Have you noticed THE SPIN coming out of the White House about Obama care? I love the new one- health subsidies are now your "opportunity". Yes, the land of the free and the brave, the land of opportunity where my grandparents came to from Europe to build their life based on freedom and the opportunity to work and raise their class status and life, now bases its opportunity on GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES!! THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY IS NOW THE OPPORTUNITY TO PICK SOMEONE ELSES POCKET, not to achieve FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY!!
Socialists are terrible at governing because for the large part they have no real life experience outside of government, NO COMMON SENSE, NO UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN NATURE, and their ideas are TERRIBLE FAILURES, but they are very good at THE SPIN. Do you want to know why they are so good at THE SPIN? They are so good at THE SPIN - BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD VOTE FOR THEM IF THEY TOLD THE TRUTH!!
Ever since Marx rolled out his ideas his followers have had to SPIN, to misrepresent and to lie, to get what they wanted. No matter how many times Marxism fails there are people who will just not give up on the idea that government can control lives and fortunes and create a panacea. There is just never an end to people who think they are so much better and so much smarter than YOU that they must social engineer you and your children, and take your money, so that THEY can create the perfect world. This is their idea of freedom.
I'm involved in schools because that is where the HEART OF THE SOCIALIST MOVEMENT IS PLAYING OUT. If you go to the Federal Department of Education website- www.ed.gov/pubs/edpubs.html. you will find an archived document, written in 1998 titled- "Schools
As Centers of Community". If you read this document you find the socialist dream of HEALTH CENTERS in the school that will service the WHOLE COMMUNITY among many other "services" that will connect and socialize us all . Guess who gets to pay for all this? Think real hard- yes- it's you!!
Guess who gets to decide what we all "must know" and "must do" and "must have"- well- that isn't you. Just drop your kids off - our socialist friends and bureaucrats from Washington will take care of all
of THAT. What are you complaining about? They'll probably be so kind as to LET you come to a consensus group and help pick a version of WHAT THEY WANT.
Did you know that our schools are "national school facilities" sic . Yes, our schools belong to the Federal Government- our schools are to be planned and evaluated and looked after by the Feds!! Hmm- I thought public schools were a STATES prerogative. Whoever handed our schools over to the Feds? If states want new school buildings they will build them- the bureaucrats in Washington just don't need to worry their ugly little heads about it. But alas- they have a 59 page document detailing exactly how schools should be built and the process that every school district must go through.
The Helena school district is on step 7. Such an opportunity for socialist renewal !! According to Richard Riley (Secretary of Education under Clinton ) our "national schools" are in need of repair and this is such an opportunity to rebuild them in the socialist image (he calls it "21st century schools"). Might I mention that THE SCHOOLS ARE IN BAD REPAIR BECAUSE THEIR PUPPET MASTERS IN WASHINGTON HAVE PUT OUT SO MANY GRANTS THAT HAVE ADDED COSTS AND PROGRAMS AND THEN WENT AWAY, THAT THE GENERAL FUNDS CAN'T MAINTAIN THE SCHOOLS ANYMORE? Oh yes, the socialists create the crisis and then they have the solution!! My, my, - small schools where kids aren't in "isolated" classrooms where they have to listen. Oh no- now they will run around and talk to their friends!! They will be "doing" rather than receiving and "creating" rather than recreating!! Oh yes, they know so much that they will be doing medical research I suppose instead of recreating those old science experiments that teach them things - like the old dissecting a frog. No quiet focused environments where you accumulate KNOWLEDGE- oh no-they will learn by discussing their opinions on global warming (their teacher's opinion really), with their friends.
The socialists vision of the 21st century is that , as Hillary Clinton so eloquently put it, "We are all in this together". So, the children in school will grow up in this perverted zoo like environment, all depending on one another and looking to the government for their opinions and their lunch. They will learn very little except how to be dependent and vote for Democrats. This is a tragic and sick situation and America better learn to KILL THE SPIN before it is too late.
As usual our Helena community is sitting down for THE SPIN from the socialists. Yes, our school district is just planning maintenance - ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS WORTH!!

THE LIFE'S BLOOD
The LIFE'S BLOOD of every wannabe dictator, bureaucrat and autocrat is the MONEY!! Our Helena School District just got their levy passed (second try- the mighty titans don't have to take no for an answer - that's democracy I guess- the titans get to keep going back again until they get what they want) anyway, the mighty titans got their LIFE'S BLOOD and they are so happy- now they can ask the public for the ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR BOND to build their -as a board member said- co--- I mean schools- she wanted to say community centers so badly!!
I think any honest person was raised to understand that your ends do not justify your means. This is not the case with liberal bureaucrats. They want what they want and they get it any way they can, which usually involves lying. You see, they think they are so RIGHT and so much smarter than you, that they have the RIGHT to mislead, coverup and lie to you ( like all good FASCISTS). The mill levy propaganda would have been hysterically funny if it wasn't just so tragic. Apparently, Amy Yerko was brought to Helena Montana from Chicago, to help them plan their maintenance!! The $250,000.00 spent out of the last levy to hire an architectural firm to hold town meetings (no architecture) where Amy Yerko was drug in , were just hired to "help plan maintenance!!". Well the people bought it, at least the Liberals did. We'll see if the Liberals will swallow the ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. Kent Kultgen, the superintendent, sure hopes they do- his job depends on it. You see, non-profits need free space and head count to keep meeting their bottom line. With sequester it becomes even more important for the schools to anti up. The bond will let them build the community centers with the office space and rooms for all the non profits to just move in and hopefully become a part of the school tax base!!
Our superintendent has taken it upon himself to rename our schools- we now have Helena High Title and Bryant Elementary Title etc. Title stands for a federal program called Title one. You see, if you are a "Title" school you get to apply for all the federal grants that are the LIFE'S BLOOD of all the socialist non profits. I mean gee whiz- jobs need to be paid for and everybody needs raises don't they? Why should they care about the taxpayer? Why should they care about the parents of these "poor" students being able to pay their bills? I'm sure there's another welfare program to help them pay their property taxes!! "The Federal Government can print money, just let them pay for it" - I have actually heard this said by liberals and have even seen it printed- wow, what lack of understanding about our economy and the consequences to any economy when governments print money.
Title schools give free food and programs to EVERYBODY irregardless of their parents income!!Wow- they deserve it right- and anyway the food service and non profits are making their LIFE'S BLOOD so who cares what kind of values they are teaching the children. Everybody get in and grab what you can!! What America stands for? Who cares about that - let's just change it to America stands for everybody having the RIGHT to get theirs.
Does it even occur to this superintendent to think of what he is doing to the students and the pride they have for their school by naming them Helena High Title? Does it even occur to him that classifying and naming schools by their income levels may make students feel bad about the school they go to ? I guess in the sick world he comes from adding up those "Title" schools must make him real proud- but it doesn't make the kids proud.
Title schools get their lauded position simply by having 40% of their students on free or reduced lunch. The schools can pick any day in the month- so the secretary better jump on any day they are so lucky to reach the 40%! Don't miss it!! We love to have poverty schools!! And we are so proud of it too!! And how does the secretary know that the family really makes the income they report on the free and reduced lunch form? She doesn't. She only has to check a few forms at random and call the employer. Most of it is just the honor system. Would anyone lie to get free stuff? You be the judge.
To conclude this voyage into the socialist wonderland I will just tell you that the state superintendent Denise Juneau, as reported by the school superintendent at the board meeting, came to him and said "You are underreporting the number of homeless. Districts your size should have more homeless!". Well, he got busy on that one and got the number up from 40 to 120!! What a good superintendent, he's so good at helping all the bureaucrats and suck-offs get their LIFE'S BLOOD. You see, the state office of public instruction has a department for the homeless- and well- how can they get their LIFE'S BLOOD (grant money) if they don't have the head count!! America- wake up and call off these dogs.

ARE NEWSPAPERS PROVIDING COMMUNICATION OR MANIPULATION?
Today is voting day in Helena, Montana. The people have been voting for weeks with write in ballots- our citizens are not allowed to vote at the polls for city or school elections anymore. Who cares about secure elections- the bureaucrats love write in elections- so much less work. But on to the question at hand- do the people have the information they should have before they vote?
The FREE PRESS is a cornerstone of our freedom. How can you exercise your freedom when you don't have the information? The FREE PRESS, otherwise known as THE NEWSPAPERS, are counted on to tell the people the truth. These are the very people that should have known that Obama was lying about the healthcare bill BEFORE it was passed. They didn't scramble to find a"'Deep Throat"like in the old Watergate scandal days. They just weren't so curious about whether your health insurance policy would be canceled or if the price of your health insurance would really go down $2,500.00 a year for a family of four. They didn't even care that your insurance would obviously go up when insurance companies were REQUIRED to offer more services and accept EVERYBODY - even if they just got sick ( kind of like signing up for car insurance after you have an accident and the insurance company being forced to pay for the accident). Such a lack of curiosity by the press, such a benefit for lefty central government control freak liars, such a tragedy for freedom in America.
Here's what happened in Helena. We have a Helena School District building levy on the ballot today. My husband asked a simple question- "If you want us to vote more money for you, could we please see how you spent the money in the last levy?". It took us SIX MONTHS of asking to finally get this information. Can you believe in these days of technology they couldn't just print out a spread sheet? These are the incompetents that are doing home visits in your home.
So my husband went through the information and found some very curious things. One of the things he found was that with THIRTY FIVE boilers past their life expectancy our district decided to put almost a million dollars ($875,000.00) into a school that is filled with FEDERAL PROGRAMS , a school that IS CLOSED TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD STUDENTS. Instead of replacing BOILERS and fixing ROOFS, instead of looking out for the welfare and safety of the general school population, they financed fixing buildings for HEAD START!! My husband wrote a Your Turn article with all of the pertinent information and school district referenced sources. THE NEWSPAPER WOULD NOT PRINT THE YOUR TURN!! My husband emailed the editor and called the editor (answering machine) to no avail. Your Turns for the levy were printed but not my husbands with the correct information. He wasn't advocating for or against- he just wanted the information out there.
The News Paper gave the Helena School District FOUR PAGES to advocate for their levy (plus a front page story and big above the fold picture) but they would not print the Your Turn that gave the facts. Even an old warrior in these school wars such as myself was startled at what came next. The Helena School District listed all the projects that they had done with the former levy- BUT THEY NEVER MENTIONED THE $875,000.00 THEY SPENT ON RAY BJORK SCHOOL!!
My husband called the newspaper to point out this very important fact. Only one other project had more money spent on it than Ray Bjork. Ray Bjork spending amounted to more than ten percent of total outlays- surely they would want to correct their story! Wrong again- they buried it.
I'm sorry to all the citizens of Helena that missed this information. THIS IS HOW THE NEWSPAPERS MANIPULATE YOUR VOTE INSTEAD OF PROTECTING FREEDOM. THE NEWSPAPERS HAVE ABDICATED THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO THE PUBLIC IN ORDER TO BOW TO THE LIES OF LEFTISTS THAT CAN NEVER TELL YOU THE REAL TRUTH BECAUSE THEY WOULD LOSE YOUR VOTE IF YOU KNEW WHO THEY REALLY WERE.
The Newspaper allowed FOUR PAGES for the Helena School District to promote their bond.
