Anytime you have a ‘abortion is murder’ pastor, a quacktorpractor and a plagiarizing cartoonist organize an event, you can guarantee manipulation runs amuck

The hat may be on tight, but trust me, the screws are loose

Golly, should any of this surprise us?

When 19 Lincoln High School drummers rolled up to Terrace Park on Wednesday, they were surprised to find thousands of protesters, some wearing T-shirts bearing slogans such as “Kill socialism.”

Obviously they have never met the neo-cons version of the Merry Pranksters, Jason, Steve and Allen, without the drugs, free love and peace of course.

“If we don’t stop it here, these young people and our grandchildren and their children are going to end up paying the debt that we’ve got to stop right now,” Folkerts declared, pointing toward the students.

Dan Sailor, who also played in the drum line, was among the choir students who sang “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

 

“He made an example of us, which was uncomfortable,” he said of Folkerts.

Finally FolkArts did something funny, and wasn’t even aware of it.

“I didn’t know that they didn’t know,” Folkerts said Thursday. “It surprises me that the teachers and the school system didn’t do any checking. … My assumption is that the band leaders would have been fully aware of what they were going to.”

Yes, play stupid (which isn’t too hard for you and your ilk). Not everyone clings to FOX News and Stormland TV to find out the lastest circus the neo-cons are putting on in town.

School officials agree the students shouldn’t have been there.

“It was the Lincoln High drum line,” said school district spokeswoman DeeAnn Konrad. “They were representing Lincoln.”

 

That fact put the event in violation of a school district policy governing staff participation in political activities. “School employees shall not engage in partisan political activity on school premises during normal business hours or during a work assignment,” the policy reads.

Wasn’t Konrad the same person who allowed the abortion ad to be printed in the school guide? When is the school district gonna start punishing her or at least start asking her to do her job?

Klinedinst said the drum line’s invitation to play the event came from Pete Hansen, a private percussion teacher who is contracted to work with the Lincoln marching band for part of the year. Hansen’s wife, Sarah, works in Thune’s Sioux Falls office.

Because if you want Neo-cons to show up to an event just mention Ironic Johnny’s name and they will come in throngs.

I know I said I wouldn’t post anymore about this, but this is a satire site, and these guys are so ridiculous, I couldn’t resist. Surprised they didn’t get out the garbage can of mock aborted babies and throw them overboard to?

Dakotawomen does a fine job of reviewing the event
