Arizona state schools Superintendent John Huppenthal admitted this week that he was the person who had been posting controversial anonymous messages on Internet websites, including one that likened poor people to lazy pigs.
For several months, writers at the Democratic Blog for Arizona have suspected that Huppenthal was the commenter that had been posting inflammatory comments at their site and others.
We now know that (Franklin D. Roosevelt) was almost completely responsible for the great depression, a user named Falcon9 wrote last year in the Blog for Arizona comments area. Only in liberal mythology did FDR save the nation.
Worse yet, Roosevelts disastrous economic policies drug down the whole world and directly led to the rise of a no-name hack named Adolph Hitler who was going nowhere until Germanys economy went into the tank.
Falcon9 also wrote that job creators are being taxed to death, while Obama is rewarding the lazy pigs with food stamps (44 million people), air-conditioning, free health care, flat-screen TVs (typical of poor families).
At another Arizona website, Seeing Red AZ, a user named Thucydides opined that it had been Darwin, not Hitler, who named the Germans the master race.
He added: It was Darwin who expressed approval of eliminating both Jews and Africans. Hitler worked to eliminate the Jews. Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood was given the job of eliminating African-Americans. Hitler fed 6 million Jews into the ovens. Sanger has fed 16 million African-Americans into the abortion mills.

They seem to overlook the fact that it mostly depends on whose vagina you popped your head out of. Sure, hard work and intelligence is part of it, but luck and who your parents are is at least 50% (if not more) of it.

(14,047 posts)It is shocking that in Arizona, complete ignorance is not just common among the state's conservative leaders, it is REQUIRED.

(42,700 posts)That's beyond pathetic.
Given that Roosevelt didn't take office until March 4, 1933, and the Great Depression started with the crash of 1929 (and unemployment had skyrocketed by 1932 before FDR was elected) and given that Hitler was named Chancellor before FDR became President, it's pretty clear this idiot couldn't pass a basic history test, which one would think should disqualify him from having any role in the school system, let alone superintendent.
He probably does know that the Great Depression started years before FDR became the president and when Hitler rose to power. He doesn't care. What matters to that jerkface is smearing Democrats. Lies are quicker and easier than having a coherent and intelligent political philosophy.

(61 posts)about history, he is also ignorant about proper English.
"Roosevelt's disastrous economic policies drug down the whole world".....
"Drug down"? Really? Try "dragged down," you idiot.
Okay, maybe I'm being picky here, but why is this person a state school superintendent, when he is totally incompetent regarding history and English?
And I'm betting he's not terribly well versed in science and math, either.

(61 posts)And one of the biggest problems with our educational system is that way too many of the administrators (not to mention those who have conceived of and implemented the "Common Core" standards) are not, and never have been, educators.

(14,101 posts)Blaming 2008 the Depression on Roosevelt is like blaming the bank collapse on Obama. They simply just were not around. FDR took office in 1933, years into the depression. This guy should be teaching, at most, Vacation Bible School.
