Benjamin, you made some good points about education.  But, the education system that has been created with Federal Interventions has been destroyed for all: blacks, whites, and others regardless of socio-economic status.

Our public edcuation system, as it exists today, has, in the vast majority of cases, dumbed down and brainwashed the entire population of children who are exposed to the system, regardless of race or socio-economic status.

It has likely impacted poor blacks and whites most as the vast majority of poor blacks and whites are single parent homes, or no-parent homes and their caretakers are either on total welfare and live in public housing, and most of the large pockets of these poor, welfare recipients live in large metro areas where Socialist Governments usually prevail.

In days past, even segregated black schools did a good job of educating their youth.  I graduated high school in 1966, and most black kids I knew who graduated from all black schools were well educated in academic skills and had good family values, a work ethic and love of God and Country.  Crime was almost unknown amongst the youth, black or white, and kids killing kids, black or white was literally unheard of.  Even the kids who dropped out of schools at age 16, black or white, already had acquired good enough academic skills and work ethic to go to work and make a life for him or herself or to pursue vocational training and apprenticeships.

While desegregation was a good thing, the way that it was handled and the resulting federal mandates, has consistently and exponentially had a detrimental effect on all kids involved in the Dumbing Down and Brainwashing that took place and is still taking place.

Public Education is a Local and State Responsibility, the Feds have no Right To be Involved Period.  Local schools should and would reflect the communities values, customs, beliefs and traditions, and not the Values, Customs, Beliefs and Traditions of Perverts and Subversives From San Francisco, or other Metro City Socialist and Subversive places such as that.  Putting school back under Local Control would mean a better and more effective education system for all. Lowering the Standards over and over has produced teachers who have teaching certificates and college educations, who do not have basic 6th grade reading, writing and arithmetic skills and cannot teach something they cannot do themselves.

It is time that more Americans become Outraged at Obama's treachery and treasonous acts against this nation and our military.

As a veteran and American Patriot, I do not recongnize Obama as Commander in Chief or POTUS, nor do I recongnize the current U.S. Congress of being representative of me or American's best interests.

We have a government that is Public Enemy #1 and it is time for all Red States To Declare their own Sovereignty and Operate Constitutionally according to the 10th amendment.  If I were still in the Military, I would have a very tough time of honoring any orders being executed by this president.  Obama and his cadre of Czars and other Subversives that he has appointed to head departments and agencies are enemies of the constitution and enemies of this nation.  Every citizen who is eligible to vote needs to get out and register and then vote these scoundrels in congress out of office in 2010 and onward, and then when we get a majority, we need to Roll Back every Policy and Law enacted by this president and current congress, then begin the dismantling of the Socialistic Agencies, Departments, Commissions, and all the laws, regulations, anad taxation associated with it all the way back to LBJ, which is where the modern day Tyranny and Usurpation of the Constitution kicked into Overdrive and under Obama and this Congress has kicked into Hyper-Drive.  Enough of this train wreck which we call Hope and Change.  The only Hope we have is to Elect These Scoundrels out of Office and make sure we never let it go as far as it has, ever again.
It is time for a Citizens Army to rise up in every community in this nation to safegaurd a Future for Our Children. The lawless anarchists in and out of government have been in charge long enough. And, when the ACLU lawyers protest, they need to be Arrested as Terrorists and Subversives which is what they represent.
The Inmates have been in Charge of the Asylums for far too long, and the result is We have the First Un-American U.S. hater ever in our history occupying the White House.

Playing the race card is a last ditch effort for Lilly and for every other liberal democrat.

That's the point that many people miss.  Obama was handpicked by the Liberal Democrat and Media Establishment because of his race. The Liberal Democrats knew that their Power Grab and Headlong Rush into Socialism would be Decried by Decent Americans, and they knew with Obama as President, when their policies were challenged, that they Could Pull Out The Old Race Card as a Last Defense.  What these idiots have not figured out yet, is that nobody is Playing Race or Behaving Like Racists except the Liberal Democrats themselves, who are, in fact, Racist. And, when Libs speak of Racism, they automatically assume that Racism is always White on Black Racism, when, in Fact, most Racism today is Racism by Blacks who are Racist and hate whites.  Listen to Jeremiah Wright and the Black Panthers and Black Muslims, and Louis Farakhan teach and preach their hatred for Whites, and then look at Obama.  Obama sat in Racist Jeremiah Wright's church and listened to Hate Speech for over 40 years and he is good buddies with Farakhan, Black Panthers and Black Muslims. We have a problem with Racism in this country, but it is not White on Black Racism, it is the other way around. But, of course, blacks believe they are justified and Entitled to be Racist, because they are Victims.

You can lay Fort Hood and all the other nonsense that is going on in this country on the laps of both political parties for the past 40 or so years who have put political ambitions and their own aspirations above principles by pandering to every lunatic fringe in the country.  The lunatic fringes protest and lobby, and congressional leaders and presidents have caved to their lunatic demands and all this has lead to the many factions we now have in this country.

Political Correctness and Cultural Diversity was born out of this lunacy as politicians were too gutless to say, "We are all Americans, so stop with all these demands at division."

The Gay Rights movement, for example, began to equate their plight with the Civil Rights Movement.  The Illegal Aliens have the audacity to have demonstrations and burn U.S. Flags while flying Mexican Flags and Demanding Equal Rights before ever doing one thing Legal in the nation to begin with. Instead of Arresting and Deporting these Lunatics who were on our soil illegally and demonstrating for Equal Rights in a land that they disrespect every law we have the moment they step across the border illegally.

And, the government and MSM refuses to even report on all the outrageous crimes these Peace Loving Peasants looking for a better life commit once they come here.

This Cultural Diversity and Politicl Correctness is destroying our nation, and the politicians and MSM and Hollywood keep participating in the cover up of crimes, including this latest Terrorist Attack at Fort Hood, Texas. 

But get this clear, from now on we have a new battle cry as we take this nation back:  "Remember Fort Hood";  This will go along with Remember "The Arkansas Army Recruiting Shooter";  "Remember the DC Beltway Terrorist"; "Remember 9-11"; "Remember Obama's Apology Tour";  "Remember LaRaza";  "Remember the Congressional Black Caucus Tour to Cuba";  "Remember Revolution Muslim, a homegrown terrorist gang in New York City";

We patriots have a lot to remember and we have a lot to fight for. We are fighting for the Preservation and Protection of Our Sacred Nation and it's very sovereignty.  All you hyphenated-Americans can either get with the Program and be Law Abiding and Respectful citizens and thank your sorry butts you live in this great nation, where even you lunatics are free to be lunatics, or pack your sorry butts up and go join the enemy On Their Soil and Get off U.S. Soil. And, I do not care if you are a Homegrown Ingrate or a recent Immigrant, You can get out or shut up and get real and thank God that you live in the greatest country on earth.

We are the United States of America. We have a Culture and we have our own customs, values, beliefs, traditions and language.
Different cultures from around the world have, in the past been very grateful to come here where they were able to be free and to pursue happiness. Our country provides the system of government that makes this possible. That is why we called it "The Melting Pot." When you melt a bunch of different metals together, you have a blend of all the metals and that metal is Americans.  In the past, folks from Italy, England, Ireland, France, and other places risked their lives to come here and were proud to Be Americans, and did not go around with this Cultural Diversity Nonsense with hyphenated names. They were Americans, not Italian-Americans.  Of course, Italians and others had their culture and created neighborhoods that were ethnic, but they still Called Themselves Americans First, and they learned the language, customs, values, traditions and prospered.

We have immigration policies and throughout our history we have allowed people to immigrate to this nation.  Up until the past 40 or so years ago, we pretty much upheld our immigration laws and people who wanted to flee the oppression of their Mother or Father Nations, were willing to do what was necessary to come here legally, and then to follow the process for citizenship which included Learning The Language, Learning some of our nations history, customs, values and traditions and worked toward assimilating to this country's values, traditions, customs, etc. and were given the freedom to pursue happiness, to get a job and pay their own way.

In the past 40 years, our country has been heading down the road to socialism, and with this a new wave of Marxists in this country that has started Labeling Groups as Victims and Started Nonsense such as Cultural Diversity based on race, ethnicity, gender and even sexual preference. These Liberal Ideas and Policies have now Divided the Nation Up Into Diverse Groups and now we have a divisionist nation of folks who Want to Be Asian Americans, African Americans, Italian Americans, Russian Americans.  ALERT:  We just had a Muslim-American of ARAB-Decent who chose his Loyalty to his Lunatic Religion and Beliefs above his Loyalty to the United States of America and to the Constitution He Swore to Defend, and he Placed his lunatic Culturally Diverse Religion and Heritage above his Oath to Defend this nation against all Enemies, foreign and domestic. 

It is time for all Americans to Just be Grateful and Happy as Hell that they are Americans, and if their Loyalties are to Africa, Asia, Russia, Jordon, Ireland, England, Canada, Mexico, etc., Then Go to That Land and Call yourself an African, A Mexican, A Palestinian, or whatever, but if you are going to stay here, Call Yourself An American and Accept the Culture, Traditions, Values, Language and Customs and stop Dividing Yourself Up Into Multi-Lingual, Multi-Cultural groups.  You loons are being duped by the Marxists in charge of this country into the Old Divide and Conquer Mentality, because as long as we are all divided, we have no power. The people in Power Know This, and that is why they seem to Cater to Multi-Culturalism and all these Alphabet Soup Names for Americans. Wake up, Become Americans and Love This Nation and Be Grateful, but if you want to Change It to Your Cultural Liking, then go back to the Culture in the Nation You Think Your Believe in and stop Trying to Change This Country into a Mirror Image of the Third World Dictatorships which Many come from.

Did any of you listen to Obama's speech at Fort Hood when he said that "Fort Hood located in the great state of Texas, which is Part of The Greater Community".  What to hell does he mean by the Greater Community. This Greater Community is the United States of America Mr. Obama. Obama, have you already forgotten that you were Elected President of the United States of America, and not the President of the Greater Community.  I realize that you see yourself as omnipotent and onmniscient and Emperor of the World, but Mr. Obama, we have not yet allowed you to Hand Over Our U.S. Sovereignty to the One World Communist Utopia which you aspire to do and plan to do. And, Mr. Obama, We The People, will never allow you to do this.  You have forgotten in your deluded thinking that We are the United States of America, and the vast Majority of U.S. citizens are proud of that fact. Mr. Obama, you are a complete disgrace to this great nation, and you are going to go down in history as a traitor and hopefully, you, eventually will stand trial for treason.  Your performance to date, is disgraceful, and I would greatly appreciate it if you Would Offer no More Apologies to the World for Our Past. The only apology in order for you Mr. Obama is an Apology To the Citizens of this nation and past generations of great Americans who you have Personally Degraded and Disgraced.

Obama tells us not to "jump to conclusions" when it concerns one of his brethren in the Islamic Jihad. Where was Obama's constraints on "jumping to conclusions" when his racist Professor Buddy Gates was being arrested and Obama Called the Cambridge Police Stupid.

No, Obama, is not about to Jump To Any Conclusions if it exposes the Islamic Terrorists who are in our midsts. And, what about Obama and Napolitano making incendiary remarks about Tea Party Protestors back in April, 2009 when Napolitano Came out Publicly and said that Veterans, Housewives, Grandmothers, Businessmen and women, every day mom and pops were Likely Domestic Terrorists and should be avoided.

Obama and the MSM are Terrorists because they Aid and Abet Terrorism while attacking and demeaning Every Day Citizens in this nation who are Fed Up With Their Policies.

Well, I, for one, am not going to Cow Tow to Political Correctness and I do not Have To Be Diversity Conscious.  If aliens come to this nation legally, they are welcome. If they come to this country illegally, they are not welcome, no more than I would welcome a burglar, rapist, murderer or trespasser into my home. The United States of America is My Home.  And, if aliens come to this country legally, they are welcome, but they are not Welcome to Trash My country's flag, traditions, customs, laws and language. If they come to this country legally, then assimilate to our culture, and not try and force your culture or religion and language down American Citizens Throats.

It is time to End Political Correctness and Cultural Diversity.  We are the United States of America and we Believe in our Customs, Constitution, Values, Traditions, Language and God. And, if you worship an alien God, so be it, but do not force your views on me and do not tell me what I can and cannot display.  The Courts, Legislature or a President cannot stifle my freedoms which I Will Display any way I want.  I will pray to my God, and I will display my flag and if some Alien Religion or Alien Interloper does not like it, then go back to the country of your origin and respect the traditions, culture and values of your native nation, but do not come to the USA and demand preferential treatment.  As for illegals in the Military. This is insane policy and should be abolished immediately. And, If you are a Muslim and You say Your Alliegence is to Allah and Islam above U.S. Military and The United States, then you are a Subversive and should be Court Martialled Immediately and put away at hard labor.

The war is on.  Attention U.S. Congressmen/women.  Your days in power are numbered.  Obama and Pelosi may have promised you their blessings, and promised to send some of the Blackmail Monies in the guise of Stimulus Spending to your districts, but when your districts Vote You Out of Office, which is what is going to happen, those same stimulus monies and pork will be rescinded when we elect fiscal conservatives.

Bankrupting the United States simply to Gain Political Power and to use the Treasury as your Personal Slush Fund is treason, and your treason will not be forgotten.

Evidently, you liberal clowns who support this, are in the deadbeat category and could care less what something costs because you do not work and pay for anything to begin with and have no concept of economics. That is the Welfare and Entitlement mentality that has been nurtured and instilled since the days of LBJ.

But, for those of you who actually work, pay taxes and pay your own way, do you want to continue to see your taxes raised by Liberal Democrats Who Raise Your Taxes in order to Buy More Voting Blocs of Deadbeats.  The National Welfare State system does not work.  Have you all forgotten that the Soviet Union had This Exact Same Model, and they finally Collapsed under the Strain of Financial Ruination.

Utopia only exists in the Minds of Delusional Fools.  Obama, Pelosi, Reid and these other Limo Liberals are nothing more than power hungry fascists who will do and say anything to gain personal power. Well, their personal power from this day forward will be Rapidly Declining. This Death Care Bill is the Final Act of Traitors. And, True Patriots do not take Treason Lightly.  Every Liberal Politician of either party, be on notice. You will be Voted Out Of Power in Every Upcoming Election, except maybe in San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, New York City, and other Hotbeds of Socialism and Corruption, but the Vast Majority of America is not confined to these Urban Dens of Thieves, Subversives and Perverts.

I agree with you Paleocon, but it should go further. First of all, the U.S. Department of Education should be abolished. This department was created by Jimmy Carter as a Payback and Gift to the National Teacher Unions who were primarily responsible for the election of this incompetent socialist.

Under the Obama administration, the U.S. Department now has an annual budge of over 200 billion dollars, and not one cent of that goes to pay a teacher salary.  Under the Obama Education Plan, which was crafted by Bill Ayers, his old communist terrorist buddy back in Chicago, the local and state governments are stripped of their last vestiges of autonomy and local control.  Under the Obama Education Plan, they plan to have Mandatory Attendance Laws passed that start at age 2.  Yes, you heard that right.  Obama wants to implement policy that will Make It Mandatory that Parents Relinquish and Turn Over Their children as early as age 2 to Government Day Care Centers, euphemistically called Early Childhood Learning Centers.  Their aim is to insure that not Even One Child Is Left Behind, who might on the off chance go un-brainwashed, and dumbed down by a public, government run school system.

I have long advocated for the abolishment of the U.S. Department of Education, which would end the Teacher Union's stranglehold on Public Schools.  But, in the interim, I have encouraged parents at every local level in the country, to march on their schools and school boards and Tell Them That They, the Citizens, are taking Charge of their Local Schools, and then the schools would be run in a way that Reflect Local Traditions, Customs, Values, Language, Ethics, Civic Responsibility, etc.

The California Leftists and other Anti-American, Anti-Family communists and assorted perverts have all but destroyed the public education system, and it has a direct correlation to the U.S. Dept. of Education and Teacher Union controls.  If we are to save our nation, we have to take Back Our Children and our Schools and put them under Local Control where they belong.

In this Tuscaloosa News Article, they were speaking of Dropout Rates and the Consequences.  The following were my comments:

"Quote from this article:

"Among the solutions recommended by the guidebook are smaller schools, school choice, and more flexibility in curriculum based more on real-world themes. Greater community and parental involvement in schools is important. So too is stronger discipline in student attendance, behavior and effort."  Right On, this would be a Great First Start.

These are the solutions that need to be addressed.  For about 200 years, public schools were under the domain and control of the communities in which the schools were located, and up until this state and local control was subverted by the U.S. government, the U.S. public education system was in the top 2 or 3 in the world for academic outcomes.

Beginning in the 1960's, the federal government began to intervene in Locally Controlled Schools and it has all been downhill ever since.

Children were ripped from their local communities and transported here and yond in an effort to Create Sameness and supposedly, equality. All suffered from these failed policies and decisions.

By the mid-1970's, after only about 10 years of Federal Intervention (Socialistic Policies), academic outcomes were declining at a rapid pace as the Social Engineers continued to Experiment with our children and the school system that had served this nation so well for over 200 years.  In the 1976 presidential election, the National and State Teacher Unions got out a great deal of support for Jimmy Carter, who in return, started the U.S. Department of Education as a Gift and Payback to the Teacher Unions, and the Decline in Educational Outcomes that was already in rapid decline, thanks to Federal Interventions, declined at an even more rapid pace.  There is a direct correlation between federal interventions and declines in outcomes.

Today, after 40 plus years of Federal Intervention Into State and Local Authority over public education, we have gone from #3 in the world for educational outcomes in public school to #28 in the world, trailing many third world countries, while spending more per capita than any other nation. The spending is not the problem. What the money is being spent on is the problem: too much bureaucracy and bureucrats, standardized tests, regulations, technologies, etc. and not enough spent on smaller schools and more competent teachers.  In some areas, over 60 percent of school employees are non-teachers. Duh????

The current problem in Tuscaloosa Schools is not confined to Tuscaloosa. This is a national problem and it is the most serious National Security Issue we have, and threatens the very existence of this nation. What has occurred in Tuscaloosa is not confined to Tuscaloosa.

The current public school system is the Best Definition that I can find for Failed Socialism and Failed Social Engineering.

Not only are the schools being hampered from teaching basic academic subjects, citizenship, responsibility and respect, and community standards, they are also being mandated to Brainwash our children with National Socialistic Agendas, and many of these National Agendas and Teachings go against Local Community Standards and Beliefs of the Citizens in the communities. The Social Engineering, Brainwashing, and Dumbing Down of America is a Direct Result of Federal Intervention and Socialism gone awry.

It is time that parents, teachers, and community leaders Just Say No to Federal Rules, Laws, and Mandates when these Rules, Laws, and Mandates are clearly Destroying Our Children, Communities and Nation.

So, of course, smaller community schools located in the communities where the children live is one step that should be implemented as soon as is possible.  No elementary or middle school should be any larger than 300 to 400 students with teacher-pupil ratios of 1 to 20, and that school should be required to teach basic academic subjects the old fashioned way by Having Children Do Academic Work with paper and pencils, and get computers and other gadgets out of the classrooms until about grade 8 competencies are achieved. After they achieve 8th grade competencies, then introduce computers and other Tools. Computers and Calculators are Tools, and should not be substituted as Teachers. These Tools Do Not Help The Child's Mind Develop, and in fact, do much more harm than good. Children already are exposed to too much TV, Computers, and Other Electronic Gadgets away from school.  We have so many computers and other gadgets in the schools now, that incompetent and illiterate teachers are able to mask their own incompetencies, because they let the children teach or babysit themselves on computers.  This kind of teaching and learning does not develop the mind, especially the part of the brain that deals with Reason and Logic. This part of the brain is developed by Doing, with Paper and Pencil operations such as Arithmetic, and also our children are losing or not learning basic skills such as writing, especially, cursive writing.  And, with Spell Check, and other Computer Tools, these same children are becoming Poor Spellers, and Also are not learning proper English and appropriate grammer, etc.

In short, we need to return to basics, and we also need to get All Standardized Testing Out of Our Schools. The only tests that need to be used are basic screening devices such as the Brigance Readiness screens to see what the student needs are. Standardized Testing always Lowers Standards, and we have been so busy Standardized Testing for the past 40 years, that now the Standard is so low that some High School Graduation Tests are based on 6th grade skills.  So many students were failing the tests that started out with only 8th grade skills (In Georgia, one of the first states to start Basic Skills Testing for High School Graduation in the 1990's, the test started out at 8th grade level, and so many students in high school were failing, that they re-wrote the test to 7th grade level, with almost as bad results, and finally, they lowered the Standard to 6th grade level as a way of making it look like schools were improving in graduation rates and student learning.) This has been a trend all over the country, and what Tuscaloosa faces today is being faced all over the country, and it is all a Direct Result of the Social Engineering and Directives from the U.S. Department of Education, which is the Enforcement Arm for National Teacher Unions and the government's Socialist Agenda.

The U.S. Department of Education should be abolished. Then that departments 200 billion dollar annual budget this year alone, could be put back where it belongs in the hands of Local Communities to Build Small Community Schools, and More Teachers, and Less Standardized Tests, Fewer Computers for elementary and middle schoolers, and Fewer Administrators and other Educational Bureaucrats.  The U.S. Department of Education is nothing more than an example of another Federal Agency or Department That was instituted ostensibly to Deal with a "perceived" social problem, and like all Agencies or Departments started to deal with "perceived" social problems, the Problems Grew worse in a direct correlation with Size, Expenditures, and Power of the Department.  This has also happened with the other so-called "Great Society" programs that started in the 1960's by Lyndon B. Johnson.  These So Called Great Society Programs have now squandered tens of trillions of dollars on The War on Poverty, and like all other problems that Federal Agencies and Departments are started to deal with, the problem grew much worse. And, besides the fact that the War On Poverty did not Decrease or End Poverty, it also destroyed family values, work ethics, and dignity and self respect, respect for others and respect for resources in those who became dependent of government and thus lost their own independence and ability to take care of one's self. This is a travesty and a great example ow how socialism works. This is what happens when you create a Government Agency or Department to deal with a "perceived" social problem, the problem not only does not improve or go away, the problem always grows worse, as the agency or department becomes it's own Empire, and like all Empires, these agencies and departments seek growth in size, expenditures and power, and in order to justify their Growth, Power, and Expenditures, They Have to Have More "perceived" victims to Serve, to justify their own existence. The U.S. Department of Education and their Mandates are the very reason that Tuscaloosa and every other community in America have the dismal public schools that they now have. And, what do their "experts" suggest?  "Doing More of The Same Things that Do Not Work, For Longer Periods of Time??  They suggest Longer School days, Longer School Weeks, Longer School Years. This is all complete nonsense.  Children already spend too much time away from home in public schools. It is not the time spent in schools that is causing the problems. It is the Agenda and Curriculum that they are being exposed to that is the problem.  More time needs to be spent in Actual Academic Instruction By Teachers who Also Have the Requisite Skills themselves to teach what it is that they should be teaching. Things like Reading, Writing and Arithmetic, Civic Responsibility and Respect for self, others and resources.  We now have public School Teachers who cannot teach elementary arithmetic because, they themselves, cannot do elementary arithmetic. This shows you how far down that We have Been Standardized By Socialism.

To take this country back on the road to prosperity, we have to take our children and schools back, and it needs to Start Now. Tell the Local, State, and Federal Bureaucrats NO, and tell them that You, the Community Are Taking Your children, your schools and your communities back. And, teachers who refuse to Teach according to Community Standards and refuse to teach Old Fashioned Academics, let them go. If their unions threaten law suits, tell them to SUE On Their Own Time, but in the meantime, hire Competent Teachers Who Can Actually Perform the Tasks that they are supposedly teaching. Get all the Political Correctness and other nonsense out of the schools completely. Teachers should be teaching Civic Responsibility and Not Their Own Political Leanings. Children's minds are impressionable, and they should not be brainwashed and propagandized to by Teachers promoting their Own Social or Political Agendas, which is what a vast majority of teachers are doing today. When teachers chastise children because of their parents political beliefs or moral beliefs, they are abusing your children. Emotional, intellectual and psycholgical abuse takes place in schools all over the country everyday by teachers who have an agenda and by teachers promoting the Social Agenda of the U.S. Department of Education and Teacher Unions.  This abuse is worse than physical abuse, because it is creating a nation of dumbed down and brainwashed citizens who grow up without the emotional, psychological and intellectual ability to compete, and these, my friends are the hopeless students who drop out, and even for the ones who do not drop out, they are not getting their educational, academic, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual needs met by these Federally Run and Mandated Schools.

Even if many students graduate, that does not mean that they have learned very much, it only means that they suffered through 12 plus years of psychological, emotional, and intellectual neglect and abuse. And, what is the new plan coming out of the U.S. Department of Education that has now eliminated every vestige of local and state control in public education? The Obama Dept. of Education is in the process of Mandating Pre-Schools down to age 4 and eventually down to age 2.  Do you really want the Federal Government to Yank your toddlers away from home and send them to Government Run Dumbing Down and Brainwashing Institutions in the guise of early childhood education.  No, the real aim is that the Federal Government does not want to Leave Even One Child Behind that is Not Brainwashed and Dumbed Down to grow up to be a good little Socialist Citizen.

This has been the Aim of Socialists for decades, and it all started in earnest with Lydon B. Johnson in the 1960', and has been expanding since.  Jimmy Carter and the U.S. Department of Education? And, now with Obama, this socialist plan to Completely Eradicate All Local and State Control is complete. And the next step in that is the Pre-School Movement to Force Parents to put their toddlers into the arms of the Nanny State.

If you love your children, your community, your liberty, freedom, rights and country, you need to Tell The Government NO, and Take Your Children, Schools, Communities, and Country Back.  It all starts in your own Home Town. All politics is local, and if you cannot take charge of your own town, how in the world do you think that you can influence the Federal Politicians and Bureaucrats who are being Bought and Paid for By Professional Lobbyists, and other Special Interest Groups who could care less what is happening to you, your community and your children?

HOW LONG DOES THE USA HAVE?

This is the most interesting thing I've read in a long time. The sad
thing about it, you can see it coming.

I have always heard about this democracy countdown. It is interesting
to see it in print.. God help us, not that we deserve it.

How Long Do We Have?

About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new
constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at
the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the
Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:

'A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a
permanent form of government.'

'A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters
discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public
treasury.'

'From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who
promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result
that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy,
which is always followed by a dictatorship.'

'The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the
beginning of history, has been about 200 years'.  'During those 200
years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:

1. From bondage to spiritual faith;

2. From spiritual faith to great courage;

3. From courage to liberty;

4. From liberty to abundance;

5. From abundance to complacency;

6. From complacency to apathy;

7. From apathy to dependence;

8. From dependence back into bondage'

Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul ,
Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000
Presidential election:

Number of States won by:
Gore: 19
Bush: 29

Square miles of land won by:
Gor e: 580,000
Bush: 2,427,000

Population of counties won by:
Gore: 127 million
Bush: 143 million

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Gore: 13.2
Bush: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: 'In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won
was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great
country.
Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in
government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government
welfare...' Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between
the 'complacency and apathy' phase of Professor Tyler's definition of
democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already
having reached the 'governmental dependency' phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal
invaders called illegal and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the
USA in fewer than five years.

If you are in favor of this, then delete this message; if you are not,
then Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at
stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

Thanks for reading.


 

Obama is just another Race Hustler.  He may present a 'kinder-gentler' version to the TV cameras, but a Race Hustler all the same.  The difference in this Big Time Race Hustler though, that separates him from those who are out there and have been out there, such as Jesse Jackson, Farakhan, Sharpton, his Pastor, Rev. Wright, and tohers is that OBAMA is trying to Hustle His Way Into The White House.  Americans, black and white, better open their eyes and minds and start Voting with Their Minds and not on Skin color.  Anyother candidate with Obama's equal credentials would not even be in this conversation right now.  He is there because the Race Hustling Media with Media stars such as another Race Hustler, Oprah Winfrey hustling him on that idiotic program of hers.  Wake Up America--Don't vote for this Dangerous Idiot.
