Dept of Education is bs but it doesn't need to be it can be fixed and if fixed properly it will be an asset a huge asset in educating our kids. Here is the problem, right now the dept of education is not addressing the problem they are making it worse.
Thinking that testing and retesting and doing it over again is a solution is just crazy nonsense. Teachers teach for the test. It is garbage.

There is no argument that our kids are doing worse and worse in world testing. My God we are on or near...

I was watching the History channel the other day and it was a show about the black pilots in WW II that protected and escorted our bombers in and out of Germany. They got the reputation as being one of the best or the very best in carrying out that task. The show went on to explain that when they came back into the states they were still treated very badly by both their fellow soldiers and officers and also the American people they were fighting for. It went on to explain that in one camp, I...

I need to vent. Not a big deal I know just a few things that make me nuts. You have a few too.

First, I was in Wegmans to pick up some seedless grapes for the chicken salad I just made. Waiting in line and this lady is helping herself feeding on the grapes, not just from one package but from many, at least a half dozen or so. I continue to watch this woman as she left and came back. So with a stomach turned I did not get my grapes. You should wash...

to say the very least, many people might say flip/flop others would just say stupid.

Who first suggested citizens of the US be required to have health insurance. Well that would be the Heritage
Foundation the very conservative think tank. In the late 1980's they stated that every American should be required to buy health insurance, something now called a mandate.

"I am for people individuals--exactly like auto insurance--having health insurance and being required to have health insurance" said N Gingrich house minority whip. Ten years or so later Romney did that exact same thing in Mass...

Just read a bunch of short Civil War and time appropriate stories most I heard before but these two I did not.

A few months before J W Booth assassinated President Lincoln his older brother Edwin Booth also a famous actor at the time was on a train platform in Jersey City, NJ he was with a bunch of people about to board a train. The crowd approached and suddenly the train jolted rolling a yard or two before stopping. A young boy lost his balance and began falling between the moving train and the platform....

true story, maybe you might find it interesting. Great guy but he had some compulsions. Educated and pretty bright, took no shite from anybody, Joe and his brother two pretty rough dudes and not many people gave them any garbage. Both of them very conservative and educated at the same conservative college. Don't ask me how we became friends but we did and the best of friends. We had coffee every day sometimes twice a day and would fight about politics. If Joe didn't have sex at least once every day for his entire...

God you're dense. Paul is the most conservative candidate on many issues, he is also the most liberal candidate on some issues. Don't you UNDERSTAND this? WTF, don't you know his position is very liberal on some issues. How can you be so misinformed?

Tell me how will the R hawks vote in an Obama/Paul race? Are you this fvcking stupid. Obama's foreign policy is almost identical to the Bush policy. He has his nose everywhere Bush did. In a second term that will change I hope. But, think if...

"Pussyboy" when you don't like the response, first you ask for it I give it and then you call names. That is because you are a political neophyte and you don't even know the platform of your hero. My god kid you are one stupid f\*\*k.

I didn't say the war on drugs was successful I said the conservatives will be very very happy when he discontinues it. That was sarcasm by the way which probably needs to be explained to a person as dumb as a fvckin rock. The true meaning is they will NOT be...

Exactly correct sir, your first paragraph asking why would people vote R. I believe, truly believe in my heart, that three or four specific reasons people vote R. Now naturally not all but I think most. First and foremost taxes, they simply don't want any of their money given or shared in any way or form with other people, so greed basically that is unless they are specifically suckin on a government teat. Then that is okay but only for them.Second, family values or religion. This is such a ridiculous reason because nobody can define either...

I was pretty sure you were a political newbie. Let me educate you son. The extreme right is not a vast minority. As of right now they are controlling the R party. What do you think the tea party is, they are the extreme right kid and they are calling the shots.

Next, the extreme right did not, are you reading, they did not support McCain and many of them were extremely disappointed in their nominee. In fact, some of the really crazies said they would rather vote for Obama than McCain. This is the...
