You mean like those who are going ape shit over some guy that they believe has the power to unravel the fabric of our humanistic liberal society by dictating evil christian lies into every text book and brainwashing our defenseless little children? tonyhaysNot too surprising though.

jakee 1,489 #18 July 16, 2015 rushmc No different than calling someone bigoted or a racists... It is a very disgusting thing to do Indeed. When presented with specific examples of things that lobbyists are trying to shoehorn into textbooks against the wishes of teachers and educators your response is that your just fighting back against 'Liberals, and things liberals do'. No examples, just a blanket assumption that liberals are bad, and things liberals want must be bad. You're exactly right, it is disgustingDo you want to have an ideagasm?
