Great article!

Little Miss Catherine is probably lucky that she is a cracker. If she were a negro, she would probably not lived long enough to put on the Oblahblah shirt.

Banging my hands together for that young lady.
She has bigger balls than Obama.

Denny if you had an award that represented the oppotite of the asshole of the week award...would it not go to Catherine???

I went to the actual article so I could read some of the comments. Many of the libs are complaining that they're only children, and you can't apply this to society as a whole. It was good to see that there were just as many comments pointing out that it was a learned behavior.

That was written by John Kass of the Trib. He's a good columnist, and he's fair. The Dems in Chicago, including Mayor Daley, hate him for the most part because he is fair. Shocking, huh?

Someone needs to contact her parents and congratulate them on raising a girl in that environment that
1) exhibits the bravery to pull off such an experiment in the environment she was in
2) Has the intellect to bite her tongue when she would just love to point out her fellow students (and teachers) hypocrisy during the course of her little experiment.
3) was smart enough to recognize, before she even started the experiment, that she would be able to prove the left racist, intolerant, violent and hypocrittical.

I for one would be uber proud if this were my kid, and I hope this gets picked up by large media venues to once again reveal the racism rampant in the left's reptoire.

What can't the AJC have writers like Mr. Kass?

This will not be tolerated under an Obama regime......Tee Shirt police tryouts will be conducted beginning Feb 1,2009

Excellent work. It puts a smile on my face to see that future generations aren't completely upside down just yet.

Cheers Catherine!

Is it too late to elect HER President?

And this shite surprises ANY of us how ?

this is a reminder of why I can't stand 80% of humans.

Patrick, you are kinder than I. I'm thinking more like 90% of humans are scum.

What a wonderful girl...she will leave her peers far behind...good for us!

Bravo little one
While she may have shown her classmates the truth it will be no time at all until the scumbag teachers, deadbeat parents and the media will erase her good work . In my sons classroom they are already running videos of how great FDR's CCC civilian conservation corps's was and how it brought us out of the great depression . Kinda setting the stage for Ugh-bamas version of the same . PBS is running the same videos . First it was Al Gores movie played over and over now this . If we dont do anything else we should all get involved in the schools and stop this shit . I send my kid to school to be educated not re-educated in marxist fashion . I want my son to own the fricking rice pattys not work in them .

Proof that the kool-aid guzzling morons who voted for B. HUSSEIN are just like their candidate -- fucking assholes.

Darrel G-

That's why I homeschool my son. I even yanked him out of a "private catholic" school because of the B.S. going on in there. He was being taught shit that I certainly don't agree with. One of his teachers was doing a "redistribution" of grades in a way. She took all the scores from the test, found the average, and that was their score. WTF??? So, even if my kid got 100%, since others got well below that, he had to take a lesser grade and they got a better one. Screw that. My son will know what it means and takes to be a productive American.

The Left truly has no shame. Going after kids...My God, is there NOTHING they won't stoop to ?

MILF, I can see your point. My wife made my 14 year old daughter read this post and we discussed it last night at the dinner table. When you listen to your kids, it's amazing how much liberal brainwashing goes on at our public schools.

I live in Illinois which is already socialist, but my daughter told me she had a teacher that would wear an Obama shirt to school, and several of them were wearing Obama pins. One wrote "We Won" on the chalkbaord the day after the election. I told my daughter that that was called the political indoctrination of children, and it should be illegal for them to do that. But of course, this is Illinois, and I better watch what I say or it could endager my family.

Holy crap Steve! You and Sue are letting your kids read the rantings of their cousin? Keep them away from the boobage.

Steve S,

I also am a teacher's aide for catechism on Wednesday nights since I now homeschool. The "teacher" I was placed with had no shame in voicing who she voted for, Obama, to the second grade students in our class. These kids are only eight years old and she is spewing her beliefs in a religion class. But it doesn't surprise me that she voted for JHE. She recieves Title 19 assistance from the state. So of course she's all about socialism.

Dinner table discussions are always the best way to reach out to our kids and hear in return what is going on in "their" world. It's interesting I turned out how I did. My parents are both hard-core dimocrats and also work for their party when needed. I am the only right-wing thinker in my family. Maybe that's why I am also the only one who has all her vehicles paid for, a new house, and I work from home making more than them. Hmmm...Interesting.

Good luck with your 14 year old daughter. We have a 15 year old daughter and they are not easy sometimes!

Teenage daughters not easy??? Naw. Just chain them to the hot water heater as soon as they hit puberty and let them out as soon as they are old enough to leave home. Raising a girl from age 13 to 18 is like five years in the dentisit chair without novocain.

Actually, our teenager isn't too bad. She is headed for Valedictorian and really doesn't get into trouble. Not like I did, anyway! Maybe that's why...She knows I know what goes on. The only thing we have to worry about with her is making sure her cell phone doesn't grow into her head.

Our other daughter, however, she needs to be locked up. At 12 she has already tried sneaking out of the house(which is funny because anyone coming in or out of the house alerts our dog to start barking, regardless of who it is), has had NUMEROUS boys call the house(where are their parents?), and tries to dress like she's twenty with her shirt cut down to there and her shorts/skirt up to here. Unfortunately, she is my step-daughter and she has her daddy wrapped around her finger. The main thing we argue about is how she dresses. My husband says I wear low-cut blouses, so she is just following my example. Here's the thing, I am an adult and a bonafide milf(ask Denny, he knows), I am supposed to look good. She is 12, I don't think it's appropriate at her age. I will regretfully repeat what my parents told me at that age,
"As long as you are under my roof, you will follow my rules. When you are all grown up and making your own money, do what you want, but remember there are always consequences to your actions, whether good or bad." I will go vomit now.

Denny, you'll have to talk to Sue about that.
I just try to tell my kids not to believe everything their teachers tell them, but to never openly disagree with them. No point getting bad grade because you actually have the ability to think for yourself.

What I'd really like to know is how Mom explained her political stance, when it's obvious she's a promoter of mindless political drivel.

Milf in Iowa,

Stick to your guns and your convictions. It's that mentality that raised previous generations (WW1 and WW2 era folks) into becoming the greatest generation there ever was. If we could just go back to those days and their ideals, the world would be a better place.

Ray,

I absolutely agree with you! I think I got my ways from my grandparents. Since my parents divorced when I was 2 and my mother took off to God knows where, they were the ones who took my brothers and me every other weekend. I learned more from them than I ever learned from my dad and step-mom. My grandfather served in the Navy during WWII and my grandmother grew up in the depression in Chicago of all places. They are both gone now, but I hope I can keep their legacy going with my son.

I often joke about wanting to go back to "pioneer" days. Everyone fended for themselves. Planted their own gardens, worked hard all day and spent time with family at night. Besides, nothing beats a "home-cooked" meal, right? I refuse to make anything that comes out of a box. Bleh! I think it's important to learn how to do things the hard way. It tastes better, too.

I will definitely stick to my guns, always have, and my religion. If anyone disagrees with me, that's fine. That's their choice. I know I am on the right path.

I think conservatives need to stop trying to take the high road. This is war, and we need to be in the trenches with the left, slinging mud, stealing votes (Gregoire, Franken), creating ACORN-like political action groups and labor unions, to intimidate and coerce, ruthlessly taking advantage of every opening we get. We should forget about individual issues (religious right, right to life, taxes, environment, military -- anything) and concentrate on two things and two things only: constitutional constructionism and capitalism. If we do that, all the other issues will fall into place in time.

The left wants us distracted on the details so we miss the forest for the trees. The first thing we need to do is start fighting dirtbags like ayers (lowercase out of disrespect) in the colleges and universities, and I mean 60's style disruption and civil disobedience. Walkouts, sit ins, demonstrations, marches in every city in the nation. If they reinstate the "fairness" doctrine, we should set up our own transmitters on clear channels and keep talking. We can call it "Radio Free America". They can't arrest all of us.

I think we need to focus on the universities first, because they are the ones turning out the elementary teachers who are subverting our children, and they are the ones turning out the journalists who are subverting our media. Simultaneously, we should focus on the urban areas (blue counties). I am not sure what tactics that the left used, but I suspect we can borrow from Alinsky. I think what's good for the goose is probably good for the gander in this context.

I am livid that this election was the first I ever heard of ACORN, Alinsky, Gramsci, Ayers, Wright and others, even though their doctrine and their followers have been operating right under our noses for 30 years or more. How did we miss that? Who didn't take them seriously?

We have to fix that before we can get conservatives elected to government again. All the Reagans in the world won't help us if we can't get them elected. And if elected, they'll have no lasting effect if we don't win the hearts and minds of the general public. Getting conservatives elected is important, but a waste of time when 90% of the population has never heard the word "capitalist" uttered without appending the word "pig". When they don't understand why power concentrated in government is dangerous. The richest man, or the worst monopolist might have more power than I do, but he can never legally incarcerate me or take my money against my will. The government can, and does.

That is kick-ass, Denny. I couldn't resist posting on ConClub.

Great post KarlU. Couldn't have agreed with you more. Problem is the overwhelming feeling of uselessness. Back in the 17 and 18 hundreds there were so many fewer people here that I'm sure it felt like one person could make a difference. Now I'm not so sure anymore. It would take a grass root effort with A LOT of followers signing on in order to get a good conservative, return to our roots movement started in this country and I think most of us don't really know where to begin and if "beginning" would ever make a difference.

Thanks Ray, I also feel useless as an individual. I am depending on other conservatives to help with this -- if they think it is worth doing. I see several areas that need work and research.

1. We need to figure out how the Democrats are able to keep finding new ballots with votes for Al Franken (just as they did with the Gregoire/Rossi Washington state gubernatorial election in 2004). We need to do the same, whether it's "legal" or not. If they can do it, so can we. Of course, the media will blow the whistle on us, but once the whistle is blown, then I think the jig is up for both sides.

2. We need to figure out how dozens or hundreds of radicals like william ayers and ward chuchill (lowercase out of disrespect) managed to become tenured professors at colleges and universities in the 1970s and '80s, and now control the agenda. Then we need to do the same, and begin to subvert the liberal agenda in those institutions as they have been subverting traditional values. We have The Enlightenment on our side. The radical profs almost all embrace post modernism (lowercase out of disrespect), which is a dismal failure. Colleges and universities must stop churning out graduates (useful idiots) who become elementary school teachers who subvert our very own children, journalists who subvert our media, and lawyers who subvert our legal system, or worse, become legislators.

3. We need to counteract the animosity that workers have for their employers. Union rank-and-file tend to get stirred up by union bosses who have an unholy alliance with socialism and Democrats. Many rank-and-file would not have so much animus on their own, and in fact, would not even join a union were it not for union strongarm tactics, such as the one being discussed now, which would deprecate the secret ballot for union votes. How can any fair-minded person propose such a thing? It's a power grab of the most disgusting kind.

4. We need to figure out how to couch liberty and capitalism (but I repeat myself) in ways that resonate with the underdogs(the poor, labor, minorities), and organize them into activist groups the same way that the left does so successfully. Then stir them up to demonstrate against the big, impersonal government using the saul alinsky (lowercase out of disrespect) rules for radicals. Conservatives must become, and cultivate, radicals.

These efforts will not begin to bear fruit for another generation or two. I won't be alive to see it. Perhaps there are shorter term options that we can also bring to bear, but I don't know what they are. Perhaps conservative talk radio. That's where other people come in. I can't think of everything.

Nothing new here, just surprised that the Trib printed the story.

Some newspapers are banning people who call Hussein, Hussein.

Kids acting immaturely? Shocking! I'm 14 years old so I can relate. I would have wanted to kill her as well.

I am sorry McCain lost. Obama sux and Sarah Palin is hot!

There you go again being right Denny. damn you! I was really hoping to suck McCain off while Palin bitch-slapped me. i guess i was wrong again.

maybe when i grow up, my balls drop, and I come of age to vote i'll actually post something worthy of reading.

then again, maybe not.
