandoned reason, it abandoned rationality, it abandoned common sense, it abandoned morality, it abandoned looking out for the common good and it for sure as hell abandoned actual conservatism. And for what? A bunch of uber social “conservatives” and fake Christians like Michelle Bachmann and Pat Robertson merged with irrational anti-government hatred epitomized by Scaife? And toss in a bit of rampant worship of ignorance epitomized by Sarah Palin?

Your comments about Obama make me pity your children. Your absolute ignorance about biology, science, and espeically evolution, make me fear for our nation. You are the epitome of the rising tide of mediocrity the Excellence in Education Commission warned us about, and if a foreign power took after America like you do, we’d consider it an act of war.

I’ve struggled with this since I saw your complaint, Neil, but at length I’ve decided that the most offensive part of your rant is the patent racism in it. Obama plans to encourage kids to stay in school, to not drop out. You call that a problem. Why? There is no good reason under God’s heaven. No doubt if we reduce dropout rates in Texas, it will mean a lot more Hispanic and African American graduates. To most of us, that would justify a lot of otherwise bad policy — but it’s not bad policy, it’s good policy. So the only thing I can imagine is that you just can’t stand the idea of black and brown kids getting ahead.
That both disgusts me, and makes me sad for you. You’ve missed so much good in life.

See, Neil, the issue here is one of snarkiness. As an aside, I notice you heavily quote-mined – cherry picking words from a longer passage to “prove” something is a hallmark of dishonest Creationists, and it’s nice to see you show your true colours, once again.

Anyway, back to teh snarx0r.

Q My name is Cam Fitzie and I’m from St. Agnes School in Alexandria, Virginia. I was wondering if you think that it is possible to decrease the national debt without raising the taxes of the public?
PRESIDENT REAGAN: I do. That’s a big argument that’s going on in government and I definitely believe it is because one of the principle reasons that we were able to get the economy back on track and create those new jobs and all was we cut the taxes, we reduced them. Because you see, the taxes can be such a penalty on people that there’s no incentive for them to prosper and to earn more and so forth because they have to give so much to the government. And what we have found is that at the lower rates the government gets more revenue, there are more people paying taxes because there are more people with jobs and there are more people willing to earn more money because they get to keep a bigger share of it, so today, we’re getting more revenue at the lower rates than we were at the higher. And do you know something? I studied economics in college when I was young and I learned there about a man named Ibn Khaldun, who lived 1200 years ago in Egypt. And 1200 years ago he said, in the beginning of the empire, the rates were low, the tax rates were low, but the revenue was great. He said in the end of empire, when the empire was collapsing, the rates were great and the revenue was low

Once again, Mr. Simpson portrays evolution incorrectly. The competition is not done by stabbing other members of one’s species in the back. It may be a subtle point, but it’s an important one. Even the lowly hummingbird competes against other hummingbirds, as does the earthworm — neither by murder, however.
I don’t understand Simpson’s fascination with murder and his attempts to tie it to evolution theory where it does not naturally reside.
I have no way of knowing who the other poster is, or why he or she agreed with Simpson’s false portrayal — but we do know that Simpson won’t allow contrary opinions at his blog, especially if they show him to be incontrovertibly in error. So we may presume that the person is not a scientist nor one who could vigorously defend evolution.
In any case, getting someone else to agree to Simpson’s error doesn’t erase Simpson’s error. Simpson has misstated evolution theory, probably with malice aforethought. He should know better. He knows better now. I’ll wager it’s one more error he won’t correct.
If I ever tell a lie here, I won’t let Simpson’s previous prevarications be a hurdle, surely.
But then, Simpson is so far ahead of me on that score that my path would be smooth.
Frost was right. The road less travelled is better, especially when it’s the road Simpson has trod less.
