• ‘Ex-Patriot’ Games: Vindictive Senators Propose Bill That Would Ban ‘Tax-Dodging’ Facebook Co-Founder From Reentering U.S.

  May 17, 2012 at 11:04pm

  So he exited the U.S. in a perfectly legal fashion, and because of our laws will not have to pay capital gains on this new income. Whats the problem? Legal? Yes. A smart move? Yes! Why should this fellow choose to harm himself fiscally when he doesn’t have to? That isn’t sound thinking or behavior. OH WAIT! It is if you’re a liberal/progressive, and it isn’t YOUR income that is being affected!! To their way of thinking their money is their money, and our money is their money, so this guy is obviously Satan incarnate for taking his money with him, when he becomes an ex-patriot. (He can leave himself, and no one cares, but he darn well better leave his money behind!!) How absurd!!

• Anti-Bullying Crusader Attacks the Bible and Curses Christian Teens During High School Speech

  This has probably been said any number of times in comments, but… Isn’t calling the Christian students names and attacking their belief system bullying them??

• Are You Ready? This Week Is Going to Be Huge in the World… And Here’s Why

  We need to take and make May 1 Capitalist Day. Make it a celebration of personal success born of hard work and ingenuity!
  My husband and I are going out of town to do a little bulk shopping and pick up supplies to fence the land we bought this past winter. We’re becoming (small-scale) farmers seeking a bit more independence :) Wish now I had waited until tomorrow to go buy my chickens, and do my grocery shopping. And you better believe my home schooled kids won’t be getting to skive off their school work tomorrow (Thank goodness for extended family, as opposed to some lame village!!!) I hope MAY 1 is a huge hard working, school going and shopping day for EVERYONE! 1% can go take a long walk off a short pier, we have LIFE to attend to! Praise God for FAMILY, and WIT, and LAND, and EACH OTHER!

  HAPPY PERSONAL SUCCESS DAY!

  You know, getting our collective knickers in a twist over something like this is just giving the bullies what they want. We’re all so hypersensitive!! It also marginalizes the things we SHOULD have twisted knickers over!
  Time to stop being all prickly and to blow off the other side when they are. Of course these little boys meant no harm, and neither did the organizers. Sheesh! There is no sort of person I avoid like the sort that you have to tippy-toe around to be sure you don’t “offend” their poor little sensibilities. Lets get some focus and attend to what is really important!

• ‘Hits a Raw Nerve’: Mother Outraged After Kindergartner Forced to Sit in Class With Poopy Pants

  Sue the teacher! Sue the school! SUE SUE SUE!!!!

  I agree the teacher should be disciplined, but the immediate call for litigation is one of the many reasons we are seeing our liberties crumble. Discipline sensibly! Don’t Sue!

• Police Handcuff 6-Year Old Girl After She Throws ‘Temper Tantrum’ at School

  I feel like I should clarify something here.
  My daughter was a terrifying child. I had one run-in with the school after another–I was called neglectful and it was said that my dau was raising herself because I wouldn’t care for her. My response to this was “Are you kidding? I couldn’t ignore her if I wanted to!” She was always up to something, and I had to keep her at my side continuously, and watch her like a hawk. By the time she was 4 I had learned that the only way to maintain discipline with my daughter was to be prepared to restrain her. Spankings did nothing, removing privileges did nothing. She would take these disciplinary actions and laugh in my face or become even more defiant. By FOUR years old! But I did NOT make excuses for her, and I did not expect others to. We even tried medicating her (against my wishes) because the school threatened action against her dad and I (child protective services, children all removed, etc etc) because we didn’t want to medicate. The meds landed her in the hospital with liver and kidney problems. She didn’t start to calm down until she was 16 years old, and I was, very frankly, shocked that she survived that long, as her antics got ever more bizarre and wild. But I never stopped trying to get her to control herself.

  All that background out there, I still think the school did what was right, calling police both for my dau. and on this child. Children cannot be allowed to run amok, not just for “control” but for their own

  My daughter was removed from her first grade classroom at age six, dragged out between two MP’s, and taken to the principal’s office. She had started out giggling and goofing off, and liked the attention she got from the other students so much, she started acting like an ape, turning over desks, and jumping up and down on a book shelf. If I had done that in the first grade, I would have been taken to the principal’s office by my ear, thoroughly spanked and then sent home for round two! But the teacher in my dau’s classroom was forbidden from handling the children. And, after the teacher, and the principal had no luck getting her to calm down, they had two choices, let the girl run the room, or call the MP’s. They did the right thing. My dau. then went to a special program for delinquents for a month. Youngest student they ever had. Scared her green. So much the better. Of course, I started home schooling the next year for unrelated reasons, but just the same, I still think the school did the right thing.

  We (collectively as a nation) “handcuff” teachers and prevent them from disciplining students and keeping order, then gripe and whine and boo-hoo when order and discipline go out the window and education suffers. Well, we (collectively) have gotten just what we asked for.

  Good job, police. Glad someone is still out there trying to keep order.

  @MoozMom

  Choosing to see things in the best light, rather than seeing dealing with the reality of what it is, is one big reason we’re in the mess we are in currently, as a nation.

  Attempt to cover tracks.
  No sincerity.
  Tears, sure. Her tears remind me a great deal of Tammy Faye.
  But no sincerity.
