  1. New Book For Teachers Combines Math With Social Justice:

    In a chapter titled, “Write the Truth: Presidents and Slaves,” “Rethinking” editor and Milwaukee teachers union President Bob Peterson explains how he used Freire’s approach with his fifth-grade students:

    “Specific objectives for this mini-unit (about slave-owning U.S. presidents), such as reviewing the use of percentages, emerged as the lessons unfolded… “I figure that if kids start questioning the ‘official story’ early on, they will be more open to alternative viewpoints later on. While discovering which presidents were slave owners is not an in-depth analysis, it pokes an important hole in the godlike mystique that surrounds the ‘founding fathers.’”

  2. Emails Suggest Collusion between the Federal Election Commission and the IRS:

    Embattled Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner and an attorney in the Federal Election Commission’s general counsel’s office appear to have twice colluded to influence the record before the FEC’s vote in the case of a conservative non-profit organization, according to e-mails unearthed by the House Ways and Means Committee and obtained exclusively by National Review Online. The correspondence suggests the discrimination of conservative groups extended beyond the IRS and into the FEC, where an attorney from the agency’s enforcement division in at least one case sought and received tax information about the status of a conservative group, the American Future Fund, before recommending that the commission prosecute it for violations of campaign-finance law.

  3. I love how progressives think,
    Founding fathers = bad because some owned slaves.
    Tommy Douglas = good because he enslaved Doctors and all of us to a healthcare system. Just forget about the part where he wanted to round up all the sub normals and put them somewhere so they couldn’t contaminate the right kinda folks. Because you know you have to put all that eugenics talk into the context of his times, All the great intellects were talking/ pondering eugenics. It was all the rage don’t cha know…

  4. Learn about triage. Save the ‘savable’; reduce the suffering for the rest. Give terminally ill patients morphine. If their families want more than that, then they can pay for it.

  5. The IPCC is bringing out new chart that show a increase in Carbon “pollution” will raise hell with the crime rate by 2065. Of course they’ll all be dead by then but they are hoping this new venture into the criminal field will keep the gravy train rolling. The answer to lower crime rates will of course be higher carbon taxes.

  6. This has got to be one of the stupidest people ever elected. To suggest that the 70% of murders being unsolved is due to police shooting kids? That is totally irresponsible. But we all know that responsibility and being truthful is a foreign concept to the left.

  7. In my view, a rogue NSA is our only hope.
    CIA compromised
    FBI compromised
    ATF compromised
    IRS fully converted
    EPA fully converted
    DHS full of it
    INS Ha!
    TSA please..
    Pentagon…

    “That aircraft, one of the two tethered blimp-like vessles, is equipped with the appropriate lenses to wage sophisticated surveillance missions. Also included in the package is a separate ship equal in size that contains fire control radar that picks up data about incoming threats and then communicates with separate missile systems that can then wage attacks, or counter-attacks.”

  8. Not just stupid statements. These people are actually as stupid as they sound. This is the cream of the crop and is chosen to represent the voters that elected her. Boggles the mind. If she was the only one there could be hope for a better future but when you look at the full field of mental midgets it’s frightening. Pelosi, Sheila Jackson Lee, Debbie Wasserman Shultz, Joe Biden, Raul Grijalva and even Obama himself among the few front runners and the future starts to look very bleak indeed. The shallow end of the gene pool is in charge and have the votes to destroy the country. Forward.

  9. What do you expect? No intelligent, honest person would ever want to be a politician. People generally get the government they deserve; the very best that greed and corruption can buy.

  10. Tommy Douglas = good because he enslaved Doctors…
    No, no, no, they’re ‘self-employed’. 🙂

  11. Could have something to do with recent prison breaks. Not to mention the terrorists Israel let loose.

  12. Math + Social Justice = a perfect reason to get government out of the field of education.

  13. Tim Hortons Franchised coffee shops have been making the evening news in Canada for anonymous customers paying coffee “forward”
    Here in Woodstock Ontario,the plotline is somewhat different in that Leslie, the franchise owner has ten or so “four leafed clovers” in wallet sized laminated plastic to give away to ANY customer who has seen this on “Small Dead Animals” blog.
    The very first one out of the gate, so to speak will have a $10.00 bill accompanying it, (yes it is my $10.00 bill)
    Tim Hortons at the Norwich Avenue ramp on Highway 401, Woodstock, Ontario!
    No kidding!
    Just ask staff!
    I AM Joe Molnar, They were my clovers, my $10.00.
    “Small Dead Animals ” blog, the miraculous conservative Canadian blog Edited by Kate McMillan from Delisle Saskatchewan!

  14. Joe, you’re a great Canadian. I’m from Mississauga, but I’ll be driving right by Woodstock on Sunday, enroute to N. Michigan. I’m sure they’ll be all gone by then, but I will stop in to acknowledge your efforts and this great blog.
    Cheers.

  15. Liberal Ontario Wynne* Report.
    Ich Bin Eine Wynne’s Boom Is Over*.
    “Chancellor Angela Merkel cancelled her scheduled appearance.”
    “The reason is that Riffgat has a cosmetic defect: the wind farm is still missing part of its power line to the mainland. For the time being, instead of producing energy, Riffgat is actually consuming it. To prevent the rotors from corroding in the salty air, they have to be supplied with electricity produced with diesel generators.”

  16. Thank goodness he had the Oceanic Repellent Bat Spray. Now if only someone could get Robin to put on some pants.

  17. I know it was hard to catch-the video was very fast paced, but there was sublimal and not so subtle grooming innuendos in the viral tampon viral video. Specifically where the little girl is stting cross legged on her bed (at Camp Surprise)opening her care package of tampons and a candy while exclaiming “It’s like Santa for your v a g i na” Hmm-just how is an old grey haired man, that young girls associate sitting on the lap of to get presents no less, good for a little girls vagina? That line is a loaded double entendre. Not to mention the inclusion of candy in the box. Candy to entice little girls is a well known grooming method. Talk about subliminal. We need to teach our daughters there is no shame in being and staying classy-it’s a matter of self respect, and more importantly safety for our daughters. Wondering how many child molesters have that video on repeat. Some transgenders showed up for sure. No doubt this will be shown in schools to teach girls about menstration.
    Here is a worthwhile video -molesters will instruct really young girls to use tampons to prepare them while telling them how grown up and special they are.

  18. The Tim Hortons “four leafed clover” giveaway has concluded as of this afternoon (friday) on Norwich Avenue in Woodstock, courtesy of Franchisee Leslie and Joe Molnar, except for Syd B on Sunday .
    There is an envelope waiting for Syd B at the Drive – through window!
    Thanks SDA & Kate!!

  19. From the link: “Government workers in the city of Seattle have been advised that the terms ‘citizen’ and ‘brown bag’ are potentially offensive and may no longer be used in official documents and discussions.”
    So where does that leave all those leftist clowns who think we should be a society of “citizens, not consumers”? (I’ve pointed out before that what the left really means by a “citizen” is a person who, when the government says “Jump”, answers “How high?”)
    Honestly, these jackasses can’t keep their stories straight. There are so many of them, just making it up on the fly. The entire leftist modus operandi is based on cognitive dissonance anyway.
    It reminds me of the time a few years back when someone at the United Nations decided the term “visible minority” was racist. It would all be laughable if there weren’t literally millions of leftist parasites involved, leeching off the hard-working and productive, both rich and poor.

  20. A lot of us commenters here are nuts, Kate, but few are as charming about it as Joe. Go easy on him, will you?
