The latest creepy meme in the blogosmear™ is that the President of the United States is unfit to speak to America’s schoolchildren. Why?
Because he’ll turn them all into “Communists,” and “Socialists.”* Seriously.
[* Don't these geezers know that the last time "socialist" was used was during the first FDR term in 1933? And that most Americans [...]

Which nominee for President of the United States is homophobic and has a gay chief of staff at his Senate office in Washington, DC?
