Quote of the Day: Such radical ideas as taking responsibility

by: Jason Springer

Wed Sep 09, 2009 at 10:54:01 PM EDT



A Star Ledger Editorial today "congratulated" parents who kept their children from hearing the President's address to students yesterday:
Goodness knows you wouldn't want your little Johnny or Janey indoctrinated with such radical ideas as taking responsibility for their own lives.

How dare the president presume to tell your children to pay attention to their teachers, listen to their parents and grandparents and "put in the hard work it takes to succeed?" Who is he to suggest that "when you give up on yourself you give up on your country?" Geez, if kids believed that sort of drivel, they'd never be able to blame the rest of the world for their failures.

Yes exactly, what a terrible idea to put in the minds of young children. Some people will oppose anything

It's slam-dunk, the whole enchilada. (0.00 / 0)
And a fun read.  

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.
