Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

The word fractious means to be unruly or not submissive. This word is often confused by people with the word factious. A sentence using the word fractious could be 'The fractious horse would not allow the harness to be put on'.

EW Jackson, newly nominated candidate for Lt. Gov. in VA will be perceived as fractious by the Dems. He has urged blacks to leave the Democrat plantation.

xshub and xsbaby were both delegates to the Republican state convention in Richmond this past weekend. To xsbaby’s delight, her nametag said VIP delegate on it, and xshub’s did not. It has to be because of her past work for the fairfax co. republicans. it was a great experience for her and a long day. They keep balloting until there is a majority winner. EW Jackson, who has been on Glenn Beck and mentioned by Rush, in the past, is our candidate for Lt. Governor— a black preacher speaking truth to black power! Ken Cuccinelli was unapposed for rep nomination as governor.

"You have been deemed FRACTIOUS by AG Holder
in your IRS-ObamaCARE account.
The Party has authorized us -- the ObamaCARE REPO Team-- to seize
your entire family's TeaParty kidneys and corneas.
Show your DNC Delegate Card or Koran, or submit."

The Kenyan can certainly act in a fractious manner when he doesn’t get his way.

Obama told a school child, “Subtraction is hard. Fractious is even harder.”

Tea Partiers were deemed fractious by the GOPe which is why the alarm was not raised earlier about the delayed and denied 50163s.

This corrupt administration probably describes Mrs. Engelbrecht as fractious but I love her spunk and hope she ends up taking them all down for how they are trying to oppress her rights and family business. This crap has got to stop.

When you have a President as plagued with scandals and atrocities as obama, but he refuses to resign, you get a fractious nation.
