Incredible.

This poor creature has drowned in the grape Kool-Aid. Glub, glub, GLUB!

We near the Canadian border are accustomed to watching the Canadians swoosh right down to our (USA) hospitals and doctors for their serious health problem treatments.

Surely that will stop when our health care begins to look just like their health care.

Obviously - now - that you were one of the good teachers and that may well be an understatement. Thanks for your service.

As for the future, be sure to check out the CORE & APUSH movements.

Kids who meet discipline for the first time, as in a school environment, are oftentimes the real problem, as I understand it.

Would you care to quote which definition of 'corporate punishment' to which you refer? Any form of touching a child as a form of discipline seems to qualify for the attacks to begin.

As to the school discipline.. I do not think you have visited any public schools lately. Further, perhaps you feel comfortable judging the present situation in terms of your experience, one that perhaps is not entirely representative of the present situations faced by today's teachers in today's schools. I have several relatives and associates who are, themselves, in the Ed. business or have spouses in the Ed. business and it is from that source plus the reports on schools in the national media from which I have drawn my opinion.

Recently appointed DemProg judges can be a huge problem for those of us who value reason and logic and prefer some solid structure for raising children.
Homes: almost totally lack discipline. The STATE will persecute parents attempting to correct their children.

Schools: Discipline is almost totally lacking, teachers and children are being attacked and administrators fear STATE retribution and law suits by DemProg lawyers which will be decided upon by DemProg judges.

Children are publicly indoctrinated to believe there is no 'right', there is no 'wrong' as the DemProg adults will spew psychobabble/junk science findings to justify complete dissolution of any traditional value held dear by older Americans and those who fought and died to make this nation the greatest and freest the world has ever seen or perhaps will ever see.

Western civilization, especially here in the USA is being choked to death by PC BS. We adults need to start setting things straight-- yup, s-t-r-a-i-g-h-t.

As Denish D'Souza http://www.dineshdsouza.com/ has said, the most despicable part of the jihad movement is that they use our 'goodness' to destroy us. Same can be said for those so-called Americans who are 24/7 attacking every established American traditional value. We need to wise up and act out. [/rant]

That is asking a 'hella' lot of those types one bumps into from time to time on the streets and other public places of this country. I seriously doubt they have trained their thinking and reasoning sk**ls to accomplish that reflection to which you refer.

Then there's the 'our guy' right or wrong attitude.

Harry Reid is the poster child for obstructionism. Period.

And, this from Loki: "Obama has already seen 230 of his Federal Judge nominees rubberstamped by the Reid controlled Senate, mostly activists who think they are smarter than the Founders. There are 34 more awaiting confirmation. As far as his other nominees go, anyone he picks for AG is going to be controversial. How can you trust someone who supported and protected anyone as dishonest as Holder?"

- should scare the hell out of any freedom-loving American. Since the newest liberal judges tend to lust for legislative power and interpret- or ignore law- to accomplish party-defined judgments, we should all consider we're besieged and threatened.

So let us imagine for a moment that the congress is made up of honorable men and women who take their oaths seriously and proceed to impeach and imprison this fraud of a president.

How, I wonder will that play out with the modern (public school-educated) masses?

An excellent thread.

And this quoted comment brings into sharp focus that Barack HUSSEIN Obama is but a tool of a much bigger, more sinister establishment.

It's his enablers we need to hunt down and hold responsible.
for this most terrible of all presidencies.

The OP stimulated a state of wonderment for me; I wonder what sort of person could possibly hear a news report and actually believe that the reporter has accepted the- in this instance- quote from some 'historian' as a t***h?
Further, I am all astonishment one would so firmly glom onto the report of 'a historian' when modern education is so questionable at best.
Our modern historians are at least as suspect as the 97% of those *scientists* who believe (operative word) in G****l W*****g.

:roll:

Yes it is just an extension of what you say.

I am still disquieted a bit by the knowledge that to have things like this get so damned far from reasonable, the great majority was silent and too complacent. The minority that brought on this evolution-to-the-rear is a minority and had the majority not been so docile, things would be different.

Folks hereabouts are quite ready to 'step up' from what I have been hearing, anyhow.

Yes, there's that but there's also this: My child's bike was stolen from our front porch. First question the responding policeman asked me, "Was it in plain sight?'

My brother's boat was stolen from his camp lawn. First question the trooper asked him, "Was it in plain sight?"

So, the general attitude of some is that if you have it, you should hide it.

Things in the USA weren't always like that were they? Once we had genuine expectation of the Constitutionally-guaranteed right to private property and safety in our persons.

Pretty much goes for our precious children, it seems. If we have them, we'd better keep them hidden from public view or else the enabled, feral, predators are expected to just take them whenever they feel like it.

[quote=clarkwv]I guess from you answer you do now know what Republican passed bill address a living wage, after you stated one had been passed by the House, or did you just dream it up[/quote


If we had a Quantum Obstinacy prize & medal, I think you would be a top contender.

I would like to know 1) WTH you think the term 'living wage' means to anyone in the USA, and 2) Why do you think anyone in this free country owes anyone else something called a 'living wage'.

Waiting.

Yes...an emphatic YES!

Not destroy, necessarily, but we should insist out taxes pay for a system similar to that of the past- the system that allowed this country to flourish and assume its leadership in the world.

We were once a moral nation with honorable intentions and deeds. We have slipped into the easy, 'everything-goes' behavioral sewer that promises nothing but regression and loss.

Good question.

When? I'd say when the kids ask.

Who? Parents- period. BUT, you see, that's assuming the kiddles have real parents, not crackheads; not prostitute single mummies with children from numerous sperm donors- many of whom they haven't the slightest recollection.

The problem has been nourished by failing morality and government encouragement for at least three generations.

The problem is HUGE!
