    Today, inside, they dedicated a new statue of another American giant, Fredrick Douglas – a man born into slavery, but who knew instinctively that he was not born a slave. No man is. To keep a man a slave you do much the same as the cruel circus masters did to the elephant around the turn of l...

    It seems that the scandals just keep on coming. First, Americans are abandoned to die in a terrorist attack in Benghazi and the American people are lied to about the attack by the President and members of his cabinet. All of the facts are still unknown and the cover up continues. Then we learn tha...

    I spent this past weekend in Syracuse with family I haven’t seen in forty years, sat in the same church in the same pews I once sat next to my Grandparents in and visited their graves with my cousins and “Uncle Bill from the Hill”. Sunday was a perfectly sunny day, sandwiched in be...

    Recent news of the NSA collecting metadata of phone calls from communication companies, along with federal law enforcement seeming to continue to press for expansion of its ability to collect personal information online without warrants, has many questioning how safe their own privacy is. Although ...

    Transparency & the Rule of Law will be the Touchstones of this Presidency.~ Barack Obama, January 2009 How many of us pulled the lever for Obama five years ago hoping for a kinder, gentler, more open and inclusive America? How many of us bought into the notion that Obamacare = Compassion?...

EDUCATION OR THE LACK OF IT?

  • Posted by Mary Cole March 2, 2011 - Filed in Liberal Lunacy - #  - 178 views

    THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS IN DEFENSE OF OBAMA BY A HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR WHOM I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT WAS MUCH SMARTER AND WISER THAN HIS COMMENTS SAY TO ME - HOW CAN WE HAVE GONE SO WRONG?

    THIS YOUNG MAN HAS BEEN REARED IN IN THE SOUTH, IN CHURCH. AND IN A CHRISTIAN HOME BUT EDUCATED IN PUBLIC SCHOOL.

    I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ON-LINE DOCUMENTS OR VIDEOS THAT I MIGHT PUT ON FACEOOK SO THAT HE AND HIS PEERS ARE FURTHER EXPOSED TO THE TRUTH.  I WOULD HAVE THOUGH THAT HE WOULD HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN IT!

    "I hate how people jump all over him and believe lies about him that the Republicans put out to smear him. I think he's a decent person with good intentions, but he just hasn't done anything that he promised and hasn't dine anything good!

    But what the stupid hardcore anti Obama folks fail to realize is that our Government has seen far worse, and most of the terrible things that have happened in our government, havent had anything to do with our president, but the people in higher power than him!
     
    J Edgar Hoover ran our country from the mid 30's, until his death in '75. He did things that go against our constitution and basically ruled using fear as his tool! Nobody dared cross him!

    And also, 75% of the people involved in the Kennedy assassination were either CIA, FBI, or had ties to either! Our government has been screwed up for over half a decade, this is nothing new!"

    Mary Cole Thanks, Michael, but the "all caps" are my words of explanation, and the "lower case" paragraphs belong to the student to whom I am referring!

    Mary Cole Catherine, I would have though that! His mom and dad are so level-headed, but this young man is really into theater and drama. It makes me wonder if he thinks this because of his peer associations only. I gave him David Horowitz's little book, "Barack ...  more
