Young dissident stands out from his high school crowd

[struggle4progress]

Tyler Cullis is proud to live in a nation that allows criticism of its government, but is ashamed of the things he says he has to criticize the government about.

At an age at which most of his peers are primarily concerned with college and job applications, dating and proms, the 17-year-old is busy composing letters to the editor critical of U.S. foreign policy and debating his classmates about the merits of capitalism.

In a nation the president says is fighting "evildoers," Cullis spreads the word that Americans are sometimes the evildoers. At a time when Americans are told that criticizing the war aids this country's enemies, Cullis believes it would be unpatriotic not to speak out.

"This country was founded on the idea of dissent," Cullis said after a recent debate over globalization with classmates at Sheehan High School, where he is a senior. "If we're going to be patriotic by doing what our government says, I think that's completely wrong. ... Governments are just tools of the powerful."

1. Someone Has Failed Him

We are raising a generation of misfits. His teachers and his parents have failed this young man. Hopefully when he gets to Jesus Normal College, he will have come to his senses. ;-)

2. I agree that someone has failed the poor boy and

his parents should quash those anti-American sentiments of his. A good old belt to the butt would be the right way to, er, rear him.

Doesn't this boy realize that this country was founded by Fathers who were muthas when it came to living by the good book. "One nation under God and you're either with us or against us, Amen".

As any true Christian who knows his Bible, it is written in the Book of Skippy, Chapter 12, verses 36-24-36: "Let he that is without kidneys casteth the first stone"

In the Book of Neuteronomy, Chapter 11, verses 7-11: And Lot's wife dared to lookee back and she turnethed into salt. And thereupon shortly thereafter Lot turnethed into a giant french frie.

Mea culpa, Mea culpa, Mea Maxima culpa.

3. When Lot Looked Back

The update of the story is that Lot was turned into a giant freedom fry.

Jesus loves you, even if I don't.
