A Tea Party Wants Mandatory Christmas Carols In Public Schools

[Ravi]

Like I said before the majority of tea party people would tar and feather the guy who proposed this because it goes against the very thing we want, a constitutionally and fiscally responsible representation.

Putting this person up as representative of tea party people, which was done by Ariana Huffington's site (the origin of this thread), is a classic straw man.

I'd believe you if the evidence of what posters are saying on this very thread didn't prove you wrong.

I'm not saying it does. But there is no reason to make it mandatory. If anyone who is small Government should agree. Leave it up to the individual schools. If enough parents complain, I'm sure it will be changed.

However, making a law is ridiculous.

my little at the end was to denote me being a wise ass

I didn't think you were saying it does.

On this topic you and I agree way more than we disagree, i dont think it should be mandatory that there are or mandatory that there are not christamas or other holiday carols sung in schools. That should be up to the PTA/School faculty IMO.

Indeed making a law mandating christmas carols is equally as ludicris as making a law banning them.

You know our country is F-ed in the head when this is an actual topic of discussion.

What was that you were saying ravi?

Since when does Robert support the teapartiers? Are you purposely being an idiot?

That reminds me...the ACLU has lost one of it's major donors this year because of the financial collapse. Everyone...give out memberships to the ACLU for Christmas this year! Great stocking stuffer.

And it's teh awesome being a card carrying member of the ACLU.

considering dogbert and I are agreeing in this thread on this subject(and i have been to tea party rallies).....i'll just say you seem to not be very observant.

Willfully obtuse, you are.

 

[Modbert]

For the record, I do not support the tea parties.

Ravi: I think Pilgrim is saying that he agrees with me on the fact that there should be no law mandating anything. He's going on to say that the "majority" of tea party people are the same way. Whether the second half of his statement is true is up to debate.

I think I set the record straight?

you read my mind, I was going to say that instead of not observant but thought not observant sounded nicer

I know what he meant...but he misdirected. As you can see from Yurt and Willow and a few others, those that support the teapartiers and this stupidity are reflective of the majority of teapartiers. He's just a small exception.

.... see the media spin has it that Rudolph was a friggin reindeer but everyone knows he was a grumpy red nosed hard drinking coyote

Well a good deal of the people involved with the tea parties on here is a good reason why I do not support them. All they are is an agenda to seem non-partisan but just to promote the same Republican ideals. As long as the Tea Parties embrace people like Palin, I can not see them as fiscally intelligent.

If you ever listen to the song, you realize how cruel all the other raindeer and even Santa is. Then suddenly they all accept him, despite all the emotional abuse.

Yup....and from what ravi added about some who support the tea parties i guess it is up for debate.

You should both just go walk through one the next time a tea gathering is going on near you just to see for yourself what the people are like.

Being from MA i might have skewed view as a lot of democrats are at the ones i go to.

This is likely it. One in Texas is probably completely different than one in MA.

The one in boston was on the outskirts of cambridge....and if you didn't know the only people living in cambridge are progressives and communists, they dont even allow normal liberals in that town

As if your opinion was the be all and end all of everything and as if your idealogy has any legs to get you pass the next couple of years. I'm not saying you can't have an opinion but I am saying is that finding those that support your opinion will become harder and harder. Essentially, you will be all alone shouting what you believe while no one else will care.

Goodbye

the only stupidity in this thread is your inability to form a cogent argument as to why the community/students should not be allowed to choose instead of a few admin officials.....

you have run away from questions, yet here are you ad homing as if you've displayed such great intellect in this thread....until you form a cogent rational as to why the community/students should not choose over a few admin officials....you really have no say in this matter

 

[Yurt]

what is with the logical fallacy of others pointing to other religions as some sort of debate point on this topic? it is a false analogy, and a red herring. when those religions have a national holiday, then you have a point. as it stands, christmas is a national holiday. and you libs, the so called supporters of freedom etc....don't want freedom when it comes to allowing the community/students to choose whether to sing carols or not. if you guys truly don't care, then what difference does it make to you if the admin chooses or the community/students choose?

in reality, it doesn't. and so far, no one has offered a single rational reason why the inititiave is harmful and how it could possibly violate the 1st amendment, given that christmas is a national holiday.

 

[noose4]

Freedom means the FREEDOM to express yourself, you pea brained nitwit.

SUPPRESSION is refusing people the right to do so.

So how is it elminating freedom to allow children the opportunity to sing Christmas carols?

Hey scumbag keep your stupid superstitions out of the public schools, you want to sing to your god do so in your church you steaming pile of dog shit.

Lol. I live in America, you worthless fuck. I can do whatever the fuck I want as long as it's legal, and so can my kids.
So, say, you find the color black offensive. Would it be okay for you to elminate blacks from the schools as well?

If you can do any thing you want then what the fuck are you complaining about you insipid moron?
