This is a fine example of the bud that germinates into a government that goes after, attacks, imprisons and murders their own citizens for their political dissent-and goes to show how close to the surface the underlying mentality that first allows such a notion to even grow is already right here. And teaching children. Leftwing ideology is based on the premise they have an inherent right to rule and FORCE their will on others because they and ONLY they -know best and ONLY they are "properly" motivated by pure, touchy-feely kinds of reasons. If they know best then it must mean those who disagree DON'T and their speech becomes just "too dangerous" to allow others to even hear since it can lead others from THE TRUTH AND THE ONLY WAY! In the Soviet Union the ruling elite believed political dissent could only result from either bad character or insanity which justified throwing political dissidents into prison or "mental hospitals" and pumping them full of drugs and deliberately turning them into vegetables. (Interestingly the Soviets also produced nonstop "studies" showing how the most "intelligent and the most compassionate" people were soviet comrades who fully embraced the communist monster - which must mean those who rejected communism were nothing but the evil scum of the earth, degenerates, malcontents and just about any other pejorative possible, motivated by pure evil. Which would definitely mean our founders were the evil scum of the earth -which is why the left either trashes the founders or deliberately re-writes and misinterprets what they said and wrote in order to portray them as near commie loving totalitarians too.)
Aside from the ludicrous notion that a Republican's candidacy should be judged by whether he was at all times a perfect child and adolescent when the entire point of growing up is learning to become a civilized human being and doing or saying things one never would as a mature adult definitely happens to us all - what I found to be most striking and best demonstrates the complete lack of critical thinking skills of the left was the discussion itself. She commented that Romney supposedly bullied someone as a teen (and she meant it as if that fact alone disqualified him for the Presidency) - and the student pointed out that Obama once bullied a student as well. She actually said that was DIFFERENT! And what made it different in her mind? The fact Obama is already President means his bullying incident was completely irrelevant and shouldn't even be discussed! She said it only mattered that Romney once did this (and I will refrain from using the word "allegedly" although assume it there throughout. When there is a real lack of credibility for this story including from the alleged victim's family as well as zero memory for it from alleged perpetrator, this would never be anything but an alleged incident. Believe me, if MY brother came home with his hair chopped up for ANY reason, my entire family would know and remember it! Or are they going to claim Romney actually gave him a well styled haircut?) Aside from the fact she is idiotically discussing events from someone's CHILDHOOD when they were still a minor as if it tells a damn thing about either man TODAY -she actually said judging a man for a SINGLE childhood event was only relevant about ONE of them and she believes it is wrong to apply that same standard to the Democrat President! She, as a typical leftist not only used a double standard -she said it was JUSTIFIED. That is the mind of a liberal in a nutshell -double standards, no standards -whatever works to put the other guy at the greatest disadvantage and gives their own side the greatest advantage -is JUSTIFIED.
She said it only mattered that Romney had bullied someone once because he wanted to BE President -whereas it didn't matter at all that Obama had bullied someone (by his own admission) because he WAS President. I listened to the tape of her saying this and I still can't get my jaw up off the ground. Only in the mind of a raging nutjob liberal is that "logical". Of course after she said the student could be arrested for bad mouthing Obama, another student pointed out that people talked shit about Bush all the time. Again she revealed why she should never be allowed around students as a teacher and said "that's different -Bush was shitty." She truly represents the lack of critical skills of the left and highlights the fact the typical liberal is nothing but a mental midget incapable of rational discussion and participating in a well reasoned debate of ideas.
Liberalism truly is a mental illness.
