• Boy Scouts of America Vote to Allow Gay Members

  May 24, 2013 at 5:37pm

  In reply to nighttrainno9.

  The Boy Scout leadership that voted represent the results of a government funded, mandatory attendance K-12 education system that uses a single source of information called the text book and measures understanding with a standardized multiple choice test to insure the students can repeat the mantras.

  When measured against other countries, our education level earned the rank of number 17 worldwide. We are being represented by the 17th best choice…. because we are accepting being educated to be the 17th best educated.

  The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.” ~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., 1947

  First the leadership votes.
  Then the members vote.
  Guess who decides?

  Building aerodynamic shapes is a next step. Internal projectile construction for impact distribution might be an interesting experiment.

• Piers Morgan Bans Dana Loesch From His Show Following Twitter Spat: ‘Show Some Bloody Respect’

  And of your own free choice you read the article, thought about it and then wrote a comment about how you just chose to waste your time. Then blamed your choice on someone else. Brilliant.

  Thanks Dana for demonstrating the difference between standing for something or doing the Morgan thing, falling for anything.

  I was in London in 1971 during a parade. An Englishman informed me that those soldiers marching behind the Queen’s royal carriage were Gurkhas. He said they were there because the British had never defeated them. I asked where are the United States forces, the British have never defeated us either. The Englishman did what Morgan did, shut the conversation off by leaving.

• Wait Until You See the Questions on Prayer Asked of Lt. Col. Oliver North When Lois Lerner Was at the FEC in the 90s

  In reply to nespirina.

  In the 1950s after a hurricane hit Texas the local population refused federal help. The federal government sued.

  Its Karma all over again.

  The Department of Education has decreased United States education standing to number 17 worldwide, creating customers for federal welfare, food stamps and unemployment with a centralized curriculum using single sources of information… ie.. propaganda.

• Gov’t Official (and Poet) Put on Leave After Benghazi Finally Breaks His Silence — and He’s Making Some Big Charges Against Hillary and Her Team

  Corruption always comes back to education.
  Try lying to someone who knows you are lying.

  Our graduates this spring, like decades of springs before, have very little understanding of our nations history, ethics and that is causing us problems with our representatives now.

  “A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do. We are trying to do a futile thing if we do not know where we came from or what we have been about.”  ~ President Woodrow Wilson, 1913, prior to the segregation of the federal government, armed services and Post Office

  We need to get local control of K-12 education or continue to suffer the uninformed voting for more of our current crop of elected officials. We rank number 17 in education worldwide and are electing representation of equal caliber.

• Report: Obama Administration Apologizes for Another National Security Leak

  May 19, 2013 at 9:25pm

  People tend to do what they have done before…
  Obama said. “Sometimes I wrote off my own failings as just another example of the world trying to keep a black man down. I had a tendency to make excuses for me not doing the right thing.”

  Apologize: is an action statement, not a few carefully chosen words. Actions speak louder than words.

  Doing the same thing over and over, “I am outraged”, “I found out like you, I read it in the newspaper” and expecting different results is insanity.

• Confused by Obama’s Incredibly Brief IRS Statement? Here’s Krauthammer’s Take

  May 16, 2013 at 8:14am

  In reply to whodum.

  Flat tax dismantles the IRS.

  In your state repeal mandatory school attendance laws and that will dismantle the Department of Education.

  Repeal FDR’s NRA (National Recovery Administration) laws and that will defang unions.

  Its a house of cards … pull the right cards.

• Confused by Obama’s Incredibly Brief IRS Statement? Here’s Krauthammer’s Take

  Tender resignation?
  From the temporary job or from the government altogether?
  Starting immediately, as if either resign now or your fired?
  Or resign at your convenience?

  How angry did the president say he was again?
