TRY IGNORANCE

Have you ever seen that slogan that the education unions like to use " If you think education is expensive, TRY IGNORANCE"? At some point I guess the liberals understand, based on this slogan, that IGNORANCE can lead to tyranny. Ignorant people, people without education or information, will vote for dictators- Hitler was elected. What is used to propagandize and control these "ignorant" people? Class warfare is ALWAYS what is used. You see,the dictator says, the reason you are poor is that someone else has taken advantage of you and we are going to set things right by TAKING what these unfair people have, and GIVING it to you!! So- vote for us!! What a deal-of course the "ignorant" will vote for you! Why do people respond to sales at the store? There is something real cheap- getting two for one- getting something for nothing. But when it comes to voting for government- what the ignorant don't understand- is the consequences of what they are voting for.

Apparently Scott Walker, the governor of Wisconsin who stood up to the teacher's union, is all in on Common Core. Seriously Scott?!! The Federal government is promising big money to states that fall in line for the National Education Standards and Scott wants the money. States are cash strapped beyond belief with all the WELFARE they are paying out - Federal grants that have gone away leaving states to pay the tab for programs for everything from advertisements to brush your teeth to urban foresters and federal curbs- along with government unions that are sucking the life out of taxpayers. So Scott wants the money. Hey Scott- have you thought about the CONSEQUENCES of what you are giving up? Dear Scott, federal control of our schools takes away LOCAL FREEDOM AND CONTROL!! Federal government control of schools is what they had in the Soviet Union, what every dictatorship has. The Feds want this control so they can Propagandize our children- from environmentalism to sex to data collection- to whatever the latest lobby wants.

Now, maybe Scott just doesn't want to believe this- the money is so enticing. Here's a nice little example for you Scott. A lawyer in Helena had his daughter accused of bullying in school because she didn't want to play with someone- she wanted to choose her own friends!! Our children are now being bullied by the schools!! They will watch them interact in all these Common Core proscribed"diverse" teams and determine if they interact "effectively" and "respectfully". This is subjective and violates the constitution in so many ways it is hard for me to count- let's start with FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION, FREEDOM OF SPEECH, THE RIGHT TO PURSUE MY OWN HAPPINESS- and so on. Maybe I'm a private person and I'd just like to do my own work. Maybe I don't want to share my answers. Just maybe I should be graded on the quality of my WORK and WHAT I KNOW ,not someone else's opinion of whom I should associate with and what I should say and how I should say it.

IGNORANCE is definitely expensive Scott. I believe many liberals are WILLFULLY IGNORANT. They will give up their freedom and the freedom of their children based on CLASS WARFARE IDEOLOGY. They need to quit blindly following this ideology, there is no panacea. The WAR ON POVERTY- has been going on for fifty years and it has created more crime, more drug use, a breakdown in morals, corruption in the courts (many judges get their jobs not because of their abilities but because they can be relied on to do what they are told), corruption in the government, more poverty, more unwed births, government imploding with debt,- no panacea at all. These people- IGNORANT BECAUSE OF IDEOLOGY- will continue to vote to give away all our freedoms without questioning what in the world they are voting for.  The next time a liberal asks you what YOUR IDEA is tell them it is the rugged individual who has integrity and pride and can take care of himself. A government that is not in debt and not corrupt because it is so huge- oh yes, and FREEDOM FROM GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRATS!! Actually, we can brush our own teeth without a government sponsored billboard telling us to do that- we even know how to feed our own children without Michelle Obama telling us what they should eat.

Yes, IGNORANCE IS DEFINITELY EXPENSIVE. OUR LIBERAL FRIENDS NEED TO DROP THE IDEOLOGY AND WAKE UP AND SMELL THE NSA ROSES- GOVERNMENT IS OUT OF CONTROL FOLKS-AND IT ISN'T DOING YOU ANY GOOD EITHER.

THE ARCHITECTS OF MODERNITY

Certain people among us who think of themselves as ha ha "progressives" - think that they and their movement are the ARCHITECTS OF MODERNITY. Actually they are not. They would like to be- and they would like to trick you into thinking that they are- but alas- THEY ARE NOT. They have a vision for sure- one that has people directed to their station in life "the poor", the "homeless", the "disabled" and so on. Conservatives don't divide people up that way- they see all people as equal and having the same opportunities.

A grandmother I know, who is raising her granddaughter, had her going to one of our "title" schools here- Federal Government delineated as "poor" school. The little girl started losing self esteem and self confidence. She moved her out of that school to a school that is not "title" and the child has voila!! self esteem again. Why is that? I think it's expectations. If you are told you are a victim and need free food all day long- you might start to think you ARE A VICTIM!!

When I was in school we were all the same. Oh, their might have been a kid whose parents could afford store bought goodies like Twinkies- but really- we were all the same. There was no dividing kids up- everybody was expected to be disciplined and to work hard if they expected to succeed. We were told America was the land of opportunity and we believed it. If your life got messed up it was because you messed it up. I graduated when I was 17 and I went to work- and college at the same time. I worked days and went to school at night. I shared an apartment with a couple of other girls. I never even considered government assistance- that was for welfare people- not me. No one took welfare- it just wasn't done. Now the people who think they are the ARCHITECTS OF MODERNITY, think there is a NEW WORLD ORDER ( same term Hitler used) that will have just about everybody on some type of welfare.

Instead of working two jobs people will just get food stamps. Instead of delaying gratification and staying off drugs people will just go to food share and label themselves "homeless". Instead of being a rugged individual who is proud and self reliant - a person will accept their status as an underachiever and lay around waiting for the next handout.

These people who think they are the ARCHITECTS of our FUTURE think project based learning will bring people out of poverty!! SERIOUSLY RANDI ? Randi Weingartner, the head of the teacher's union, was on the Megan Kelly show parroting this nonsense. Megan asked her what "project based learning" was, but when Randi said robots, she didn't probe further. Hey Randi, seriously, where's your data? Where's your research? How is this all going to happen? I'll tell you something Randi- JOBS ARE WHAT BRING PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY!! PEOPLE WITH EXPECTATIONS OF HARD WORK, DISCIPLINE, SELF RELIANCE, FORTITUDE AND DELAYING GRATIFICATION BRING PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY. JUST ASK ANYONE WHO HAS MADE ANY SUCCESS OUT OF THEIR LIFE- THAT IS HOW IT IS DONE!! Government programs and doing drugs in Denver just isn't going to get you there. But do these over stuffed government types who think they are the ARCHITECTS OF MODERNITY really want a free America that doesn't need them? I'm guessing not.

Conservatives have their own idea of "21st century skills" and this involves all the values listed above. It also includes learning real skills by buckling down to the books and taking personal responsibility- not visiting with your friends and doing only what you like, and what is "creative" and "exciting" and "fun".

The only thing the "progressives" have done is destroy this country with the old failed ideas of the Communists. They like to take credit for the Civil Rights movement- but sorry- the Democrats in the south fought Civil Rights as long as they could. No, these people can take credit for societal break down and economic implosion and debt. They can take credit for propaganda and lies that they use to try to get more and more control- like the Global Warming scam and the alternative energy scam.Community Centers are not the same as schools. They can drop the "nothing has changed" garbage- senior citizens going to schools to get healthcare is not the same as using the gym for basketball practice!! How stupid do they think or hope the American people are? They can take credit for the break down of our justice system and government corruption that we've never seen the likes of before. They can take credit for turning our public school system into propaganda centers where children learn to separate from their parents with their own opinions and points of view when they're five. Old Communist ideas are not a hold on our future. Liberals are NOT THE ARCHITECTS OF MODERNITY!!



































I taught in low income schools and I taught children the values to climb the ladder of success.

CORRUPTION

Central planning always leads to corruption and the United States is no exception. When you hear about all the corruption going on - there is so much that they don't even become scandals anymore-just reports- you might feel like you are living in a banana republic.

Let's start with Carlos Slim- off and on the richest man in the world. He has made FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS off of the Obama Phone program. You see, you get charged a fee on your phone every month to buy cell phones for the "poor". For every cell phone that is given out the government pays Carlos $9.25 a month.What a deal- Carlos might even just give those cell phones away- in fact- you really don't have to prove your income in most cases and some people get more than one phone!! Carlos must be laughing his head off on his way to the bank- he's rich because they don't have much of a welfare system in Mexico where he is a citizen- that's why all the poor Mexicans come to the United States for services!! He doesn't have to pay the taxes and he collects all the telephone fees that the sucker Americans are forced to pay!!

The list goes on- today it was reported that the U.N. is giving low income reports to ambassadors so that they can sign up for medicaid- this qualifies them for welfare and they are taking vacations and buying cars on our dime! Forty nine ambassadors have been located so far- hmm- do you think it has stopped at forty nine? In the Wall Street Journal today it is reported that a judge gave her good friend a honey of a job- $1,000 an hour to investigate Apple- but whoops- the friend doesn't know how to investigate Apple so he takes his $1,000 an hour and then has hired someone else at $1000 an hour and sends the bill of $2,000 an hour to Apple. The consumer pays for all of this.

In schools we used to have fair competition among curriculum companies. There were so many curriculum companies to choose from- Silver Burdett, McGraw Hill, Houghton Miflin, Scott Foresman - to name a few. Then the Federal Government got involved- now it looks as if Pearson will just walk off with the prize. All schools have the same curriculum- which is copyrighted- and all books must have the same curriculum. No more need to compete or improve or innovate- Common Core has taken care of all that. Common Core tests will be on computers- schools better anti up to Microsoft or they won't be able to take the tests. No choice, no competition, no decisions to make - all taken care of in Washington. School administrators are not paid to think- they must go along- and they all do. Our schools have become corrupt power cartels dictated to from Washington. All they have to do is go along. Who really cares if the kids are learning anything or if all of these ideas are bad and destructive? You don't get paid for bucking the system- and the amount of money in that system is hard to fathom.

You know, since no one is thinking anymore, you just go with the flow and don't ask for proof either. Did you hear that they falsified the employment data right before the election? Another corruption report that just came and went into the ether. People from the census bureau were reporting that they were told to makeup positive data. In school employees just say programs work- like Montessori or Dare or the Gifted and Talented program- no data needed. When asked about conflicts- like" How come Montessori says every kid should learn at their own speed and Common Core insists that every kid will learn the same things at the same time in every grade?"- we are told Common Core doesn't have grade levels!! Common Core not only has grade levels it has a scope and sequence!!

The bigger the government in Washington gets the more corrupt and unaccountable they become- the more destructive and secretive they become- the more they need the press to be their pubic relations department and cover for them. We certainly see that in the paper here- they run a positive made up story about Common Core weekly - ON THE FRONT PAGE!! They bury the truth and won't do investigative reporting. If they DID do investigative reporting they might report that the Helena schools in following the Community Centers plan for "21st century schools" has every intention of closing at least two schools- though the superintendent has PROMISED NO SCHOOLS WOULD BE CLOSED.

All this sadness and lying and corruption which leads to public distrust and economic collapse has been brought on by the central planners. We can only hope that the American Dream will not die on the bed of these socialist nim com poops.
