Not all of us can read.
I agree 99%, or thereabouts with JB on this one, but I do believe he mispoketh with the bit about McCain “paying the ultimate price”.
I won’t dwell upon it as it’s simple to THINK of what JB meant. McCain suffered tremendously at the hands of the North Vietnamese during his imprisonment, so I shine on JB’s statement as one of those “oops’” that happen to us all occasionally.
Well, they are products of the public school system. IMHO the two most long term destructive changes in my lifetime were the institution of teachers unions in schools, with the right to strike, and the requirement that teachers must have a special degree in eduction to teach. That ensured that schools would be run by overwhelmingly female teachers, who studied little but the latest liberal theories about eduction, and were generally lowest scoring students themselves. Most of the problems we see now go back to those two changes.

Current Communist Goals
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following “Current Communist Goals,” which she identifies as an excerpt from “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen:
[From “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen]
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament of the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand.
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use united force to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.
(If American voters were not so ignorant and lazy, the communist movement which includes the DNC and RINOs wouldn't stand a chance, but they do.)
I don’t think American voters are as stupid as this writer insinuates. A recent poll showed that less than 20% of Americans believe that high gas prices are the oil companies’ fault. And this is despite the recent charade investigation into ‘excessive’ oil company profits. Congress is no longer able to pin this one on Exxon. They may be taking the blame in the Fall.
Bachelor.
Bachelorette.
Yeah... there are more Stupid voters than a standard Bell curve can account for.
No they are not.
This Democrat Congress approval rating is less than 11%, lowest in history.
“Are American Voters as Stupid as Democrats Bank On?”
Yes, at least half of them. Proof? Democratic nominee, Barack Hussein Obama. Enuf said.
Well, consider that post-Monica Bill Clinton had something like a 66% approval rating. So you tell me.
That's why I never call it "Universal Healthcare." I always call it "mandatory government imposed healthcare rationing," which is more accurate, as can be easily demonstrated by looking at the experience of any country that actually has it.
So, how do we hunker down and protect ourselves on an individual basis? It looks like a majority is in the throes of the empty promise of free health care and is poised to inflict the socialist nightmare on us - a la Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.
I read here and there that Obama is 50% white and the other half is mostly Arabian.
I've read that he would not even qualify as full, half or perhaps even quarter black under the unfortunate but standard mathematical formula applied in the history of the South in the 1800's.
If this is true, and I'm just asking, posing himself as more black than he is and saying he would be the "first black president" is fraudulent and a lie.
However, I suppose everyone in the media is loathe to investigate, verify and disseminate any such information for fear the Obama offense team would crush to a pulp any "racist" daring to even touch the subject.

Are they stupid?
Clinton 1
Clinton 2
Any other questions?
They don't have time or care to research what the Drive Bys tell them about our situation. Take for example the gas price situation and the supply and demand issues. The public blames the GOP because they've been tied to the hips with the oil companies. These same oil companies spent a week in front of congress telling them they need to open up our reserves and make refinery building easier to get done. Who is the party holding this up? The big number of them are Democrats. But who gets the blame?
Part of this is our fault because we don't have anybody on our side they articulates the problems the Rats have created. The GOP is the stupid party.
Yes we are stupid. We don’t even understand why gas prices are so high.
“Are American Voters as Stupid as Democrats Bank On?
Lets hope not!
The bedrock upon which conservatism is founded is belief in the individual and a faith in the American people to get it right more often than not. If the American people stop getting it right, we are lost, because all we have are the government and the American people. We all know the government rarely gets it right.
In a word, yes.
