The Obama administration is making it easier than usual to mine the depths of liberal cruelty. For all of their endless jactitations of compassion for the less fortunate, the current crop of liberals in charge wasted no time setting about to destroy the futures of disadvantaged minority schoolchildren in Washington, DC.

I guess Obama doesn’t want those lowlifes associating with his daughters.
Buried in the National Tragedy Known as Omnibus™ is specific language exterminating the successful school choice program. The odious omnibus includes a whopping $140 billion for the superb Department of Education. The legislation mandated that no federal funds can be used to continue the DC voucher program beyond 2010 without approval of congress and and the DC City Council.
In other words, our current Oval Office resident just sentenced 1700 children to dangerous and ineffective inner city schools.
Obama and congress did this well aware of the cost effectiveness of the voucher program; the positive effects on the children and their parents and the long term obvious benefit to the community. But we needn’t bother ourselves with that if we are liberals. As long as we make the right noises about our compassion and concern for minorities, we’re cool. Everyone knows the real racists are those conservatives who refuse to understand the importance of preserving a thoroughly dysfunctional status quo.
“But you don’t have to dig very far below the surface to see that liberals, for all of their claims to be the sole arbiters on all matters of compassion in the world are, in fact, extraordinarily cruel. Nary a day goes by when we don’t hear some celebutard like Sean Penn waxing downright lyrical over some murderous thug of a dictator, be it Hugo Chavez or Fidel Castro. Our current president staked out the ever popular pro infanticide position, startling even to Barbara Boxer. And in the left’s most recent display of endless love and compassion for the downtrodden, they choked the life out of a creative, effective and uplifting school choice program thus, dooming innocent children to sadder, if not shorter, lives in gang infested hell holes.
According to Rep Ensign’s web site: during the 2006-2007 school year, more than 6,500 crimes were committed in DC public schools.
Forty five percent of Senators send their children to private schools, almost four times the rate of the general population.
Half of all teenagers in DC public schools are in schools with enough crime incidents to be classified as “persistently dangerous”.
I recommend we label congress, the president and their despicable union cronies “persistently dangerous” as well.”
Excellent article. Thanks for posting it.
