CSCOPE: Exposing the Nation’s Most Controversial Public School Curriculum System

Mar. 7, 2013 7:50pm Tiffany Gabbay

In February, Texas announced that the state, along with the Texas Education Service Center Curriculum (TESCCC,) would enact major changes to the controversial curriculum management system dubbed CSCOPE. The system received a litany of complaints from faculty members and parents alike concerning its lack of transparency (parents were allegedly not permitted to review lesson-plans), lack of oversight from the State Board of Education, and for allegedly imposing oppressive working conditions for faculty members.

CSCOPE was created so that teachers could frame their year around teaching points required by the state. Lessons, which are written by CSCOPE staff and current and former teachers, can be updated and delivered online, making it more cost-effective than standard textbooks.

To note just how off-color some of the CSCOPE curriculum is, consider that the Texas CSCOPE Review, an independent watchdog group, uncovered an out-of-date, optional CSCOPE lesson-plan on terrorism — “World History Unit 12 Lesson 07″ — which allegedly likens the Boston Tea Party to “an act of terrorism.”

The system also recently asked students to design a flag for a new socialist nation.

To glean greater insight, Glenn Beck invited special guests David Barton and Pat Gray, along with teachers Mary Bowen, Stan Hartzler and Texas State Sen. Dan Patrick to discuss what is truly going on within their state’s education system.

Barton explained that CSCOPE is referred to as “instructional material” and not “curriculum,” therefore is not subject to regulation by the State Board of Education. The historian also brought in artifacts of Texas public school curriculum to showcase just how different it is today and to mark, year-by-year, the increasing application of political correctness in lesson plans.

Using a chart, Barton documented and mapped out core CSCOPE material, which eliminates national values, Americanism or rather, American exceptionalism, the study of federalism and majority rule (the core of our constitution) along with patriotic symbols like the Liberty Bell. Christopher Columbus, Rosh Hashanah and Christmas are all relegated to the dustbin along with American military history. Equality and a belief in justice is replaced by “fairness” and instruction on American propaganda and imperialism.

Disturbingly, Beck and Barton noted that the worst is yet to come. Showcasing a lesson plan for grades 1-3, Barton revealed CSCOPE’s list of “heroes,” which comprises a dozen secular progressives and only three conservatives or political moderates.

According to a previous report from TheBlaze, teachers complained that they were expected to deliver the curriculum verbatim and only on days allotted by the CSCOPE lesson plan. Even if students were unable to absorb the lesson, teachers were allegedly directed to progress to the next lesson regardless. TheBlaze also reported that teachers were “asked to sign a contract that would prevent them from revealing what was in the CSCOPE lessons or face civil and criminal penalties.”

The controversial program’s website states that CSCOPE is a comprehensive online curriculum management system developed and owned by the Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative (TESCCC), a consortium composed of the 20 ESCs in the state.” It goes on to explain that the CSCOPE system provides curriculum framework for grades kindergarten through 12 across a broad range of subject areas.

The online description might raise red flags for some when it states that the CSCOPE content is regularly updated based on, among other criteria, “feedback collected through various stakeholder groups in the collaborative, including individual teacher submissions through the CSCOPE website and the School District Advisory Committee, comprised of district representatives from all participating regions of the state.”

What, or rather who, comprises CSCOPE’s collaborative and stakeholder groups? That question and a myriad others are what critics hope to get to the bottom of.

But while the groups to which CSCOPE appears relatively beholden may sound alarms for critics, the actual researchers CSCOPE credits with providing the basis for its curriculum seem to be formidable industry veterans by and large. Those educators include Robert Marzano, Fenwick English, John Crain, Heidi Hayes Jacobs, Grant Wiggins, Jay McTighe, H. Lynn Erickson, and James Barufaldi.

CSCOPE has been adopted by some 75 percent of Texas schools and the aim was to implement a national adoption of the management system. However, according to some education blogs, Common Core Standards sought to purchase CSCOP as a national curriculum standard. It is by far and away, one of the more hotly contested topics in the current education debate and much mystery still remains as to CSCOPE’s core tenets.

Beck noted that secular progressivism, further, the notion of communal life and collectivism, is at the system’s core. Other points of contention concerning CSCOPE curriculum include lesson-plans positing that Christopher Columbus was an “eco-warrior” and, when referring to the famed explorer’s journal, all references to God and Christendom were removed.

Students are also posed with hypothetical scenarios concerning historical figures and have allegedly been asked to take a position on population growth. Students were even subject to a lesson framed around the idea that “Christianity was a cult,” Beck noted.

CSCOPE’s director, Wade Labay has defended his curriculum and maintained that controversy has stemmed from misconceptions.” For instance, he said that framing the Boston Tea Party as an act of terrorism was merely one teacher’s way to engage students in the day’s lesson.

State Sen. Patrick, who chairs the Senate Education Committee, has led the CSCOPE hearings, bringing the controversial system to public light. He pushed CSCOPE to allow parents to view curriculum and to lift gag-orders on teachers. Patrick explained his experience bringing CSCOPE to task and revealed what he believes is in store for his state.

Hartzler, who taught math for nearly four decades, retired early because of CSCOPE. He said that he was written nearly a dozen times for not following the system’s lesson plan and maintains that CSCOPE is dumbing-down American students. He said he tried his best to follow the lesson plans, but simply could not.

Bowen, who is currently forced to use CSCOPE in her school district, feels that schools are now more like factories that send children out into the real world from an assembly-line that has not even given them the basics. She spoke to Beck despite the fact that CSCOPE had set up disciplinary consequences for doing so.

Bowen said that the lessons were mediocre at best, often “riddled with errors” and that “tests were invalid.”

“There’s tremendous coercion. It’s an incredibly oppressive environment.” She added that there have been teachers who were fired for speaking out to the school board.

Bowen also explained that teachers spend “one out of every five” days testing students, and that those tests provide data for the government’s use.

When asked what they tell parents who are inquisitive about their child’s lesson-plans, Hartzler said he violated his gag-order “right away.” He said he showed the parents why the students were struggling and where they should go from that point on.

Beck said that President Obama will look to move forward with implementing CSCOPE or such systems within a short time-frame. The panel said concerned Americans should send letters to the Attorney General and that emergency legislation should be enacted to help teachers push back.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

  As stated herein, this system does not need modified, it needs scraped in its entirety, and those that designed and are leading its implementation at the very least need fired and may well need to be jailed. Absolutely unbelievable. If the Gablers were still alive in Texas, they would be calling out the National Guard to have the derelicts and degenerates that designed this program physically removed.
  The Gablers were gentle but firmly committed in the war against text book and history revisionism, but I’m not sure they could have held their peace here, and I would not blame them one bit. This designed surgical operation by the progressive elitists is nothing short of criminality and treason.

  This kind of propaganda has been taught in the Texas school system when Iwas a kid.
  
  For example, just one bit of propaganda decried that the pilgrims cheated the indians out of the land they bought from them, even though it is common knowledge that the indians not only did not own the land they sold they didn’t live on it either, and one tribe sold the land six different times to different pilgrim groups.
  
  It’s all part of a hate America campaign that’s been going on for so many years much of it is so embeded in the system any kid going to school nowadays is getting programmed to hate himself and white people in general, their history, values, and accomplishments……. not educated in factual matters.
  
  Even as a kid I wouldn’t buy what they were trying to get me to believe, and it wasn’t until I was in high school that I began to read history on my own that I was able to learn th truth.
  
  Many of the colleges and universities are just as bad. It’s amazing that this kind of thing is allowed to continue.
  
  What is even more surprising is that people spewing this hatred are still walking around on two feet.

  We currently enjoy 30 GOP governors who have varying degrees of control in their respective state senates. Schools should be a priority for every conservative in those states. Our schools are the key to getting this country back on the right track. The left has been working for decades on the schools insinuating it’s agenda and has enjoyed some success. It’s time to reverse that trend.

  I am very much in favor of homeschooling having been a h.s. parent myself with our 3 children. However, with young married couples and/or single moms it is very difficult these days for them to accomplish this when they have to work just to support their families. But I believe that those who want to leave the public schools could easily start up co-ops among their friends or family and take turns with various subjects or alternate days to be responsible for teaching/ doing field trips, etc. This is a great time for all patriots to group together to bring about a New and better America.
  
  When I began homeschooling, at the encouragement of a friend, I felt totally inadequate. With support from friends who have attempted and succeeded at this, a parent can accomplish teaching their children easily. There are many great homeschool resources and supportive help out there today. Be brave and you will find it’s actually quite nice to spend more time with your children.

  MuffytheTuffy: It’s NOT just TX Schools. This ‘Dumbing Down’ and Incorrect/Lies of AMERICAN History has been going on for approx. 40 plus years, It’s gotten WORST over time – which was the plan by The Communist Party USA – currently it’s the United Nations and their plan which is called The UN Agenda 21 PLAN – a BLUEPRINT of DESTRUCTION of AMERICA. In Louisiana, RINO Gov. Bobby Jindal has approved a RUSSIA/CHINA MODEL of EDUCATION. I spoke to Many teachers in their 40′s, and 50′s that RESEARCHED and found the PROOF. EVERY STATE in America is having these problems with this type of Education. ONLY Tea Party Members (that I know of – probably others too) are FIGHTING BACK for they are AWAKE and know the CORRECT HISTORY. My own Mom was a teacher and she noticed the Dumbing Down taking place in 1978 (at a Catholic School)with School Text books changing in the direction of Dumbing Down, in Louisiana. In New York CITY, it started approx. 50 to 60 years ago, why do you think they have so many SOCIALIST, MARXIST thinking Democrats wanting Communism, etc.? Go to these Webites to help you find MORE info: http://www.meetup.com/thepeoplellc/
  and GOOGLE: ‘Tom DeWeese Agenda 21″ and SEARCH on YouTube the same title of words. Only then this may help you and others KNOW the TRUTH and understand all. GOD Bless America

  The fact that they ban parents from reviewing the materies and are swearing teachers to secrecy should be enough to warn parents that the dictatorship in Washington has everything to hide.
  
  HOMESCHOOL your kids if you can, but if not, at least teach them real history. Relegate C-SCOPE or any of its other facets (By whichever name it is called in your state) to the trashcan.

  It was the liberal leanings in schools that bothered my husband and I and that’s why we decided to homeschool here in Ga. Everywhere we looked progressives were pushing their agenda to either dumb down American kids or brainwash them into being liberal progressives. It’s happening at every level of school..from pre-K – college. My son now goes to public high school because we gave him a great conservative American start to life. We taught and instilled morals and values, and taught him to question things if they didn’t make sense, and to fight in what you believe in. Now we have to trust that he will be true to his values. So far so good! Still home schooling the youngest 2 though! LOL

  You must be quite a bit younger than I am. The only ‘progressive’ stuff I remember from school (here in TEXAS) was when Earth Day first came about. That’s it. Now I’ve returned after spending my entire adult life being moved around the country, and I see my old high school with the phrase, “IB WORLD SCHOOL” proudly emblazoned on the building next to it’s name. After doing my research, I’ve discovered the Globalist tentacles are in deep. I just found out there was a rep from Al Jazeera welcomed into one of our local schools, under the guise of a foreign language class for advanced students. The most pointed propaganda is directed at our best & brightest kids. Between the IB (International Baccalaureate), CSCOPE and The World Affairs Council…dear God, we’ve got alot of work to do.
  
  Look up your local school district. See if they have the IB programming. My ISD had it under a program they called The EDGE. You’ll have to dig. That’s where the World Affairs Council fits in. (you’ll be surprised to find one–or two– offices in your area. I was.) You’ll have a more difficult time finding out about CSCOPE…or bho’s COMMON CORE.
  
  Get to work! Alert your neighbors EVEN IF THEY DON’T HAVE KIDS–THEY STILL HAVE A VOTE! (sheesh! *I* don’t have kids, but *I* care about this issue because this is how our country is being rotted from the inside.) NOW GET BUSY BEFORE EVERY AMERICAN CHILD BECOMES NOTHING BUT A GOOD LITTLE GLOBAL CITIZE

  This is a prime example of America going to Hell in a hand basket on the express train – politically correct, indoctrinating garbage. This is Obama and his progressive elitist buddies changing America into a country you will not recognize. The insane asylum that is being constructed by the monstrous ego maniacs that are also implementing this madness needs to be taken down brick by brick and the architects need to be jailed with the keys thrown away.
  Need a revolution? That is an understatement. The people who have designed and are attempting to implement this pure garbage know quite well that Texas educational system and “curriculum” serve as the model for many other states, including use of Texas textbooks which virtually strip the books of anything associated with traditional American values and hero’s.
  this program needs more than gutted. It needs uprooted and discarded, and those who designed it need fired and jailed – literally. This is communism and progressivism in high gear and needs stopped dead in its tracks.
  Better wake up people, like yesterday. It is time for the Second American Revolution. Not opinion, fact.

  CORRECTION: We need a 3rd Continental Congress. The first one took place in Philadelphia on September 5, 1774 and the second took place on May 10, 1775. How do I know this? I homeschool. We’re studying the Revolutionary War all year. What an eye opener.

  umm…not to be mean but first, learn to spell and learn some history. We have already had a 2nd Continental Congress, they wrote the Declaration of Indpendence and were the ones in power during the Revolutionary War. The 1st Continental Congress was responsible for the original letters of redress to King George and sending of Franklin to Parliament to lobby for the repel of the Stamp Act and previous taxes and grievances.
  If you were talking about a 2nd Constitutional Convention…that would be BAD Ray….the Progressives could literally REMAKE the entire country at one time by taking over the convention. They would only need a simple majority because in a Constitutional Convention, the 50 States would all send reps to the convention, propose amendments, and if they were passed, they become immediate. No ratification necessary and no Congress or President involved. So, they could literal propose the same thing that happened in the 1st Constitutional Convention, which is the complete throwing out of the current constitution – at that time the Articles of Confederation….
  
  BAD..really BAD….

  You would be surprised at how many teachers are with you already…especially in the math and science fields. there might be differences here and there but even some of the most liberal teachers want to be left alone to teach how they see fit and think all this State and Fed mandated curriculum is just crap…
  
  the problem is the “new” teachers…those right out of college and their credential programs…they have been “programmed” to think this central planning garbage is how education is supposed to work… the old, 50 or 60 year old, hippie liberal teacher might spout off commie crap in their class but they are still “anti-establishment” minded enough to want to be left alone by the State and Fed and are often the loudest voices AGAINST centrally planned testing and education….
  
  in math and science, where logic is power and truth is absolute, you not only get many more conservatives but realists and pragmatists as well…the idealist tends to teach K-5 much more than grades 6-12 where you have to specialize in one discipline. and again, even if they are lefties and commies at heart, it is hard to teach math or science from a communist point of view…well, Bio has the enviro-nazi elements..but Chem, Physics, ESS, and the like are kinda not open to interpretation…
  
  but I get your meaning…I have seen and heard openly marxist statements from many in the English and History dept. at all schools I have taught at…

  My wife and I are right in the middle of this crap right now.
  
  I was at the HS this morning asking why they were teaching my daughter the Five Pillars of Islam, with no mention of the Ten Commandments, God or Jesus. I was met with no answers to my questions other than its in the curriculum and we have to teach it. Public school Free Lunch Slave administrators & teachers protecting their pay checks are traitors not only to their students but this country. As parents we need to let our voices be heard loud and clear that this kind of trash teaching will not be accepted. Teach them about other cultures & religions but don’t place them above this country and the Christian values this country was founded upon.

  where you at? north of big D here…
  
  and, if you check many similar posts regarding the stories on education here, you will find that I am one of those many on here are trying to paint as traitors…over generalizations are dangerous no matter who they are directed at….
  
  as an educator by choice, scientist by degree and God given aptitude, Constitutionalist by belief… I take great offense to the teacher bashing….yes 80% might self identify as left of center, but my father would as well.. a Kennedy Democrat his whole life…social conservative, even fiscally conservative on 90% of issues outside of education…his career for 35 years…there are MANY like him across this nation…
  
  the problem is that his generation is gone or going….the “new” crop of teachers replacing them, those with less than 5 years on the job…are TRUE believers in the Leary, Mann, Progressive ideals of centrally planned education and government…they are the goose-stepping marxists that want to “re-educate” everyone with their “transformed” history, English, science, and math.
  
  even the liberal hippie teacher of old was “anti-establishment” and anti-central planning….they might have been a closet commie or openly…but they wanted NOTHING to do with centrally planned government run education.
  
  it is the commie bureaucrats that see this new guard as their army and chance to take over completely and forever…

What a joke. Teachers Unions are all against national standardized testing but now they want to have a standardized curriculum because it takes the local schools off the hook for responsibility of what they teach. Cscope is a travesty and is extreme left idealism. How do I know? I’m a retired high school teacher who wrote curriculum and have seen the trash in Cscope. The entire curriculum is anti-american and anti-white.

  Right there with you ERAM…
  dad was a math teacher for 35 years…most of it outside the union…at the end he took to being a rep simply because of all the crap they were trying to force teachers to do…
  i have been high school math and science for 14 years now…hated being in CA and forced to pay union dues even if I didn’t want too….voted NO on everything the union wanted just out of spite….
  
  people always say “teachers” are the problem..but they should start checking themselves and saying “teacher unions”….teachers might lean left as a whole but unions are Marxist to the core.. in all professions….
  auto workers, construction, longshoremen,…good blue collar hard working men and women that either don’t pay attention or don’t have the time or will to fight the union bosses that claim to speak for everyone but maybe only have 55% backing….
  
  there is a reason that the mafia bosses of the 20-40′s decided to go straight and took over the unions in the 50-60′s….more money, more power, less risk, and they were LEGITIMATE to a degree and now the politicians could OPENLY side with them and now seem like crooks themselves…but protectors of the working class….
  
  even the socialist progressive FDR knew that government workers should not be allowed to unionize… he didn’t want to share the power….

Progressives have had control of the public school monopoly system for years and they’ve indoctrinated a generation maybe two into their sick twisted ideology. All public schools the Dept.of education and the NEA are a cancer on our society and must be abolished. The fact that they’re all unconstitutional is beside the point this country hasn’t followed the constitution for roughly a century.

  Keatonc333- What is the option where I no longer fund other people’s kid’s education?
  Please list the options where I pay for my own kids and no one else’s. THAT is definition of “another option” and what makes public education a monopoly. It’s the only place my tax dollars go.
  
  Cause I’ve been paying into the “system” since 1989 when I first inherited my parent’s house and used NONE of the cash I was paying in, even with my own kids whom I homeschool.
  
  Double paying for education,especially crappy education with no say of curriculum, is not “another option”.

  Keaton, you ever heard of a “government” monopoly. Tell me something, in a free market (that’s a volutaryist market) how could a monopoly even form? The reason the public gov’t run school system is a monopoly, is because the gov’t is backed up by force. That means they use violence and the threat of violence to achieve their goals. That’s the problem. Not only is the public school system a monopoly, but government has monopoly on something else–and that’s a monopoly on violence.
  
  Looks like you were indoctrinated to the core in a public school, taught to be a good little proper subject of the state–and one who condones violence. You’re a hypocrit if you have ever attended an anti-war “peace, love, and free sex” hippy rally especially when you condone an increasingly violent state, as long as that violence is directed towards people you hate.

  1) i know you are a troll and only can type what is approved by the Ministry of Information and Thought Control but please…sometimes you should just shut up…
  
  2) a corporate monopoly does not have to be just one choice…if there is collusion and price fixing then, as many always try and say about the oil companies, there can be a monopoly on an industry. hence, Teddy Roosevelt becoming the “trust buster” at the turn of the century and railing against the steel, oil, and banking industries here in the USA.
  
  3) a government monopoly results when the government, either directly or indirectly restricts the choices of the citizens to only those “approved” entities either through the threat of force, finances, or regulations. in the realm of education, the government does all three. the DoEd controls 8.5% of the budget of every school district in America that did not opt-out when the DoEd was created (very few did because they saw free money). the DoEd controls the attendance of students through the Compulsory Education Acts of all States by 1918, upheld by the SCOTUS in 1925, forcing all students to be in a school until age 16 nationally. Not doing so can result it child confiscation and parent confinement and fine. When the DoEd was forced, they took over enforcement from the States of compulsory attendance, all States are required to verify to the DoEd student attendance in order to receive funding.

  @Keaton
  so recap…the DoEd controls funding to the States and requires parents, through the State laws, to have their children involved in a school curriculum of some type, up until age 16. Homeschooling, private, and charter is permitted but even if you don’t have children, your taxes are diverted to the public schools ONLY…note, some charter schools are public and receive funds, thus are beholden to the DoEd.
  last…since 1978, the DoEd has been increasingly intrusive, through acts of Congress and Presidential EO, into what and how the State’s teach, even to the point of creating “national standards” that all States are required to meet or surpass and prove, through “standardized testing” that they are meeting and surpassing those standards.
  
  so another plain English recap for you..since you are a public school product and thus might have a hard time understanding math, logic, and English on a 9th grade or higher level..(average college student enters college with 9th grade ability and leaves with 11th grade ability, even after 4 years of college – 17 years of schooling)
  DoEd controls the States which control the districts which control the schools through threat of punishment and removal of funding, parents with threat of criminal action, and teachers through threat of firing if they do not perform up to the “national standards”… that is a MONOPOLY on Education…

Also, private school is expensive and most folks can’t afford the tuition. That leaves the public school system as their only choice and that makes it a monopoly to those folks.

Imagine taking a test for a professional license, and it was riddled with errors? How much money would the testing center colluding with regulatory authorities in private networks stand to gain? The education is designed to fail, high school is not good enough, you need a degree? That’s not good enough, you need continuing education? Its money laundering?

We should firmly turn towards home schooling where we can polish our kids before they are presented to the public for them to make judgement on, or are we going to continue to watch this experiment where we let competing agendas either cancel out common sense, or gravitate away from the true nature of the US Constitution, or let complete morans educate our children?

The Boston Tea Party was not a terrorist event. It was like 500,000 people applying for food stamps that did not need them, so the King would get the message, don’t tread on us?

How much food is thrown in the trash, because people get food stamps that don’t need them? How much tea was thrown in the harbor?

Now I’ve returned after spending my entire adult life being moved around the country, I see my old high school with the phrase, “IB WORLD SCHOOL” proudly emblazoned on the building next to it’s name. After doing my research, I’ve discovered the Globalist tentacles are in deep. I just found out there was a rep from Al Jazeera welcomed into one of our local schools, under the guise of a foreign language class for advanced students (IB). The most pointed propaganda is directed at our best & brightest kids. Between the IB (International Baccalaureate), CSCOPE and The World Affairs Council…dear God, we’ve got alot of work to do.

Arrgg!!! Are we still not getting it yet?

What did Ms Obama say about us having to move to another place and change our history? Yep! When this president said he wanted to fundamentally transform America what did we think he really meant?

When the multiculture is sitting there in the classrooms across America and the teachers are still for the most part Anglos and even the children with the exception of our newcomers, how do you think they are going to FEEL about teaching how Whites dominated everything in the US but oh by the way your welcome?

They (the leftist teachers) are not COMFORTABLE teaching American (REAL) history because that history involves White accomplishments,victories, inventions and the like….teaching these things is like sticking a hot poker in the eye of the newcomers sooooo they must water it down first without causing too much alarm and then removing it altogether. This is how we get the Great Poccahantas and so on.

once history is revised and this is taught, it will take a generation to set the record straight about who did what in this country. Its all about making everyone FEEL all INCLUSIVE. Well I’m sorry that some were not part of the great American experience but its not too late to join the party…or maybe it is, but I digress, First we have to stop with all this racial divisions in schools for the sake of making everyones race FEEL comfortable with being in this country.

  Well, they traded a lot more than just slaves. Molasses, Rum and a variety of other products. It wasn’t just slaves that were transported.

  The conservatives like Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Paul Ryan and others are on their way……The Gay White-house cannot fight this constitutional America…….Hitler did a lot of brain washing too, but people got over it…..Hope the president has enjoyed his Golfing trips cause he will have screwed over not only the conservative base, but also all of those Welfare recipients as well…He is making a lot of enemies, like North Korea etc……

This is hitler type pure indoctrination! We better get ourselve together, take our kids out of this rot gut schools and get ready to water the tree of Liberty. Has anyone noticed how the destruction of our country has sped up immensly since the election? There are so many irons in the fire you can’t keep up with all the ways and things they are distroying and going after. Get it together fast people cause at this rate we won’t have private internet usage anymore and no social networking at all. He only allows it now because it keeps us busy playing games while they nail in the final nails in America’s coffin. Are any of the rest of you having trouble getting people to listen to you? Have your family and friends turned against you too? I would sure like to know that I am not alone.

  We can ony get it together as far as our families and groups of friends (if they have not drank the Koolaid to) goes.
  
  Face it! They have the schools, the media, the science dept, the unions, the big mouths in DC all on their side and they will succeed in obliterating America and the Anglo race. We will one day awake to find we are strangers in our own country. I already feel that way now! I feel as if the other races see me as someone who must have oppressed some indigenous people somewhere or someone in my family tree did.
  
  One day you will awake and some professor in some liberal university will be saying it is racist for Whites to breed. Remember us Whites are already being tarred with the privilage brush!

  When I watched this show on CSCOPE, it reminded me of the “Batman” movie where Jim Carrey played the Riddler. The Riddler devised a contraption that was capable of stealing the minds of individuals. This CSCOPE thing is no different than that device, but this is not a movie. It’s more than “Chilling”, it’s diabolically criminal and anyone that promotes said system, should be hung in the town square. The people that are responsible for CSCOPE, believe that no future children in this Great Country, should be allowed to attain anything great, at anytime in their life. It is both shameful and selfish of anyone that believes CSCOPE is a good thing.

  Time2 and Leftist Clowns- I do wish you would stop insulting libertarians. Without libertarians you won’t win one more election. Even if you don’t agree with Ron Paul you have to admit he has good ideas. The ideas meaning he wants to follow the constitution. That’s not exactly radical and that’s the thing you two seem to oppose so I’m thoroughly confused. Like I said before here, I’m a conservative libertarian, a little of both. Even so, libertarians have many things right such as small government so I do not understand where you guys start going off on the man since he has great ideas. Not the least of which is taking away wasteful spending programs.

  Yeah, if you saw SON_OF_RJJINGADSDEN, that is my son. He had been lurking on and off for a while and finally signed up. He has a full time job while going to college full time. So, he does not have too much time to post. I hope that he has more time in the near future. Thank God that his courses for the most part are not taught by the typical left wing indoctrination nut. Would hate to see him turn into a zombie like KEATONC333.

Will say hi, but if you happen to available when he is on tell him yourself. He’ll remember you. I played him that link to the song Time too.

Also, believe me, I do not in any way try to occupy space in your head. That is simply your delusion. Furthermore, stop tossing accusations when I am chatting with a friend and answering his questions. Yeah, how about it?

Sometimes you are tolerable, unlike tonight. LOL, sometimes you are like such a little school kid where I can say the slightest thing, and you come across as though I had just yelled “made you look!” My other reference was that TIME mentioned you above, and here you zero in. Seriously, chill out, and remove the Ron Paul tin cap before you give yourself a stroke.
