Seeing as how I generally admire Mrs. Shafly, I'm pretty disillusioned to find out that she doesn't know what form of government our Founders actually set up for us. Guess she learned THAT in one of those "teachers colleges".
Gore (to his advisors at the DNC): "I TOLD YOU SONSABITCHES THAT WE SHOULD HAVE PICKED SOMEONE WITH A SIMPLE NAME LIKE KERRY TO BE MY RUNNING MATE !!!!"
I can almost excuse the Hispanics if they're recent immigrants and not too fluent with the language, but why the Blacks?
Guess the social engineers figure if they repeat that mantra often enough and can get others (read: school children) to repeat it, then that will somehow make it so.
Just one more in a long line of reasons that we pulled our children out of the government indoctrination centers two years ago. I was spending more time every evening UNteaching them the wrong information that had been inparted during the school day than I do home schooling them now!
Stop cheering me up!!
Please?????
I've known a lot of people who read English very well but couldn't speak it. Unfortunately, too many of them were T.A.s in college....
Schlafly said this problem has come back to haunt the Democrats, some of whose constituents cant speak English and were not able to read that controversial butterfly ballot in Florida in the 2000 presidential contest.
Hoist by their own petard. If they can't read they can't vote straight. If they can read, they're more likely intend to vote GOP or 3rd party.

The opposite would be equally true., The main difference is that the Libertarian premise is natural to human nature compared to the Democrat premise. The Libertarian premise stresses self-responsibility and thus less illiterate Libertarians than illiterate Democrats that shun self-responsibility in favor of government being responsible for the individual.
Okay, I've made an observation. Who's going to be the first to bash the Libertarians. Have at it. I'm not even a Libertarian.
