It is insane. And terribly dangerous. Muslims have now seen firsthand how much more desirous it would be for them to have a Democrat in the WH. We have enough Muslims in this country it could affect a close vote.
These people never remember history. Did they never read about the Crusades?
Well, given their ages, they should have read about the Crusades. But did you read the other day that British teachers aren’t going to teach about the Holocaust anymore? It might upset the Muslims. My files on how the West is caving grows every day.
I just heard on FNF that elementary kids are having sex in the classroom when their teachers are not there. I need to listen to this one!
Nancy Pelosi is drunk w/POWER and is an ILLEGAL spokesperson for America.
California Rep. Tom Lantos stated the Drunk's intention out loud when he said, "We have an alternative Democratic foreign policy."
Janey, depending on your vast gardening knowledge so I know if I can take the plastic off my tulips!
I continue to beat the drum ...... This experiment in government may have finally found its fatal flaw. If this is what this electorate is going to elect, we very well may be seeing the end of the Last Best Hope of Planet Earth.
Directo = Director
I had heard that about grammar mistakes. Kids taught this way can expect to flip burgers for a living because corporations will not be hiring them.
USA Today did a series on kids who are taught under the self esteem method — 2+2 can equal anything you want, etc.
The managers interviewed from Fortune 500 companies were asked about how these college graduates (the first in the country taught under these new methods) were doing on the job.
The results were hysterical. Managers reported that when they pointed out to the new employees that their math was wrong in some report, the typical response was “That’s your opinion”.!!!!!!!!
When said managers gently corrected employees, there was typically crying involved and Human Resources had to come in to arrange counseling. And this, my friends, is the future of America.
And this is why I think America’s greatest days are behind her. Yes, things are chugging along economically rather well in the country right now, but that’s due to change. The Democrat’s budget contains the biggest tax increase in our nation’s history.
And if Hillary gets in office, national healthcare will be a given and then the country won’t be able to afford to have a first class military. Just like the EU, we’ll be spending our money on entitlements rather than national security.
It’s making me quite glad I’m middle aged.

I meant to say, Blessed Good Friday and Happy Easter to you as well, HOB. After church Sunday we’re taking my parents 2.5 hours north for dinner at my sister and bil’s house. He’s a gourmet cook so I’m always glad when I don’t have to cook for him :-)
Good morning, C.M. I wonder if there is ANYTHING we, as a people, can legally do to remove this idiot from office permanently? Of course, the answer is probably 'no'.
Are crocs the plastic shoes with holes along the sides?
Good Morning All. It’s cool here but beautiful. I think it’s about 55 degrees.
Thanks prairie for the list of donors to the view.
There is some truth to teachers not marking errors because they don't know grammar. For instance, I once had another English teacher interrupt my class and wanting me to tell what was correct about a grammar problem that had come up in her class.
And then some teachers are just too lazy to go to the trouble of marking errors. (I've actually heard some of them admit this.) Some don't do so because they fear parents complaining to the principal for giving their children low grades for "unimportant things" like grammar. (I often heard the complaint about me as being "too hard".)
Also due somewhat to remnants from the Contract with America and some of the Republicans working hard in Congress the past few years.
And if Hillary gets in office.....
'Nuff said....that will signify the final chapter on America and its total demise.
It’s making me quite glad I’m middle aged.
As am I....also glad I don't have any young children that are going to have to face this.
(See my tagline and kneemail God!)
Barbara probably gets good money to not challenge her just like Rosie is paid good money to spout her anti-Americanism and conspiracy theories.
That token "conservative" (whatever her name is) on that show is a farce.
Yes, saw your tagline the other day. Good one!
Yes. Altho I think I would describe them more as Rubber rather than Plastic.
Whatever they're made of, you are correct about 'what' they are.
Parents like the ones you described get on my last nerve. Do they really think they’re doing their kids any kind of favor by trying to get teachers to be more lenient or are they just lazy? Maybe they should remember they won’t always be around to help their kids write resumes and reports and that grammar does count in the corporate world.
My dad had to hire some low paying help once and he told stories at the dinner table about the resumes. It was rather sad but one was pretty funny and I’ve never forgotten it. Under the line that sames “Sex”, some wanna-be employee wrote “as often as possible”. LOL
