[...if you are indeed an ex marine...]
Not an “ex marine,” a former active duty Marine. The “ex” stands for Excellent - Ha/Ha!
[...what do you do when you are surrounded, lay down your arms or fight like hell?]
You see, I don’t think we are surrounded, I think we keep going right back into the same battle, expecting a different result! I would create a better battle plan - like destroy the DOE, scrap “no child left un-screwed” and let the school districts actually be “independent” school districts!
When the current Rules of Engagement have you starting without ammo or armor and with a loaded gun only inches from your head - I say let’s not get into that fight. Step back and let’s try a different approach - that is what I am saying.
I think ANY predicament that the left has gotten us into (such as our poor public schools) which has taken 40+ years to destroy, will take better than 60 years to unscrew to a point of “descent” and a full 80 years to actually make it “right!” I don’t have 80 years left, especially once government run healthcare is passed - so we need to start fighting for permanent resolutions!
THAT is where we, the right, have been failing!! We fight to push the left back three whole steps, when the battle took a mile!
What do you expect from the state that gave us Caligula as the Safe School czar?
Holy Crap!!!!! where in the hell have you been hiding??? we need a hell of a lot more people like you, that was an excellent reply...not bad for a jarhead.. :)
