    Remember the Tea Party  that reactionary right wing movement that helped lead the Republican Party into the fever swamp of madness?

    Well, in places like Tennessee they found especially fertile ground, and that states Teabaggers are demanding that school textbooks leave out Americas history of slavery.

    Are people getting more insensitive or just stupider?

      Those people are some stupid mother f***ers! They look to Palin as an insiration! That is more than enough evidence to conclude that those people have the intelligence of a small light bulb. Here's an idea, how about all the teabaggers settle in one area of the country and seceed from the Union! Trust me, there' won't be a fight over them leaving.

    After reading the quote from their attorney spokesman, I would say both in response to your question. Rewriting history to fit an agenda is both insensitive and stupid. Slavery is an important part of American history and what happens to understanding the Civil War if slavery is not taught and discussed??

      There are still people who believe that the south won the war, and slavery had nothing to do with it. But, the part about slavery is partially true, as the main reason for the war was the keep the south from forming its own nation. Good thing that never happened.

      I wouldn't be happy if I had to get a passport to go to Florida! lol!! I wonder what the immigration policy would have been with that!

    Don't these people have anything else better to do? I mean seriously...this is a prime example of what I call stupidity in motion which I only apply to politicians, because almost always are their actions an example of stupidity. hmm

    With that kind of logic. How can they expect anyone to take them seriously? This is almost as retarded as the republican from Wisconsin who wants to pass a law that links single parenthood to Child abuse and imprison single parents. Where does that leave the child a-hole?! This from the same person who wants to outlaw abortion.

    Makes me wonder where these nutjobs are getting their training from. makes me wonder if they are all part of a cult. All the stuff that comes out of their mouths sounds like wondering crap, that makes absolutely no sense.

      Amazing how the ones who claim God's favor are so willing to pave our way to hell.
