What twelve year olds can do

So that fat drug addict and law breaker Rush Limbaugh says no twelve year old can come up with something like what Graeme Frost said on his now famous response to our Child Hatin' Chickenhawk in Chief's radio address where he said he was going to veto S-CHIP, you remember S-CHIP right? It's one of the few government programs that has worked under Bush and his gang of thieves. Rush says that no 12 yr old is smart enough to have the kinds of ideas and phrases that young Frost espoused. Well kids, as usual, Rush was wrong.


Apparently in Rush's world only he and maybe his Reich wing twin Michael Malkin, who I'm sorry to say shares my birthday, only they had the intellectual capacity to have advanced thoughts and the ability to covey said thoughts in the proper manner at the tender age of 12. Apparently the rest of us were just learning what our pee pee's and hoo hoo's were and what that watery stuff was that dribbled out of them from time to time. We all must have been tackling semi advanced concepts like zipping up our pants or buttoning our shirts at 12. And maybe, if you were real lucky then you might have been smart enough to use a fork or knife.


Oh wait a sec, maybe it's just the liberals kids who are so stupid they can't think or have ideas for themselves at 12. Oh shit, hang on, that can't be true because liberals teach their children to think for themselves and not to accept the bile that is spewed forth from people like Rush and Michael Mailkin and Hannity.


Speaking from experience when I was 12 I understood very advanced concepts and ideas and I was able to speak at length about them. Why was that? It wasn't because I was especially smart or a freakin' genius or anything, nor was it because I was precocious and I mimicked the speech of adults around me, no, it was because I was taught to read and to think for myself. Of course Graeme Frost could have written his own speech, he seems smart enough to have done so and I for one am grateful he did. What they hate about young Master Frost and his family and that other family is that they had the balls to speak out against the President. All Reich wingers hate dissent and they especially hate people who are smart and who think for themselves. You want proof they hate smart people? Well just go back a few months ago when Rove said that all the President's critics were "effete intellectual snobs." They use that anti intellectual rhetoric when they get caught in yet another lie. And then when they get caught trying to cover up getting caught, they smear whoever they can, whether it's smart 12 yr old boy who was lucky enough to get the medical care he needed to stay alive or whether it's the newest Nobel Peace Prize laureate.


They say the only things you can count on in this life are death and taxes. I'd go ahead and add that you can count on Republicans and their pals in the corporate media to attack anyone who tries to make them be more humane and make them pay more taxes to help out the disadvantaged.

The response to that kid and his family by the right wing echo chamber has bee disgusting. Basically, his family has done everything conservatives say people should do--buy a home, run a small business, have children--and they're attacked the instant they speak against the president.

Ironic that the attackers are making a big deal about how the kid couldn't have written his own speech, when GWB not only does NOT write his own speeches, he has to have them phonetically spelled out when he reads them.

Well, if it weren't for all that there lurnin', people wouldn't be able to spot the incredibly obvious lies of the Republicans. Of course they're pissed; they're not smart enough not to get caught.

Umm, hello! I've been thinking the way I do now since I was eight.

One thing though: Why don't people realize that A.) they were kids once, and B.) that wthout kids, IT'S THE END OF THE FRICKIN' HUMAN RACE!

I really wish more people would use the thought process of point A in their every day actions, esepcially if you're denying kids morally basic rights, like, hm, EVERYTHING.

This is why we hate grown-ups.

They are mad because even a 12 year old can spot Republican BS.

Another reason they're mad is because they spent so many years trying to make my generation dumber so they could get re-elected.

I'm constantly disgusted by the reich's junior-high-bully tactics--the smart kids are just stupid nerds who deserve to be beaten up, the macho dumbass who can't even add or write is the big hero to be admired, and anyone who thinks different is "effete intellectual snob" and (worse!) a "liberal." And sadly, many Americans still buy that bullshit and talk about "swagger" and "folksiness" and "who would you rather have a beer with." Me, I'll pin my hopes on the brainy person who gives a shit about other people.

Bubs-You are so right sir. It's no wonder why I like you so much.

Samurai Frog-Unfortunately for us they are smart enough to grab and hold power and make the rest of us miserable.

JD-Don't hate us all.

Evil Dictator-Dude, you hit the nail on the head. No child left behind is a sham designed to make kids like you docile workers in the corporate world.

Dguz-I'm with ya sister.
