Utah To Teach USA is a Republic, Not a Democracy

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the only-two-of-three-wives-agree dept.

0ryan0 writes "Utah lawmakers passed a bill today to force public school teachers to teach that the USA is a republic, not a democracy, because a 'Democracy' would have 'Democrat' in it." The good news must be that all issues of unemployment, finance and social service must be resolved in Utah for their legislature to spend time on this. It must be a utopia!

    Yeah, and Obama wants to put $50B into high speed trains when:

    1) He not only didn't get Bush's spending under control, but increased it.
    2) He knows damn well that the American public has no broad interest in high speed trains (thus it would be Amtrak 2.0, at best).

    This diversion at least doesn't add insult to injury by costing a ton of money Utah doesn't have and should take a committee in the legislature all of about half an hour to push out the appropriate language for a general vote.

    Are you seriously asking for a citation of the ABSENCE of a citation? That's amazingly fucking stupid even by bible-thumper standards.
