Great Idea #1:

Make John Frary (aka “Flammenwerfer”) the head of Maine’s Department of Education.

Why do such a thing?

Because he is known as such a “serious” person who would get hard work done, and do it well?

God no.

Here’s why:

I didn’t think it would be possible to inflame the libbie establishment any further than we have with Paul, but the Ol Flammer could add whipped cream on top of that pie for sure.

John Frary is the guy that ran for Congress as a big joke. Yep, that’s what we need- someone in charge of our children’s education who can be funny (to white males over age 60… and Naran) and annoy large segments of the population. ‘Cause it is hilarious when they get mad? Get it?? Hahahaha…. GREAT IDEA! Sign him up!

Oh, and remember that gay marriage debate where he used the f-bomb? Again, that is EXACTLY the kind of person I want in charge of educating children.

Great Idea #2:

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em! Sorta kinda…

AMG is awash with the new conservative meme: Martin Luther King, Jr. was one of them. A dyed in the wool conservative who, tragically, was unlucky enough to live in a time before his soulmate Glenn Beck.

Remember all those decades when conservatives called MLK a communist? When they opposed the creation of this very holiday?

Remember the Southern Strategy?

None of that matters.

The guy’s registration was Republican in the 1960′s. Therefore, obviously, he endorses all policies of the modern Republican party; even unfair, family destroying, and taxing-without-representating ones like our current immigration policy (according to Naran in the link above).

Because if there is one thing MLK liked, it was having a bunch of minorities working in the shadows for less than minimum wage while fearing their forced removal from the free country they came to in search of a better life for themselves and their kids. And, by the way, paying taxes they will never enjoy the benefits of, without any civic voice. And being blamed for pretty much every societal ill no matter the facts. That’s why he never said things like, “Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds.”"

And the NAACP? What would a bunch of black people know about the fight for equal rights for black people. I mean, my gosh, it was like 40 years ago! No one alive could possibly remember things from back then. Obviously Naran is far more knowing and sympathetic to the cause than people who were actually there, or their children.

While I’m on this little rant, here’s another tidbit for you AMGers: the name “NAACP” is not racist. I know, it literally says “for the advancement of colored people….” But consider that the name was picked in 1909, and that the group was began primarily by white and Jewish people and didn’t even have a black President until the 70′s, and, well, suddenly the name doesn’t seem descriptive of a racist organization. And they certainly work with people of all races. So why call them racist?

Answer: Because calling groups like the NAACP racist for political gain is one of the most effective wedges Republicans use to divide us. And AMGers fall for it hook, line, and sinker.

And so does our Governor.
