Just Wacky Enough to be True

Rational Nation USA

This story is so bizarre one could not make it up if one tried. A group of ten high school students that formed a Christmas Sweater Club to spread Christmas cheer and tidings find themselves in trouble.

There is something seriously wrong in this nation. It's called political correctness that fosters intolerance of traditional American values.

    It's more than that. It is a hostility towards tradition and religion. I really believe this is part and parcel of the progressive long march.

    They want to obliterate these institutions they hate and supplant them with new ones that support their remaking of society and nation.

    Les: I don’t agree with “throwing” candy canes at people, but handing them out seems okay, and if ya don’t want one, then don’t accept it!


    As far as using it as a weapon...well, if that’s the case, then, like a commenter on your provided link said, take away pens and pencils, because THOSE are going to do a lot more damage than a piece of pointed candy. And let’s face it, ANYTHING (sharp fingernails anyone?) can be used as a weapon if someone is so inclined to do damage to another human being.


    It’s just all so bizarre anymore. I don’t know, seems people are constantly LOOKING for the boogey-man, and not just under the bed, but right out in the open.

    Here's the thing, at least IMHO...

    We are now, and always have been a Christian nation. The majority of our people remain so today. Our traditions and religious heritage in majority is Judeao/Christian and our laws reflect this reality.

    The recognition of this should offend no one. Religion is a personal thing between the individual and his or her God. If one is a non believer that is a personal as well.

    Neither the believer nor the non believer has the right to force, or attempt to fore their beliefs on the other. This is called tolerance.

    We hear a lot about tolerance. What of the tolerance for the majority that continue to share traditional American, Judea/Christian values.

    The effort by those who wish to squash that they are not comfortable with in the name of tolerance is in fact the height of intolerance.

    The agenda referred to by Silverfiddle is real, it is insidious, and it is wrong.

    And in the interest of intellectual honesty I am an avowed atheist. So those of you on the left that want to take on the right start here, with me. I am more than willing to debate your b*llsh*t with respect to this issue.

    Unfortunately, the experiences I have had with public schools over the past decade or so prevent me from being surprised in the least at this report.

    My oldest son was suspended for three days once for writing "I (heart) Japan" on a poster. (He was born in Japan.) The high school administration felt that it was offensive to the Chicano students and that it contributed to a Chicano riot that day during lunch.

    Imagine if he had also drawn a picture of Hello Kitty!

    I can not help but ask why so many supposedly rational and presumably intellectually capable people fail to recognize the negative reality they are creating.

Our Biggest Creditor {China} Tells Us "The good old days of borrowing are over"

( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers. "They discussed the euro area and the U.S. debt downgrade. Both agreed the importance of working together, monitoring the situation closely ...

Thoughts On the Civil War and What Precipitated It...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Over at Contra O'Reilly Will Hart has been running a interesting series on the Civil War and what the primary causes were. Historians continue to disagree with the root, or primary causes. However it is generally accepted among knowledgeable and unbiased experts that slavery had very little to do with the onset of the War Between the States. Causes were primarily economic and constitutional. Will, in his posts has done a good job of pointing this out with supporting documentation. This site offers the following, a July 2013 article by David Hirsch in support of Will Hart's arguments. Arguments this site wholly concurs with. Arthur Hirsch's recent article about the Battle of Gettysburg reveals a disturbing ignorance of the political dynamics that brought this nation to a war that 150 years later remains the most cataclysmic event in our history ("A defining day relived," July 2). It accepts the sh...

When and How Will it End?

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism This is America. We are an English speaking nation. We have distinct and traditional American cultural values. We have some Americans in our population who have difficulty speaking a coherent sentence. We have many who cannot construct a complete and proper sentence. Yet we find the time and the money to educate youth in Arabic and Arabic culture. Mind you this is a Federal Grant program and limited to only five select school districts. At least for now. At a cost of 1.3 millions dollars students on these select district will be required,  you heard {read} right, required as mandatory part of their curriculum to learn Arabic. This is a blatant abuse of taxpayer money, and it is indicative of the future course our nation has embarked upon under the fuzzy, misguided, and incredibly deceitful anti leade...
