Rush Limbaugh selection in children’s book competition causes a stir

Narrow minded twits look for labels to slap on everybody to make their little lives so much easier - it is the path that requires little intelligence.

It allows them to pick responses from a hit list of phrases, again the result of poor intelligence, or laziness.

I have yet to meet someone whose belief structure perfectly fit any simple label or ideology.

Says the folks that trash a book they've never tead...lol!

By Wikipedia?
Why do you need a new term? Why not just call a spade a spade- liberal means what it always has. Looks to me like you're trying to put socialists and anarchists and 'classical conservatives' (big-government authoritarian types) and 'greens' under one umbrella called 'liberalism'.
And maybe a better question is, why do I care? On second thought, go ahead. Be as wrong as you want and anyone who reads your opinions will just have to guess what the term 'liberal' means to you on a case-by-case basis.

By me. And incidentally wikipedia is usually correct. Liberal DOES NOT mean what it always has. The modern leftist liberal has almost nothing in common with a classical liberal. Get it straight, you are embarrassing yourself.
 
Children are going to be reading million word The Civil War by Shelby Foote.


There's nothing wrong with a historically themed children's book, or do you prefer children remain ignorant?

As I've said, you should read it and speak from an informed position rather than speaking from a disinformed position.

She is a public school teacher. Surely she only has the childrens best interests in mind. :lamo
 
Only Libbos would make a fuss like this over a children's book.
I'm in chapter 9...it really is just a fun children's book. I think my boys would like it.
 
Oh, that explains evrrything...lol!

Apparently, you missed it. Disinformation is when you distort information which is spread intentionally as opposed to misinformation which is false information spread unintentionally. I'm sure I don't need to spell out the irony saying we are talking about Rush.

Anyway, you can't come from a "disinformed" position. I pretty much ignored your other mistakes.

Nope! No mistake, then.

My kids loved it; even my 17 y/o step-daughter.

Please list the historical facts Rush got wrong in this book.

Not the book, but the author.

Since I have no use for the author, then I have no use for the book.

'Tis common sense.

Only mindless drones would believe that a children's book carries so much importance.

How very open minded of you!
 
How very open minded of you!

It's very logical of me.

I have listened to the windbag enough over the years to know that he is full of ****, and I refuse to drink his Koolaid.

Maybe no misinformation but rather disinformation. According to his site he says: "Nobody owned anything. They just had a share in it. It was a commune, folks. It was the forerunner to the communes we saw in the '60s and '70s out in California -- and it was complete with organic vegetables, by the way." http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2013/11/27/the_real_story_of_thanksgiving_is_catching_on_out_there

I'm wondering in his "fact filled" book if he bothered to mention that those conditions were dictated by the English capitalist who funded them? The irony is Bradford proposed a cooperative type situation which many here would call socialism. The stakeholders were the ones who benefitted rather than the stockholders/investors.

Then why do you call them liberal if they're not? Damme, can you really not see that the problem is you calling people liberal who aren't? It's you and your ilk who have pointed your fingers and said, "All of you liberals, you're not really liberals." The word means what it always has, of course it does. You just don't want to make an effort to be accurate.
I've got a bit of bad news for you, laddybuck- you might be liberal yourself. On some issues.

I call them that because thats the term used. I also use the term progressive, but thats as bad of a name as I think most people should be called.

Now the real problem (besides and absolute irony)-On occasion, one of these thinkers tries to suggest they are essentially classical liberals. When they couldn't be further away.
 
Lists collected via Email?????

You must be joking.

Didn't need to look any further.

The Limbaugh quotes are from websites that provide links to the source for each quote.
