[Logic n' Reason]

A majority of Americans think the federal government poses a threat to rights of Americans, according to a new national poll.

[Logic n' Reason]

"That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."

Not large enough, scary. Take back our schools!!!!

They are being exposed to unfettered Socialism at work.

An endangerment finding by the people.

From a small city close to Knoxville...

Been saying this for awhile.. “I ..... do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.....

The domestic enemy is Government...

[Logic n' Reason]

". . . But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."

Underline and italics mine.

Socialists out of Congress, Islam, illegals, Marxists out of the U.S.!

= good start.

Take back our schools!!!!

Government education is unreformable. It would be better to say: “Take back our children!”

[Leisler]

Just walk away. Let them die. They are bad for your children. Your children’s intellect, foundational skills, ethics, morals and philosophy.

Why go? For a sport team? So kids can be socialized as hyper sexual, anti capitalist, anti patriotic mindless socialist consumer worker drones?

[Logic n' Reason]

It is surely about schools, and the kids, and the partents of the kids.

But it is about so much more.

[rae4palin]

I think we’re winning

But it is about so much more.

Well...Yes, but those problems are more superficial.

Fundamentally, everything good or bad grows from the seeds planted in the morality and the culture of the people. The morality and culture are a product of the education of its children.

Not large enough, scary. Take back our schools!!!!

You are on the right track. Yes, the fact that children since the mid-1800s have been educated in socialist-model government schools has created the problem.

But...”Taking back the schools” isn’t the answer. The government schools must be abolished.

[rbmillerjr]

The Autocratic Socialists (brilliantly displayed by Obama’s Summit arrogance) have opened up a can of worms they’ll never be able to close.

Their day is coming to an end.

[agrarianlady]

I don’t want us to take back our schools.

I want to liberate our children.

“The bigger the government the smaller the citizen.”

[Logic n' Reason]

I think we're winning.

". . . all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."

Question: when will the evils become unsufferable?
And will it then be too late?

[Logic n' Reason]

I want to liberate our children.

Liberate them to what? How?

[agrarianlady]

I would love to choose my child’s school. That’s all.
