  1. I went to high school in Kansas more than 20 years ago. The standards were far lower than in Europe. And if anyone has been obstructionists against growth, is exactly GOP. Regarding hatred, RWers & GOP has spewed out hatred & vitriole against everything liberal the past 30 years. A good education system is a part of the COMMONS. That means that the better education people get, the better it is for the society at large.

  2. Cont. 1 Several states have in practice minority rule. Michigan, Illinois and Florida to metion a few. Last election in Michigan, there was far more voting for Democrats that GOP. Yet GOP won. So there is your minority rule in practice just the way you want it....

  3. p2. I can hear you roar of joy when Emauenl Rahm wanted to close down 54 public schools because he'd rather prioritize sports stadiusm for other people's tax money instead. Is it the responisbility of a single mom with three jobs in order to be brokes responsibility to send her kids to private schoosl she cannot afford because you thin k that those kids do not deserve the same priveliges you take for granted?

  4. But to say that education is not a human right is to say that education is not for the common good

  5. Cont.2 A democracy is majority rule. Though as a republic (in practice democracy. The Roman republic even when it was an empire had elections. So did the inventors of European democracy, the Athenians. What Platon warned about was that the rights of the minority would be suppressed. Hell! That has been your modus operandi ever since you started using slaves because you wanted to make a profit from the forced labor of other human beings.

  6. Funny! Never thought some card carrying Republican had a problem with democracy when you had your own fuhrer on the throne, imposing BIG GOVERNMENT, unconstitutional, Orwellian "Patrit Act". I guess youonly have a problem with MAJORITY rule when you're not in power, and would prefer a minority rule as long as you are in power.

  7. We all know WHY the educational system fails. It's the way GOP wants it to... They want dumb, uneducated workers they can stuff with RW ideological BS, religion, thinking that education is bad, and that the Founding Fathers hated education equally. Education, a GOOD education is a human right. And I do not think most parents are qualified to teach science if they are religious & have never opened a science book, or a history book before.

  8. p3. Education is an INVESTMENT. You think it's theft when other than yourself get the same as you. So I guess giving you an education was a waste of money since you hate what Jefferson endorsed. Why do you hate education and educated Americans? Less membership potential to the Koch funded Tea Party? Other than that, you sound like a Stalinist in your hatred towards your FELLOW Americans.

  9. p1. Let me ask you,. Do you prefer to have dumb workers and dumb voters who will stil vote against their own interest (GOP) because you think it's theft that also other people have gotten the same aeducation and tthe tax payer dime?

  10. The fact that RWers want to spill oil in your neighburood, drilling in the Arctic and spill oil everywhere have no negative effect on the environment? You don't mind taking a swim right where the oil reach the shores since you think that man have not a negative effect on said environment? If you think for a second that the melting of the poles with record speed have nothing to do with environmentla pigs who want to destroy nature in the name of fossil fuel and profit, you are naive at best.

  11. Is Alan Grayson ignorant? Elisabeth Warren? Al Franken? Being LIBERAL means being more open to knowledge, and less prejudice. Being conservative means having more prejudices and base their ideology just on fear of both other cultures as well as knowledge.

  12. Äccording to your bible thumping teabaggers, the world is 6000 years old, and there is no man made global warming. In fact, most climate change deniers refuse to accept that the North Pole is melting. Climate change deniers don't see any problem with spilling oil in your neighborhood, and the shrug and refuse to listen when icebergs are vanishing. Only CONserviatives can come to the 2+2=5 or 3=1 (Christian dogma of god being his son AND the ghost who screwed a 13 year old virgin)...

  13. Oh, the irony! Maybe you should pay back the money that OTHER people have paid so you can get an education and be a PRODUCTIVE member of society. Since you think that education is only for the rich elite who can afford it.

  14. p4. You are in other words a discrace to your country, and one of the reasons why USA has been dumbed down and became the laughing stock of the world since you had the dumbest "elected" president in history whose education also seemed to be a waste of tax payer money. I look at USA and ppl like you, I think of the movie Idiocracy...

  15. You are a Republican. You are always wrong. You're on the wrong side of history. You're on the side of Wall Street and the criminal tax evadors. You were on the wrong side of history regarding civil rights. You were on the wrong side of history regarding the social safetynet that saved your grand parent and great grand parents from poverty (unles they have a house at Comptons)...

  16. And to add insult to innjury, Thomas Jefferson was all for universal education. GOP wants only education for people who can afford it. And home schoolers? Well, isn't that special? Christian fundies can brainwash their own kids into believing in Creationism, and deny science and FACTS. If you trust your "friendly" corporation more than the government YOU ELECT, and would rather pay to private business owners you cannot fire than your government, then you have a huge problem with DEMOCRACY...
