"Similarly, just two nights ago I saw a report on TV the other night where a black college was giving freshmen students passing grades just for attending class...even if they didn't do any assignments and failed their exams. The story centered around a black professor who was fired for refusing to go along with the program. Imagine! You can't be fired for being an incompetent teacher, where kids aren't learning...but you can be fired for requiring students to actually do the work!"

This sounds truly terrible. No school should remain anonymous after doing such a thing. Please identify the school and the professor for us.

Oh, Please do! Tell us how upset you were, and how often you spoke out, back in the 1950s, when black children were bussed past 'white-only' schools to protect the white chldren from integration. WHY is it that you and other racists only object to "forced busing" when it's used to integrate, and NEVER when it was used to segregate? As you said:

Still in the category of 'getting your facts straight', why not explain how you got to this conclusion after all the years of fighting and LAWSUITS by conservative, male dominated firefighters' unions to PREVENT sexual integration of the force? Why do you LIE about that history just to justify a slam against unions?
Now that you've explained that LIE away, please move on to citing us to the verifiable statistics that support your pretense that there have been more injuries and deaths as a result of sexually integrating the firefighters.
Maybe you'd also be willing to go back in time, since rewriting history appears to be one of your hobbies, and explain why you conservatives opposed racial integration of firefighter and police forces before you opposed sexual integration? Remember, back when you didn't want any n****rs fighting fires or carrying a badge and gun, you argued that such integration would disrupt the force cohesiveness.
Now, of course, that racial and sexual integration is a fact, you conservatives are looking for new scapegoats against whom to practice your beloved bigotry. So you argue that public safety will be harmed if we let 'fags' into the police, the firefighters, the teachers corp., etc.

Sure, just as established by census and other data. NOT! I guess this explains your support for Bush's opposition to Head Start and other programs with proven track records?
Just a clarification, since you PRETEND to be opposed to the "welfare state", why not explain to us why there is NOT ONE bit of corporate welfare we have heard you criticise?

"Here's an interesting thing you can look at. Go to the iTunes music store and click on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts for the year. Start anywhere you want prior to 1990 or so and start clicking the year...Now start moving forward in time to 2003. Notce anything? The number of explicit notices from 2000 goes up dramatically. From none, to 2003, which had either a "clean" (as if you don't know what's being said) or an "Explicit" label. In 2003 there were 11 out of the top 28 with this "status." Young Buck is now being sought for stabbing somone at an awards show. Rappers kill each other. An art exhibit with elephant dung on an image of the Virgin Mary. "Piss Christ" a bottle containing a Crucifix in urine. I'm aware enough to know that some music doesn't speak to me."

I guess I'm having a senior moment here. Please remind me, just which Rapper was it who made "An art exhibit with elephant dung on an image of the Virgin Mary."? And which Rapper was it who made "Piss Christ"?
I do appreciate you pointing out that these changes you find so horrifying happened from 2000 to 2003, the years when your beloved Saint George was overseeing the furter consolidation of media under huge WALL ST. CONSERVATIVE corporations. I guess your point is that this kind of "explicit" music and art which conservatives want to increase?

Why then do you lavish praise on everything he has done, and make up false claims about those who oppose him or who have opposed his parties policies in the past?

OK, I see, I take back all my questions. After reading this, I can see that your entire post is meant as sarcasm or a satire of "conservative" thought.
