Today I had the opportunity to work for three or so hours at a booth for the riding association that promotes our Minister of Defence at a local fair. We had our literature and maple leaf pins and little Canada flags out which are a hit with the kids, but we also had a few big art books out for people to write a message to the troops which our Minister of Defence would take with him the next time he gets to Afghanistan.
I was doing my part in asking anyone who came over if they wanted to write a note to the troops and what amazed me was that I had so many parents turn to their kids and say “Do you want to right a note to the army in Iraq?”
Each and every time I made it very clear to the children (and parents) that we have no troops in Iraq but that our troops were in Afghanistan in support of a UN sanctioned mission with troops from dozens of other nations and that we were helping them stay safe so little girls and boys could go to school and learn to read and write. I tried to do this as cordially as I could so as not to offend the parents but to help them subtly understand the difference.
I was just amazed at how the moonbat brainwash machine has done it’s job in seeding the concept that Iraq and Afghanistan are one in the same.

Oh my God…
That makes me want to repeatedly smash my head with a cinder block just to get myself down to that level…
The only anecdote that I have which even comes close to that is in a grade 9 French class, where we had to use our travel vocabulary (“I went to Europe; I stayed in a hotel”) to illustrate a “book” of our “travels” to at least five countries. In the middle of working on it in class, one of the “smarter” kids in the class blurted out, in all seriousness,
“What continent is Germany on?”

Shouldn’t be surrprised.
Our last PM didn’t know the difference between Norway & Normandy and Cretin was”confused/bemused” over the whereabouts of Jerusalem.
The MSM is in the advertising sales business . . accuracy is sideline activity. The vast majority of the “journalists” just have a platform to use for their own socialist/liberal mindset, rather than reporting on what is actually happening.
