Boortz: The Education Spending Myth
Nealz Nuse ^ | Oct 11, 2010 | Neal Boortz

This bumper sticker was spotted on Peachtree Street in Atlanta on the back of a beat-up SUV sporting a Harvard license frame:

The world will be a better place when our schools have all the money they need and the military has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber.

The principle problem with this bumper sticker - one I suspect is loss on the ignoranus driving the car -- is that national defense is specifically mentioned in the Constitution whereas education is not. But let's not confuse our liberal friends with facts.

Despite the ignorant liberal logic, let's address this idea of our schools "having all the money they need." I'm not a fan of government schools. I am not a fan of the Department of Education. In fact, I will consider the Republicans to have failed our country if they gain control of the Congress and fail to abolish the Department of Education.

Boortz isn't right on everything (abortion, for example), but when he's right (like here) he's really right, IMHO.

Check out a book called The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America by Charlotte Thompson Iserbyte. It's a real eye opener. I think it's available free on line now.

Um, sure, right... better plan on electing enough Republicans to override an Obama veto because just gaining control isn't going to get it done. This seems as out of touch as the Hope and Changers who are all now whining because Obama couldn't do this or that and the Democrats had much bigger majorities than the GOP will gain in their wildest dreams. Setting the bar this high, guarantees disappointment.

Boortz is an anti-birther. Another Soros stooge.

Going to war without a Congressional declaration is also not in the Constitution, nor is ‘privacy’. However, the courts and the President have found workarounds.

Your evident insistence on strict ideological purity will be ultimately self-defeating. Boortz has much to offer to advance conservative ideas and ideals. If he goes off track sometimes, counter his message with better ideas. Better to leave purges, litmus tests and burning of heretics to the leftists.

Boortz is a pro-Obama anti-birther and an incredibly tedious talk show host. He has nothing to offer. Another DIABLO like Rove, Newt and McCain.
