So, ok, this is the campaign?
don’t be paranoid, Vote for Jeb, he’ll make everything seem normal
Just think. If common core had been around when us far right extremists were in school, none of us would be able to read this ignorant tripe let along understand it without help.
Just because you are paranoid does NOT mean that they are not out to get you!
Tinfoil hat conspiracy yesterday leads to reality today. If you took the most unrealistic thought that has ran through your mind, with the most implausible scenario imaginable, and dismissed it as impossible, that idea has already been analyzed and worked up as a plan by some government agency or think tank to use against you. Bet on it.
Common Core, like Communism, and ObamaCare is one of several horrible and destructive policies/movements pushed upon us by progressives. Whether or not there are some who honestly think it a good thing, or there are those who imagine it to be a grand dark conspiracy perpetrated on us by evil space aliens intent on destroying humanity...is irrelevant to the reality that it is just a policy that really really sucks.
The curious and ironic thing is McCarthy has become for the left, the very kind of imagined boogie man and scapegoat he was accused of hunting. The only difference being, McCarthy’s quarry were very real, and very dangerous.
The paranoids are back and this time they are Establishment Republicans using Paranoia to to steal elections away from the Conservative base by catering to Black Paranoia about the Tea party...
You forgot to put “puff piece for Jeb” in brackets.
They are lying about the problems with common core: teachers and administrators tend to reject it once they see it.
Math teachers consider it ignorant. Teachers in general see it as placing huge time and paperwork requirements with absolutely no payoff in the classroom. Nor do they like being told what is significant history/literature/math by those in bureaucracies or ivory towers.
Administrators are forced to lie about the time they actually have to spend with teachers, and they know that these phony evaluations are pulled out their As___ because no one spends that kind of time in a single classroom watching styles, interactions, assignments, testing, attitudes, that each call for in-depth write-ups. The only way to accomplish it is to LIE or to let other administrative areas languish while they spend 24/7 on paperwork only about their disruptive incursions into classrooms.
It’s all a big bad government waste of time.
The reality based community continues to struggle with the reality of the Venona transcripts, apparently.
This just jumped right out at me when I read it. Members of teachers' unions are hardly the types who would be considered supporters of any "far-right" paranoid conspiracy. For the most part, the leftists in the teachers' unions fit Ben Kenobi's description of Mos Eisley "a hive of scum and villainy". They are hardly the people that I would expect to see on the protest line next to me and my FreeRepublic brethren.
Commie Core is a little different in real life than it looks on paper.
Everybody must learn the same things sounds good until you find out what those ‘things’ include.
Anal sex, fisting, and rubbers on a cucumber in kindergarten?
A liberal rewrite of history to make Marxism work?
Whatever a dictator like O’bastard decrees is what will be required.
innocent attempt of common core? Yet so innocently clouded in such secrecy its board decisions are shut out from public view.
Jeb is a communist. And no, it is not conspiracy to be stupid useful idiot like Jeb.
Sadly our education system spoils public educators with extortion powers that rival those of a mere cop. Making common core so urgent is brutal and war mongering, not for education but against any competitors by sheer arrogance.
another example is the Student loan sham. How can we promote a rotten economy and expect student loans to be paid back?... unless this is indeed going to turn into a “default conspiracy” of outright genocide, finding future generations endebted and automatically guilty?
No more paranoid delusions for me!
Jeb Bush in 2016.
Why did I not see this before?
Here’s where the paranoid element of American society expresses itself:
- When it believes that there is “white privilege” allowing race to trump personality, character, and effort.
- When it believes that there is a “patriarchy” oppressing women at every turn, when women can only earn 77 cents on every dollar earned by a man, and when there’s a “war on women.”
- When you believe that there’s a political party dedicated to dirty air and water.
- When you believe that there’s a corporate effort to burn down the world using slow increases in carbon dioxide.
I could go on, but I’m already depressed. They’re the paranoids. And like most paranoids, they think they’re perfectly fine, and we’re the problem.
Where’s the “Barf Alert”?
Anyone cheerleading Communist Core has to be...well....communist.
The author writes as if Catholics, immigrants and Masons were only on the receiving end and are mutually exclusive. They're not.
