Schweitzer has always been a Monet candidate. If you look at him from a distance with excitement in your eyes, he looks really good. But once he starts actually campaigning and getting out there and talking to national media, you realize he’s a MONTANA Democrat, not a New York City Democrat. ---

Which means he can actually win. I realize liberals are all giddy that a Democrat that wasn’t from a Southern state finally won the Presidency, but his performance hasn’t exactly made it easier for future liberal state Democrats to get elected. Montana isn’t the South, but it’s where moderate Democrats come from. Just as good as Arkansas Democrats as far as I’m concerned. Not that I don’t like Cuomo, he’s the bomb. ---

I realize liberals are all giddy that a Democrat that wasn’t from a Southern state finally won the Presidency, but his performance hasn’t exactly made it easier for future liberal state Democrats to get elected. Complete nonsense; your understanding of who is liberal, and how liberals actually think is infantile. Newsflash – Hannity doesn’t actually know who liberals are or how they think. ---

First the IRS, now this. It’s getting to the point that schools aren’t even HIDING the fact that they’re liberal indoctrination centers anymore. > [@](#): > > A high school student in Connecticut spoke out at a school board meeting this week after being unable to view conservative websites on school computers. According to [FoxCT.com](http://FoxCT.com), 18-year-old Andrew Lampart, a senior at Nonnewaug High School, believes there may have been censorship in the implementation of a firewall system that the school uses to block certain websites. > > He said he first noticed an issue when he was blocked from the NRA’s website, but then had no problem getting onto sites that advocate for stricter gun control laws, like Moms Demand Action and Newtown Action Alliance. Lampart then said that he logged onto the state’s Democratic Party website before being blocked from the Connecticut GOP site. > **[Fox News Flash | Fox News](https://www.foxnews.com/category/media/fox-news-flash)** > > Fox News Flash keeps you up to date on the news being made and opinions being given across all of Fox News’ platforms. > **[Chicks On The Right – Because Conservatism Needs a Makeover](https://chicksonright.com/)** > > Your SUPER-powered WP Engine Site ---

Also, it’s a poor implementation of the liberal indoctrination policy. At the last meeting, I said the special web blockers needed to include the website-warping technology that allowed you go to [NRA.com](http://NRA.com) and [GOP.com](http://GOP.com), but it subtly changed all their messaging to make them look foolish. Blocking them was too obvious, I said… but did Supreme Leader Oblosinton (praise shim) listen? Noooo! Damn bureacratic idiots (praise shim). ---

Seriously, this strikes you as a valid indoctrination technique? You think kids in high school are actually trying to visit the websites for political parties and the NRA instead of porn sites and Reddit? You really think some Board of Education or principal sat down and said “Here’s my cunning plan – we’ll include the NRA and GOP in our firewall and our kids will vote Democratic.”? Firewalls of this kind are done with key words, probably automatically. It’s actually not hard to see, what with the GOP’s favorite topics, why they’d amass a tipping point of key words. And when a site is excluded, you can usually ask that it be white-listed. Except if you’re a paranoid conservative, it’s so much more fun to go into a frothing rage and cry persecution. ---
