    There's nothing I've seen to show that more than half the teachers are liberal, let alone the vast majority that you fucksticks think.

    Yeah, other than the data in the Washington Post piece that you're lying about you've seen nothing. For ever 21 Republican teachers there are 79 Rat party teachers but Hondo has seen nothing.

    count on the thread to loose track from the subject matter.

    but going with the flow - Teacher demographics
    https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=28

    Liberal or Conservative - this from the Wapo
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/06/03/why-your-flight-attendant-is-probably-a-democrat/

    Yes teachers are femail, white and liberal. actually extremely liberal.

    In 2011–12, some 76 percent of public school teachers were female, 44 percent were under age 40

    White women doesn't mean they all are liberal. That quote is from your first link. When you see the demographics in the 12 election, white and older people voted Republican. I wouldn't say that older white women are more than 50% liberal and that's a large chunk of the teachers.

    https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how-groups-voted-2012

    Overall, teachers might be 50% liberal, 20% independent, and 30% conservative. But I think that's a big stretch. There's nothing I've seen to show that more than half the teachers are liberal, let alone the vast majority that you fucksticks think.
    Pathological. Fucking. Liar.

    I grew up a Demmycrat. My mom worked for Governors Booth Gardner and Mike Lowery. My other dad is a trial lawyer that worked on legislative steering.

    Then after I went to work in Bellevue real estate, I determined I needed to take the heed the advice of open-mindedness espoused by liberals and gave John Carlson and KVI radio a chance. Low and behold, I thought, "holy shit, this makes sense. It's logical."

    The pendulum swung hard right, and has since settled more centrist/libertarian as the pendulum came back.

    Being a centrist/libertarian/JFK-democrat has earned me 'black-sheep' status at family outings. AMIIGAF. Good times.

    In Bob's world. There are no Independents. It's black or white. Republican it Democrat.

    Of course Hondo, after lying his ass off yet again, runs and hides from this thread.

    In Hondo's world you just pull claims straight out of your ass and then lie about how you read the WaPo article. Those are the numbers from the WaPo piece you claimed to have read Hondo. I didn't make them up like your bullshit claim about teachers demographically being "pretty close" to the general population.

    I did it to club commies, socialists, Nazi's etc. All covered by the word "Democrat" now. Easier and more satisfying than baby fur seals.

    Speaking broadly, I don’t like politics – at least how it is practiced today. Most of politics is ignoring basic economic facts, history, science and math. And then there is the lying, primarily from the left, but plenty on the right. I’m a libertarian leaning conservative. I have no interest in running your life. But those on the left have a great interest in running my life.
    I’m interested in history and the future of this country because foremost it affects me and my family. Therefore, I enjoy arguing with facts and first principles. Both of those are like salt to a slug for leftards. It’s difficult for a leftard to argue from first principles if they are “free sh*t” and power. It’s quite interesting on any political board I’ve been on that leftards don’t even try to defend key positions like affirmative action or the fraud of global warming. Get one to define “black” for purposes of AA. Ask how much should we spend on global warming and what it will accomplish. Crickets. Then try arguing with Dan Rather about the fake TANG memos or anything that hondo is promoting. Why Dan Rather wants to be functionally indistinguishable from hondo is beyond me.
    Why anyone supposedly interested in politics listens to the fake news that comes from CNN or MSLSD is also beyond me. I don’t lie and don’t like to be lied to. With leftards it’s their prime purpose.

    I was taking your post seriously until the third "leftard" reference, which itself sounds retarded, and stopped reading.

    It's ok to be a political partisan. It's weak to try and pass yourself off as an objective scientist by wrapping yourself in the clothing of a "libertarian" and then leveling almost all of your incendiary, partisan and generalized insults for one group and using Hondo as your poster boy.

    Hondo is not the paradigm liberal, and more than Sledog is the paradigm conservative. There's a little more subtlety in the world.
    And yet you were completely incapable of supporting your argument that the religious right has a negative impact on your life equal to or greater than any negative impact from the religious left.

    And yet in what way does that have anything to do with this post you quoted?

    But since you want to take that turn, (1) we've established that I'm a religious bigot - in that I think it's all stupid - so, stipulated; and (2) as such, it's mere presence offends my sensibilities. That's good enough for me.

    I think I had a crazy aunt who used to send money to one of those TV church pastors. That was annoying. The Jehovah Witness people knocking on my door on Sunday is rather irritating. I'm offended that these money collection machines don't contribute their fair share of tax revenue to the bloated social program otherwise known as the US military. And the next time I knock up some whore in Georgia, I might become a father against my will. I don't like that at all.

    I dislike all kinds of things that don't interfere in my existence on a daily or practical basis. Most things don't. Sharia law doesn't affect me or introduce any negative effects on my life. How should I feel about it? Should I be worried about its proliferation here? The current price of gas is a bigger problem in my everyday life than the Muslim girls singing scary lyrics in Philadelphia. Shall we continue equivocating? Or are you going to help a guy out here and tell me the degree of interference I should be looking for?

    Your only contribution on calling me a liar is linking to a study saying that 77% of the teachers are women so clearly 79% of teachers are Democrats. And there are zero Independents.

    3 lies one post. Good job Hondo. Btw, I don't have to call you a liar Hondo, I can just quote you and everyone knows you're lying.

    I generally don't give much of a shit but to say that teachers don't push a liberal agenda is retarded

    This has been known for like the last 60 years

    Why is it you people always have to deny the obvious stuff?

    So you really think teachers across the country are primarily liberal? You do realize that their demographic is probably pretty close to the same as the general population, right?

    Hey Hondo, how come you're so unwilling to discuss your claim that teachers demographically are pretty close to the same as the general population? What happened to that line of bullshit Hondo?

    They are a lot closer to the general population than the original point I was responding to saying almost all teachers are Democrats. Lil lyin Bob

    Another lie. The post you were responding to when you stuck your head up your ass with that claim said nothing about "all teachers are Democrats" you pathological lying piece of shit.

    You even quoted him in your response. You then topped that line of bullshit off with a flat-out lie.

    You are being serious by saying that 77% of the teachers being women means that 90% of the teachers are Liberals.


    I never said any such thing Hondo. Why are you such a fucking liar Hondo?

    80% white and 77% Female. Yeah, that's "pretty close" to the demographic of the general population right Hondo. Not sure why you're calling me a liar Hondo the only in this thread I see lying is you.
