You can’t make this up.
In exactly the opposite context.
I should add that this guy is the GOP’s presumptive nominee for governor of Washington this year. And Washington is bluer than Colorado. It’s funny what ambition for higher office does to a politician.
……we’ve always been at war with Oceania.
No wonder the left can’t fight back. Just like most of us can’t and don’t think like criminals, we can’t imagine them making this kind of lemonade after being handed a turd.
Meant to hang this under Ari’s comment.
Between your clarification and my response, we’ve just pushed Libby’s inevitable slew of early morning nonsense that much further from the top of the page.
And we’ve always been at war with Eurasia.
….cuz I’ve got sea water in my back yard. (Still cleaning up from Debby. A week of storm surge, lots of flotsam on the yard. But not complaining, vs. the fires.)
You’ve got mountains. Eurasia?
Eurasia was more or less Western Europe and Russia. East Asia was China, Japan and southern India. A few territories swapped back and forth.
But we’ve ALWAYS been at war with…uhh…let me check…EastAsia.
Texas GOP’s 2012 Platform Opposes Teaching Of ‘Critical Thinking Skills’
to think about stuff instead of accepting beliefs “just because”.
Seriously, I’m a fan of critical thinking but an enemy of the bias during my son’s years in school against “content” which really means knowledge. I like knowledge. The mantra was it didn’t matter what you knew as long as you knew how to look it up. Don’t bother to learn “content”. Just learn how to learn because there’s so much information out there and it changes.
The result was a lot of kids with no idea of the general geography of their country or world, no basic US or world history time line knowledge, no basic science framework etc. Most weren’t exactly running to look any of this stuff up with those learning to learn skills. Most of what my son learned about the world, he learned on his own as an avid reader curious about the world with little help from his schooling. Not every kid will want to do that on their own or have the resources to.
I do think we all need to learn critical thinking including formal logic, deductive and inductive reasoning, how to analyze a case made to us and to cogently present and defend a case ourselves. We should all learn how to do research to learn about whatever we find ourselves needing or just wanting to know. It would put the Rush Limbaughs out of business. But I also think those skills should be used to, you know, learn some basic stuff that people need to know, some of which isn’t really going to be everyone’s idea of fun.
Both on the need to learn well the basic facts so you know what to look up and how to put it in context. And I very much wanted my kids to be challenged – I loved it when they would come home and argue with me on some topic based on what they had learned in school.
And yet when the parents’ fixed beliefs about the origin and evolution of life contradict science, the way they sneak anti-evolution beliefs into the curriculum is by encouraging “critical thinking.”
you know it’s bad
…Since (almost) all of the Conservatives are having a temper tantrum like they’re 5 years old over the SCOTUS decision on Obamacare, I’ll let this excellent post explain the law at the same level:

Libby should try it
Unless he’s just busy preparing for Armageddon.
turd experienced quite a neuron shit storm trying to reconcile the ACA decision and it most definitely pushed the limits on turd’s critical pondering capacity.
Only thing that went the tightie-rightie way was that “tax” hook to hang their hatred. They don’t even bother to know what it means but somebody said “tax” and they bit on it like ornery badgers.
That is very low. By comparison, a ham sandwich is 5.1 Romneys on the pondering scale, or 7.3 if it includes mayo.
Katie Holmes made a bold and daring escape from the compound, apparently by tying 6 bedsheets together and shimmying down the wall, and got to a phone.

Repeat after me, Repubs – EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE. before you start hooting about things, perhaps you shouldn’t have let Dubya use that line so many times.
That is all.
The chutzpah (which seems to be the word of the day) is breathtaking.
I think this is taking things a bit far…
I’m not so much personally offended as I am concerned that donors in general will find this off-putting. It’s a bit like those letters people in tithing religions get from their churches sometimes with “suggested pledge” amounts, complete with later reminders that they haven’t made their suggested pledge yet. I don’t know; perhaps it’ll be effective, but I have yet to meet the person who feels better about giving out of shame than out of gratitude or excitement.
What do y’all think?
I know when and how much I can give. I don’t mind a reminder that its the end of the reporting period, but its set up to almost make it look like a pledge. Like they want you to feel obligated.
Its like when charities send me unsolicited cheap crap thinking it will increase my likelihood of donation. Actually it has the opposite effect–I keep the address labels or the shiny nickle they send and trash the solicitation. I give my money away when I can–to charity and to politics. But I hate such transparent gimmicks.
