Election of Bush Irks My Son's Art Teacher (Retro Democratic History)
Religio-Political Talk (RPT) ^ | 11-13-2006 | Papa Giorgio

Posted on 02/08/2011 8:42:43 AM PST by SeanG200

Introduction

This paper is in response to a conversation about voting in my son’s Visual Arts class that climaxed with the teacher saying that the only reason that President Bush won the 2000 election in Florida was that he had a brother as governor and that some votes were not counted. (I am assuming that because the teacher mentioned the two together – that is, disenfranchisement and Governor Jeb Bush – that she believes in a conspiracy through all levels of the Florida government and Supreme Court to make sure that then Governor George W. Bush would win the election. This is the clear implication of what was said in the classroom.)...

I wish to say here that any teacher has the right to own her or his opinion. We all have that right, you, me, anyone. However, one cannot own his or her own facts. And this is where the teacher may have crossed the line when she said (mind you I am going off what my son told me, as I was not there in the classroom at the time), “the only reason Bush won…”, you see, this goes beyond opinion within the realm of impressionable seventh-graders. Unchallenged in this environment, teachers in many classrooms in this valley and elsewhere get away with bringing a point of view that is unfounded by the facts of a reasonable investigation of “what did happen” in Florida. It isn’t nearly as infamous as the teacher put it....

Liberals eschew the world of facts because, as they all know, facts are racist.

Remember, the first case that the SCOTUS ruled on to stop ex post facto changes in FL election law was decided 9-0.

Liberals don’t care. They just want to believe that the election was stolen by a corrupt Bush Administration even though Clinton was in charge at the time of the election.

Buy your kids the book “ At Any Cost” by Bill Sammons

Go back together through youtube or elsewhere and watch the videos of the various courtrooom arguments presented by both sides

Especially the hearing where the democrats brought in that scraggy Bill Murray-lookalike lawyer (Boies?) to try to disenfranchise military absentee ballots

Tell your son to make frequent references to “Uncle Richard Cheney” “President Palin” the “Global Warming Hoax” and lying fatcat “Algor”.

RE: "only reason that President Bush won the 2000 election in Florida was that he had a brother as governor and that some votes were not counted."

This "teacher" needs to open up a book and read the FACTS. She/he would then realize there was NO way Al Gore was going to elected president... no way at all.

President Bush got the most votes and won the election... Move On teach.

Al Gore would have won the election if he didn’t lose his own state. That is why Gore didn’t win the 2000 election.
