      Doesn't an exoskeleton go on the outside and not the inside? So shouldn't he call it an endoskeleton?

      So, the right wing is worried that a terrorist attack or swine flu will trigger the government to take "unprecedented" control of its citizens...um...really?

      I have a son that starts fourth grade on Tuesday. And he said, "Dad, do I have to listen to that endoctrination."
      Sorry, but I don't buy that a nine year old child came up with that word on their own. I don't buy it for a second. I would be more likely to believe that the child heard that he doesn't have to listen to the speech if he doesn't want to, and believing it to be boring, he was asking to get out of it.

      Any other explanation would be a result of his father's teachings.

        I have no problem imagining this guy's son walking around the house bleating "Socialism! Marxism! Indoctrination!" nonstop. Does that mean Gray's son knows what those terms mean? No more than his dad does.

          That's about the same mental picture I had when I heard the caller.

        Oh, I don't believe that it can't be true.
        I knew the son of the local grand poo ba of the KKK and he sounded just like his dad. Go figure.

        But; your probably right. This is was the callers way of getting his point across and also letting us know that everyone else he knows is as stupid and misinformed as he is.


        I don't blame ALL of this stuff on racism, though it plays a part, it just goes to show how far America really has to go.

      Gray: "What is the exoskeleton that is being placed inside this government?"

      Um, Gray, you do know what an exoskeleton is, don't you? I thought not.

        Probably not, but he has taken the imagery from Glenda Becky. This White House is trying very hard to be open and transparent, and it gets accused of building some dark, secret, exoskeleton!

      Excuse me, but the Nazis were Fascists, extreme militaristic nationalists who favored one party states,heroism, propaganda and indoctrination. The only people espousing these points are the Teabaggers who seem dead set on having things their way. The seem to forget that the majority of the people of the United States voted to put a Democrat in the White House and a gain of 10 Senate seats and 70 in the House! It was no problem to have Republicans in control of all three branches of Government, but when the Democrats do, it is wrong. And one thing about the current Administration, it favors inclusion and diversity, which kind of goes against the whole Fascist/Nazi thing that the Conservatives are trying to pin on us. But wait, I forgot, Social Justice (a major tenant of the Catholic Church) is evil, too! And diversity? Outrageous! Who do those people like they are to want to be included! Hey, Caller Steve, if you have to say that race isn't an issue with you, it is. And if your 4th grade son naturally uses the word "indocrination" to refer to a public speech, he's a weird kid. The simple fact is, you are the one who has indoctrinated your son....into a fine sense of hatred for those around him. Congratualations on the fine little bigot you've raised! Oh, and by the way, John Adams took his oath of office on Law books, because he thought it was more important for a secular leader than religion. And if a President violates his oath, he can be impeached (tried) and removed from office.

      Yes, Nazis. Must be afraid. Oooohhhhhh.... so scary--a long dead movement has risen from the grave. Run for the hills!

      You know what's really sad, even the Germans think this Nazi talk is nuts.

      The great and tragic irony about these shidiots on the right is that the Constitution was already shredded by the previous administration. They blindly plodded along while Cheney-Bush wiped their rear ends with constitutional protections against government intrusions into their lives. Remember all those wise asses correcting people about the Writ of Habeas Corpus vs. the Right of Habeas Corpus? No a Republican president can throw into a hole somewhere without charges and access to legal council forever and that's OK. A Democratic president gives a speech welcoming children to school and it's an affront to human decency and an exercise in totalitarian mind control.

        Next time, trying to be more forthcoming and tell how you really feel. But, yes, I share your anger but you forgot to mention torture the person in the hole. I was overseas and had limited access to the news back in 2004, so I didn't hear about the nitpicking about Writ and Right of Habeas Corpus. I am sure it would have been interesting.
