The anger out there is about race on two fronts, an African African American President and Hispanic illegal immigrants. The latter has about as much to do with paperwork as the former does with Hitlarian communism. If 15 million Mexicans here illegally had green cards it wouldn't make a wit of difference to these kind of people while had the President's father been from London it would make all the difference in the world.

The kind of people behind this are not in the least shy about sayingy they are most upset over losing their country. To whom? From what? Republcian disdain for the concept of multiculturalism is historic, loud and unyielding, while conservative correctness has required we now say "nativist" rather than "racist".

What is the Republican Party Plan I often wonder? They are now 3 years into their losing streak which seems to only move them further and further into Right Field. They seem to now occupy that long narrow strip of AstroTurf between first base and the dugout. It's a crowded tent populated by non players, in this case Birthers, Tea Baggers, South Carolina crackers and Alaskan White trash. I just can't help myself sometimes.

At the top of that stinky heap of poo are Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, though North Carolina Cracker Joe Wilson is on a meteoric rise while Fundamentalist Creationist Mike Huckabee is leading in the Presidential polls followed by Mitt Romney who believes Jesus is from Michigan. Gosh... The United States of Duh.

The fastest growing voter dynamic these days and for the foreseeable future are Hispanics while African Americans have been brought to the polls in higher numbers than ever before.

Does anyone think Hispanics don't know what CNN's Lou Dobbs is up to?

What all this constant screeching from Republicans about building that wall is about?

What ICE crashing through family doors and workplace skylights putting entire families in prisons is about?

Or what the claim that swimming the Rio Grand makes them not only criminals but felons is about?

And now the most recent and most ultimate slap in the face from a South Carolina rebel flag waving cracker who cannot help himself from screaming YOU LIE to the President of the United States because the very thought of a Mexican getting health care turns him purple. Anyone think Hispanics don't get that?

Down here in Dumbutt, Texas news comes often on the ongoing debate within the State Board of Education. 11 of the 15 members are Republicans, 7 of whom are evangelical creationists. 

After their recent failure to have intelligent design placed in our science textbooks they have shifted gears and are now rewriting our history books more to their "nativist" liking.

As I read the series of articles about this I find two names that pop up in each and every article. Removing any mention of César Chávez and Thurgood Marshall and and replacing them with Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich. Our Texas Taliban is not shy and they are very well armed. Facing facts: History students need to know them

So at the top of their TO DO list is to remove a Black man who was not only our first African American Supreme Court Justice, but also was the NAACP lawyer who argued and won the most important case of the 20th Century - The unanimous Brown v. Education decision which decided "separate educational facilities were inherently unequal" setting the stage for the forced integration of the South. Anyone believe Blacks don't get that?

Joining Mr Marshall for historic ejection by these evangelical Christian Republican "nativists" is Mexican migrant worker, advocate for the poor and union organizer César Chávez who gained fame in the 1960s with the California grape boycott. Anyone believe Hispanics don't get that?

And this week Republicans sent out hidden cameras to try and destroy the largest African American community organization in America, and did so with flying colors! Anyone believe African Americans don't get that either?

So what with the GOP shrinking and Hispanics and Blacks increasing their voting power I have to ask... Are Republicans racists or just stupid? Oops! Sorry... Are Republicans "nativists" or just stupid?

With the help of George W. Bush and billions of tax dollars spent on Abstinence Only programs in American Schools - especially in Texas and other less than cold states - has been a complete failure. Focus on abstinence alone is failing Texas teenagers

94% of Texas schools have no sex education at all other than promoting total abstinence which they politicize by lying about the effectiveness of condoms and other forms of birth control.

Pregnancy rates for CHILDREN 15 years old and under has risen not only in Texas but even higher in New Mexico and Mississippi. This is of course is  expected in Mississippi where all sex is related. Sex Ed Now!

These pregnant children under 15 are in MIDDLE SCHOOL where there is not even a 6% rate of sex education as there is in high schools. Well other than lying to them that birth control does not work and if they have sex they will die. Seeing pictures of so many of the Texas Taliban in the news down here in dumbutt, I would rather die than have sex with any of them. 

Here in Texas there is legislation brought to the floor each year by some off color state representatives to remedy this, but is quickly and hardily squashed by our Texas Taliban who run this sorryass state with the help of the NRA. Of course these same people do everything they can to refuse giving support to these child mothers and their children. Here in Texas children are born with bootstraps. Though we do give them the opportunity to buy as many weapons as they want at some fairground each weekend. Which is all that really matters down here...

Y'all remember the hullabaloo with the Texas Taliban running the schools down here in Dumbutt. They go by the name of The Texas State Board of Education. Here is the first in a series of articles we did on this.  The Face of the Texas Taliban, Cynthia Dunbar

The board took a bit of a hit recently when their creationist leader Dentist Don McElroy was voted down and replaced by a less offensive creationist. Though it now puts Mrs Dunbar on a higher poopie-box than she was before.

They recently gave up putting Intelligent Design into Texas biology books and are noe set upon removing liberals like Hispanic organizer Ceser Chavez  from Texas history books. Books that will be read by an ever increasing number of Hispanics no less. They well be replacing the bad liberal icons with good conservative ones like, James Dobson, Phyllis Schlafly, Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich and Jerry Falwell. History's first draft: Newt Gingrich but no liberals - Textbooks being written for Texas students appear to lean to the right

Back in 2007 these so called "people" with the help of the so called Texas "legislature" here in dumbutt mandated the study of the Bible in public schools. Though they prayed extensively to, about and for it, they forgot to either define it or fund it. They are not the sharpest knives in this squeaky drawer we call Texas. Bible literacy law stumps schools

So today Texas Teachers are not sure what to do. Though most do understand that it a big opart of their job is to cram as much Jesus down their students throats as they can get away with. No matter what any Damn Yankee has to say about it, white or black! You betcha!

I have a couple friends in the Texas School system who both tell me that the teachers lounges' are segregated by politics. On the crowded side [the vastly crowded side in rural and suburban Texas] there is not only an ornery pile of evangelical literature, but an even more ornery pile of loud evangelicals bragging about who crammed the most Jesus down their kids throats that morning.

Of course the minority side keeps quiet knowing only too well the violent armed nature of Texas Evangelicals. But on occasion these few human teachers will leave an old copy of the New York Times (they bought out of state) in the bathroom just to hear the rhythmic screams in beat to the constant flushing...

Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas. Jazmin didn’t speak English when she first started school. Hardly anyone in her hometown went to college, and neither of her parents had gone either. But she worked hard, earned good grades, got a scholarship to Brown University, and is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to being Dr. Jazmin Perez."

The above paragraph is from the speech that President Obama will be giving to school children kicking off the 2009 school year. The photo is of an emotional Jazmine  Perez watching the President mention her in his speech.

The story is about a woman with the less than American name of, Jazmin Perez. A name that sends shivers up Republican spines even worse than the name Sonia Sotomayor did earlier this Summer. Even stupid crackers now that "Jazmin" is a name often used by... Well you know... So just the name itself adds "Black" to "Wetback". And the girl didn't even speak English! And is from a Texas border town! Sometimes I wonder if our President has ever been south of Springfield.

This is why Republican parents are keeping their kids out of school today. To keep them from hearing about non English speaking (unAmerican) immigrants (illegal or here only because of liberal loopholes) and of course the real crux of the matter, this girl is just another example of someone less than White who is a whole lot smarter than the parents who are keeping their kids out of school today.

We have to look on the bright side of this. A day missed in school for the children of these Right-wing loons (who vote Republican) helps their children fail in the long run. Sad for the innocent children? Not too sad as these kids are sure to follow in their parents footsteps of ignorance, bigotry and hate.

But more importantly, the remaining children in our public schools can take note of who stayed home or were shuttled off to little wingnut bigot rooms in the basement and let their parents know their names when they get home.

This will help all reasonable parents in America know who to keep their kids away from outside the classroom. After all, who wants their kids visiting trailer parks where the curtains are made from confederate flags, where loaded weapons are laying around on the kitchen table and of course that dangerous meth lab out back. 

No, there is no mistake with the graphic. Ron Paul is the person most responsible for all this wingnut crap these days.

Glenn Beck Wins One. Van Jones Fired!

Not only was Van Jones the founder the ColorofChange.org which is responsible for the successful Glenn Beck Boycott, but a tape has appeared with Mr. Jones calling Republicans "a-holes!" OMG!

In 1976 at a bar in Duluth I came across a Republican who was not an A-hole. Of course it was a long time ago and it was just that one guy, but for Jones to stereotype this is unconscionable.

And besides, Glenn Beck is one tippytoe step from the funny farm and giving him a win once in awhile is a charitable thing.

Speaking of charitable things, my very local paper this week overflowed with articles about the wonderful Tea Party down at the park where they became unhinged over taxes, birth certificates, socialism and the end of America. Reported as if there was no other way of thinking.

The next article was about a penny rise in property taxes in Galvenston County to help pay for more indigent health care caused by the double whammy of IKE and the Recession.

There were cool quotes from the angry wingnuts at the meetings - who like the Tea Partiers waved tiny copies of the constitution above their heads - with cries of "Mandatory Charity!" "Forced Welfare!"

A county Commissioner with a cooler head added "The Government has no business to mandate charity!" Again reported as if that goes without saying.

And the beat goes on... From talk radio, to Fox News, to cable news and now into our schools where the children of these intellectually challanged wingnut parents want their little nitwits children herded into special rooms devoid of any sound, picture, video or mention of that communist Darkie in the White House. 

Barney Frank did well a few weeks ago by pointing at the airhead woman at one of his town hall meetings by comparing her to a dinning room table. But that avoided getting to the NUB OF THE MATTER which I think I could do a better job of.

First thing I would do is ask what their favorite book was?

Watching them turn purple over the question would be fun enough, but if they did answer I am sure I would hear just what I expected to hear with such words "Ayn", "Rand", "Ron", "Paul", "Glenn", "Beck", "end" and "times".

Then ask the big question.

Could I ask what this ideology you are expressing is called?
Have you found a name for it yet?

[After they stumble around it for a bit add...]

One thing for sure, whatever the hell it is is a few moral steps below Nazism.
Could we maybe call it Ghengis Khanism?
Feudalism?
ORCism?
Are you a Mordorologist?
You are not from Harkonen are you?

The bottom line here is just how far back into history or fantasy land we have to go to find something comparable to this horrid black hearted Libertarian Wingnut crap that is overwhelming us since... Since... Well I guess since a black moved into the White House. [Most people will admit that race is some part of all this while being from Texas I contend it is the biggest part of all this.]

I heard a group of pundits from around the table say these people make up 20% of Americans. I noticed none of them lived in Texas! I think they are wrong, its more like 30%. Add up all the Libertarians, Evangelicals, gunnuts, militias, racists and rural families having sex with animals and it becomes the face of America.

A few years back, but these are the kind of people running things down here in Dumbutt, Texas.

Finding Religious Tolerance in Texas is like Telling Sneakers O'Toole to take his Sneakers off!

Down here in Dumbutt we have this horrible thing called the Texas Board of Education. It is made up of 15 members, 5 Democrats, and 10 Republicans, 7 and sometimes 9 of whom are Evangelical Fundamentalist Christians who have a BIBLICAL WORLD VIEW in which the BIBLE trumps The Constitution.

Their central issue has been to put "creation science" which they have renamed "intelligent design" into our science classes and science text books. They came up one vote short recently and have now switched from Biblisizing science to Biblisizing social sciences. They have appointed "experts" to overall Texas History books. These experts are for the most part Evangelical ministers and preachers who hold "constructionist" views that our nation should be based upon scripture rather than the constitution. 

Presently they are trying to revise history by removing Caesar Chavez from our student knowledge base and replacing him with Newt Gingrich, Right to Life organizations and Jerry Falwell and the Moral Majority. Any changes will not take affect until the 2012 school year which gives them lots of time to fuck up the Texas even more than they already have. With the way things are going now with the very unpopular idea of health care reform, by 2012 President Palin and Vice President Ted Nugent are sure to be added to all our nations text books as the ground work for rapture and the Second Coming.
