The aim of American Socialism was always to indoctrinate, not to educate.

DITO on that and they have done a wonderful job. They have succeeded where tanks and missiles could not.

No, no, no. Barry and Billy-the-Bomber “obtained” millions from the Annenberg Fund to make vast improvements in the Chicago School System, remember? It’s all cool now - don’t worry! The Chicago schools were SO good, Barry and Michelle-Omarosa did NOT send their own darlings there.

The piece above clearly demonstrates that this guy is the go-between for Obama and Ayers.

No doubt maintaining some level of contact with the man is necessary (if Obama is to not be redued to stuttering idiocy), but Duncan seems to have made the Chicago school system worse!

“John Rogers may play into the ongoing investigation of Gov. Blagoyevich and President-elect Obama’s ties to convicted political fixer Tony Rezko.”

The Kenyan illegal pResident (who says you can’t learn something from leftists) is in for a VERY rough ride. Personally, I call his regime the AMNZIS. The NAZIS started in a very similar fashion with similar MO. The American National Socialist - AMNZI - Party will soon drop all the pretense and we will see the “progressives” try to take over. Unfortunately, they have been handed a pretty good running head start toward their Nationalist/Socialist (bedfellows, in my opinion) agenda by many of the weak-kneed faux republicans in office - administration and house, particularly. Small r intentional...

Today, Barack Obama tapped the head of that school system, Arne Duncan, a fellow Hyde Park resident and basketball playmate of Obama's, to run the Department of Education.

On the news today, I heard that Duncan graduated from Harvard in 1987, and then played pro basketball in Australia for 4 years.

Also, Duncan, who is only 44, was named of the Chicago school system 8 years ago - when he was 36.

Granted, he may be smart, but how does someone go from being a pro basketball player to the head of a major city school system in 11 years?

The man Chicago Mayor Richard Daley originally tapped to reform the schools, Paul Vallas, was thwarted in his efforts by the powerful teachers' union, with the assistance of then-State Sen. Barack Obama and his terrorist buddy, William Ayers.

I was wrong. This is not just the "same ole Washington politics," it's worse!! Obama is importing Chicago style politics into the White House! I wonder if there are ANY honest politicians in the state of IL? I'm not letting the criminals in DC slide. God knows, we've got enough in the federal government.

Does it even matter if you do a good job in government anymore? Does anyone notice if you run a school system into the ground?

This paragraph says so much:

"The man Chicago Mayor Richard Daley originally tapped to reform the schools, Paul Vallas, was thwarted

http://articles.latimes.com/2001/jun/10/news/mn-8818

in his efforts by the powerful teachers' union, with the assistance of then-State Sen. Barack Obama and his terrorist buddy, William Ayers."

Now we know what a community organizer does.
