more education than money against those with more money than education
whoa whoa whoa!
Who is in favor of teaching phonics so that kids can actually read real books before first grade? Not liberals.
Who is in favor of teaching traditional algorithms such as long division and column multiplication? Not liberals.
Who is in favor of bring back the classical trivium of G Logic and Rhetoric? Once again, not the liberals.
The Left wants to dumb down education and the popular culture and they have the chutzpah to say that they are more educated?
G=Grammar
We need to continue on the Congressional front, win the Presidential race in 2014, and then totally destroy the academic infrastructure the democrat party has built with hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars over the past forty years. If we can do that along with putting an end to the fiction of issue specific tax-exempt foundations, we'll then be able to completely dismantle the democrat party once and for all they way it should have been destroyed after the Civil War.

What a flood of memories that photo brings up. We may never see a team that good again. Worked for President Reagan and General Haig at different times. Director Casey was old school WWII OSS.
IMO, he took a payoff like Brooks and Charles Johnson.
Once upon a time, the adults were in charge...
Things are different now, being lectured to by Frum has lost its appeal.
American politics as a class struggle between those with more education than money against those with more money than education:

Perhaps that’s a problem—look at this country— we are dead broke.
Maybe we NEED these people with less education and more money than we need people with more education and less money.
At least the people with less education and more money KNOW how to earn, save, invest etc...that’s JUST what’s needed.
We need people with more education, not less. But they need to be educated in free markets and real science.
“Not since Jimmy Carter handed the office to Ronald Reagan — arguably not since Herbert Hoover yielded to Franklin Roosevelt — had a president of one party bequeathed a successor from another party so utter an economic disaster as George W. Bush bequeathed to Barack Obama.”
And who “handed” Obama the mortgage meltdown? Was it those darn racist Republicans who didn’t want minorities to own homes ... or was it the Democrats who wanted people to own homes whether they could afford it or not?
And which way did Obama vote on the matter? Gosh, let me guess!
We really need to dispel the myth that the Republicans were the primarily architects of the financial meltdown. We need to remind people of which party FILIBUSTERED attempts to bring Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under control way back in 2005. Hint: it wasn’t the Republicans — but the public is almost completely unaware of that fact.
The public assumes that the Republicans were to blame because they were in power at the time. But the public in general is unaware of how the minority party can use the filibuster in the Senate to block the will of the majority. That ignorance is a huge problem for democracy.
Jeb is a moderate Too!
I don’t have a problem with education, I had a problem with his argument. He worships education and never mentions experience. All education isn’t spoon-fed by a university or found completely in books. Experience is a fine education.
I think what we could use most...are people who have good values and morals—the backbone to stay honest. People who put country first, not their pocketbooks or their political welfare and egos.
Personal experience isn’t enough because it is so limited. People have to study the experiences of many people, cultures and institutions throughout history in order to learn from their mistakes and successes.
Now what the academics do is forget the history, forget the experiences that were tested, tried and true and approach everything from a blank slate.
Frum is a Canadian lib poser.
When I hear Cheney speak... I know I am listening to an adult.
All we do is add and subtract. We do not understand advanced Ponzinomic Theory.
F=(L)+(P) ...when F=Failure...L=Liberalism... and P=Power
Frum is Canadian.
