So will you now condemn Obama for taking Limbaugh's words out of context? Charlie Gibson for taking Sarah Palin's words out of context? Obama for for taking McCain's quote about 100 years in Iraq out of context?

"If you are unskilled and uneducated, your job is going south. Skilled workers, educated people are going to do fine 'cause those are the kinds of jobs NAFTA is going to create. If we are going to start rewarding no skills and stupid people, I'm serious, let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do -- let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work."

IMO there's no context where that comment is appropriate.

Hey look, another person who only sees what they want to see. Yes, there is context that allows for such a statement. If you actually look at what was being discussed (NAFTA) you'd understand what was being said by this. Of course some of you will never admit what he said was true nor will you admit that in the context of it being said is that he equally stated the same about uneducated no-skill workers iin the US. Remember, this was about NAFTA and people whining about jobs going away. He basically stated that if jobs do go away due to nafta it will be the no-skill jobs that anyone with two functioning brain cells could do.

Obama wants to teach kindergarteners about sex. Period. That is wrong. Period. My daughter is 4. In 2 years she will be in Kindergarten. I dont want the teacher telling her what is an isn't appropriate contact. That is MY JOB as a father. So, lets take the definition of sex-ed at the definition that liberals want to give it. It is still WRONG. It is not society's job to raise my child. It is mine and my family's. Keep your damn sex-ed off my kids.
If all kids had a father who'd teach them what is and isn't appropriate contact maybe it wouldn't be such a problem. Unfortunately it's not the case. How can you blame him for wanting to protect innocent children?

I dont blame him for his intentions. I blame him for his implementation. He doesnt want to make it an optional program offered at schools before or after normal classroom times, he wants to make it required learning during normal classroom times without parental notification. Let me rephrase that. He isnt necessarily againt parental notification, but nothing I have seen REQUIRES it. Show me that portion that says I can opt my child out of it (which by definition means that I am notified), and we have somewhere to start. I still have issue with classroom time being used for this purpose, as our schools arent getting the basics taught anymore.

Doing the wrong thing for the right reason is just as dangerous as doing it for the wrong reasons. Intentions mean little to me.

the curiculum is optional. Parents have the right to pull their kids out of the lesson if they dont agree with the plan.

this is straight from the bill

Is it now? Good. The ad that McCain is running is bullshit then.
