Life at Winnetka Petty-@$$ed Elementary School

The nice, sweet, pretty librarian was going to take time out of her busy day to read to the children.  Very kind, thoughtful and nice of her.

That is, until the liberal, intolerant, elitist snots at Hubbard Woods School in Winnetka, Illinois decided that Laura Bush was an eeeeeeeeeeeevil influence on their kids, because her husband's George W. Bush, and Bush is...well, let's let WorldNetDaily tell the story:

Local Illinois school officials who invited first lady Laura Bush to read to students for 30 minutes withdrew the invitation following the pleas of gun-control activists critical of President Bush's policies.

Can't have any of those eeeeeeeeeeeevil gun-huggers putting filthy ideas like freedom, capitalism and the right to self-defense into our chillll'run's  heads, nosirreebob.

Hubbard Woods School Principal Maureen Cheever extended the invitation early last week, reports the Wilmette, Ill., Pioneer Press. But local Democratic Party and gun-control activists told her there was no place in the "sacred" halls of Hubbard Woods School for a representative of the Bush administration, which they argued has a lax stance on gun control.

Excuse me, but who the !#*(@! owns the school, anyway?  Is it the school board, duly elected by the people of Winnetka - or is it the gun-grabbers and the Demoscum Party?  Inquiring minds want to know here.

Earlier that day, Cheever met with the vice chairman of the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence, Bob Williamson, whose two daughters were at Hubbard Woods School on May 20, 1988, when 30-year-old Laurie Dann shot six students, killing one.

During the meeting, Williamson warned Cheever he planned to hold a press conference across the street from the elementary school if the first lady indeed visited the school.

That's his right, of course.  And I'm very sorry he lost his two daughters to a trollop with a couple screws loose.

But Bob Williamson doesn't own Hubbard Woods School, nor does he have the right to tell the school who they can or can't have visit them.  I'd like to have him try and tell me  where I can or can't go.

If he thinks he has the 'nads, that is.

Bush's visit came less than two weeks after the expiration of a federal ban on assault weapons, an extension of which Bush said he would sign off on if Congress approved it. Williamson, however, said the president took a "two-faced" position on the ban, saying publicly he supported the extension but doing little to help the measure pass.

Believe it or not, we actually agree on this point.  But whereas this moron wanted Bush to violate the Constitution and sign an extension, I wanted him to STFU about it.

The difference, of course, is that I'm right and Williamson has fecal matter where his gray matter should be.

Jeanne Bishop, who is on the steering committee of the anti-gun-violence group Million Mom March, called Cheever to express the group's "great pain and distress over what we felt was a really insensitive juxtaposition of location and timing."

Boo-hoo-freakin'-hoo.  Cry me some crocodile tears, why don'tcha?

News flash, idiots:  Bill Clinton ain't in the White House anymore.  We don't care what  you think is "insensitive".

Bishop, whose pregnant sister and brother-in-law were gunned down in their Winnetka, Ill., home in 1990, said such a visit could anger those who watched the tragedy of the school shooting unfold.

Y'know, Jeannie-poo, had your sis and bro-in-law had guns of their own, you might have them here today - did you ever stop to think about that?

Apparently not.  And losing them because they couldn't defend themselves is not a rationale for wanting me to not be able to defend myself.

And your attempt to grab our guns is making us  angry.  But I guess our  anger doesn't count, does it, bimbo?

"When I think of those people having to see children at Hubbard Woods School be political props as part of a campaign swing from a president who has been so closely associated with the NRA (National Rifle Association) and has done so little to promote sensible gun laws, it was just hurtful to me," Bishop told the local paper.

Frankly, bee-yotch, we don't give a fat rat's @$$ what  you consider "hurtful".  You don't have a right not to feel hurt in this country - get that through your thick head.

Pressure on the school to retract its invitation also came from local Democrats who said Bush's 30 minutes with the children would amount to a photo-op for the Bush campaign.

So much for the right to assemble peaceably as defined by Article I of the Bill of Rights.  Then again, the Demoscum have never paid more than lip service to the Constitution.

If that...

Superintendent Rebecca van der Bogert denied that the district had yielded to political pressure, though she acknowledged having conversations with Cheever over a number of calls that had come in. Van der Bogert agreed with Cheever's decision to pull the invitation, which she said was driven by the meeting with Williamson.

"We actually didn't  cave in to political pressure - before  we did cave in to it."

F-nozzles...

"Religion of Peace", huh?

BC over at the Rott has stumbled upon an interview with several Muslims conducted by MEMRI concerning public attitudes about the Joooooooooooooos.

The results are hardly surprising.  Remember, these are the people President Shrubya calls the "Religion of Peace".

These are also the people, as BC pointed out, that are supported by the Left.

Remember that  November 2nd.
