Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

A 12-year-old upstate boy says the trusted educators in his local school forced him to take a cocktail of drugs that turned him into a psychotic who heard voices in his head.

The boy, Michael Mozer, plans to sue the school officials who went so far as to file a medical-neglect and child-abuse complaint against his mother with the state's Department of Children and Family Services after she stopped the medication.

They even banned him from attending classes unless he was drugged and then accused his mother, Patricia Weathers, of educational neglect.

Schools demanding drugs
Stifling refulgent jewels
Children don’t need dope

The schools in our country are turning into drug dealing indoctrination camps. Their answer to everything is to medicate a child. They have stifled the learning process, created nothing but children who don’t know how top deal with life situations because they have been medicated beyond rational thought. To file a child abuse complaint against a parent who finally saw the light and refused to allow her child to be doped up is an example of their extreme arrogance and control. These people don’t care about our children, they only care that you are doing what they say, and right now… their telling you to keep your kids sedated. The mind is so much easier to control that way, don’tcha know.

The more I hear, the more I loathe the public school system and it’s minions. Yes I realize that there are some good people out there trying to fight the good battle, but they are out-numbered, out-moneyed and out-slicked. What they should be is outlawed. /mini-rant, disgusted voice, temper tantrum

Every day we shove and push
To be the first on the short bus
Xsmommy, hobbes and dubs
Wetbars, closets and beer tubs
If you really think you’re strong
Maybe you can ride along
I don’t want to cause no fuss
But here it is – the new Short Bus!

Short bus, short BUS
Short bus, short BUS

Bet you things don’t get too far
Before camle’s got a new cigar
Argh is running for his life
From ending up with the ex-wife
Gabz is getting far from fat
Swimming round in the beer vat
There’se no rules, and there’s no muss
Ridin’ on this here Short Bus

Short bus, short BUS
Short bus, short BUS


Singing:

WotsamoddaU hey,
Gotta no respect, whatta you think you do,
Why you looka so sad?
It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place,
Ah, Shaddap You Face.


Well, I don’t know why I came here today
I got the feeling that things ain’t goin my way.
I’m so scared in case I fall up the stairs
And that noise th only thing I can hear
Hobbes to the left of me, XS to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the closet with you.

Yes, I’m stuck in thecloset with you,
And I’m wondering what it is I should do.
It’s so hard to setup Argh with my ex,
like some people only are about sex.
Hobbes to the left of me, XS to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the closet with you.

Well, you started off with learning,
And you find yer stomach’s turnin’ man.
And your friends they all come crawlin’,
Swim in the beer vat and say, “Please, please.”

Trying to make martini’s for all,
But I can see nobody’s drinkin at all.
Is it cool to go to chomp on a big cigar?.
Poor Gus is out polishing the car
Hobbes to the left of me, XS to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the closet with you.

Well, you started off with learning,
And you find yer stomach’s turnin’ man.
And your friends they all come crawlin’,
Swim in the beer vat and say, “Please, please.”

Yes I’m, stuck in the closet with you,
Stuck in the closet with you,
Here I am, stuck in the closet with you.

In the twilight glow I see him
Vast, Right Wing Conspiracy
As we posted all our homework
I knew we'd never meet again
Vast is like a flying member
Of the old ways we may see
Through the ages I'll remember
Vast, Right Wing Conspiracy
Now my hair has turned to silver
All my time I've drank with thee
I can see him in the classroom
Vast, Right Wing Conspiracy
Someday when we drink the beer vat
We'll take pot shots at the libs
Through a land that knows no parting
Vast, Right Wing Conspiracy

[RikaStrom]

In addition to the normal refulgency we expect from Ann Coulter, her recent appearance on CNN's Crossfire was supplemented with a refulgent Freeper Question on Crossfire that made Paul Begala fume and squirm.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]
