“He sold us out on school vouchers to get a bill with Kennedy..”

I am really enjoying how the “no child left behind” bill is being touted as a great accomplishment by Kennedy. Yet, just a few short years ago it was considered a failure by GWB to the Libs.

However,

few of the people shouting

at these town hall meetings (or reporting on it on conservative talk radio and the internet)

would stand up and call for the immediate abolishment of the D.O.E.

(or any of the other federal departments that exist in clear violation of the tenth amendment).

BZZZZT.....

......Wrong!

This author didn't do their homework did they?

Very interesting viewpoint. I’m all for homeschooling and Christian schools myself.

Okay. I guess I'm one of those who frequently points out that the Department of Education is unconstitutional, which isn't quite the same thing as saying that public education within a State, under the auspices of that State is unconstitutional. Because it's not.

But the analogy between government education and government heathcare is a flawed one. Whether it is true or not, an argument can be made that forcing children to receive some basic education benefits the public at large as well as the individual child. No similar argument can be made that public benefit accrues from government run healthcare with the possible exception of programs intended to stop the spread of contagious diseases.

Big Government republican leaning Christians who are happy with expanding government, as long as someone pro-life positions (abortion, embryonic stem cell, Terri Schivo) like Bush is in charge

The Huckabee set.
