    Correction - it was your hero Republican Bush who flooded the USA with Hispanics and then tried to boot them out.

    Small wonder why Latinos vote patriotic by voting Democratic party.


    BTW, Bush increased the corporate welfare state.

    McCain is senile.

    The GOP elites and party intellectual have been trying to kill the Republican Party since they thumbed their nose at conservatives and nominated a loose cannon Ike him in 2008.

    The rush end it all continued after 2010 when the same moron party elders renounced conservatives again after the Tea Party made ohm Boehner speaker of the house

    And once more in 2012 with the moderate Mitt Romney.

    We've seen the remedies too many times to count: call names, blame everyone else, veto all proposals, and above all shift national wealth more into the hands of those who already own it.

    Invest in education. Education breeds responsibility and the desire to better oneself. For way too long Education has been the budget whipping boy, always the first to get cut.

    The GOP is in early to mid transformation stage. When it completes and the RINO's are run from the heard, it will be stronger than ever.

    With over 50 TEA Party members in Congress and many governorships, many of the stars of the party are TEA Party.

    You do not know what you're talking about.

    American education is among the best funded in the world.

    It only appears underfunded because the libs running education are incompetent.

    It DID?

    Funny, America's middle class grew under Reagan's supply side policies, as it did under Bush's. It IS Obama's Kenyanesian Economics that has shrunk the middle class.

    Because Obama is racist.

    He hates the white people that can create jobs, so he makes it impossible for them to create jobs.

    What a waste of money.....wow.


    Honestly, I am totally down with a lot of your ideas. Totally against a few too, but that is the nature of all of this. I am actually quite a proponent of your notions on Math and Science. Failing as well, as if someone knows they will never fail, the drive to do better goes out the window.

    History should be about 'history' (go figure) though up here we had Social Studies (not Socialist studies, as you hilarious infer) which does teach the history of Canada, while showing the history of others as context to our own. Our teachings of the US were more about the structure of the Government, how it works (etc), plus a lot of major points in American History (formation, certain Presidents and the Economic structural history).

    As for Health, I disagree with a lot of your notions. Health should be about biology, and the function of the body and how to improve it, while showing the dangers of neglect. Nowhere should social politics enter the fray.

    No. It's pretty obvious to any honest person on the inside of the DemocRAT party that their leaders are turds. Of course, honest people don't become DemocRATS.

    It will be pointed out here that you said "influential", not "honest".

    Nothing else really needs to said about your post.

    OK, what you see in the mirror isn't what others see. When they TELL you what they see, you simply wave them away and return to your mirror. We'll see how well that works for you.

    Well....olders speaker of English as their native language would see "totally down" as "opposed". Just saying, the Mayor had to read that one twice.

    The drive to do better goes right out the window of the "teachers" BMW when all she has to do is baby-sit the herd and move them on, secure in the knowledge that she gets paid regardless.

    Well, the thing is, the history of Canada was impacted far more by the United States than the other way around. Many other nations need to learn US history because of the position the US holds in the world and the influence it wields, whereas the US doesn't much care about Liberia one way of the other now, for example.

    When the Mayor discusses education, he's talking US standards, of course. What other countries do is their affair.

    The Mayor fully recognizes that he himself learned about the liver and the kidneys and nutrition in grade school. That was in the 60's. The primary focus of "health" education in the US today is that there's no orifice that isn't okay to put things in, even hamsters, if that's what someone likes.

    The Mayor finds the teaching of destructive unhealthy values to children to be reprehensible and criminal.

    No. An American. The Mayor's never had any testicles in his mouth. He's not a DemocRAT, he's an American.

    This is the problem with bi-polar parties. The Democrats, at least, are lucky in that their bi-polarism fits right into socialism, which many people like. But the Republican bi-polarism of economic liberalism and social conservatism doesn't fit anything exactly, and the closest is Fascism. And most people, even conservatives, don't care much for Fascists.

    Identify the second term president that GAINED seats in Senate and House.

    Have fun, because there's not one, not even Reagan, who was elected twice with real landslide victories.

    Both McCain and Romney lost for one reason, and only one reason:

    They were too far to the left. Why would a lefturd vote for either when they can see a real socialist promising to destroy the US for the DemocRATS? Many Americans decided that there wasn't any point in voting. Put a real conservative on the ticket, the RATS will lose the election, if it's kept honest.

    Sorry about that. It's early and I haven't had breakfast yet.

    BMW? Considering a new beemer is about 45-50K, and the Average US Teacher salary is about 34K a year and tops out about 56k after 15 years, I would say that is a logical fallacy.

    But you do raise a good point about babysitting the heard. Perhaps taking a note from private industry and adding performance bonuses based on certain benchmarks, with my only caveat to that being the issues of standardized tests and teachers only teaching to that specifically.



    Absolutely. The US an its place in history is monumental and should be required knowledge, but in this day and age a lot of other countries are starting to catch up to the states economically and politically, and Americans in general shouldn't be complacent and let the good times of yesteryear cloud the perception of now.

    Of course. Only offering ideas based on my own historical perceptions.

    I think your mixing up Health class and Sex-Ed (unless they are a combined course then apologies). But to respond, I am confused, as all the other points in your posts reflect on a sense of personal responsibility, and decrying the overbearing weight of the Government, yet on this last issue you've suddenly switched to a desire for the imposing of the weight of certain morality.

    I personally believe that it should be kept via biology. Both in health and sexual education. Inform the kids of what the human body is, how it works, how sexuality works, its benefits and dangers (in equal measure) and leave the social politics of 'who should have sex with who, or not who, or what parts' to the parents.

    Nope. You're completely wrong. You can't have "party primaries" in states with bogus "open primaries". There's absolutely no reason, and that means NOT ONE, for someone who isn't registered to a party to be voting on the candidate that party will choose to be it's nominee.

    You believe Americans despise King Obama, Fascist, Racist and Traitor? Well, let's put it this way, Red Queen Hillary, Rapist Enabler, Cattle Futures Master, (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) of Benghazi, The Never Did Nothing Useful Senator and Suckretary of State, the woman what difference does a blue dress in Benghazi make,... is HATED by the Americans, and all those racist DemocRATs calling King Obama "black" won't be able to play their race card, freeing many black voters from their mandatory chains to the RAT plantation.


    Here's an idea. Just a small notion, mind.

    Do not refer to the Tea Party as the TP. Clearly native Americans will be offended by the association, and there might be other issues, too.

    I think you make a very good point and I do think that education investment should be paramount.

    We are really in a financial crisis. We need to stop sending almost all foreign aid. We need to cut all unnecessary and excessive social programs. Example Obama phones and Head Start. We need to cut subsidies for corn for ethanol ande subsidies for peoples purchase of the Chevy Volt and the Leaf. We need to stop pumping money at the same time.
