Seriously, I can’t even imagine what this person looks like without imagining Early Cuyler from Squidbillies saying it. 
But where does all this backwards thinking always, always, always stem from?
Ay, there’s the rub. We can’t put religious crap on the back burner in this country, it seems. But if the GOP ever want to remain in higher office in the future, they’ll need to get rid of their religious crapola, and fast.
I can vaguely picturing someone thinking the Pyramids were used for grain storage, if that person had played thousands of hours of Civilization III.
We’ve gone to plaid!
And before anyone else says it:
Gender Fluid Spectrum = BAND NAME!
I read the last part of that sentence and was all 
so I clicked the link and read this:
At which point I was completely because why would the hate-group-watch organization SPLC be distributing children’s coloring sheets featuring items of clothing?
Turns out that the SPLC has a project called “Teaching Tolerance” that creates educational materials on civil rights, diversity, and other social-justice-type topics. One of which is a “Toolkit for Sex, Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, Gender Expression” for grades K-2, which I thought sounded pretty 
.
Until I noticed that its “Which Outfit?” coloring handout includes, along with shirts, dresses, ties, overalls etc., an undeniable MERMAID-TAIL COSTUME!! The SPLC is clearly trying to turn your child or grandchild or neighbor’s child into an advocate for transspeciesism!! So now of course I’m all :eek: :eek: :mad: :mad: :mad:.
Edit: and don’t even get me started on the accompanying “Which Hairdo?” coloring handout, which is clearly trying to turn your child into a Marie Antoinette impersonator.
(Nitpick: by the way, where the hell did this paranoid wacko get the idea that men’s or boys’ clothing can’t be called “outfits”? Google search has like 14 million hits for the search term “men’s outfits”.)
Because in her little corner of her red state, no one uses that particular phrase. If it isn’t in her personal experience, it is obviously a plot by the transsexualists.
“I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy…”
We see by our outfits that we are both cowboys
And if you get an outfit, you can be a cowboy, too…
♫*…Mammas, don’t let your boys grow up to be mermaids…
Don’t let 'em wear dresses and drive Barbie Corvettes
Make 'em wear pants and manly, masculine hair cuts…*♫
It’s this sort of thing that makes me wonder why we even have local elected school boards. Why not just let the state Department of Education run the schools?
Home rule is a big, big thing. When I left New Jersey, there were over 600 school districts, because every little township had to have their own. California has a little over 1,000.
!!! In Florida we just have 67, one for each county.
States’ rights. Fucking Tommy Jefferson, man.
We’re not even talking states’ rights here, we’re talking counties’ or townships’ rights. Why can’t the state DoEs run the states’ public schools?
To be fair, that particular Ryan’s crime was encouraging his then-wife, actress Jeri Ryan, to have sex in public. Your definition of “crime” may vary.
Posse Comitatus, dude.
For those who aren’t following the Ben Carson threads:
Carson has demanded an apology from the WSJ for saying that the course he named in his book, Perceptions 301, was not offered at Yale when Carson attended.
Carson reportedly posted a link to the Yale syllabus, and said, “Allow me also to do the research for the Wall Street Journal reporter. Here is a syllabus for the class you claim never existed. Still waiting on the apology.”
Here’s the link to the syllabus. It completely vindicates Carson.
Well, except that the name of the course is Psych 323, not Perceptions 301. And the date of the course is 2002, not the early 70’s. The professor received his PhD in 1999, so he was probably not born when Carson was at Yale. And as I speculated in an earlier post in one of these threads, as a 300-level course, it has a very limited enrollment (Carson claimed his had 150 students). To be specific, each student is required to give a presentation of 10 to 15 minutes. Only two class days are allotted for this, a total of 2.5 hours. So if each student took the minimum 10 minutes, and each began speaking the instant the previous one finished, there would be time for 15 students. Given the time it would take for one student to follow another, and the prof’s comments before, during, and after the presentations, an enrollment of 10 seems more feasible.
He also posted an undated story about a hoax psychology retest at Yale. It doesn’t have a single detail that matches Carson’s story, but he again claims that he deserves an apology.
So it appears that he didn’t make the story up out of thin air; he saw that article, and concocted a version where he would be the star of the story.
He’s plagiarizing his lies.
Wow, it would had been easier to just toss his cowriter under the bus, and in another thread it is clear that that is what he has done in a recent interview.
What it would be interesting is to find when he did the toss and when he demanded the apology to the WSJ. I would not be surprised though that he is doing both moves regardless if they are in essence contradictory.
Carson also demonstrates what I have observed with many extreme conservatives, they do have a huge blind spot when they have to deal with time lines.
The space-time continuum has a liberal bias.
No no no. the space-time continuum has had/will have a huge liberal bias.
Will have had …
