Social Studies Drop-Out

In this time of politics, comments get thrown about by all sides making accusations of this and that. Some are mildly entertaining, some actually make a point. However, sometimes someone chooses to write something down they never should have. For those moments, we may need an alarm in a computer or keyboard that goes off when someone is about to write something stupid. *Whoop, whoop, STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD, you are about to hit enter on something really stupid.”

But then again, I wouldn’t get the ammunition for this Are You Thinking Award. Enough of that let us get to the fun.

On a conservative political blog named Wake Up America, the author mpinkeyes wrote an entry on Ron Paul Blasts John McCain at CPAC Convention. Dr. Ron Paul does not find John McCain to be a true conservative and said so. The same feelings are held by mpinkeyes. Okay, no problem there. The opinions were well stated. But a commentator named Wyomingjohnnie should have heeded the warning from his computer. Dang, it wasn’t installed yet. Well, this is what he wrote:

“Wyomingjohnnie, on February 9th, 2008 at 7:15 am Said:

Bruce Majors, a Washington DC male hooker, is endorsing Ron Paul for his own illegal designs.

Bruce believes sex with minors of the same gender is a right under the Constitution, and is stating this publically

If this is the platform others wish to enbrace for Dr Paul, I will cast my vote elsewhere.

How does a group like this support such a perversion of truith ethis values and the law?”

Yes, all of those spelling errors are exactly as they were posted. Now just a few questions for this brain surgeon in Wyoming. (I would like to give my deepest apologies to the residents of Wyoming for this bad press.)

1) Do you realize the candidate makes the platform for people to embrace or reject? This goes back to remedial Social Studies.

2) Do you realize Dr. Paul is mainly running to get a message out and win re-election of his House seat?

3) Do you realize Dr. Paul is mathematically nearly eliminated from the Republican candidacy so whether or not you cast your vote is meaningless?

4) Do you realize Wyoming has a small population with few delegates and votes on 3/8/2008 by the time when McCain will likely have the nomination locked up?

5) Would you take the word of Charles Manson on a political candidate too? Would Manson the mass-murderer have any say in embracing a platform for a candidate?

6) Why are you listening to the ravings of a male hooker in Washington DC about his desire for legalized homosexual statutory rape in the first place?

7) Who gives a crap what Bruce Majors believes? If Schmo Schmuck endorses Hillary and believes all found guilty of statutory rape should be castrated, would that guide your decision making on Hillary?

8) Congratulations on winning your award. What is the name of the award you ask? Are You Thinking?

Dear Johnnie, Please check back in to school and finish your Social Studies class.

Now some students may not have had the best social studies lesson plans, but everyone should know a thing or two about politics. Understanding how politics has affected US history can help you make informed voting decisions, and there is plenty of online learning resources that can get you informed.
