"For he who is least among you all--he is the greatest." (Luke 9:48)
A few days ago in English class, one of the students proclaimed here hatred for our Commander in Chief, President George w. Bush. The incredibly odd part off this incident was not that it was said, rather how it was said. She did it while sharing here supposedly funny Limerick. Our teacher had assigned us this poetry writing and she obviously used it for her platform on which to "express herself."
Incidentally, our English teacher is also quite liberal and showed her approval for her actions. When several of my classmates showed there objection to the flat statement, they were hushed by the teacher. Although the only "logical" statement this Bush bashing student could utter at the time was, "Because I care!"
Let us take a close look at this statement. You can first notice that she has very little data and info to back up her feelings. At closer inspection you can also quite clearly realize that she assumes that all republicans are idiots and she, a deep thinker, is one of the few who actually "care" about there being a good future president. Not realizing of course that some republicans actually do "care" and because of this voted for a good leader and role model for president.
Despite all the slanderous things she said about our president, we all have to acknowledge the fact that there is freedom of speech in this great country, even is the speech is very ignorant.
Later America.
