These are my co-workers. Very nice folks, in most other regards. But stark, raving lunatics, nevertheless. I urge all freepers to homeschool if possible.

Did you respond to them, or just let them go unchallenged?

I've noticed lefties on talk radio speaking a lot more about putting Saddam back in power in the last few days. It must be a new talking point for them.

She TRIED to respond to them, but like all libs they just don't WANT to hear the truth. They are FRIGHTENED of the truth. I know, I've been a few rounds with their type, and I presented written proof, but they said, and I quote one of them, "I don't have time for this trash."

Next time, speak up and make yourself heard. These people usually have no facts whatsoever to back up their cliches.

Well, I admire your courage, but I wouldn't have confronted them. I think they're terribly wrong to discuss politics in the workplace to begin with, and you've likely done nothing but bought yourself a daily helping of cold shoulder.

Put in that position, I usually say something like, "I'm a righty" or "should we really be talking about that here?"

I sat quietly until someone asked me a direct question and I told them that I think we did the right thing

Somebody's about to lose a teaching job!

Did you tell them that they are anti-American leftw-ing fascist Nazi idiots who should leave this great nation and go live with their terrorist friends?

I put mine in a Christian school. Tuition hurts the budget something awful... but I'd rather raise morally right kids that subject them to the trash in public school.

Also, their math scores jumped 35 percentage points the first year (from a low F to a high D) and this year, my youngest is making straight As, my middle child is a solid C+ all around, and my oldest is now getting a C in Math with everything else A's and B's. Nationally the schools is testing 1 year, 7 months ahead of their grade levels so I'm am just as happy as can be.

No offense to you, perfect lady, but this is one of the reasons why I homeschool.

People with these reasoning, analytical and fact-gathering skills are qualified to teach my kids how . . .????

She probably wouldn't stand a chance. Liberals like to bully people who use fact and reason instead of shrieking hysteria - case in point, the odious Rosie O'Donnell.

I see your screen name suits you! I'm sorry you had to deal with that, as I think the teachers' lounge should be just for that: lounging!

I guess it's hard to tell someone faceon: "have you considered that you're being lead on by people who would have you remain uninformed of the realities of these situations?"

employees of the country's public school systems are some of the most hard core moonbat Dems we have. I am not surprised at anything you posted here.

Well, at least you responded in some fashion. I apologise for not seeing that.

Oh I like a bit of confrontation. Maybe if these libs are talking to her rudely she could respond by telling them that they are NEA Sheep that are just baa baaing the latest trendy set cliches.

Do you live in a blue state?

Oh yeah, release Saddam and put him back in power. What a great idea ....

Sigh.

I'm in northern California and we have the same bunch of mindless chattering loons here. I have given up on having a rational conversation around here with anyone but my husband.
