School daze

Because my every utterance is precious and must be preserved for the edification of generations yet unborn, here is a comment I left on the Washington Examiner's asinine editorial decrying President Obama's planned Tuesday address to the nation's school children:

This hysteria over a simple TV address would be laughable if it didn't signal the pathetic decline of what once had been a respectable party of serious ideas.

I don't recall any alarm bells when Ronald Reagan held a nationally televised Q&A with middle school students, in which he actually addressed military spending and his preposterous economic theories.

The conservative movement is being run into a ditch by semi-literate fundamentalist goons and gun-crazy bigots whose nuts ascend at the sight of a black man in a position of authority. Good luck to you all!

Nicely put. At least there were several other sane comments. The hew and cry over Obama telling kids to study hard and try to excel is lunacy. But, as I attempted (and failed) to post from my iPhone to your Facebook (my god, we're spread techno-thin over the Interwebs) yesterday, the last thing the Right-wing wants is an educated electorate. Keep 'em dumb and a-scared.

Is it just me, or are most of the comments from the right-wing wackos riddled with misspellings and grammatical errors?
