Sigh. You bring to mind John Adams' observation that the Constitution was made for a moral people, no other. Which evidently a great many people are not these days. Which is how you get an Obama, and how you may get a Hillary. Or a RINO like Jeb Bush. It seems RINOS don't much care for the Constitution. They just want to win.
Jeb Bush's advocacy of Common Core is a case in point. It is completely blind to the fact that there is no constitutional warrant for federal government involvement in education. Yet Bush evidently doesn't see that as any kind of constraint on federal action in this area.
What properly should happen is the abolition of the federal Department of Education, and acknowledgement that education is a power retained by the States since Day One. Among other things, that would save us taxpayers a ton of money. Plus it would dis-employ a whole bunch of progressive educrats....
Thanks for writing, plain talk!
Yep. Well said. Somehow we need to persuade and influence “we the people” to vote for responsible governance. This will allow responsible conservatives to get elected instead of pandering RINOs and liberals. Without power and influence in the states and federal government conservatives don’t have much except a dream. And maybe that is enough for some people around here.
One can learn from the left’s tactics and strategies. They took over the educational systems and the MSM and slowly indoctrinated millions. We have to tackle root causes to persuade voters to our way of thinking. This will take a long time. The left is patient and understands this. So must we.
