I would love to reach out but they make it so hard.

I am trying to take people on the right seriously in this country, I really am. I would love nothing more than to have a serious debate on the issues, but unfortunately I am doing my daily read of Mediaite and I scanned not one but three articles that gave me a reason to rethink my position.

"The co-hosts on Fox News’ The Five this week took on the dangerous trend of…elementary school math. Eric Bolling warned parents that they need to be vigilant of the way Scholastic Books, “the world’s leading publisher of children’s books,” is pushing the “liberal agenda” through algebra lessons. The evidence? A primary school worksheet entitled, “Distribute The Wealth.”

The worksheet was meant to teach the distributive property of multiplication and Bolling cautioned that it actually teaches kids in grades three through six to “distribute the wealth with a lovely rich girl with a big bag of money.” He told parents they need to read kid’s textbooks and “find out what is taught.” If a “bias” is present, he added, “explain it to your kids and tell teachers you’re on it.” 

Okaay, so now we have a liberal agenda infiltrating our math classes.

"Michelle Dresbold, handwriting expert and author of “Sex, Lies And Handwriting,” appeared on Fox & Friends to tell the co-hosts that Secretary of Treasury appointee Jack Lew‘s signature means that he is “compulsive” and that he “doesn’t want to give any information” at all about his personal life.
Although Law’s signature has been the subject of many a recent news piece, Dresbold took her analysis to another level, claiming that a “bunch of circles” that are “repetitive” mean that Lew “can’t stop.” His hand, she said, “keeps repeating and repeating.” What this means, according to Dresbold, is that “when he thinks about something, he thinks about it over and over again and can never let go.”

The Secretary of Treasury, based on his handwriting, has a compulsive personality.

"Appearing on CNN this morning, “Gun Appreciation Day” chairman Larry Ward said that if blacks had been armed, there never would have been slavery in America.

Ward’s group planned the appreciation day for the weekend of President Obama‘s second inauguration, and some critics have attacked the celebration for its proximity to Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

“I think Martin Luther King, Jr. would agree with me if he were alive today that if African Americans had been given the right to keep and bear arms from day one of the country’s founding, perhaps slavery might not have been a chapter in our history,” Ward told CNN host Carol Costello."

There are no comments necessary for that one.

Finally, you gang- bangers are going to have to start thinking before you act.

"BURLINGTON, N.C. - Police in North Carolina say a deaf man was stabbed several times after his sign language was mistaken for gang signs by another man.

Burlington Police Sgt. Mark Yancey said 45-year-old Terrance Ervin Daniels was using sign language with another deaf man. He said a third person saw them, thought they were flashing gang signs and stabbed Daniels with a kitchen knife. A neighbour saw the victim and called emergency personnel.

Daniels is in stable condition at UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill after Wednesday's incident.

Police arrested 22-year Robert Jarell Neal and charged him with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury and felony assault on a handicapped person. He's being held in the Alamance County jail. It's not known if Neal has an attorney."

Mr. Neal, you might want to sign up (no pun intended) for some free sign language classes while you are in the slammer.
