Santorum Slams Obama‘s ’Hubris‘ and ’Snobbery’ On Education

Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum slammed President Barack Obama’s education goals while speaking at a forum at St. Anselm’s New Hampshire Institute of Politics Saturday.
The former Pennsylvania senator lambasted the Obama Administration, describing that he was “outraged” when hearing President Obama say that he believes “every child in America should go to college.”
“The hubris of this president to think that he knows what’s best for you. I have seven kids, maybe they’ll all go to college. But if one of my kids wants to go and be an auto mechanic, good for him, that’s a good paying job, using your hands, using your mind,” said Santorum Saturday.
“This is the kind of snobbery that we see from those that think they know how to run our lives. Rise up America, defend your own freedoms.”
CNN video of Santorum’s heated remarks:
CBS News notes that the statement is part of a ongoing message that Santorum has made about inequality. At the event in Manchester, CBS reports that Santorum noted he wanted to created an economy that helps those left behind:
“We create private sector jobs by helping the private sector be successful…putting someone directly in someone’s pocket is not going to create manufacturing jobs. That isn’t going to make the local steel manufacturer or fabricator more competitive,” Santorum said in response to a question from National Journal Editor-in-Chief Ron Fournier.
CNN reports that Santorum believes the federal government should have a “very limited” role in education, advocating for “flexible and personalized approaches to education for each child to best maximize their potential.”

I am with you on this. I suggest we change the educational system to add college to the grade, middle and high school requirements. Since it is mandatory, college drop outs will be a thing of the past. Since we still want to make decissions for them, I suggest we raise the age limit for them to become an adult to 26, like they did in Obummer-anti-constitutional care. The only positive to this is that it would also raise the voting age.
You libs are so short sighted, Bless your heart… idiot

Posted on January 8, 2012 at 1:44pmHeads up about “the rich people”; liberals on average have higher salaries than conservatives. They also give less to charity.
Also I’ve watched CNN a few times; and unfortunately still see it every now and then. No news outlet is unbiased – however I’ll say this: CNN is not near the middle on the least biased list. Fox is 50/50; half the shows are biased one way, half the other. Fox is more so to the right; but it’s got quite a bit of a left to. In numbers I’d say CNN is about 60% to the left, and Fox is 45% to the right. Most of the bias on either channel is unintentional to some degree, but they are both biased.

Posted on January 8, 2012 at 1:50pmWhat kind of response was that? Certainly not an issue related one. Santorum is correct, in my opinion, about education. A university degree is not a right and definitely not for everyone. That we have an elite class of people who have overrun our government and permanently fixed themselves in positions whereby they are able to exert power over us wrongfully and where they line their pockets with “insider trading” type deals is unquestionable. That you would respond with a blanket statement about one party and a news station is outrageously funny. It’s “the pot calling the kettle black”… There’s no winner in wrongdoing.

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 8:12pmCompanies are at fault with this insistence on college as well. When I started at Bell Canada I got in with a high-school diploma, by the time I retired 27 years later one can only get on with a minimum 2 years college for the same job description. The job is the same except the test equipment is far superior and resolves troubleshooting issues with much less knowledge of how the system works. The lie in this is that any college course qualifies, even those not associated with the work you are going to do. Honestly any high-school grad would still easily handle doing the same job.

Read it and SHARE IT with EVERYONE!
http://www.nolanchart.com/article9242-the-real-dirt-on-slick-rick-santorum.html
Excerpt from the article’s conclusion:
It seems that Rick Santorum is truly a mix of values. There are those values of which he speaks – and then there are those of which he lives. Facts can be pesky things. Let’s just hope that the people of America care enough to learn them before casting another vote for Slick Rick, aka “Scrappy Doo” Santorum. His own behaviors prove him to be a corrupt, big-government puppet whose strings are pulled by the highest bidder. He has demonstrated a pattern of dishonesty and oppressive aggression when granted power.
The truth speaks for itself. This is the corrupt politician that Ron Paul rightly accuses of Betrayal – “a serial hypocrite who can’t be trusted.”

Ron Paul’s earmarks aside, Santorum‘s level of corruption and hypocrisy is like a supernova next to Ron Paul’s sputtering ember.

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 8:47pmSo just because he is against unilateral declarations of war he is a leftist? Decisions on war should be left up to Congress. That is how our Constitution is written. Ron Paul would fully support military action against any country as long as it was approved by Congress. How difficult is that to understand?

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 8:48pmLMAO! Just like a typical anti-Paul sheep. Always using the druggie card. It’s really quite pathetic. Didn’t you know that?

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 8:51pmSay some dude is pissed because he thinks I’ve been banging his girlfriend. So he wants to come and start some shi-. Which scenario is more likely to end up with me being punched in the nose?
A) All of my mates are miles away doing…whatever, or
B) I am surrounded by all my best mates
A is status quo, and B is Ron Paul.

Posted on January 8, 2012 at 3:57amActually I suppose the true status quo would involve sending my buddies to huck some grenades into the dude’s house. But that would get me arrested… yet for some reason it’s perfectly okay for our President to act in the same way?
