From The Columbia Daily Tribune, Missouri
A painting depicting President Barack Obama next to a hammer and sickle symbol hung for nearly two weeks at Hallsville High School. It was taken down Monday after complaints.
A student with excellent political insight? Teachers allowing free thought? How long did the painting hang before the first complaints started coming in? What were the complaints about? I’m impressed and distraught, all at the same time. I want to know what were the major complaints about this painting.
Even though she was disappointed that the painting was taken down, she said the issue served as “a good learning experience” for staff and students. Some students, she said, didn’t understand why the symbol was controversial.
“Everyone was like, ‘Why is it so wrong? Because it’s pink?’ ” Williamson said of the painting. “I think even some adults didn’t understand it.”
If children, and adults, do not recognize the honesty in the painting, then we are as a country doomed to Socialism.

Not entirely related, but equally amusing; San Francisco Tea Party people were well equipped to handle the Pro-Obama Kooks. It’s ironic, and classic Lyndon LaRouche. Plus, it’s funny. Sorta ironic in the way the left characterized Bush as Hitler, the far loony, try to pass themselves off as Tea Party people. Some people plan things out, then some people plan things badly.
Either way, I’m wondering if anyone sees the larger picture?
WHAT’S FOR DINNER?

If this student was hanging the Mexican flag or burning the American flag, then he would have First Amendment rights.

Hey, the teabaggees didn’t like your poster. They forgot to give you credit though. And their reasons for not liking it…oh, incoherent as usual.
Same ol’ dialog; our side points out that freedom and liberty are important and worth preserving, their side “argues” like Beavis and Butthead. Oh well. Awesome poster.

After reading their post and comments, it seems they have a proclivity for bashing anything that comes close to their own ideology. Down right defensive, I’d say.

[…] No matter. If TBogg or some among his audience thought more kindly upon this ancient and perhaps dying practice of thinking like a grown-up, perhaps one among them would have figured out the graphic was not my creation, but that of Kini Aloha Guy. […]

Yawn, all right-wingers know is ‘Anything I don’t agree with=SOCIALISM’
These stubborn brats simply shouting down the opposition constantly are seriously holding society back, and should be left in the dust if we want our society to move forward.
For all their faults at least leftists dont constantly threaten their opponents with violence or outright racism like the TP does.

Good to hear from a happy socialist, Harryj@hotmail.com, as he left his excrement comment on my blog.
And what an appropriate name Testicus Maximus, it suits you well Harry!
Glad you could spent your time to visit and comment, I hope you weren’t too bored.
