I really don't understand your comment to Red. Feeling her children are brilliant doesn't exclude her from thinking all children are special. I can't speak for her, but I certainly know all children are special. But there's a vast difference between "special" and "entitled." Every child needs attention and security and so much more. The parents are the best able to provide their needs, because they are best able to see their child as brilliant and special. Children need this. Parents, who are not messed up, do anything, including die, to give it. When you start putting children into this huge mass of humanity and making government responsible for forcing everyone to meet every child's needs, you get public school. You get WIC. These do not turn out the best results. I'm not saying, "Don't meet their needs," but when you raise a generation to feel entitled, you wind up with way too many people needing help to give it adequately or succesfully.
Red, Thanks for letting me know why I lost my one thumbs up, Red! I felt bad until I read that - lol! Children with parents like you, do great. There's such a distance between those such as yours and so much of the rest of our country's children. It's so sad.
I live in Tennessee where my daughter is a tremendous first grade teacher and a conservative (as am I). Conservatives tend to blame teachers because they're not "successful." Teachers like my daughter know that being "successful" is almost impossible today. Here’s why: 1) The dissolution of the American family. Very few children have intact families. Children have no secure base from which to begin learning. They are full of anxiety and live with neglect. 2) Those families that are intact usually have two working parents. IMO, most mothers have to work today, to pay the extravagant taxes so that single women who choose to, can stay home and be fed by the federal government. Again: anxiety and neglect. 3) The dissolution of Judeo/Christian morality. Sexual abuse is shockingly high. Parents are addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex, romance, etc., etc. 4) Big government - teachers have to spend hours every week creating paperwork to jump through hoops imposed by politicians who want to look like they're addressing the education problem.
Nancy Pelosi is filthy rich. Maybe we could take what she has and pay for part of the danged program. We could give her all the 200 gazillion jobs she promised as a receipt.
And God bless you! My daddy fought in Merrill's Murauders, and he was a Democrat until he saw the anti-American direction they were taking. Thank you for your service.
Well, that's nice. Some thugs beat up a young woman and her boy friend, and you add slander to the mix. If you're playing around, it's detestable. If you have evidence, share it. If not, please get some humanity.
Freddie didn't say, "The felony assault here is just as bad as the felony assault we did." He said, "Felony assault is wrong for either side." He's right. It's wrong for either side - no one should get by with felony assault - and they are the only ones doing it.
Are you part of the mainstream media, Jamal (you referred to it as "us.")? You said Fox wouldn't know news if it fell in their laps - were you thinking of a specific story that was ignored by Fox? This is actually one of the things that has shocked me about the networks - their blatant attempt to ignore major news. They gave a lot of attention to the story of a megalomaniac pres. whose people broke into the DNC to find out what their campaign plans were, considered it really big stuff. But they ignored this story: a national organization receiving tax-payer money that had "gotten out the vote" to elect the sitting president, was involved in voter fraud and, amazingly, in offering to help a man to set up a brothel for 14-year-old girls kidnapped from a foreign country for the purpose of making them sex slaves. Of course, I know, whether you are in the msm or not, you're not in here for a serious conversation. Your post is banter, not substance. However, I will answer your question: I am not afraid of the msm. I'm disgusted with the unprofessional job they do. I stopped watching them years ago, because I can tell a PR piece from a news story.
I went to the link, DTOM, but I didn't find the article?
What you wrote makes no sense, grandma. 2,000 tea partiers + 1 KKK guy All tea partiers around KKK guy make sure everyone knows they not only don't agree with KKK guy but they refuse to even allow his presence at a Tea Party event.
And you get from this that Tea Partiers are KKK racists?
It doesn't take a mathematical genius to realize this doesn't compute.
