A few weeks ago I was at the Safeway. I always get help out to the car with the groceries because it gives someone a job and it's one less opportunity to screw up my back.

This girl was helping me out to the car and we were chatting. She asked what I had been up to over the weekend and I said that I had spent most of the weekend listening to Christian sermons.

SHE SAID, "WHAT'S A SERMON?"

 

Then today I was getting coffee on my way out of town and I went into a local coffee shop and I was chatting with the barista and she said "What are you up to today?"

I said, "Well, I'm going to Ashland to see a play about Lyndon Johnson."

SHE SAID, "WHO'S THAT?"

 
 

Both of these girls were white Americans who had graduated from high school.

What the hell did they do every day for 13 years? It sure wasn't learning anything.

Hey DUmmy who runs the schools?
That's right the democrats have been running education for years and years.
At least they know how to put a rubber on a piece of fruit and have great self esteem though.

Liberal family values.

Of course it was important to point out that both girls were white.....

[BEG]

Was their teacher named Pam?

[Evil_Conservative]

So if they were black or Asian, they would of known the answers?

[Jasonw560]

I had someone I work with singing that insipid "Move Like Jagger" song, then asked who Jagger was.

She had never heard of the Rolling Stones.

[BEG]

No, apparently the girls should have known because they were white. If they were a minority the DUmmie would have given them a pass.

[BigTex]

Thats good to know that LBJ has been scrubbed from curriculum, although I remember our high school only taught the older american history we barely got up to LBJ.

We can give you the answer, but:

A).  You will never admit it is the truth.

B).  Your head will explode.

 I said, "Well, I'm going to Ashland to see a play about Lyndon Johnson."

Ummm.....ahhhh.....sigh.....

Whaaaaa?  Who puts on a play about Lyndon Johnson?

Ultimate Liberal Douchnozzle Productions presents:

I'll have them n******rs voting Democrat for the next 200 years.
 
Theater of the Oblong.

Whaaaaa?  Who puts on a play about Lyndon Johnson?

The same liberals that book Ray Stevens and then go online to bitch when they find out who he is.

[GOBUCKS]

So if they were black or Asian, they would of known the answers?

Asian, yes. Black, no.

According to this DUmmy, who lies all the time, white, no.

The idea of a DUmpmonkey, with nearly fifty-six thousand posts, spending a weekend listening to Christian sermons is beyond ludicrous.

If true, it would mean instant banning.

[Airwolf]

I don't know what is worse. The fact two kids didn't know the answers or that someone wrote a play about LBJ,one of the worse President to lead our military in many years until the current one.

[98ZJUSMC]

Thats good to know that LBJ has been scrubbed from curriculum, although I remember our high school only taught the older american history we barely got up to LBJ. 

Oh, well...maybe that's why they have to put on a play.

I was gonna say. 

[98ZJUSMC]

I reckon.

...and their lack of general knowledge never seems to bother them much, as they are so chock full-o-self esteem.

Huh.

[MrsSmith]

So if they were black or Asian, they would of known the answers?

If they weren't white, pointing out what they didn't know would have been RACIST!  


The accusation of racism totally beats TRUTH every time...in a liberal "mind."


Besides, the left owns the NEA, they can't admit that they are deliberately raising up kids that don't know history, civics, math, science...and can't read.

She had never heard of the Rolling Stones.

I asked a coworker if she had any index cards.  She asked me what an index card was.

A DUmmy going to church?

A card shaped like a finger?

Brings up a good point, the left removed God from school so her not knowing what a sermon is, is no surprise.

Okay, folks, a lesson in primitivity, this time re: the NanceGreggs phenomenon:

I always get help out to the car with the groceries because it gives someone a job and it's one less opportunity to screw up my back.

The NanceGregg phenomenon is that the primitives always shroud their real motive with a cloak of nobility.

It's based upon the long-gone NanceGregg primitive's frequent assertion that she moved to Canada because she hated George Bush (this was years and years ago) and couldn't stand living in the same country as George Bush.....when in fact she moved to Canada because her husband had a job there.

Get the idea?

So here we have a primitive who insists she shops at Safeway "because it gives someone a job," as if the primitive actually goes out of her way to do so.

How much does one want to bet that the primitive shops at Safeway because it's convenient to her, and simply by happy coincidence (for the primitive in telling the tale), that Safeway offers such a service?

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

So if they were black or Asian, they would of known the answers?

No, no.

I think the implication was the whites should have known...

...ergo we have much lower expactations for non-whites.

[zeitgeist]

Thats good to know that LBJ has been scrubbed from curriculum, although I remember our high school only taught the older american history we barely got up to LBJ. 

Um, for some of us he was called 'current events'. 

Liberals would love to ignore Landslide Lyndon and do so at every turn.  Not me, "Hey, Hey, LBJ.  How many kids did you kill today??"

My story of the day is asking a cashier if they knew who's images were on the change they were giving me.  I had given them three Lincolns for a bill of $14.94 so I said, you know the penny and nickle?  I guess that I could figure the change before it popped up on the display rattled the poor thing who guessed, "Washigton and Kennedy"? 

I am no longer shocked.  Saddened, but not shocked.

Right out of the gate, an astoundingly stupid response:

2. Why would a sermon be mentioned in a public school?

It's not applicable to anything.

"All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state."
Benito Mussolini

75. I've taught for 23 years

and I've NEVER seen the word "sermon" on any word list.

Then they start to squabble.  It's pretty funny.  Bob the geek stands steadfastly behind his censorship of the word "sermon" in his "classroom" because it shows that the separation of Church and State still stands.  He lives in Connecticut.

313. I'm beginning to understand the complaints about public education.

You don't have to be religious to know what the phrase "walk on water" means. It's used in various contexts to mean different things. "He thinks he's so hot, you'd think he walks on water."

337. that's another one

I haven't heard in a while...

Seems to be a bit of a cultural divide.

Maybe up here in CT, we have better things to do than endlessly talk about religion.

He's such an asshole.  Stubborn, too.

284. Where are you getting your degree from?

What's your advisor's name?

Mind if I send him or her a link to this thread and find out what he or she thinks?

Someone called Xema out on the "white" thing, and she said, "yeah, you're right."  

It's an extremely big bonfire.
