Oh, well, to hear all the elite talking, the only reason Columbus came here was so he could give the Indians smallpox. Funniest thing, little was understood about the spread of disease at that time, but we JUST KNOW he came here for that reason and that reason only!

Chavez just wants us to give him money again, which I imagine we will do. There sure are some flat learning curves among our so-called leaders.

I expected the UN to do nothing. The really sad thing is I also expected US to do nothing. All we seem to do anymore is yammer on and on about how many more years it's likely to be before N Kor actually becomes a nuclear power. One day, we're gonna wake up with a nuke in our laps. Then we'll want to know how that could happen. Whats the point in being all-powerful, if you never do anything?

My husb and I are mere high school graduates (mid 1960's). We feel we were educated rather thoroughly. Our children (now 33 and 30) received relatively decent educations. Nowadays, I would home-school in a heartbeat. The state can no longer afford to have anyone being influenced by Christianity or any type of moral code (sarcasm).

Though I might be earning some enemies among you, I have to tell it as I see it. Our children are being indoctrinated with socialistic ideas and global climate change claptrap (not to mention an immoral code). That applies to kindergartners, elementary school children, middle school kids, high school students, and ESPECIALLY those in our colleges and universities. The indoctrination should begin as soon as possible, and continue as long as possible. Once a student gets into college, they are told that a BS isn't enough. That way you are still in their clutches. The only problem with this system (from their point of view) is that since many "students" remain students far into adulthood, with no one graduating and actually getting a JOB (Gasp) the taxpayer pool is shrinking exponentially.

Aha, the plot thickens. Now we know why the admin wanted to change long established procedure for doing the census. Acorn was involved in crooked activities during the election, and nothing was done. They now will have additional time to hone the skills in order to make sure the census reflects the "proper" mix of minorities, and also to finagle a way to get the illegal aliens onto our voter rolls. Totally outraged.
