Wisconsin high school teacher refused to accept an MLK Award from Rep. Paul Ryan… Because Ryan in a capitalist and does not push socialist policies.
What a nut. …On MLK Day of all days.
Via Breitbart TV:
Here is part of the fool leftist’s speech:
The challenge of humanitarians today is to close that divide and fight for the well being of the 99 percent. The struggle for equality is not only a civil rights struggle; it is an economic justice struggle. There is no wealth problem in this country only a distribution problem. Our society needs to reorder its priorities and meet human need instead of fostering individual human greed.
As a recipient of Gateway Technical College’s Humanitarian Award, I pledge to redouble my efforts in the struggle for social and economic justice. Concretely, that means fighting to roll back the power of the corporate elite in our society, making the ultra-rich pay their fair share in taxes, fighting for adequate funding for our public schools, restoring collective bargaining for public employees, fair and humane immigration reform, and restoring the voting rights for all people living within our state and country.
That is what democracy looks like.

The same people that selected him for the award also picked Ryan as the presenter, Ryan did not invent the award or have anything to do with the selection and in the future will be to busy to be insulted.

MLK would be so proud. NOT!

Why was Ryan even there? That’s my question.
mg4us commented:
Fire this turd of a teacher. .the taxpayers, parents and kids need to speak up and say enough is enough. .
He dosen’t even know what Dr. King stood for. . .not expansion of social programs or more government but equal OPORTUNITY and respect. . . enough with Libtard revisionist history.
Wake Up Wisconsin. . before it is too late.

It’s not a good idea to praise teachers too much…they already have too much self-esteem and a colossal sense of martyrdom. (i speak from experience…)
donh commented:
This is why I do not trust Paul Ryan….He poses as a conservative…but look at the quality of people he selects to honor….a rabid far left socialist bigot… Privately Mr Ryan is a close friend of Bill Clinton as shown in this video of him getting a pat on the back from Bill ….>>> http://youtu.be/1Az_GZoiZM4 … Democrats scuttled the tea party 2010 victory by having their stealth agent Mr Ryan pass a doomed piece of legislation that enabled Obama to wage a media PR attack on conservativces as granny killers. If I was a congressman , I would find someone to honor who proves minorities can succeed on their own talents without the humiliation of a big brother communist appointing their successes with public money.

martha commented:
Lefty showing class and grace as usual. Like the rewriting of history he does there with MLK’s goals in the civil rights struggle of the 60′s. Jobs and Healthcare? I do’nt think so, I think it was more about the abolition of Jim Crow and voting rights. Back in the 60′s before LBJ’s great society, Black families had a father in the house and they went to work.
Rock commented:
Pity the poor little man, going thru life ashamed of being white and American has crippled his own self esteem. To justify his own worthless existence he must now destroy the self respect of all who have the misfortune of ending up in his class. Oh well no matter how many others he cripples, he is still a small pathetic little man whose 15 minutes of fame have been tarnished by his own bigoted rant.
Ipso Facto commented:
One of the worms that is causing the entire apple to rot is the NEA. Even Steve Jobs even told Obama to get rid of the teachers unions.
The unions are doubling down in WI and pouring millions into the recall of Scott Walker. What are we doing to take down the NEA and the corrupt, socialist teachers unions – NOTHING!
Until we mount an organized, well-funded national effort to educate the public about the rot being caused by the teacher’s unions, this problem will continue to fester and get worse.

SturJen commented:
Oh, I’m not surprised. Governor Scott Walker gave the State of the State speech a few days ago. During the time when Gov. Walker was speaking on how Wisconsinites should have more respect for each other, and stop personally attacking each other about politics. During that time a shrill harpy of a woman stood up and started screaming ‘Liar!” repeatedly.
That harpy? A Librarian with the Madison School District.
RickS commented:
This is just how Democrats are. Their party founded the KKK twice. Bull Connor was a Democrat just like clueless Al Levie. To be a Democrat is to hate. It’s what they do.
obfuscatenot commented:
Judge this man, by the content of his character…….loser.
“societies” of Math and English teachers consider social justice their primary task these days. Dare I say that is why our rankings in the world are plummeting. Gee, thanks teach.
apodoca commented:
And how much of his monthly salary, er, wage (since he’s a commie, pinko bastard) does he distribute and to whom?
Just like Obama. Skinflint with his money, generous with other people’s.
How the hell did America become a nation taken over by the Communists?
More Liberty commented:
Disgusting. You see, it’s not about freedom or liberty for these nuts. It’s about equality of outcome, something Communism tried but failed at. The true measure of if a society is great comes from how much freedom the individual actually has.
“In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all – security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again.”
― Edward Gibbon
jwyatt03 commented:
Once again, here’s a conservative being a class act and trying to work with people who are hateful, stupid, and have no manners. And Obama gets up in his SOTU address and claims Republicans are the ones who will not work with him. I’m really tired of this to the point that I don’t want to even try to get along with hateful people any more. Just defeat them in the arena of ideas and let them swirl down the toilet for all I care.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
No, this is what Communism looks like.
Read this, from today:

So many connections. So much public apathy.
This house is so termite-ridden by the Communists, there is scarcely a board left to stand on.
But never forget: Reagan beat Communism! Woohoo!

Agree with #7 (I’m also a retired teacher). Libs shut down Wisconsin Senate yesterday by packing the gallery and shouting obscenities. This is what “democracy” often looks like here in WI.
Real American commented:
why the hell is Paul Ryan giving awards to commies? There wasn’t a patriot available?
Taqiyyotomist commented:

Indeed. How about a King award for folks like Allen West. Kevin Jackson. La Shawn Barber.
Larry Elders. Walter Williams. Armstrong Williams. Janice Rogers-Brown. Thomas Sowell.
Bill Cosby. Condoleeza Rice. Clarence Thomas.
—
and on, and on.
But no, we have to give the award to a Communist puppet, for his Service to the Soviet.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
#31
If you had any idea. It is the Democrats who bite fingers off, beat black conservatives bloody, key peoples’ cars, and engage in all manner of violence:
Tea Party Arrests: Just a couple — all of them Democrats who came to do violence.
OWS Arrests: almost SIX THOUSAND. Rapes, assaults, child molestation, every drug charge one can dream up, underage prostitution, public exposure, public defecation and urination, vandalism, and many, many more.
It is your “side” of the aisle that loots every store in miles when there is a catastrophe.
It is your “side” of the aisle that venomously expresses death-wishes toward people like Palin, Cheney, Rush, and every other conservative, to the point where sites like Huffington Post have to TURN OFF COMMENTS because it gets so sick, grisly, and demonic.
Save the phony concern and fear.
You know as well as I do where the violent tendencies are more prevalent.
When the mass graves are being filled, they will, as always throughout history, be filled with the bodies of people who were murdered by YOU PROGRESSIVES.
But they had to be killed by the millions, because, as every Good Citizen knew, they were, how did you put it?
“.. Always talking in violent, aggressive rhetoric…” “…Your party is filled with dangerous reckless fools….”
Oh, and it isn’t Conservatives who have made a fad out of “The Knockout Game”.
That one is owned by YOU PROGRESSIVES, too!
Violence? Look in a mirror, pal.

And now we are commies? I thought we were marxists, before we were stalinists, before we were socialists.
commies do not win the US presidency. You are loopy-prly drunk like Jan Brewer aka Otis.
Too funny. The messiah managed 52% in the best Dem election since 1974 and you think he’ll win again? But I like obama. It’s obama, Pelosi, Reid, et al who showed their socialist roots and will give the Republican’s the White House, Senate and House.
Tell me, what will obama’s election and the majorities from ’08-’10 mean when the Republican’s reverse everything they did? Dodd/Frank, Obamacare, etc. are all gone with the ’12 election. So stock up on the tissues.
daryl commented:
Maybe our “award winning teacher” was expecting someone else to present her with the award.

bigL commented:
What 9 donh said -exactly. I spotted that too. That there was this great momentum for repeal of Obama no care. Whether it got signed or not, or passed over the veto.atleast the mo was there and who knows with the 2012 comin’ up, many donks might have voted “for themselves” and scotched Obama Nocare.
But No-o-o the Gop-elites and the donks (same thing) said essentially ‘sure Paul ryan, now is the time to present the redo of Social Security”. And “sure we will all back you.”And then hid behind all that vitriol and no Obama defund was even written.
But the dirty secret that is just now coming to the forefront is that the GOP does NOT and will not vote to kill obama care. ROmey staff said it would not be repealed The GOPs see the power in it and all the easy “mail-in’ $300K jobs in managing the giant scam. So when the congressers lose or leave they have place to go for a hi pay job.
Bigger prb than Obama and the Junta are the GOP elites.

He’s friends with people with whom he disagrees? God forbid.
wanumba commented:
A lot of flowery rhetoric to dress up and obscure the nut:
“fighting for adequate funding for our public schools, restoring collective bargaining for public employees”
Translation: “I … that is ME … to say MOI … want to be paid MORE MONEY for LESS productivity.”
THat’s the ONLY thing that will get that “social justice fraud” to the picket lines. His personal pay and benefits. If it’s “social” or “justice” for anything else … “gee, just can’t … I’m so far behind scanning the homework papers into the computer.”
Notice how the Left cries “evil profits!!” but think nothing of jacking school tuition, shool expenses, and charge OUTRAGEOUS prices for TEXTBOOKS. They NEVER think THEY are paid too much. I think $100 for a one semester textbook is highway robbery and price gouging. The American Embassy/State Department school here is $18,000 for KINDERGARTEN. Billed to taxpayers.
Every industry the Left dominates is OVERPRICED and INEFFICIENT and MORIBUND. Entertainment, education, movies, coffee, law, solar …

this guy wants to narrow the wealth gap by concentrating the wealth of millions of people in the hands of thousands of politicans. having millions create wealth is worse then having thousands confiscate wealth.

THIS.. Ignorance is teaching our Children?? No wonder we now rate 35th in education, among the developed industrial countries… “When MUCH is required… Much is given” “Ask NOT what your country can do for you”…. What can WE do for this once GREAT country??? It is getting so lost.

WillofLa commented:
The whole issue of the so-called “civil rights” of Blacks was that they deserved more access to what they perceived as what everyone else was getting out of life except for them. Okay, fine then. So the liberals took over everything in our society that THEY believed Blacks weren’t getting enough of and saw to it the everyone else paid for giving it to them. The problem with that is, what exactly was it that they wanted? Did anyone ask the ordinary Black what they felt they saw in society that they believed they weren’t getting enough of? Was it education? The doors were ripped off the non-Black public education system, did away with the Black schools, and forced all schools to absorb all the Blacks that, then, had no place else to go after their schools were shut down and torn down so the Blacks couldn’t go back to them even if they wanted to.
Now, we have proof that for many, many years Blacks could not do what was expected of them in the education system that was created from the ashes of the then defunked non-Black public education system, that I may add had been a system with the highest standards of performance and excellence, actual proof of the highest numbers of graduates of any schools in the world of young people moving on to college for the specific purpose of getting the training and knowledge they needed to move on to success in their lives so much so that we were putting men on the moon on a regular basis, won more Pulezer Prizes, won more Nobel Prizes than any other country in the world in every disepline. Liberals didn’t care about any of that, and recreated education in this country so that it resembled more like the Soviet schools of equal outcome where every White who managed to graduate were just as dumb as Blacks who managed to graduate.
Ah yes, let’s all get a award for going along with this Soviet style education of Blacks where the outcome of whether or not they were educated was the results of a nationalized test that showed where they had managed to make it to attained basic level, which means in liberal education talk, they managed to lean what would have been considered back in my day, they reached 6th grade level by the time they left the 12th grade. Oooo, wow!
Nearly every high school back in my day was college prepartory and by the time you graduated from the 12th grade you were already doing 2nd. year level college subjects. In the 7th grade we took a nation wide test for reading and comprehension and most every one in my school ranked 12th grade to first year college level reading and comprehension. And Blacks are getting awards for what? Being what Martin Luther King wanted them to be? What was that educationally?

Honest to Pete, what is going on in America. This is despicable and hateful. Hard to imagine that Americans can act this way.
The progressive climate of hate. Martin Luther King Award? Really, they have got the wrong guy.
BurmaShave commented:
It is right and proper that Al Levie refused / declined the MLK award.
Because of Al’s hatefulness, he violates one of MLK’s central tenet. I believe that MLK would agree that Al should not have the award.

Red in Denver commented:
So, a few days ago, I saw a number of liberals on various programs bashing the Republicans (the candidates, in particular) for not doing anything to mark MLK Day. Now, here’s one who is bashing a Republican FOR DOING SOMETHING to commemorate it.
WHAT’S THE POINT? LIBERALS WILL NEVER PUT ANYTHING REPUBLICANS DO IN ANYTHING BUT A NEGATIVE LIGHT.
It’s a case of that old adage: No good deed goes unpunished.

many of were raised to respect the position of a US congressman/senator/president. the extreme left is the anth

I wish that the same LWM woud show, or report the venom that the leftists spew. In november, this is a capitalist society V Marxist America . . . ..I am prepared to go face to face with these parasites! ARE YOU? If Obama/McCaskill are re-elected we all lose!
