Politicizing Children

0 Informed Opinions




I'm sorry, but any political message pushed on children is wrong, period. Do we really have to have the discussion about who's responsibility it is to raise a child, again?! Parents alone should determine what if any religious exposure a child has, as well as what if any political exposure a child should have. And, while we're on the subject, let's add sex to that list.

UPDATE
Missed this at Moonbattery.

Please take the time to comment!

(UPDATED) In Case You Didn't Know

3 Informed Opinions


UPDATE- Andy and ChristinaJade share their political leanings! Also, I've adjusted where a few folks lie on the political spectrum. Let me know your thoughts!



---

I align with the political 'Far Right.' I am one of those nut jobs your President warned you about.

My Political Views
Classicaliberal is a far-right social moderate. He is also a neo-con and culturally conservative. Classicaliberal's scores (from 0 to 10):
Economic issues:+8.78 right
Social issues:+0.19 libertarian
Foreign policy:+4.52 neo-con
Cultural identification:+4.15 conservative

Political Spectrum Quiz

However, as most of us know, the political spectrum as illustrated above is a misnomer. It should look more like this:
Some notes:
  • Obama is the most radical leftist President America has known.
  • Reagan is placed where he was philosophically at the end of his Presidency. He started off with a much more aggressive stance on the size and role of Government (i.e. he ran on eliminating the Dept. of Education).
  • Notice the little difference between Johnny Mac and Billy Jeff.
  • Ron Paul is an isolationist who wants to repeal the Federal Reserve. In my limited study on currently serving politicians, he would be the most 'anarchist' candidate around.
  • I believe I align closely with where Reagan was as a candidate. Less government, specifically in the form of eliminating the Dept. of Education and scaling back the role of the Dept. of Engery, however, I believe that some government involvement is required in our monetary supply. That's why I'm a little closer to center than Ron Paul.
  • America is a center right country, thus the big blue dot. Most Americans are content with the amount of government currently, and the country leans just a little liberal on social issues.
  • This graph clearly indicates that the whole 'Right Wing Nazi' thing is a farce. Nazi is the German word for Nationalist Socialist Party. Nationalists and Socialists are in favor of complete governmental control, which falls on the far left of the political spectrum. It is impossible to be politically conservative and a nazi, or fascist.
Where do you fall? Let me know in the comments below. Where do you think the Founders would fall on this list? Feel free to download the image and MS Paint your name in where you feel you belong. Email your graph back to me. If I receive enough of a response, I'll post the results later this week. Happy painting!

Boobs in the Classroom!

For the record, I HATE the Patriotwats.


Apparently a Physics Professor at George Mason University is so desperate to get his students to pay attention and learn sumthin' that he's employing cheerleaders for a series of online lesson videos. I'm all for cheerleaders. I am also all for learning. I don't see a downside here...
