Liberal Forum

Government Monopoly Schools have been in a crisis since Jimmy Carter was president, yet who does little Miss Marxist attack?Those who want to bring, gasp, private sector competition.They don't want to bring private sector competition to education, they want to obliterate public education altogether. Could it be any more obvious? Republican governors all over this country are cutting public education to the bone. They want to destroy it, so they can turn it over to their corporate buddies.You really think that children will do better learning to a test, alone, online, in front of a computer?How will that help them learn to think for themselves or develop social skills?We'll end up with a whole generation of socially retarded ignorant Bots like you, and that's the idea. The rich can send their kids to the best private schools. And the rest of us will be poor and ignorant, and that's just how the right wing Fascists want it. The ignorant are much easier to control.Yes, profit is evil.At least to a Marxist.Says the Fascist who never met a corporation he wouldn't bend over and grab his ankles for.

Private sector schools do not even outperform public sector schools, according to the results of many independent studies.http://www.fair.org/...x.php?page=2894A moonbat Left media organization? What the heck do they know about schools?I'd also like to see you convince the families making the median national household income (around $49,000) of all the "grand perks" of a private education. You ever heard of vouchers? Never mind that private schools could be operated for one heck of a lot less than the Government Monopoly School system.Edit: How peculiar that you never mention the "Microsoft Windows monopoly" even though it captures a greater share of PC users ( > 90% ) than the percentage of families who send their children into so-called "government monopoly schools." (between 80 and 90%).Here's a hint. 70% of the market isn't a monopoly, and you don't go to jail if you refuse to buy Windows.

A moonbat Left media organization? What the heck do they know about schools?Pretty sure if I had to gamble a million dollars on any argument (government spending, monetary policy, environmental regulations, etc.), I'd go with FAIR. And chances are, I'd come out a lot richer. Since you obviously did not read the article, FAIR cited comprehensive studies (that accounted for variations like race, socioeconomic status, etc.) from the WSJ, Economic Policy Institute, and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, none of which showed any improvements from vouchers. You ever heard of vouchers? Never mind that private schools could be operated for one heck of a lot less than the Government Monopoly School system.Correct. They would cut spending as much as possible, so children could have a 3rd rate education. The last thing I would want is to see the education system turn into a profitable market. Here's a hint. 70% of the market isn't a monopoly, and you don't go to jail if you refuse to buy Windows.Microsoft has been hit with lawsuits over its oligopolistic control across the world, in http://lmgtfy.com/?q...opoly lawsuits'>quite a few continents already.I'd take the words of a SEC spokesperson or a foreign regulatory agency over those of a blowhard like yourself any day.

We were healing quite well on racial issues until a black guy had the nerve to run for president. ROFL A mulatto is not black. As hard as he tries he can not erase the fact that he is a mulatto.

We were healing quite well on racial issues until a black guy who didn't know his place, had the nerve to run for president. ROFL yes. barack obama's divisive race card playing agenda did set race relations back in this country a few decades.

A mulatto is not black. As hard as he tries he can not erase the fact that he is a mulatto. Mulatto? ROFL It's 2013, not 1950. You don't subscribe to the one-drop rule? yes. barack obama's divisive race card playing agenda did set race relations back in this country a few decades. Hogsnot. The racists were always there. His election brought them out of the woodwork.

His election brought them out of the woodwork. the racists were irrelevent until liberals began calling everyone a "racist" simply because they disagreed with obama's political views. once you all started claiming 1/2 the country were "racists", the division went from there.

Parents Sue School For Making Children Religious Guinea Pigs By Teaching Them Yoga A San Diego couple is suing the areas school district for allegedly violating their childrens religious freedom by offering yoga classes for physical education. Stephen and Jennifer Sedlock actually have the option to opt their children out of taking the classes, which the schools superintendent describes as, stretching, moving, breathing. But their lawyer, a part of the conservative National Center for Law and Policy, still believes there is a strong case for why yoga classes are an unconstitutional violation religious freedom:In a press release issued by Escondido-based National Center for Law and Policy, attorney Dean Broyles said the Encinitas yoga program was a breach of public trust that sets a dangerous precedent. This is frankly the clearest case of the state trampling on the religious freedom rights of citizens that I have personally witnessed in my 18 years of practice as a constitutional attorney, Broyles said. The lawsuit, which alleges civil rights violations, was filed in San Diego Superior Court. It ultimately seeks to suspend the yoga program indefinitely and restore traditional physical education to the district. If the couples lawyer thinks that this is the clearest case of the state trampling on (religious) freedoms that he has witnessed, he may want to look a little harder. The First Amendment does not simply protect against legitimate threats to the free exercise of faith, it also forbids the government from endorsing religious views or forcing religion upon others most often non-Christians. So when an Indiana lawmaker proposes requiring the recitation of the Lords Prayer at the beginning of each school day, thats a violation of religious freedom. When a conservative judges places a massive Ten Commandments monument in the middle of the Alabama Judicial Building, thats a violation of religious freedom. When a child does a yoga pose, on the other hand, thats just a good way to stay in shape. Stretching, moving and breathing....an unconstitutional violation of religious freedom. LOL

Rush Limbaugh Says The Left Has Won, Explains Why He's 'Ashamed' Of His CountryA day after Rush Limbaugh stirred up a roiling pot of controversy by saying on his show that he's "ashamed" of America, the conservative radio talk show host clarified his statements on Friday by asserting that he had only been referring to his disappointment with the liberal direction that the country is taking.I realize that many of you tuned in today wanting to hear more of this," Limbaugh said. "You wanted to hear what this is all about. You wanted to hear more about it, and I haven't really discussed it yet and you're probably angry, and I want to tell you why."On Thursday, Limbaugh had drawn criticism from conservatives and liberals alike when he said that he was "ashamed of [his] country" for the "first time" in his life.To be watching all of this, to be treated like this, to have our common sense and intelligence insulted the way it's being insulted? It just makes me ashamed," he said at the time.People on both sides of the aisle demanded that Limbaugh clarify his comments and on Friday, the radio host complied -- explaining that his frustration had been directed at the country's liberal leanings."[T]he left has beaten us," Limbaugh said during his Friday show. "They have created far more low-information, unaware, uneducated people than weve been able to keep up with."He added that liberals now have control of "pop culture, movies, TVs, books [and] music.""We've just been outnumbered," he said.So if Liberals now outnumber Conservatives, it's only because we are stupid, unaware and uneducated. ROFL

I sometimes feel as cynical as you do, but I think the dumbing down and corruption crosses party lines.

No, the Liberal Left needs deception and ignorance to make their agendapalatable to the people. If they just say what they want to do they'll be rejected overwhelmingly

I sometimes feel as cynical as you do, but I think the dumbing down and corruption crosses party lines.well, yeah. the gop and their media controls through fear the same as the dem party and their media. people need to turn theirf**king TVs and gadgets off and deal more directly with each other.

No, the Liberal Left Conservative Right needs deception and ignorance to make their agendapalatable to the people.If they just say what they want to do they'll be rejected overwhelmingly. Fixed.

I sometimes feel as cynical as you do, but I think the dumbing down and corruption crosses party lines. You're referring to Joe Lieberman?

well, yeah. the gop and their media controls through fear the same as the dem party and their media. people need to turn theirf**king TVs and gadgets off and deal more directly with each other.It's ironic that 'smart phones' may be responsible for the dumbing down of America. LOLSome people are actually addicted to their phone.It annoys the crap out of me when you're trying to have a conversation with someone, and they're staring at their phone.Misty, on 25 Feb 2013 - 12:27, said:I sometimes feel as cynical as you do, but I think the dumbing down and corruption crosses party lines.You're referring to Joe Lieberman?LOL, yeah.When I think corrupt and stupid, he's the first one who comes to mind.

O'Reilly's Recent Books Mirror Work Of Deceased AuthorFox News host Bill O'Reilly has published two books -- and is working on a third -- about the deaths of historical figures whose deaths were also written about by a deceased journalist and columnist.According to the conservative site Newsmax, O'Reilly's recent output (along with co-author Martin Dugard) echoes the work of former New York Daily News reporter Jim Bishop:The late Jim Bishop, a veteran newspaperman who once reported for the New York Daily News and later was a syndicated columnist, saw his book "The Day Lincoln Was Shot" become a runaway best-seller in 1955.A series of similar-themed books followed, with Bishop penning "The Day Christ Died" in 1957 and then in 1968 "The Day Kennedy Was Shot" -- a minute-by-minute account of JFK's 1963 shooting in Dallas.O'Reilly has written Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy and is reportedly working on Killing Jesus, which is scheduled for publication in September.After the release of Killing Lincoln, Rae Emerson, the deputy superintendent for Ford's Theater (a National Historic Site) cited "the lack of documentation and the factual errors" in the book as reasons why it would not be sold in the theater's book store or at other gift shops associated with the National Park System. At the time, O'Reilly dismissed the mistakes as "minor" errors.In the notes for Killing Lincoln, O'Reilly cites Bishop's The Day Lincoln Was Shot as a reference for "an hour-by-hour description of April 15, 1865."So Bishop wrote 'The Day Lincoln Was Shot', 'The Day Kennedy Was Shot' and 'The Day Christ Died'.And O'Reilly wrote, 'Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy and is now working on 'Killing Jesus'.I'm sure it's just one big coincidence. LOL

Well, that was weak I'm referring to real deception and lies and all you can do is a weak "you too"
