Autistic Boy Charged With Making Terrorist Threats Over Stick-Figure Sketch

When will America wake up and start using their brains instead of embracing Zero Tolerance laws that make citizens idiots?

[Philby]

Where is the "Modern Liberal Thinking" component in the story?

That would be the Zero Tolerance.
See, our school systems use Zero Tolerance to teach the student by example not to judge each person individually. (modern Liberalism abhors judgment because it leads to morality based judgment of behaviors like homosexuality and drugs)
This is evident by the schools inability to recognize the difference between a mentally handicapped autistic child and a normal one.

What the public schools want is to create a citizenry of sheeple that have to have elites think and judge for us.

[The Immortal Goon]

What the duce? Zero Tolerance is an extension of Mandatory Minimum Sentencing - a conservative mainstay that's supposed to "tough on crime" and stop "activist judges" and the like.

You can see how the conclusions are quite natural if you operate under the assumption that every stupid thing the government does must have been the fault of Modern Liberals. [[EDIT]] I suppose there is actually a somewhat more natural justification in that it could be a completely retarded extension of the liberal policy of gun control.

[hannigaholic]

DDM defines liberalism as anything he disagrees with. Suddenly everything he posts makes sense when you factor that in.

[Quantum]

I thought conservatives are the ones that get all riled up over terrorist threats? Not every silly situation is the fault of "modern liberal" thinking just because you disagree with the action.

No, just don't judge people based on what groups they are in. Be it gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation

[ninurta]

Ummm.....Dan.....This is a NeoCon idea the Liberals adopted, it's from where you come from, america's "God and Country" people.

[Nattering Nabob]

This thread epitomizes the Sarah Palin/Tea Party wing of the Republican party: a hysterical reaction by people looking for a reason to be hysterical...

[CreamDream]

Yes, zero tolerance and the overall hysteria over terrorism is the fault of liberals. It could in no way be tied to neo-conservative dogma and slow corrosion of civil liberties and liberal values in America. No way.

Am I being passive aggressive enough for a liberal yet?

[kingbee]

Unbelievable.

Yet the evidence shows that Modern Liberalism cannot discriminate a mentally handicapped boy from others.
So, no, your idealism is fraught with failure.

My secondary proof is, as can also be seen in your post, the inability do discriminate a controllable sexual behavior from born gender or ethnicity.

I agree that the thinking used was retarded. You are free to call it "modern liberalism" if you want, the same way I can call the Oklahoma City bomber a "libertarian." However, calling it such won't faze anybody in this thread since 99% of people who are "modern liberal" would disagree, the same way that calling the Oklahoma City bomber libertarian isn't actually a real attack on libertarians.

The futility of my post too modern liberals incapable of objective judgment and discrimination is not lost on me.

[Dagoth Ur]

Is it just me or DDM less coherent lately? ... well for DDM.

[Todd D.]

Here's how this usually plays out:

• DDM finds a news story that he considers dumb.
• He immediately concludes that since it was dumb, it must have been done by "liberals"
• He then formulates a theory trying to piece together how the liberal ideology has justified such a dumb action

It doesn't really matter if the action in question is "liberal", which in this case it really isn't. All that matters is that it was stupid, which under his definition MAKES it liberal.

Yet the evidence shows that Modern Liberalism cannot discriminate a mentally handicapped boy from others.

And what clear difference is there between a mentally handicapped person and a regular person?

My secondary proof is, as can also be seen in your post, the inability do discriminate a controllable sexual behavior from born gender or ethnicity.

So what sexual behavior is uncontrollable?

Gender isn't a black and white issue, it's a very complicated matter. As for ethnicity, you're right I can't discriminate based on that, I see all ethnicities and I see human. Though it's more a matter of not caring what their race is, and less to do with not being able to see it.

After much head shaking in disbelief I can only reply with "Your problem is obvious".

[ninurta]

DDM, what sexual behavior is incontrollable?
