Teach Your Children Well   Updated at 7:50 PM
   
My four-year-old grandson was listening to a conversation between me and his mother, and he asked me, "Papa, what is a war criminal?"

I told him that "war criminals" are people like our president, our senators, and our congressmen, who command and support sending the children of the poor to fight for the interests of the rich, and who, in the process, kill hundreds and thousands of innocent civilians because it is in our national interest to do so.

Of course, this answer led to a short and age-appropriate lesson in civics, and I guarantee that most of it went over his head. But that is what this boy is going to grow up hearing if this nation continues on its current path.

In a nation where the principle author of the Declaration of Independence has been banished from the curriculum in some places; where people ignore the deaths of innocents; where children are homeless so that a system where the few live parasitically off of the many can flourish; where corrupt political and business interests are so confident that they no longer even conceal their corruption...

What other lesson could be truthfully taught?

5. We're locking this.
 Broad brush, inflammatory comment / accusation; goes beyond constructive criticism.

"I told him that "war criminals" are people like our president, our senators, and our congressmen, who command and support sending the children of the poor to fight for the interests of the rich, and who, in the process, kill hundreds and thousands of innocent civilians because it is in our national interest to do so."

Thanks all.

That was quick. Should've stuck to "Bush sucks."

The Management is getting tired of the Obamessiah getting bashed, I guess.

To have such a grandparent as yourself...

Priceless.

He will grow up knowing the truth, and knowing how to find it.

Big mistake. If he'd said "people like Dubya, Republican senators, and Republican congressmen", it would still be up.

U.S. military service disproportionately attracts enlisted personnel and officers who do not come from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Members of the all-volunteer military are sig­nificantly more likely to come from high-income neighborhoods than from low-income neighborhoods. Only 11 percent of enlisted recruits in 2007 came from the poorest one-fifth (quintile) of neighborhoods, while 25 per­cent came from the wealthiest quintile. These trends are even more pronounced in the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) pro­gram, in which 40 percent of enrollees come from the wealthiest neighborhoods-a number that has increased substantially over the past four years.

Maybe the CalPiggy primitive will write a poem about this tale of moonbat grandfather and grandchild.  We can only hope.

I wonder if his own children are equally stupid.  Maybe he's one of those grandpas that grow and sell dope like the fly on the wall DUmmy.

It didn't even bounce. ZERO on the bouncy scale, and negative bongs.

His bouncy is a no bounce but a thud. No and I repeat no 4 year old will have any concept of war. Goldstein1984 gets no cred.

My grandpas taught me how to fish, tend a vegetable garden, shingle a roof, stuff like that, and through their example, how to live an upstanding life.

Dummy grandpas teach their grandchildren how to hate America.

My, how far we've come.

This is a "War Criminal"

Someone with two college degrees who felt the calling to put on a uniform and defend his Nation. It's called a fanatical love of Country.

Kid: "What about all of the other countries? Do they have war criminals too?
Idiot: "No, son. Only the US has war criminals. And Israel.
Kid: "What about Iraq, who invaded Kuwait, or the Palestinians who continually launch rockets Israel, or the Naz-
Idiot: "NO! Only the US and Israel!" (goes into long, loud tirade about how the US is the source of all evil in the world today, then veers into wild Zionist conspiracy theories until finally he puts on his Johnny Bravo hair shaped tin hat and runs into the basement for the rest of the week.
Kid: Staring out, looking dumbfounded...
Mother: And that is why doing drugs is a very bad idea.

He could have actually explained this in a politically neutral way, devoid of contemporary issues that will be meaningless before the child even gets to middle school, telling the child that even in war, infliciting more pain or harm than is strictly necessary is wrong and against the law, and then explaining the principle of proportionality in terms a four-year-old would understand, and telling him mercy to the fallen solves more problems than simply taking revenge against them as a group.

But no, he had to **** over his grandkid's brain with garbage, which will make no sense at all when the poor little guy gets old enough to start understanding the larger context of society.  What a shitstain.  What a disgusting, brain-maggot-infested shitstain.

My soon-to-be 4 yr old grandson would only be interested if it involved Sonic the Hedgehog. This is a pancake bouncy.

There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as caring and sensitive because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he is willing to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't? And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he will do good with his own money— if a gun is held to his head.

What kills me is he said he explained it in an "age-appropriate" way, then in the next breath says that he knows most of it went right over the kid's head  :thatsright:  The whole point of "age appropriate" is that it is explained at a level that won't go over their heads.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Last time my 4 year old grandson was here he was more interested in kicking the turkey we just shot and looking at its cool guts. Jesse Ray kicking the turkey
