Shameless self *promote in celebration of the $148 MILLION judgement Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss were just awarded by a jury for Rudy’s dangerous lies about them. Half the award, $75 million is punitive damages which he can’t escape with a bankruptcy!
Bye you cousin fucking loser! Enjoy dying in the poor house in disgrace.

@newtboy
now we are getting somewhere.

let us look at your first paragraph.notice anything?
ideology vs reality.
what you are proposing is the initial intent and ideologically i totally agree but even in your paragraph you concede to the truth,albeit a cynical truth.
(the referencing of the necessity if an informed public).which is only one aspect of a much greater whole which should be criticized and addressed.

understand i am not disagreeing with your assessments of the original intent.what i am pointing out is that what we have now is no where near a reflection of that intent,to which i have added that each right,privilege and dignity has had to be fought for and extracted FROM the government.

the government is "supposed" to represent the people.
it is "supposed" to protect and secure our rights.
but is that what we see play out?
i certainly dont think so.

the case is not exactly hard to make that the federal government no longer serves nor represents the will of the people but rather large corporate and monied interests.

though i will concede that revisionist text books can fascilitate indoctrination.

i am also not trying to make the argument this video is some political masterpiece of criticism.
it is a pandering,condescending,simple-minded piece of work BUT it is the criticism i admire.

i could go on for days on the failures of the public education system and it has very little to do with the teachers but rather the delivery system itself,which has become a machine which comodifies people into class categories.

henry giroux called it punishment creep.

school is not longer about education but rather about learning to obey.

quick story before i totally go off the rails and write you all a book:
i was subbing a history class for a friend and decided to teach shay's rebellion,since he was just completing america's war for independence and the rebellion is vital to understand the debate over federal powers.my friend was delighted with the idea but the administration was,less than enthusiastic.

the next day i was handed my third disciplinary notice and reprimanded for not following curriculum.which was bullshit because i was never given specific curriculum.

they wanted a babysitter...not a teacher.

i have not had a teaching gig since,because i didnt learn the lesson they are drilling into those kids brains.....obey.

sit down.
shut up.
and do what you are told.

do you truly think obedience should be the primary lesson learned at school?

Yo, yo,yo I weave a tapestry strike rapidly and
magically
Alter battle rap habitats automatically
You back down, I change your background like
Photoshop
My oratory inventory's overstocked
I'm ripping the track, djs are enjoying it
'Cutting it up, and completely destroying it'
Ambidextrous, yo you must be on a deathwish
Stepping to this, I'm venemous I'll leave you
breathless
I spat words, waxed and taxed herbs
Your raps absurd, backs get fractured,
My crack a shell, bag your mademoiselle
Take the cake then I break like a bat out of hell
You fuck with Esoteric catch a capital L
Lock horns with 7L, son there's none parallel
You need a beat to flow to?
You're lucky if your said Hello to
Bitch-ass crab I thought I told you

'Known to be the master in the M.C. field'
'Make way, 'cause here I come'
'Known to be the master in the M.C. field'
'Cover every angle on the mic, I'm killin''

It's Esoteric kid, yeah that's whose spitting
Ask Lew dipping in the back, brew sipping
I spit hot shit when wack crew ripping
It even leaves the ink on your tattoo dripping
Crab cat talk about how your seeing gats
The only metal you hold is the one for being wack
The only battle you've been in is the one you
reinact
Talking trash from the back like a sneak attack
I'm strictly biz cause I'm going where Parrish
went
You ain't wack, you's a fucking embarrassment

I'm making sense like your last record's total
sales
I spoke in brail, you felt it so much
That you left with broken nails
When packing a jam, harrassing the fans for not
clapping their hands
Cuz you ain't dope you just a flash in the pan
Like coke to a crack dealer bagging a gram
I rock a fitted cap, can't deal with little
straps
Strictly big guns when it comes to ripping tracks
I ain't sweating sales, dub this for your crew
Cuz once they hear the rhymes they're gonna want
the cover too

Yo I take command crushing all my enemies,
breaking their hands
A giant avalanche quaking your fam
The mic killer, I bring doom ripping buffons
Rhymes expand like the womb in delivering rooms
Too gory, these kids split Whigs like a Tory
More importantly I bring the 4th degree of
sorcery
Orally, forgery authorities report to me
Quarterly, the way I corner borders be like
Normandy
I'm ornery, words turn, as your verse squirms
like an earthworm
First learn, churches burn as worlds turn
Predicaments, make your ligaments of no
significance
I'm speaking real words kid your speaking
ignorance
I must insist, it's tough to feel dissed
By a rap group I don't even know exists
What you maggots hope to say, could never serve
Shay
The only wax you put out was candles on your
birthday

For the record, this was originally written by Hardy drew and the nancy boys. Shay Black does a cover and adds additional verses to their version.

Francis Scott Key wrote poetry. The Star Spangled Banner's melody comes from an old drinking song...


That must be why it resonates so deeply with me! "oh shay can you sheee *hick* bah the donzerlee liiigh"

I read this great piece of satire to counter Shays claims that it was "only a sex ring". Warning, like most things associated with modern Republicans, it is unfathomably disturbing.

Hey Shays, you asshole, why don't you check your own voting record! Remember that time you voted to modify our obligations under Geneva Convention.

How about the amendments to your turd of a bill that you voted against.

9/28/06 Senate Rejected --Specter Amdt. No. 5087; To strike the provision regarding habeas review.
9/28/06 Senate Rejected --Rockefeller Amdt. No. 5095; To provide for congressional oversight of certain CIA programs.
9/28/06 Senate Rejected --Kennedy Amdt. No. 5088; To provide for the protection of United States persons in the implementation of treaty obligations.

That last amendment was submitted because your were saying that the US no longer follow Geneva Convention as applies to torture and rape. Well guess what asshole, now our soldiers no longer are afforded Geneva security, and you redefined torture and rape to ALLOW anything short of anal and vagina penetration.

So, yeah, NOW you are right, Abu Ghraib was NOT torture by your new asshole definition of it.

farhad, if you want to read more, the article cited above is quite good. As for Shays sounding nuts, well, he doesn't really need any help with that.
