How to Raise Racist Kids | GeekDad | Wired.com

The title isn’t what you think. Seriously, give the article a read.

Granted, I’ve read NurtureShock and am a bit of a convert myself, but the core argument regarding race and children is that ignoring race is just as bad as teach kids to be lil’ klan kiddies.

Like with most things in life, you have to confront the issue and present all relevant sides to an argument. Yes, there are different races in our world. Everyone is raised or at least influenced a bit differently. But different doesn’t mean bad in most aspects.

People seem to want to have the easy way out. But folks who want it all the time really shouldn’t be parents. I hope to do a damn sight better than that with our little guy.

Baptist Pastors to Pray for Barack Obama’s Death on Presidents Day.

Everything you need to know about why I loathe a lot of conservatives as well as why I avoid religious institutions whenever I can are rolled up in this Pray for Death plan by the Talibangelical jackasses.

It isn’t enough that their hate and fear program was voted down by the American electorate. It isn’t enough that, despite their racism, a black man was voted president.

We won, they lost. They can’t accept it.

Now they turn to their Hate Jesus to kill Barack Obama. It isn’t necessarily treason to hope for someone to die, but it sure the hell is immoral. They should be stripped of their status as religious leaders and go dig a ditch somewhere.

Bob Cesca: Happy Anniversary, Recovery Act

Bob evaluates the success of the Recovery Act, as well as the horrible marketing campaign that should be informing Americans of the good their government is doing.

We as a national have done better in the stock market:

…in job creation:

…GDP growth:

…and in legislative achievement:

The New York Times figures that 1.6 million jobs have been created by the stimulus. Here is more on their reporting plus their sidebar graph info:

From my driving around from California to Colorado to Illinois, I’ve seen plenty of work being done. It isn’t a boondoggle. It isn’t waste (except for maybe some of the work here in Vegas but that’s a local – re:GOP – choice). Perfectly deployed and explained? No. But a damn sight better than the sitting on our hands Hooverite approach the Rethugs suggested? Hell yeah!

So basically you’ve got the GOP against jobs and growth. Also in this is the reality that the GOP voted against 25 different tax cuts. Yep, they are even voting against things they say they are for when Democrats propose them.

The stupidity and lies continue from the tea baggers.

That’s a mess of racist bastards!

profile of treason. Why oh why are we taking these traitors seriously? The same idiots that are fine with trillions spent in Iraq to have their sons and daughters killed in an illegal war call a $787 billion jobs and infrastructure (and tax break) plan “socialism”?

Give me a break. Round up the ringleaders, hang them, detain the rest and let’s get on with running this country as adults.

You can start with this bitch who wants to hang a Senator for – and this isn’t my logic but her’s – apparent horse thievery I think.
