^^^unsupported garbage.
Might I suggest an undergarment?
There are several problems with education; would you agree? Many teachers unions are one of them; no doubt. "Waiting for Superman" illustrated that perfectly.This is my point though: He doesn't talk about any program he has to change it (at least Bush had NCLB); just "Leave the teachers unions behind". Yeah; the solution to improving education is paying teachers less. Only a dumbass like you would believe that.
Title X funding isn't a problem; getting rid of it will ironically lead to more abortions
Wait a minute. Are you claiming we had a "perfect" country before the Progressive era. Really?
Then some whacky people had some idea that the people who actually did the work should see the rewards
why does it have to be "written".
We had a vote, and we all decided that we were going to take care of poor people.
rich paid their fair share
and we enjoyed 3.9 unemployment.
Here's the thing, the lamest excuse for not doing the right thing is to say something assinine like 'Well, the Founding Slave-Owners didn't think of it in the 18th century, so it must not have been a good idea!"
Wait a minute. Are you claiming we had a "perfect" country before the Progressive era. Really?
Not at all. Unlike you and the other dumbocrats who buy into your idealistic "perfect" utopia. However, it was as close to a perfect system as we can possibly get.

The free-market bears exactly what you are worth every time. Nothing less. Nothing more. I know that pisses you off because you're not worth very much, but it's just a fact. If you worked 1/100th as hard as you bitch and cry, you would have been a billionaire. Instead, you think everyone owes you something.
[
Oh, I don't know Joe, because we are a nation of laws? Because people actually died to give us the very freedom you piss all over with your hate for this country and your hate for freedom.
[
No we didn't Joe. We didn't have a vote for Social Security. We didn't have a vote for Medicare. We didn't have a vote for Medicaid. And we sure as HELL didn't have a vote for Obamacare. Instead, we have a vote for representatives, many of which (the dumbocrats) who lied to us and then violated the very Constitution which they swore an oath to uphold and defend.
[
Sadly, we would need to cut taxes on the wealthy by about 75% for them to be paying their "fair share". The CBO already proved this, and made you look like a monumental fool for repeating this bullshit lie over and over.
[
and we enjoyed 3.9 unemployment.
Oh, you mean the 3.9% unemployment created by Ronald Reagan cutting taxes and getting the federal government the fuck out of the way of the free market, and which was then collapsed by Bill Clinton and his socialism? Yeah, it would be nice to get back to the Constitutional government Reagan restored and which brought us all of that prosperity.
[Here's the thing, the lamest excuse for not doing the right thing is to say something assinine like 'Well, the Founding Slave-Owners didn't think of it in the 18th century, so it must not have been a good idea!"
First of all, who are you to decide what is "the right thing"?!?! You know who else had not only the arrogance to decide that they knew "the right thing" but they were also arrogant enough to believe they had the divine right to push their arrogant assumption on all of humanity. I'm sure you know some of them - Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Benito Mussolini, Joseph Stalin, and now JoeB.

Second of all, like all dumbocrats, you don't know SHIT about American history. Your asinine dumbocrat talking point of "founding slave owners" is so inaccurate, it's not even funny. Furthermore, the fact that we ENDED slavery during the 1800's and long before the rise of your Marxism & Communism is PROOF of how dumb your argument is.
As far as actually fixing education - conservatives have long had a solution to this problem. It's called SCHOOL CHOICE. When tax dollars are not automatically funneled to the closest school to your house, and instead follow the student whose parents have a choice of where to send them, then the schools have to earn the dollars. And as everyone who is not a left-wing communist dumbocrat knows, being forced to earn in the free-market causes people to work harder, smarter, more efficiently, and just generally up their all around game. While being guaranteed the dollars regardless of performance (ie through government, through unions, etc.) ends with failure and collapse. And guess what else will happen through this model, besides a better education? As the tax dollars follow the students to private schools, the unions will start to collapse and... voilà! The state budgets will drastically improve as a result. Once again we see the free-market easily solving all of the problems created by the anti-free-market, pro-marxist dumbocrats.

I was merely pointing out Mitt's use of buzzwords to impress brainless dolts like you.There are several problems with education; would you agree? Many teachers unions are one of them; no doubt. "Waiting for Superman" illustrated that perfectly.This is my point though: He doesn't talk about any program he has to change it (at least Bush had NCLB); just "Leave the teachers unions behind".

You're so confused on these issues, you're actually mixing them together. I think you need to take a step back, turn off MSNBC, take a deep breath, and try to focus.
No kidding.When a conservative talks about paying teachers less, that has nothing to do with "fixing education".
On that we agree; it does nothing to fix education.That has to do with budgets. It has to do with massive state debts (like the $8 billion in Wisconsin at one time, the $4 billion in Ohio at one time, and the ungodly $16 billion that continues in California to this day). Paying less helps correct those deficits. Surely you can understand that, right?
And the teachers will be paid like Wal*Mart associates even with this "school choice"As far as actually fixing education - conservatives have long had a solution to this problem. It's called SCHOOL CHOICE.
Ahh, and if your local school closes and you can't send your child across town to the school that remains open...what then?When tax dollars are not automatically funneled to the closest school to your house, and instead follow the student whose parents have a choice of where to send them, then the schools have to earn the dollars.
So what you're saying is that throwing more money works?And as everyone who is not a left-wing communist dumbocrat knows, being forced to earn in the free-market causes people to work harder, smarter, more efficiently, and just generally up their all around game.

Trying to make the case that cutting funding for abortion will actually result in more abortions is as stupid as trying to make the case that cutting defense will actually result in defense contractors creating more military-grade weapons![]()
You really are out of your depth; it has never been more apparent.I'm not going to try to make the case that it will end all abortions. I know people will still find ways to do it (even self-inflicted). But ending the cash flow for it will definitely end SOME abortions.
There's stupid...and then there is THAT statement. You've set a new record.It's just a fact. Some people will not be willing to risk their own health and instead will choose adoption. And that will end with LESS abortions over all.
But that's really not the issue. While I find abortions tragic, ultimately those people are going to have to meet their maker one day and explain to HIM why they chose murder. The real issue is, it's not the American tax payer's fucking problem to pay for the abortions of the idiot dumbocrats.

Horseshit.
As a product of Catholic Parochial education, I can tell you this is bullshit.
The private schools didn't take the kids with learning disabilities. The nun's solution to ADHD was a "Ruler across the knuckles." Chornic problem children were thrown out.
Also, what you fail to realize that when you have people paying for a school, it means the parents are more involved. More likely to make sure the kids do their homework, meet with teachers and otherwise be involved.
I think there does need to be reform in the schools. Unions should not have carte blanche to protect bad teachers. Absolutely.
But frankly, if you reduce teacher pay, you are just going to get teachers who are less committed, less qualified, and the best and the brightest will just find something else to do for a living. Something less stressful.
Let's review, shall we.
Women couldn't vote.
Blacks couldn't vote.
Old people died young because of lack of medical attention.
Children worked in dangerous industrial environments.
Immigrants lived in vast tenement slums.
Then those mean old "progressives"- Republican and Democrats alike, decided, nope, we need to fix this.
Horseshit. What I've found is no matter how hard you work, there will always be someone out there trying to cheat you. The market is bullshit, always has been.
I don't define freedom as "the ability of the rich to act like douchebags."
Trickle down is a lie. Supply side doesn't work.
And the fact people like you go batshit crazy over a black guy in the white house shows we still have a long way to go.
Horseshit.

Isn't funny how we're talking about economics (ie pre-marxism, communism, socialism) and all you can do is point to is slavery and women not being able to vote? Kind of speaks volumes that you can't point to one single economic flaw in the system. Since you can't point out a flaw there, you point out flaws in completely unrelated items and somehow think that justifies your strong belief in communism.
[
I rest my case. You can't stand that people have the freedom to act however they want, "douchebag" or otherwise. You're just a little Joseph-Stalin wanna be..
[
Trickle down is a lie. Supply side doesn't work.
You know what works worse than Trickle Down Economics? The idiot Trickle Up Poverty you advocate just so you can feel better about your own failures. You want to drag everyone down to your level, because dragging them down is easier than making an effort to pull yourself up.
[

The fact that you and your fellow idiot dumbocrats can't talk about anything other than a black man in the White House shows was racist assholes you are. All you see is a black man. That's it. I've never seen a black man in the White House. I go "bat shit crazy" because we have a radical Marxist in the White House.

Thank you for PROVING my point (as always). Nobody defeats their own argument like Joseph B. Stalin here does.
If your Catholic school here was so bad, that's even more reason to advocate school choice. How quickly that school would go out of business if there were an abundance of Catholic school (or other school) choices your parents would have had to send you to.
Second, as far as "chronic problem children" - once again we see your entire "it's always someone else's fault" philosophy. If the child is a "chronic problem", he should be thrown the fuck out of the school and sent to a detention center for children.
As far as "ADHD" - once again we see your "it's always someone else's fault" philosophy. This is also another prime example of how more options would create a better education system as said child could move to place where they don't "rap knuckles" for that disorder.
Does it count as "keeping people in their place" when you propose knocking rich people down and stealing their $$?
Nobody has ever pulled himself up, not once. They've been pulled up by others or have climbed over others.
No, that's paying your fair share.
