What is THE COMMON CORE? Some people believe, and some in this country are still trying to make you believe, that this is a set of standards for 21st centruy learning. Maybe, you are wise to this and know that it is a national curriculum. If you read my blog you know that curriculum is content. Our school textbooks and achievement tests are now aligned to THE COMMON CORE, thus THE COMMON CORE IS CONTENT, THE COMMON CORE IS A NATIONAL CURRICULUM.
It's great if you understand this, but unfortunately, THE COMMON CORE, is far more devious than even this. If you read these textbooks and understand this content coming from the COMMUNIST LEFT, you begin to understand what they mean by THE COMMON CORE. Think about it, WHAT IS YOUR COMMON CORE? WHAT ARE YOUR CORE BELIEFS? If you are an American they may go something like this- you believe in individual freedom. You believe in hardwork and personal responsibility to make you successful in life. You believe in fair play - justice under the law. You believe in unalienable rights from our Declaration of Independence- the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. You probably believe in our constitution that protects these rights.
Most people think THE COMMON CORE is core knowledge in math and reading. This is not so. THE COMMON CORE strives to CHANGE THE CORE BELIEFS OF OUR CHILDREN. IT STRIVES TO CHANGE THE CORE BELIEFS OF AMERICA. That is what THE COMMON CORE is all about.
What is the new COMMON CORE that these GLOBAL SOCIALISTS from the U.N. and the FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION want our children's CORE BELIEFS changed to? The most profound statement that stood out to me was that our Supreme Court does not have to go by the written constitution to make their decisions. They use precedent, their COMMON SENSE, and WHAT IS GOING ON AT THE TIME!! This puts our whole constitution up for grabs. The Constitution has no meaning and no authority. Remember, the children are reading this in a textbook. They will believe it is the truth. My husband thinks these propaganda artists will never reach their goal but I'm not so sure. Some high school teachers report that it is harder and harder to teach the truth to children about global warming or any other lefty hoax.
The new COMMON CORE would have the children believe that they live in a Nation State which is no better than any other. It would have them believe that they are responsible to and for the WORLD. They drink too much water and use too many resources and they need to share with the 3rd world countries. It would have them beilieve if they are willing to give up "just a little bit of power" they can be a supranational Nation State like the Nation States in the European Union and this is so advantageous for everyone. They are no longer an individual, they are part of a COMMUNITY and everyone in the COMMUNITY is responsible to find consensus and work together. They are all responsible for each other - so there really is no PRIVATE PROPERTY. Of course, this consensus is directed from the central government. A good citizen will not dispute what they are told. If the central government says there is global warming for example, a good citizen will accept this.
This is THE NEW COMMON CORE. Religion is not in the common square, it is to be hushed up, kept quiet. The government decides how things will be, not religion. These lefty atheists think they know more than God!! Your families beliefs are O.K. only so long as they go along with the central government's ideas. If not, they are wrong and children should not listen to them.
National sports like football are not good. Football is violent and causes concussions. What the NEW COMMON CORE really hates about football is that it idolizes the OLD COMMON CORE BELIEFS OF COMPETITION AND THE RUGGED INDIVIDUAL.
The people who have done this think they are very clever and much smarter than you. The entire Federal Department of Education needs to be gotten rid of. Hllary Clinton will tell you "We have come so far , we can't go back!". We can't get a Republican elected because they might take us back to freedom and the Constitution!
America has had great success looking to our creator to guide us. It has had great success under the Constitution that our forefathers left us with. Now we have social rot and massive debt that threatens our whole economy. WE DO NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT THE NEW COMMON CORE. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT SMARTER THAN GOD. Some things change and some things are unalienable, they are right forever. STAND UP AMERICA AND TAKE YOUR COUNTRY BACK!!

NO NIKKI HALEY!!! NO!! NO!! NO!!
Nikki Haley is so completely wrong!! I have never heard such a stupid and wrong Republican response to the State of The Union Address ! I would ask what she could possibly be thinking but I know - she's thinking what the country club Republicans told her to say!! Don't ride that horse Nikki- I see your career disappearing right before my eyes!!
The angry voices ARE being heard - I would ask," Don't you get it?" - but obviously you don't, you said so, have you looked at Trump's poll numbers lately? He speaks and America follows - why?- because he is RIGHT!!
Nikki- you are a young woman- younger than I - so maybe you can't remember who created this mess. Maybe you can't remember the sixties when the communist left took over the Democrat party. Maybe you've been immune to all the years of lies, agendas, manipulations and new vocabulary. But get this Nikki - IT WASN'T THE REPUBLICANS WHO DID THIS!! WAKE THE HELL UP!! The Republicans may have enabled like a weak woman enables a drunken husband - but they didn't start this, they didn't create this. EVERY BAD IDEA FROM FEDERAL CONTROL OF WELFARE AND SCHOOLS TO VISTA AND THE PEACE CORPS CAME FROM THE LEFT NIKKI.
The left killed Kennedy because he wasn't what they wanted- he wasn't liberal enough. They got their man Johnson in and he rammed through the Great Society. Then he wasn't liberal enough either and Gene McCarthy took over. Carter rammed through the department of education in 1977. Today we have a national curriculum called Common Core. Our children are being propagandized in their seats.
No, the Republicans are not responsible for the social rot and TWENTY TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT - THE DEMOCRATS ARE. The Republicans are not responsible for open borders that are destroying our country - THAT WAS TED KENNEDY'S IMMIGRATION ACT (yes, he was a DEMOCRAT Nikki).
The angry American voices may save this nation but apparently not if it's up to you Nikki. You talk about how "we" must fix our schools. Who exactly are you referring to? It sounds collective. The Federal Government HAS NO ROLE IN EDUCATION - get it Nikki - NO ROLE - NO ROLE!!! Education may be doing well in some states and not in others - it's not a "we" situation. Then you talk about the 10th amendment. How can you respect the 10th amendment when you won't confine the Federal government to enumerated powers?!!! Yes, Nikki the American people are very angry and you don't get it. Get going or get out of the way because we're coming to get our country back- with or without you.
You talk about "letting everyone into our country" then say they have to be legal. Legal means not everyone gets in Nikki. Legal means we get to pick and choose who we want. We get to pick people who will actually help this country and are not a threat. We get to look out for our own self interests. As many people before me have said - you can't have a welfare state and then accept all comers - obviously this does not work- just look at our DEBT THAT IS DESTROYING OUR NATION!!
I didn't listen to Obama because I know he is a traitor- now Cuba has our Hell Fire Missile and Iran is stealing technology from 10 sailors they captured. We are in serious, very serious trouble. I listened to your speech because I thought there might be SOME LEADERSHIP TO RIGHT THE SHIP OF STATE AND GET THE COUNTRY BACK TO OUR CONSTITUTION!! BUT NO LUCK - YOUR WEAK MILK TOAST SPEECH ABETTED THE COMMUNIST LEFT AS MUCH AS IF YOU WERE FOR THEM - STILL THE ENABLER- NOT ABLE TO STAND UP AND SAY THE TRUTH AND
LEAD!!
I couldn't believe those idiots on the Fox panel- "your speech was eloquent" really Charles Krauthammer? Like these are the times that try men's souls- that kind of eloquent? Get real! I guess everyone needs their job. The speech was milk toast and couldn't stand up for anything- even putting the blame where it belonged! This kind of leadership will not save this country. Get on board or get lost. We will correct this mess without the establishment Republicans- we will defeat them too. They are only making our job harder.
I generally only watch the schools closely but I can tell you - the radical Communist Left has taken over our textbooks like any tinhorn dictatorship would do. Are we going to change our textbooks every time we elect a new president now? Or are we Cuba- the propaganda stays no matter who we elect because we are a communist country now? Those books are trying to change attitudes of the children who are our future- clear this mess out or be damned!! There's no time for establishment Republican pussy footing around.

TRADITION
Why do you think the ACLU has made your town take down all the Christmas decorations? Why can't you have angels and stars and Creche's ? Why does your school have to call the Christmas program the "Winter program"? Why can't we pray in school anymore or sing Silent Night? Why are they against all these things? Why are they afraid of all these things?
The answer is simple if you read Karl Marx's manifesto. If you want to change a society to Socialism you can't just cut off the head (change the economy) you have to change all the scaffolding underneath - you have to change the culture!! That's right - all those things that bring us together as a nation from Christmas Carols to Religion to the English Language must be changed. We now are told not to recognize our country as a Christian English Speaking Nation. We are "Multicultural" and"Bilingual". Women go into combat in the military. Our president won an election on "Changing America". Communism is not so bad- we have now recognized a repressive Communist regime right off our own shores- Cuba.
So, this Christmas hang on to your values and your traditions. From singing Christmas Carols (Even Rudolph) to writing in cursive to going to your church, to expecting immigrants to assimilate and speak English - let America ring out!! WE DO HAVE A CULTURE AND WE SPREAD OUR CULTURE AROUND THE WORLD- FROM BLUE JEANS TO HAMBURGERS TO MUSIC AND MOVIES TO THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE- WE ARE NOT ONLY A CULTURE WE ARE THE DOMINANT CULTURE IN THE WORLD. AIRLINE PILOTS AND SCIENTISTS AROUND THE WORLD MUST SPEAK GOOD ENGLISH.
The Marxist's think they can change our culture to Socialism by infiltrating our schools and social engineering our children. They think they can use the media to change you too. Don't fall for the propaganda. Charity begins at home- not with nonprofits that take government grants and pay their CEO's millions of dollars. The biggest scandal in this country is the corruption of the non profits. Charity is charity- it's what you give not what you take. Do your charity to your neighbor and your church and teach your children to do the same. Teach personal responsibility not victim hood . Teach the rugged individual attitudes and practice them yourself. A culture is a very hard thing to change. Our American culture is still very much in tact. On Sunday our churches are full.
They may teach Socialist lies at school but every single person- including the teacher- cling desperately to their house, their car and their paycheck. Capitalism and private property built this amazingly successful nation and it is nothing to be ashamed of at all. We have risen millions out of poverty and Socialism has put millions into poverty. Just think- WHY WOULD THE MOST SUCCESSFUL SYSTEM IN THE WORLD BE UNDER ATTACK? WHY WOULD THE FAILED SYSTEM BE THE ONE WE ARE ASKED TO CHANGE TO? If you know the answer to that one I would like to hear from you, I've never been able to figure it out!! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!

COMMON CORE ALIGNED TEXTBOOKS
I did something that I'll bet most of you have not done. I sat down for days and read the new Common Core Aligned Social Studies and Geography texts for 7th grade through 12th. I still have not read the Elementary Texts, but I will. I'm being told they are not new. Seems funny since the excuse for not letting the books out of school, at least to one fifth grader, was that they are "brand new" and the teacher can't let the students take them home. If I was one of those parents I would demand to see those texts. I taught for thirty years and we never had a policy of not releasing textbooks!! Unfortunately, I had a great deal of trouble getting to see these new texts. I asked parents first and the excuses as to why students couldn't bring their texts home were startling- they were all on line- but with the students pass word I still couldn't get in- hmmm. Then the new books story, then one student had no book!! They just did worksheets! My, my, our district paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for a texbook adoption and this student's class isn't even using them!
So finally I went before the school board and asked what their policy was for letting the public see the textbooks. I was handed off to the curriculum director who told me I could only look at them on Thursday and Friday in the conference room at the district office because they were short on books and the teacher's might need them at any time. Even on the weekend?? Well, I went to the conference room and began reading. I read for two days (and took notes), but alas. there were too many books for me to read in two days. I came back on Monday and carried my stack of books down to the conference room , I felt like a criminal. As I began to read, suddenly there was a soft tap, tap on the door. Who could this be? I said "come in". Lo and behold it was the superintendent!! He said I could borrow the books for a few days. I was overjoyed at not having to come to detention every day!!
The point is, you own these books and have a right to see them. They should be available for you to check out from the school library. Every member of the public, but certainly the parents, should keep tabs on what these books are teaching our future generation. The fact that Pearson publishing has managed to set up a monopoly on textbook publishing should have everyone very concerned. It's interesting to read the introduction " These books are Common Core aligned. Common Core is a set of standards that determines what you SHOULD KNOW AND BE ABLE TO DO!! Hmmm- not a curriculum but only just exactly what you have to know and be able to do in every subject every day at every grade level in every school across the country. This is frightening stuff.
As you can imagine the themes were environmentalism, racism and social justice. Horace Mann, one of the founders of this school interventionism, thought that everything a child learned in school should be taught for the PURPOSE OF SOCIAL ENGINEERING THE CHILDREN!! People like Horace Mann are SO SURE they are right and superior, that they think it is their responsibility to brainwash your children. Right now, you are letting them do this.
Propaganda in these books is sometimes outright but is often just misleading. For example, Margaret Sanger was indeed the founder of Planned Parenthood and Planned Parenthood does indeed provide contraception. But wait a minute, Planned Parenthood also does abortions and sells body parts and Margaret Sanger was a eugenicist who wanted to root out what she thought were undesirable people!!This information is not mentioned. Silent Spring was indeed a book that started the environmental movement, but wait a minute- her theory was debunked and she was discredited - where is that information?!!
The U.S. History book had one chapter on World War II and FOUR CHAPTERS ON RACISM. They broke racism down into special categories of people like Blacks, Native Americans, Latin Americans and Women. Clearly It's more important that we are all racists than that we are a successful, rich and powerful nation that liberated Europe. In fact, the whole book instructed our students that they ate more and used more water and had more money than other countries in the world, and therefore it was implied, they are guilty!! Guilty of what? If I have more money does it mean that someone else will necessarily have less? Does my having money stop them from achieving? People like Andrew Carnegie started out dirt poor. The ingenutity of these people that rose thousands of others out of poverty is just not applauded. They are accused of having sweat shops. They are accused of being responsible for people living in one room flats. Where do they think these people lived before? They were better off in the flats, that's why they wrote the "America" letters home to their families in Europe encouraging them to come to America too! Our children are not made to feel proud, they are made to feel ashamed.
America as Imperialist and Colonialist goes on and on. Yes, we left troops in the Phillipines, in fact, we still have troops in Germany today. That does not mean we have colonialized their government!! Using ports in American Samoa and Puerto Rico does not make us imperialist. We left Nicaragua and the Communists took over- gee that was great. I guess the only country that gets to have a sphere of influence is Russia- works well for them. Puerto Rico can become independent anytime they want- they keep voting it down because they live on benefits from the good old U.S. of A.!! I wish we could just tell them they're independent - leave now- we've supported you long enough!!
I was surprised to learn that Geography is now Science, History, Political Science, Anthropology and Sociology. Then, if you think of Horace Mann's mission, you just can't social engineer students teaching them longitude and latitude and where the countries, mountains, seas, rivers and oceans are can you? No, Geography now teaches that some families have "same sex" parents, and "Many people believe the earth is warming because of fossil fuels" and industries create "acid rain" and developers ruin rainforests " the earth's lungs"(where's the proof for that hyperbolic statement?!!) and on and on.These are young children- they will believe this stuff!! Didn't mention the let it burn policy and all the destruction of habitat and run off that that causes - hmmm- just an oversight I guess.
We used to have a Western Civilization class in high school - now they call it World Cultures - we wouldn't want to give Western Civilization any credit would we? The name of the new book, which used to be Governent taught in 12th grade, is "Power, Politics and You". This book didn't just make me mad- it made me fighting mad- and I don't get fighting mad. They brainstormed all the ways government bureaucracy is good and listed eighteen items!! I don't recall them mentioning our almost 20 trillion dollars in debt. They didn't mention all the corruption and duplication. They praised unions but never mentioned how all the lobbying is about jobs more than it's about good government. Did you know the Peace Corps and Head Start have reduced poverty by fifty percent?!! They have to explain to the children what the word posterity means but they expect them to answer questions in every chapter like ,"Was the Civil War inevitable?", "Was World War II inevitable?", "Should our definition of rights be expanded to include new privileges?" Obviously this is the first time students have seen this material- the writers of the book know what answer they want, and they will walk the students there.
The bandwagon technique is used constantly, referring to the 2nd amendment -"Debate continues over whether this right was meant to apply to individuals or to members of a state militia." Exactly how many people are debating this? Many times they just outright lie, "Our Constitution has been so successful because it is a flexible document that changes with the times", "Conservatives are people who want to control more and Liberals are people who believe more in freedom" ( I did get a belly laugh out of that one!!). And then there's their biased opinions stated as fact, "Nevertheless, the moderate reforms that were typical of progressivism produced real benefits for society."
I really encourage you to get ahold of these books and read them.Take notes and write down the page- everyone in America should know what the radical leftists are doing to our textbooks. And everyone in America should stop them!!

STEALING FAMILIES
I was treated once again by a presentation from the Early Childhood Coalition at the Helena School Board meeting the other night. These people are deceitful and I'm assuming they know it. If they look at resesearch about strictly Head Start children they find, in their own research, that at most, children from Head Start do not do better than their peers from similar families by third grade,and at worst, by kindergarten!! Yet, the Early Chldhood Coalition continue with their montra that preschool keeps kids out of prison and graduates them from high school. They are not just measuring Head Start.
What the Early Childhood Coalition is really measuring is families,because what they are measuring is all children who go to preschool. Children who go to preschool have, by and large, educated involved parents who want the best for their children. Naturally, more of these chldren graduate from high school and do not become criminals.
When I brought my children home from the hospital I was terrified. I thought," I could make this child a drug addict or a college graduate, it's on me!" I have changed my thoughts on many things over the years, but I have not changed my opinion on what makes a healthy child. My husband and I together were very diligent and consistent in our parenting, our children were always first, they were always the center of our world. We were not perfect and our children are not perfect, but they did not do drugs and they have advanced degrees. They are able to function as healthy adults in this world.
School can not replace families. When kindergarten becomes all day, many children lose that wonderful afternoon at home. In many families parents do work, but not in all. When preschool offers free breakfast that time that children with working parents used to spend with family preparing and eating breakfast, even if it is a bowl of cereal, is gone from their day. When schools offer free lunch the pride and loyalty that comes from knowing your parents provided that lunch is gone. When schools offer daycare the parents no longer take their afternoon break to pick their child up from school and get them to daycare. That time in the car sharing what they did today or what prioblem they might have is gone from them.
Many schools now have healthcare centers. When the school takes over healthcare parents no longer take time off of work to take their children to the doctor. That time in the car, in the waiting room, in the doctors office, is stolen from that child.
The Early Childhood Coalition and all of their do gooder liberal friends, may mean well along with their desire to use government to grow their businesses, but what they are doing is really stealing from the child those things that REALLY will make them healthy, their family.
There are many kinds of families, but when you offer things for free and without hassle, many parents will accept, just because it is there. Government has shown over and over again that they can not and do not make healthy people. You have only to go to any ghetto that is hgihly subsidized by the government to see what government programs create. Government destroys. In addition, too much government will bring all of us down because WE CAN NOT PAY FOR IT AND WE RISK LOSING OUR ECONOMY.
Unfortunately, this country will always have unhealthy families. Social services and family courts will place children out of homes that do not take csre of them. These are criminally neglectful and abusive families. The average family, though not perfect, will do best to raise their own children.
Jobs and a free America, I believe, provides the best chance for kids to get the only thing that really makes them healthy individuals that stay out of trouble and graduate from high school, THEIR FAMILY.
What the Early Childhood Coalition is really measuring is families,because what they are measuring is all children who go to preschool. Children who go to preschool have, by and large, educated involved parents who want the best for their children. Naturally, more of these chldren graduate from high school and do not become criminals.

UGLY GOVERNMENT CONTROL IN OUR SCHOOLS
When Jeb Bush says he doesn't believe in top down control and then supports Common Core - he is either ignorant or he is lying - you choose. Jeb must know that it takes only the smallest Federal Grant or program to infiltrate our schools. Right now our school superintendents don't breathe in or breathe out without checking their direction from the government.
All the rules from the Federal Government go to the state offices of public instruction and are directed by the state superintendent (who directs the state school board). These bozos( the school district superintendents) wouldn't be able to run a school district at all without their directions on everything they do. Policies are aligned with state law. NOTHING is local at all.
If parents don't like something -like say the new sex education standards- tough. Oh they can protest. They can have meetings where 500 people get up and speak. They can be the overwhelming majority. So what? Nothing changes. You might as well just stay home and not waste your time. The rules and programs have already been set by the U.N. and all their chummy bureaucrats that are directed by special interest groups in Washington D.C. Bureaucrats that have never taught a day in their life are running your schools. Your voice means nothing.
If you feel like you are living in a dictatorship- you are. I don't recommend giving up, but before you can change something you need to admit its realities.
I just came across some notes from the Masters program I took. God speaks in many ways- it was providential. What the notes were talking about was curriculum. The professor was giving the definition of curriculum. It said curriculum is the content of what you teach in each subject. So, is Jeb Bush saying Common Core is not dictating content? Is he saying all these textbooks that are aligned to Common Core have no content? Is he saying all these Smarter Balanced and Parcc tests that all the teachers are teaching to do not test content? REALLY? Jeb, do you think at all or are you just completely controlled by the globalist big corporatists that give you all your money?
I read a fair amount of History and I've never heard of a dictatorship that did not rely heavily on PROPAGANDA. That's right, as the dictatorship grows so does the PROPAGANDA TO CONTROL THE MASSES. So, the propaganda line is that Common Core is just standards. Yes, teachers are forced into Professional Learning Groups and their complete insrtuction and instructional day is controlled by programs and tests and this is just "standards". The Parents' voice is wiped out and this is just "standards".
The Common Core "Standards" line is as phony as the global warming line. These people want to control you and everything around you. We still have the vote. The powers that be want you to believe any attempt to make our elections clean is "stopping people from voting". Oh yes, you are a racist. MORE PROPAGANDA TO CONTROL YOU!! Registering people on the street and write in voting has one purpose- easier to cheat and control the ballot box. If people on the right side of the aisle stand up for their cause "they just aren't compromising". Yeah right, kind of like the Obama Care vote that had not one single Republican vote. Where did the left compromise?
I'm not afraid of Donald Trump or any other Republican that will stand up and tell the truth. We need people that are not cowed by all this propaganda. It's like the emperor has no clothes. Say the truth and be fearless and you will find out how weak the left really is. Their programs, for the most part, are just plain stupid. We need to take our freedom back. We don't have to listen to and follow the socialist left.
It's way past time for the large majority of these government departments and grants to end. The old joke about if you want eternal life just become a Federal program is true today, but if we want our freedom back it must not be true tomorrow. We're not a country that, except for the American Revolution and the Civil War, solves its internal disputes with violence. We can solve this one without violence too. Vote for real LEADERS that will stand up and face down the PROPAGANDA MACHINE. Then support that person - period. Put the interests of freedom above your personal greed and the leftist monsters will melt away like throwing water on the witch. The left bets you won't - prove them wrong. Please.

TIME TO STOP THE ACLU
The ACLU ( American Civil Liberties Union) is having a heyday in our schools. Their latest victory is having a school district in Nebraska be stopped from having teachers sign a loyalty pledge to the United States of America. Their reasoning is that teachers have free speech!! Seriously - teachers can say anything they want in the classroom? Really ACLU? Who can say anything they want at work - anywhere anytime?
If you work for a company can you tell customers that your company is a bad company? Can you tell customers that the product is bad and they should shop somewhere else? Can you tell customers off? The answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT!! Can you share company secrets? NO!! The answer is that when you are at work your time belongs to your employer and during that time your speech is controlled by that employer.
Does the ACLU think that teachers can say anything they want at school? Can they insult children and their families? Can they use vulgar language? Do they have no responsibility to be a good role model? How does the ACLU get away with this nonsense?? Obviously teachers do have a code of conduct and control over their speech at school.
My son is quite a sports enthusiast. We were watching a baseball game the other night and he began to talk about what makes a good team. What a team needs is BUY IN. Yes indeed- if you want your players to work together and to play their best they must have LOYALTY TO THEIR TEAM!! What about the children of this nation? How can we expect them to love their country and become good citizens when they have NO BUY IN?
The bigger question is why do we allow the ACLU to take this position of power? It is time to stop the ACLU. I for one am not ready to surrender to this horrible self serving organization that is always looking for a payday by destroying this nation. They have long ago lost any credibility they ever had to protect anyone's civil liberties.
Last night I watched a movie about Stalingrad and how they fought off the Germans through a winter of terror, bombing and embargos that tried to starve them. The people won because no matter how bad thngs got they did not stop fighting back. I'm sure the American people can fight back too. This is a great nation and will coninue to be inspite of all the efforts of organizations like the ACLU.
We will teach our children to love this country and we will overwhelm the illegal immigrants who will vote for people like Barack Obama who hates this country. We will vote for good people who will lead America to greatness - both in Washington D.C. and in our cities and on our school boards. America - all we need to do is to stand up and fight back. The ACLU is really very weak - they are a bully who counts on intimidation. Vote for people who love this country and they will appoint Federal judges who love this country. The ACLU will fold like a tent.
