This is what, the fourth or fifth now?
Actually, it's standard operating procedure for roy - for some reason, he always starts his own thread because (I think) he thinks he can say the same b.s. better than anyone else.

And, I'm curious - why did the link that roy posted not identify itself as being from that particular website? Was that intentional? To rope people into opening something they might not otherwise open? If that's the case, it seems pretty deceitful to me.

I don't read left wing sources so I can't provide you with anything you can read. Sorry.

Maybe you would like to comment on the thing from the FDR bio they inserted the Obama words into. It was right there for you to read and comment on without opening the link.

Can't read your link because there is a pop-up ad in the way.

You're not supposed to be believed Roy. You're expected to debate, on your own terms, and only backing up your claims with credible sources, not with incredible stupidity that these links are about.

And I'm not brain-dead yet to give these right wing-nuttery of websites any credibility. If you can't handle any source that doesn't bode well with what you want to believe, how about you simply make an argument worth debating?

But you expect others to read your right-wing sources and talk about them as if they are valid. As another poster stated, why don't you post your own ideas and discuss those, instead of seeing something written by others and posting that and expecting others here to dicuss their (not your) ideas.
FYI, "They" is not Obama, it means other people, just so ya know.

Same here.

I've often thought that if my kid had a teacher who taught with the same bias that roy shows here, I'd be at the school demanding that teacher either cease and desist with his political propaganda or I'd take the issue to the school board - and above, if necessary.

On second thought... Roy should be glad he didn't have one of my kids in his class. Sort of reminds me of my high school Math teacher whose response to one of my questions was: are you trying to test me? He remains to be possibly the only teacher who probably hates me to this day. In fact, my school’s principal at the time (he is a Parish Priest in Louisiana now) and I were just talking about it a couple of weeks ago.

When we first moved here (a very conservative county), two of my boys came home from one of their first days in their new high school and told me about one of the teachers they had who had a number of pictures of George W. hanging in the classroom and that this teacher frequently talked about how Bush was one of the best presidents we had ever had (this was in '05).

There were a few other political references made in the classroom (I can't remember what they were now) and I was quite upset that he would be trying to influence the kids with his political agenda.

I was going to go to the school and complain but my kids begged me not to. In hindsight, I'm pretty sure what that teacher did probably pales in comparison to how roy taught, if his posts here are any indication.

I am going to gloat the daylights out of this forum when Obama get's reelected. Seriously, even repugnicants think Romney's a soul-less robot who will say anything, flippin' and'a floppin' like the day is long. Congrats on finding your own John Kerry, GOP
