"This is what happens when liberal academic Boston meets ethnic Boston"

On Monday’s edition of Fox News’ “Outnumbered,” hosts Jedediah Bila and Andrea Tantaros, along with guest Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) discussed the hidden liberal agenda behind snow days.

They were responding to news that a town near Boston, MA had recently opted to eliminate two Jewish holidays and one Christian holiday from the remaining school year instead of extending it into late June. As of Sunday evening, Boston has officially had its snowiest winter ever, resulting in an exorbitant number of snow days.

Bila argued that schools should start earlier instead of eliminating holidays to “avoid angering this religious group or that religious group.”

Duffy argued that there were ulterior motives in scheduling snow days to begin with. “That makes too much sense,” he said. “Don’t let any good crisis go to waste, and if you want to take religion out of the public square, look at Boston and look at all the snow and say, ‘What a great reason now, we can take these religious holidays out of our school system… It’s using the crisis to the liberal benefit.”

1. uga Duffy does STUPID again. what an embarrassment to WI

2. For most of the weekends this past winter there were snow and ice storms in the Northeast.

I wonder if she thinks it is a plot by God to keep us out of church.

3. Isn't God supposed to be responsible for snow?

4. Yes, but God doesn't write the school schedule.

I bet the overwhelming majority of students (and probably their parents) prefer to skip the holidays rather than have to go to school during the best part of the summer.

5. The fuck is this? Did they go to Dumb School?

They must have been the rowing team champions.

6. I think part of their marketing strategy is to be so dumb,

they make their target audience feel smart.

[shenmue]

7. I bet you have a point.

8. You know, I don't think a person can be this dumb

without help. There must be a special academy they where they go to learn it. The members of the
Oklahoma House must all be graduates, too.

9. Honestly, I think she is making a career out of it.

The Oklahoma legislators are just doing whatever they think they need to to get re-elected.

It's all such a sham.

It's days like today that I am glad I live in Mexico, despite all it's problem.s

10. They obviously believe the audience will agree with them.

You don't think they really believe this, do you? Most likely, the whole exchange (and the whole show, for that matter) was scripted.

They'll say whatever they think the audience want to hear, so the audience will stay tuned in and watch the ads. In fact, from their point of view, the dumber and more gullible audience they draw, the better. Dumb, gullible people buy more shit from the advertisers, so Faux Nooz charges more for advertising time, and the perfomers get higher salaries.
