Another conservative hack

There has been an interesting topic on Airliners.net involving a mysterious airplane that has been circling over Lodi, CA for the past several weeks. (For more on that, go here.) The mystery plane has sparked some debate on the forum over "The War", Bush, politics and Big Brother.

One forum member, DLKAPA, who appears to be as liberal as I am, commented about the war, Bush and so on in ways that I would of, and another forum member, who is definitely conservative wrote, in response to DLKAPA, "Believe me, I was alot like yourself when I was your age. [] The older I got and the longer I was away from the education apparatus of the US, the more I realized the liberal ideal is based on wishful thinking and emotions. Which are systematically pounded into every child who attends public school. Reality is just one option among many, according to liberals. Only when you are away from that environment for a while do you start to see the world differently. REALITY sets in at some point. You finally realize the US has alot more on the ball than you think. The liberal set seems to hate the US. Why, I can't imagine." -Mikefad, airliners.net user.

Oh, my... I don't even know where to begin. I was appalled to read it, but it reminded me of how close minded many can be, especially conservatives. The artwork picutred above was included in one of DLKAPA's replies on the forum. I like the artwork because it seems to put in picture form what conservatives think about education. They hate it. They hate it because education teaches you to think, and a thinking person does not fit the conservative mold.

Mikefad, the one who wrote the ridiculous reply called the artwork, "anti-US." I can't begin to imagine how he came up with that, but he did. He also said, "Your picture seems to be a visual manifestation of this 'ideology', if you can call it that." What I think is funny is the artwork is a perfect explanation for what Mikefad wrote, that, "The older I got and the longer I was away from the education apparatus of the US, the more I realized the liberal ideal is based on wishful thinking and emotions." The poster is based off his idea, and is a perfect representation of how conservatives hate education.
