Former Colorado Sen. Dave Schultheis of Colorado Springs regularly made headlines during his time in office in the finest blowhard tradition since upheld by such intellectual successors as Gordon “Dr. Chaps” Klingenschmitt, pistol-packing Rep. Lori Saine, and don’t even get Sen. Vicki Marble started! It was Sen. Schultheis who warned darkly back in 2009 that President Barack Obama was “flying the U.S. plane into the ground at full speed” 9/11 style, invoking the Flight 93 battle cry “Let’s Roll”–not long after he said he hoped babies would get AIDS to teach their slutty moms a lesson.
Anyway, former Sen. Schultheis has views about this year’s priority funding for full-day kindergarten, a campaign promise by Gov. Jared Polis that in the end passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. And the bipartisan full-day-K kumbaya isn’t fooling Dave Schultheis, indeed not patriots:
That’s right, moms! The fact is that you have too much “free time” already and really should be spending it at home taking care of children instead. After all they’re just going to get “indoctrinated,” you know, in kindergarten. Though apparently half-day “indoctrination” is okay? It’s not the most coherent argument but it’s clear he’s really suspicious of what they teach kids in kindergarten and wants to minimize exposure.
You’re laughing, but you probably shouldn’t. Instead, consider how much of the Republican base Schultheis speaks for. From vaccines to the unhinged misinformation that circulated freely about the sex ed bill–here’s looking at you, Anus Fisting Granny–there’s a whole Dave Schultheis wing of today’s Republican party. And although Schultheis himself is in retirement, their influence within the GOP coalition has only grown in the Trump years. It is not a stretch to suggest that the co-occurrence of people who want to recall Democrats from Gov. Polis on down over their “perverted” sex ed bill and those who agree (or at least would agree) with Dave Schultheis about the threat of “indoctrination” posed by full-day kindergarten is very high or even total.
It’s all fun and games until the fringe gathers enough signatures.

He fears an educated citizenry, who will call bullshit on his bullshit. Eff the cretin
Would one of you heathens quote PoddyMouth here? I would but it's Sunday and I fear Allah might smite me, as justified as my action might be.
" Fuck off, sore loser"…
How's that?
Duke FTW 🙏
I'm guessing he's also opposed to welfare and a living wage. So exactly how are poor moms, especially poor single moms, supposed to accomplish all this?

Schultheis is still breathing? I would have thought he'd have been poisoned by all the bile he spits at those who don't measure up to his standards of purity, or religion or whatever he calls it.
I'm not laughing.
I didn't go to kindergarten and I was ok.
I didn't …
… wear a seat belt, and I was ok
… own a cell phone
… need a student loan
… get a vaccine
… need no stinking insurance
… etc etc etc
I am not laughing.
