Batshait crazy homeschooler reactions to the election
November 5th, 2008 by COD
Feel free to point me to more in the comments. I’ll add to the list as they get posted.
1) Judy Aron: Amerika Goes Socialist – Complete with the hammer and sickle replacing the stars in the US flag, and a proclamation that Obama is not her president because he isn’t a US citizen.
2) And here is a homeschooling mom that if it weren’t for needing to care for her children, would be in my closet, curled up in the fetal position, rocking back and forth. Just a little over dramatic, do you think? She also goes onto worry about socialized health care, which of course has nothing to do with Obama’s plans for health care. And she is worried about Obama and home education, because, well I have no idea. The guy has never said a thing that implies he is even thinking about homeschoolers.
3) This was left in the comments, and it’s a homeschooling father to boot. He uses Marx and Lenin in the first sentence. Woot, double commie word score. He closes with the “I do not believe it will be long before they start coming for us.” I’m not sure if “they” are black, liberals, commies, marxists; or maybe black liberal hippie commie marxists.
Daryl found this one. Reading it made my brain hurt, but I think she is saying that electing Obama pissed God off, and now there will be hell to pay.

LOL – glad you think I am crazy… LOL
We’ll see won’t we.
And you call yourself an Education anarchist??? Hah!
How much money will YOU be giving to Obama and his plan to spread the wealth? We’ll see won’t we.
Will you be joining his national security force?
Great post, Chris . . . sad to say but the “batshait crazy homeschooler” lives in my town. You and I probably wouldn’t agree about homeschooling much, but I loved the headline and you seem to still get a big kick out of blogging, which I think is pretty cool.
IT-wise I consider myself to be an intelligent end-user . . . I don’t know anything about how computers work, only a few things about how to make them do some of the things I want them to do. So when I read your “about” page I was surprised to discover that we had something else in common. I recently purchased an Asus eee 1000H netbook with XP installed and then decided to partition it and install Ubuntu for fun. Actually, it hasn’t proved to be that much fun because although XP still works fine, Ubuntu makes the computer hang . . . and some of the drivers don’t seem to work . . . and I haven’t the foggiest notion of what to do now. But it was still fun.
She really ought to turn off Trackbacks.
Damn, even I think she’s a loon.
We ought to have a pentecostal pageant with the homeschool blog awards this year!
Michele Bachman, Sarah Palin, Judy Aron and their ilk vying to be crowned, let’s see, Miss McCarthyite? Miss REAL America? Miss White Avenging Angel? Miss Wolf and Witch Bane?
You wrote:
“…and a proclamation that Obama is not her president because he isn’t a US citizen.”
She had written:
“…Barack Obama is not my president as long as he does not produce a birth certificate proving he was born here….”
That isn’t the same as saying that Obama isn’t a US citizen. It would seem she is referencing the rules of eligibility for presidency.
When you paraphrase so inaccurately, you lose credibility.
If you really believe that sentence means anything other than Judy doesn’t believe that Obama is a US Citizen you have a serious reading comprehension problem.
Either way, doesn’t matter. He is a citizen. He did produce the proof, which she either knew or should have known before raving like a loon, which just makes homeschoolers look either subversive against duly elected government, or else completely incompetent to educate our own without close supervision.
If anybody wants to worry that our freedoms are in jeopardy in the near future, there’s a good cause for concern.
I had hoped once the elections were over we could all move forward TOGETHER.
It continually amazes me that the doom and gloom crowd forget about the checks and balances we have in our government. Also he was elected to a FOUR year term, he will either do a Great/OK job and get re-elected or he won’t get re-elected and we will elect someone new. That is the great thing about America.
To be fair, he has not provided proof in so much as a legal copy, there was a scanned copy on a website, and then the Gov. of Hawaii, a Republican, verified one and reported it to the media and then sealed the records.
Factcheck has seen and held the actual physical birth certificate. http://www.factcheck.org/elect.....e_usa.html
Anybody that believes Obama is anything other than a naturally born citizen of the US needs to adjust their tinfoil hat.
Source? Did you read the factcheck link? They actually handled it, felt the raised seal, inspected it, etc.
“FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate.”

Chris, apparently you missed the statement about Obama respecting a parent’s decision to homeschool. And if that isn’t scary, what is?

Here’s an excellent example of why I don’t support various online homeschool group efforts like the carnival, the “official” awards, and that kind of stuff – because people like these drama queens participate. Obama is a socialist, baby killer, illegal alien, tax-master, terrorist, muslim, constitution buster, and kitten eater. Blah blah blah. It doesn’t matter how many times you present the facts that refute these stupid rumors. And because every single one of these rumors is false and the facts have repeatedly been verified, there’s only one answer – they don’t like him because he’s black. Period. McCain ran an ugly, smear filled campaign. He picked a moron for a running mate. Mr Obama never veered from the issues, never lowered himself to attacks, and was clear on his vision. We live in an exciting time. I’m proud to be an American, in spite of California’s passing of Prop. 8.
I should have read the comments first..
Don’t you bleeding liberals know FactCheck is some kind of ACORN spin off and lives in Obama’s back pocket? Actually, I don’t remember the association, but antiobamanites refuse to believe factcheck now.
As for the birth certificate.. If I were Obama, I wouldn’t have produced my birth certificate either. Why would he need to? One, it’s likely he’s had to show it repeatedly in his life to get a drivers license, law license, passport, voters registration, any number of identification type things – LIKE DECLARING HIMSELF A CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY. It’s ludicrous to think he’s been using a fake the last couple of years – I know this, because I recently had to live the nightmare of replacing my ID. And two, some idiot accuses him of being a non citizen. He’s innocent until proven guilty. It’s the accuser’s responsibility to provide the burden of proof, not Obama’s. He’s a lawyer, I’m pretty sure he knew that. What exactly was the existing burden of proof? Oh yeah, a statement from some shirt tail relatives in Kenya and a “phone call from gramma”. Good grief.
Shoot, Doc, I didn’t get the memo about factcheck’s liberal cosnpiracy membership card. Has O”Donnell Web at least escaped their indictment thusfar?
I don’t know if my comment will be approved but I did go to deliberatewanderer’s blog to suggest that, with 70-80% of the US population self-identifying as Christian, “coming for us” could be quite a project.

Well, that was polite of him. DW gives notice in his latest blog entry that there will be no tolerance of anything but his (very odd) views on his blog. Anyone with even the mildest of contrary comments is an “idiot.”

It’s the standard fundie template. Claim you are being attacked by godless heathens without ever actually providing any proof of such attacks. Also, for a follower of Christ, he seems to be particularly unfamiliar with Jesus’ teachings about how one should interact with his fellow man.
Nance, I say that too – but I leave the dissenting comments and more often than not, make a blog post out of them.
I don’t remember you calling everyone who disagrees with you an idiot, Doc. Some, of course, deserve that title.
But that is one big difference between the extreme right and the rest of the world — their inability to tolerate dissent.
Up to a point, of course. Rude and idiotic posters need not be tolerated.
But all I said in my comment there was that there are so many Christians that coming for them would be a mighty undertaking. Too radical, I guess.
Nance
Didn’t bother to leave a comment but I wonder if they ever ‘see’ how irrational they are.
He said
You won’t amass wealth, but rather you’ll give it away.
So if Christians are suppose to give everything away and not amass wealth why would they have a problem with communism/socialism?
I didn’t vote for Obama because he was black. I voted for him because I believed he was the best person for the job that we had to choose from.
Well, now I feel special! My comment was approved.

Hey Chris, this one is about “public” education from a batshit-conservative world view, does that count?
On one conservative board, people unhappy with the president elect were discussing places they could emigrate to – Australia, New Zealand, or maybe Canada. I wonder if they realize all those places are way higher on the socialism ladder than we are. Dolts.
“…Australia, New Zealand, or maybe Canada. I wonder if they realize all those places are way higher on the socialism ladder than we are.”
And hand-in-hand with that, way higher on the secular ladder too.
Loved this bit from Penthesilea in Judy’s comments:
“I really do wonder where all of the McCain supporters would move if they left the U.S. I mean liberals have all kinds of places where they could live happily, but Iran is the only place that has the religious oppression and law and order ideals that the McCain/Bush supporters so cherish.”
Cheers.
What a great time I’m having reading through all of your posts…even this one…oh, and please keep all of those scared little people south of the border…
I was really disapointed by Judy. I used to think she was rather rational.
The lie to her whole birth certificate thing is that of course even if Obama produced what she’s demnding she already has her response lined up. he poted awhile ago that his trip to his his ailing grandmother was just a cover to secure a tricked-up BC. In fact I’m quite sure I left a comment about that on her blog yesterday but it hasn’t, as yet, appeared (It’s quite possible I forgot to hit submit).
You’ve ventured into loony land when you cut off any means by which valid evidence will sway you and that’s what Judy has done.
What I find interesting is that those posting stuff like this about Obama are so focussed on Obama. Apparently there was such a vaccuum of anything good to say about other candidates that this was all they could manage to talk about. Probably heped the Obama campaing in the end.
Exactly what we were commenting on here last night, Dawn.
There was no content to the McCain campaign that made any sort of sense so his boosters spent their time on this crazy stuff.
I truly think Judy and friends would not be satisfied with anything short of Obama hand-delivering a stack of citizenship documents notarized by God himself — and even then.
And she fails to see, apparently, how this doesn’t do anything but hurt the image of homeschoolers.

And thank you, Chris, for interpreting the last one. I do not have my batshit crazy to English dictionary handy and did not understand what the writer was saying.

I thought Obama *was* God’s judgment on America. Now we’re getting a new judgment as a judgment for the judgment?
The good news is that we can all relax a bit and stop refuting all their crackpot accusations. Obama is President, there’s nothing more we can do, and he’s got this now. The pots are going to continue to crack, but the votes are in and they didn’t win. So, I guess they’re just doing it for their own enjoyment now.
Well while the Big and little C’s are suffering the rest of us can enjoy a rational and hopefully prosperous life.
