“Under the same argument, he attacked any federal intervention in education policy.”
Is there ANYONE on this site that thinks “federal intervention in education policy” has helped our kids? ANYONE?
“It did not matter if the majority of Americans disagreed with this worldview. According to Bozell, American progress depended not on regular people applying their “average intelligence” to the day’s problems. What moved society forward was “the brilliance and dedication of wise individuals” who apply “their wisdom to advance the freedom and well-being of all of our people.” “
If enough of a “majority of Americans” have a problem with the worldview of our founders, then they can simply AMEND THE CONSTITUTION to permit whatever they demand. It has been done dozens of times already.
The country WAS NOT supposed swing with whatever direction the wind blew on a particular day.
“More than 60 percent of the American electorate opposed Goldwater and gave Democrat Lyndon Johnson a supermajority to pass the Great Society legislation that expanded the New Deal.”
NO REPUBLICAN was going to win in 1964, a year after the death of Camelot. It wasn’t that they opposed Goldwater, it was that they weren’t in the mood for hard-ball politics...not then. But they were in 1980 and they seem ready heading towards 2016.
“Cruz has vowed to repeal “every word of the Common Core,” a vow that has perplexed observers who point out that Common Core is a set of standards voluntarily adopted by states rather than a law”
It is NOT VOLUNTARY once money is dangled (as was the case with Common Core, called “Race to the top” - part of the Obama ‘stimulus’), otherwise we wouldn’t have laws against BRIBERY.
So let’s END THIS charade about Common Core being “voluntarily” adopted by the states - THEY WERE BRIBED, and most governors, even most IDIOT REPUBLICANS took the bait.
“Cruz’s stance reflects the original insistence of Movement Conservatives that the federal government must stay out of education policy.”
Cruz might want to hire this entity if it keeps spouting his campaign pledges to end federal involvement in education.
The idiots at Salon have their heads so far up their own asses they can not see clearly.
There is one person soley responsible for the push of America to the right and that is Barack Obama.
His constant lies, his disdain for America, the damge he has done to our economy our society and our place in the world has galvanized millions of Americans to see that we get back to what America can be.
“This was a suicidal strategy for a party trying to prove that it can govern”
It was SO SUICIDAL that the Republicans “Kicked a Little Ass” in the 2014 election (to borrow a term from Bush Sr.). If only the Republicans would commit ‘suicide’ in that fashion more often.
” These are the people Cruz disdains as “the mushy middle.”
The “mushy middle” has given us 18 TRILLION IN DEBT, a DOUBLING of Food Stamp recipients, less people in the labor force than ever (as a percentage), a military that is weaker than we were prior to WW2.
This entity may like the “mushy middle”. I certainly DO NOT.
So says George Soros.
And that ladies and gentleman is who is teaching your kids
So in other words, voting for the conservative even if he supposedly can’t win is the winning strategy.
And that ladies and gentleman is who is teaching your kids
The usual rabid left copy and paste hate spewage.
If you want to know who our best possible choice for president is, just look to see which of our candidates the left vilifies most.
For 2016, there’s no doubt it’s Ted Cruz.
Ted Cruz. Accept no substitute.
Shut it down. Shut down the IRS, the Dept of Educ, the EPA and the TSA for starters.
Any time they say “Goldwater” they are pissing their pants thinking “Reagan”... This is a good thing, there is not one pair of clean underwear in any given group of democrats when the topic of “Ted Cruz” comes up.
I didnt read one line of the article because I don’t read the shit published by the likes of “Salon” and “Huffington Post” or any other left-wing, journalistic rag. The headline reaffirms the fact that Ted Cruz has them scared out of their perverted minds.
When I see an article title like this one, before I click, I try to guess the source.
This one was pretty easy to guess.
When you put the core comment in context, it shows how perverse they are in their fear. "Oh noze! Dey wants to make us whole and helfy agin!"
