11. Let me give YOU an edumacation Mr. Bush
Here is the real problem George

1. There is, encouraged by the right-wing, widespread anti-intellectualism. It's pervasive in our society.

2. You and the right-wing are anti-science and devalue science. You scoff at long established scientific thought

3. You and the right-wing are doing everything you can to destroy free public education, the very thing that made our country great ( at one time)

4. No Child Left Behind - 'nuf said

5. You and your buddies are cutting funding for higher education. Students and their parents from middle income and down are strapped with massive debt if they even manage to fund their education.

6. You and your neo-con buddies are spending money on wars and killing our kids instead of educating them.

So, I'd say you are the problem, Mr. Bush. ( It's all I can do not to type a string of curse words)
