As predicted in yesterday’s article, B. Hussein Obama did indeed tap Arne Duncan, the head of the failed Chicago schools to be our new Secretary of Education. Yes, it is official, the guy who brought us candy flavored condoms for school children and gay high schools is now headed to Washington. This is beyond all levels of comprehension but don’t worry, you’ll never read about any of this in the Treason Times whose goal is to keep you as misinformed as they did about Obama's connections to terrorists and mobsters.
Current Education Secretary Bill Bennett called the Chicago Public schools the worst in the nation and said that parents should consider sending their children to private school. I’ll take it one step further and tell you that if you are placing your children in this type of environment then you are committing child abuse. Even Chicago school teachers seemingly agree as 46% of them have their children in private schools.
Bennett based his comments on this years ACT scores in which half of the cities 64 schools placed in the bottom 1% nationwide. Of course the Democrat controlled school board claimed that it was because of the districts large minority enrollment, most of whom come from low income families and have a limited proficiency of the English language.
Perhaps if the schools were teaching instead of making excuses their results would be a little better. Both Cleveland and Milwaukee schools face the same challenges of poverty, broken homes and limited language proficiency, yet their students perform infinitely better because they have instituted school voucher programs where parents, not unaccountable government bureaucrats, select the schools that best meet the needs of their children.
It appears that as we dig deeper into the Obama cabinet, we are starting to see his true colors show. Even the messiah himself recognizes not only the failure of government schools, but the institutional racism that is so prevent, as he is sending his children to the elitist Sidwell Friends private school. This type of liberal hypocrisy never ceases to amaze me. Imagine what would happen if our elected officials were required to send their children to government schools. Do you think we’d see condoms in the lunch line? Hell no, we’d see Bibles in the classroom and teachers spanking kids who misbehave.
Once again we are seeing proof that liberalism always fails. The reason for this failure is because liberals are measured only on intentions, not on productivity or results. Liberals have an inherent aversion to producing anything, other than rules, regulations and bureaucracy that inhibits results.
The good news is that liberalism has always failed and will always fail; the bad news is that things will get worse before they get better as the general public, brainwashed by the mainstream media, continues to wallow in their nanny state stupor. One day soon they will wake up and realize that their headaches are nothing more than a Democrat induced economic hangover brought about by the Community Reinvestment Act that busted the financial industry and corrupt unions that have brought the Big 3 to their knees.
There is no question we can get through this, but to do so we must get back to our conservative roots of hard work, family values, rugged individualism and self discipline that made our country great. We must all spread the word, be it the word of the Lord or the word of the Constitution, as both are equally important in the salvation of our nation.
The media is spending an inordinate amount of time telling America that the Republican party is dead, but what they overlook is the fact that conservatism is alive and well and moving away from that message is what has hurt the GOP. For anyone who doubts me, catch the Sarah Palin tour next time she is in town. She and other true conservatives such as Bobby Jindal, Mike Pence and Tom Coburn are the future of America.
Truly great leaders bring people to them; they don’t waver on their own positions. As the Republican Party has moved to the center, they have allowed the Democrats to move further left, which is precisely why the GOP has failed. Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, two of the greatest leaders of the conservative movement, didn’t waffle at the behest of the media. Rather, they conveyed their message in a way that we all understood and, Democrat or Republican, couldn’t get behind fast enough.
Gay schools and tasty condoms aren’t the direction that America needs or wants. Coddling illegal aliens and outlawing Christmas doesn’t go over well in small town U.S.A. Undermining our Constitution, banning free speech and the right to defend our loved ones will not be tolerated, yet it is the goal of liberals. Since the mainstream media won’t convey the message, it is up to you and I and our failure to execute in this mission would be tantamount to our forefather’s laying down their arms and surrendering to the British more than two hundred years ago.
