IMHO, the problem does not begin with the words “Santa Claus”, but rather with the words “Head Start”.

You are correct! The problem is; The Liberals flock to these programs. They feel that they are obligated to provide the children with a moral compass. Their moral compass. Instead of giving the kid’s a leg up by teaching the children to read and write, prior to entering academia, they chose to indoctrinate instead. If Conservatives were to volunteer, and teach/mentor these children, we would have a better program, and healthier children.

It really burns my chaps when they allow displays of Mexican flags in schools, then send children home who proudly display the American flag. Sorry, American school means that the American flag is the only one that shall be displayed. The Pope while a Cardinal, said in 2001; (paraphrasing) “ It is the responsibility of the host nation to welcome immigrants and recognize their plight. Show compassion. It is also the reponsibility of the immigrant to accept the culture and traditions of the host nation, and to faithfully practice those traditions.” I agree. I’am certainly cappable of showing my fellow man compassion. I only ask for a moderate amount of respect in return.

I spent 14 months in Iraq. The Iraqies worked on some of the bases. In order for them to do so, they were subject to what amounted to a strip search, Hijab and all. They gladly complied. Often removing their Hijab, and opening it up, without be asked to do so. They understood the rules, and simply wished to work. Yet, here, we are required to defer to their traditions and repect their culture; i.e. drivers license pictures, security, the free display of christianity, etc... NO!!!!! Don’t like it leave. As for those immigrants who love this country and respect our nation’s traditions, I stand shoulder to shoulder with you, and would love to experience some of your culture.

Agree 100%. Another worthless taxpayer funded program that produces no viable positive results. However, it does make those pos social workers feel good about themselves and how they are forcing those evil rich taxpayers to fund a program for the less privileged. And they get to tell the poor parents how much to government is doing for them and their children!
