We should cease referring to the Democrat Party as 'democratic.'

First of all they're anything but democratic as they're tyranical collators of legislation that would completely fill the houses of Congress. They have used the Constitution as toilet paper and laugh at the illiterate electorate that keeps them thriving in their lifetime careers.

The Republican Party is worse! They abet this evil by never touching on the real problems in America that adversely affect everything in our daily lives as we march along to a future of nothing but pure misery.

This poor excuse for an alternative party has 'reached across the aisle' to their butt buddies far too many times in the name of 'bipartisanship.' They fail to recognize the enemies in our midst. Orrin Hatch, for example, continually referred to his good friend, Teddy Kennedy.

This mess that deliberately unfolded before our eyes on New Year's eve was a carefully orchestrated event that would elevate the stinking Democrats to problem solvers with the moronic excuse for a vice-president as the catalyst.

No elected fool has hit on the real reason so obvious to us who still possess a working brain: emasculate the central socialist government.

A pox on both parties. A legitimate third party comprised of Tea Party types would syphon votes from both parties which would be quite enough to run things.

The disgusting action last night is but a preview of things to come. With the gaggle of stupid Americans who vote the situation will worsen to the extent that the Greeks will be in a better position than the USA.

Because children are not given the grounding by doing the hard stuff of learning, the memorization, the drills, the creation of pattern and discipline, they will never be truly free to THINK on their own. Without the base, the technique, someone will always be manipulating or recreating them according to the latest fad, trend or totalitarian frame of reference that intellectuals usually succumb to.

That's a keeper.

“. The Everetts of the world understood that people who could read and understand are dangerous because they are intellectually equipped to find out things for themselves, thus becoming a threat to already established power elites. “

The Northeastern power elites would be more precise.

I read that the American literacy rate - the ability to read and write well - was 98% in 1890.

I’d guess that reading books, magazines and newspapers was the chief means of entertainment and communication was mostly done through letters, and that accounted for the high literacy.

Beginning at the state levels where conservative governors must unite to stop their states from being plundered by the federal communist politicians and the democrat states who are broke and who should
be all disregarded and cut off from conservative states funds.

The Obama supporters are not STUPID. Just low-information voters. :-)

“A pox on both parties. A legitimate third party comprised of Tea Party types would syphon votes from both parties which would be quite enough to run things.”

BINGO!!! I’ve (and a few others here in Houston) tried for the longest time in the Republicaan party (within) to steer the nonsense from the elitist leadership, and not to much success...Some if us are looked upon as a threat to their status and power, and they are almost as bad as the opposition...

I do not believe we should give up, we just need to clean house and not put up with the cheerleading and other whimsical crap the leadership tries to foist upon us...

Time to stop playing nice and respectful and remind the knuckleheads we send to these elected offices that they are there at OUR behest, and it is time to send as many home as possible...

One in particular told me a few years ago that “You just do not know how things work in D.C. and Austin!!!”

Well, I told him that apparently it ain’t working in any case!!!

Unfortunately that nnumbnut is still sitting in high cotton in D.C. right now...

I’d love to pull the plunger and flush his arse right out of that job...

Don’t ask me what I would love to see happen to democrats at this point...

If you missed it, you are lucky, in a way. When I saw it, it had a very, very negative influence on my outlook.

It was sad, and filled me with anger. The arrogance, sense of entitlement, aggressiveness, vulgarity and open display of mob mentality was disturbing, to say the least.

McGuffey Readers were replaced with textbooks written and edited by leftist loons who believed their mission in life, as does the current socialist administration, was to create a nation of zombies.

This ‘woman’ has very similar counterparts in today’s South Africa where they elect members of the communist party to lead them into the abyss.

She is truly a gross, subhuman example of the gaggle who dote and vote for Bronco Bama!

“Why Americans Are Stupid”

How can that be?

Progressives consider anyone who swallows their line to be brilliant, knowledgeable, intellectual geniuses who understand everything about social justice.

An excellent concise summary on the historical case for how we got here in US education. The bit about the changes in literacy among military enlistees/draftees through three wars was especially enlightening. The author stated the case very well and those in education ought to stand in the judgement box for their choices and acts.

The depth of ignorance of “Obamaphone lady” is profound. That program was actually started in 1985 during Reagan’s term in office.

The education system has been so effective in dumbing people down that they don’t even know who to give proper credit to for benefits or proper condemnation for their plight.

So we have a third-world populace (Obamaphone sycophants)and they elect third-world leaders, Obama himself.

Detroit is our future if we can’t turn back the ignorati and the elites. Comparing us to Greece may be too generous, their population may actually be more informed and educated than ours, they actually show a tendency to want to solve their problems.
Not Detroitistan! We’re content to watch it slide into the sewer, blame the wrong people, and elect every fool that promises more government money to fix our problems.

We’ll get a wheelbarrow of money from the government, but that won’t buy one square of toilet paper, but we’ll elect the same clowns that did that to the dollar.
