Why are "Liberal" and "Democrat" hurled as insults?

[Rebar]

How many school districts are there in America? 150,000? How many are embroiled in the "intelligent design" controversy? 1, 2?

Another stale piece of propaganda from the liberal/left. Never mind the majority of the other school districts are busy shoving their leftist agenda down the throats of our children, at the expense of their education.

In my school district, the city spends $20,000 per student, yet half of the 12th graders cannot pass a basic skills test for the 8th grade level. Yet they all know Heather has two mommies, how to put a condom on a banana, that Bush is the devil incarnate and all republicans are evil.

Christian bashing is the new anti-semitism. Pick a minute example of a few christians doing something remotely infringing on the vast secular liberal/left establishment. Blow it so out of proportion that the sheeple think it's a gigantic crisis, that "bible thumpers" will break into their houses and force them to go to church. What nonsense, what's more they know it's nonsense.

Just like the whole "draft" scare last election. It was a liberal/left proposal to begin with, then because they could scare stupid male teenagers they propagandized it to the maximum, all the while knowing the whole thing was a lie. Just like the whole gun issue, they know very well that gun "control" doesn't lower crime, but it's a convient lie to scare people into voting for them. Like the draft lie, and like the "American taliban" lie.

Fear and lies, lies and fear, that's the only way they can further their socialist agenda. Anyone furthering that lie ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Then again, one of the hallmarks of a liberal/leftist is, they have no shame.

Yeah, like this. Nothing "in your face" here.

It's only in your face if you've got a problem with it. I'm sure some of the gay and lesbian parents out there probably don't think they've got anything to hide. They're not doing anything wrong, so if it bothers you...that's on you. Me, I'd look the other way. If you don't get in line early enough for your kid to play hide the easter egg with GWB, oh well. Better luck next year.

Wrong answer. Slide that asinine crap into any public school anywhere, and it'll start a tsunami of red states trying to do the same. That's not lost on anyone except maybe you, which is why it's a national story.

Propaganda? It's gone to federal courts, and it's a serious issue, as much as you might wish it wasn't. See above. If insisting that students not be taught fairy tales in science class is a leftist agenda in your book, that says a lot more about you than ID. There's no nice way to put that. Teaching science in science class and gym in gym class and history in history class and religion in religion class isn't leftism. It's simply good policy.

Wow, I wanna see a copy of that test. In which class do they administer that brain buster?

Then again, one of the hallmarks of a liberal/leftist is, they have no shame.

Hey, it's not us trying to teach kids that the earth is flat and babies are delivered by storks. Shame indeed.

Used to be the common man was a proud Democrat because the party used to do what was needed done to better the lives of the common man. This is no longer true as the party left the common man for the special interest groups. It is a shame too.

The Dems have gone so far to the left with their socialist agenda that they forgot who brought them to power and lost control. Since that time when they changed the country has been at war between the parties and the escalation is going to damage this country. Maybe even to the point of civil war. It's happened before.

Given any major calamity I would be on my families guard as the political idiots will try who knows what for an advantage. In my opinion.

I thought the liberal/left didn't believe the domino theory? Patent nonsense, and the few places that want to have that option are doing so in reaction to the leftist agenda being pushed on their children every day. I thought you all wanted choice? Guess that's another lie.

It's gone to federal courts, and it's a serious issue

LOL! It's a trademark tactic of the left to force their agenda through the courts, since they cannot legislate it anymore. Besides, how did this become a federal issue anyway, last I looked a school district was a state institution.

Teaching science...

Union schools aren't doing much teaching of any type apparently, except pushing their left-wing agenda and revisionist history.

In which class do they administer that brain buster?

Having half a 12th grade class failing an 8th grade test, despite enormous amounts of money spent, perfectly illustrates the failure of the left-wings ideology.

No, what the liberal/left teaches, or rather indoctinates, is far worse then that.

In regard to continuing encroachment from the Christian right? I believe alright, since their agenda is in plain sight and they don't make any bones about what their stated aims are.

Patent nonsense, and the few places that want to have that option are doing so in reaction to the leftist agenda being pushed on their children every day.

People want to misinform students and undermine education as a reaction to some evil leftist plot? Sounds like textbook paranoia: 1 : a psychosis characterized by systematized delusions of persecution or grandeur usually without hallucinations; 2 : a tendency on the part of an individual or group toward excessive or irrational suspiciousness and distrustfulness of others. Whatever problems we have with education (and what exactly is this leftist agenda anyway? Teaching students the truth in biology class has no political tint at all) in this country, those problems aren't an excuse for what the religious right is cooking up.

I thought you all wanted choice? Guess that's another lie.

Yeah, that doesn't mean everything some crackpot cooks up belongs on the menu of choices. Students shouldn't get to choose between a globe and a flat earth in geology sections. They shouldn't get to choose between sexual reproduction and the stork theory in biology class. They don't get to choose between 2+2=5 and 2+2=4 in arithmetic drills.

LOL! It's a trademark tactic of the left to force their agenda through the courts, since they cannot legislate it anymore. Besides, how did this become a federal issue anyway, last I looked a school district was a state institution.

Because the case was heard in US District Court. The opposition in the Dover case filed no briefs about incorrect jurisdiction that I know of. And you can't even get that part right. It wasn't the "left", it was a bipartisan group of parents that brought the suit against the school board, and it included Dems and Repubs who simply value education over the religious right's agenda. What's funny is that the judge who smacked the ID crowd down so thunderously was actually a church going Republican. Apparently most Republicans are sane enough to know the difference between religion and science. Too bad we can't count you amongst their number, apparently.

Union schools aren't doing much teaching of any type apparently, except pushing their left-wing agenda and revisionist history.

Examples? You do realize that making affirmative, sweeping generalizations on message boards while providing nothing in the way of substantiation is extremely poor form? That sort of pot-shot one liner just degrades the conversation and does little to advance your case.

Having half a 12th grade class failing an 8th grade test, despite enormous amounts of money spent, perfectly illustrates the failure of the left-wings ideology.

Gee, I would think that's an indictment of a lot of parents and a lot of teachers, but if you want to extrapolate how that indicts an entire school of thought, I'd love to see the white paper on that whopper.

Because Liberals want to "do the right thing" while using my money. And if I complain, I am labeled (take your pick: Racist, Homophobe,Capitalistic Pig, Radical Right Winged, Polluting Gun Nut)

Secondly, Liberals will allow the U.N. to disarm me, with a "Small Arms Treaty" such as the one currently being plotted.

Those two reasons are enough for me to not allow myself to vote for a Democrat, even if he is a good candidate. (It just helps encourage them)

Thread started ugly.
Has certainly not gotten any prettier since inception.

I believe it's now run its course.
