“The parents have a right to say that no teacher paid by their money shall rob their children of faith in God and send them back to their home…If we have to give up either religion or education, we should give up education”

At a recent press conference in Dayton, Tennessee William Jennings Bryan, who last ran for President in the 1908 election, announced that he was going to run for President as a Tea-Party Republican in 2012.

Bryan promises to run against the TARP bailout, New York industrialists, government spending, the Federal Reserve, evolution, and in favor of policies that help the “common” man.

Asked why he was running as a Republican instead of as a Democrat – where three times he won that party’s nomination for President in 1896, 1904 and again in 1908, Bryan said: “Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice: It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved.

Sarah Palin, when asked about Bryan’s run, looked on in incomprehension, as if she had never heard of “The Great Commoner”. Mike Huckabee, whose platform closely resembles Bryan’s scoffed when told of the run: “He can’t run for President. He’s been dead for 80 years.”

The Bryan campaign is reportedly working out the details to overcome that one minor issue.

Bryan was unapologetic: “Never be afraid to stand with the minority when the minority is right, for the minority which is right will one day be the majority.”

Bryan is expected to appeal to conservatives from the more rural parts of America.
