Why do any of you people care? Aren’t all of you home schooled - from places like Idaho?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Why would we care if someone who was rabidly pro-abortion became Secretary of Health and Human Services? Aren&#039;t all of us from a state with bans on partial birth abortion and has in place parental consent and mandatory ultrasound laws?

Why would we care if someone who was rabidly anti-gun became the head of the ATF? Aren&#039;t all of us from a state with open carry laws and shall issue conceal carry laws?

Seriously, is that you all you got? Because if you are the beacon for liberal intelligence I&#039;ll start taking bets on where you went to public school. First bet is North Korea. Second is Cuba. Third is Chicago since you seem to fit in with the fuzzy math crowd.

Even lgm (I can&#039;t believe I&#039;m defending lgm even in the slightest) for all his deranged moonbat beliefs espouses to teach real math on his website and speaks out against &lt;a href=&quot;http://michellemalkin.com/2007/11/28/fuzzy-math-a-nationwide-epidemic/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;fuzzy math&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>when i went to catholic school in the height of the baby boom, sister mary vicious controlled a class of 35 to 40 kids from 8a.m to 3p.m. with no trouble at all.  we had no attention deficit disorder, because a pointer across your head focussed your attention.  we likewise had no hyperactive disorders, because you were given an hour broken up into a morning and afternoon recess of 15 minutes and a noon recess of 1/2 hour and we played tag, dodgeball, and a game we called monster tag, where 1 guy was it, and everyone he touched was a helper, but only he could tag you out. so soon you had 10 - 15 guys fighting to hold onto the remaining non tagged players, while the guy who was it ran around and tagged these captives.  lots of damaged clothes and bloody bodies, but the more hyperactive you were, the longer you generally lasted, and thus dispensed that boyish energy.</description>

Nope, but understand efficiency is not a priority in India, so they would see no reason to teach you quicker ;-)</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;On December 16th, 2008 at 12:19 pm, madchef said:
Screw public schools, either home school or send them to private schools where the leftist, socialist agenda can’t poison your child’s mind.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
There it is. We are in our present state of affairs precisely because we allowed the left to execute their Marxist agenda within all our public institutions. (Who woulda thunk it? McCarthy was actually correct.)
Wage war on all the Bill Ayers Marxists until they are expunged from our society, and start with the schools. If they won’t reform, defund them.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Bill Ayers understands that the path to Communist Revolution is through education.  When Marxists say, &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://michellemalkin.com/2008/11/20/eharmony-forced-to-offer-same-sex-dating-services/comment-page-2/#comment-551732&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;If we can&#039;t have you, we&#039;ll get your kids&lt;/a&gt;&quot;, they aren&#039;t talking about physically taking your kids, they are talking about &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;mentally&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; taking your kids, via public school brainwashing.

It is the &quot;demoralization&quot; process, which was already &quot;overfulfilled&quot; in 1985.  It&#039;s only gotten worse over the last 23 years (another generation).

Our economy has been destablized (phase 2), and brought to the point of crisis (phase 3), just in time to have influenced an election and bring a lifelong Marxist to the doorstep of the Presidency of the United States. 

I believe with every fiber in my being that Obama wants to take the USA to phase 4: &lt;a href=&quot;http://itooktheredpill.wordpress.com/2008/11/25/america-in-crisis-are-we-preparing-for-martial-law-and-communist-%e2%80%9cnormalization%e2%80%9d/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Communist Normalization&lt;/a&gt;.

But it&#039;s not a done deal just yet.  Obama is not a natural born citizen, due to the undisputed fact that both he and his father were British subjects at the time of his birth.  

Every member of Congress has sworn an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. 

Every member of Congress should be requiring Obama to prove that he qualifies as a &quot;natural born citizen&quot;.  Of course, most won&#039;t.  But it only takes one member in each house to challenge the vote.

And if Congress does certify the vote, then that may be the point at which the Supreme Court steps in.  The SCOTUS has denied stays of elections, but they have not denied certiorari in ANY of the three cases that are now PENDING at the court.

Yes, Senator Joe McCarthy was right.  There are Marxists at very high levels of all three branches of our government.  

&lt;blockquote&gt;Drawing on primary sources—including never-before-published government records and FBI files, as well as recent research gleaned from Soviet archives and intercepted transmissions between Moscow spymasters and their agents in the United States—Evans presents irrefutable evidence of a relentless Communist drive to penetrate our government, influence its policies, and steal its secrets. Most shocking of all, he shows that U.S. officials supposedly guarding against this danger not only let it happen but actively covered up the penetration. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Blacklisted-History-Senator-McCarthy-Americas/dp/140008105X&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;All of this was precisely as Joe McCarthy contended&lt;/a&gt;.

		<description>I went to public schools, graduated in the top 10% of my class, and then had to pay for several remedial classes to get into college. I graduated with a 3.9 (I *still* don&#039;t get Philosophy....) so I am assuming that something is indeed wrong in the public school system.

I am very much against a Federal education system because I think it is absolutely impossible to think that Manhattan children will benefit from the same programs that Iowa children wold.</description>
