1. I just think that if you're going to compare the public schools to the Taliban forcing radical Islam on people, you should be able to say you did something about it when it comes to your own kids.

You simply attempt to redirect the conversation to my faults, rather than address the Republicans' dishonor and ineffectiveness. It is not those few parents that are willing and able to provide more for their children that are the problem. It is the effect of that indoctrination on the vast majority, who have no time or no money to invest into their children. That is the fault of the indoctrinators, not the parents, and the Republicans are complicit in that regard, at least by their inaction.

2. Some do, others whine. Which group do you fit in?

For the record, I paid for up to 7 years of Christian education for my four children, until illness caused me to be unable to provide it financially. Tuition for four children in a Christian school is no small commitment to the principles involved.

But I also know the other side of that coin. My children are in public school because I literally have no other choice. In my experience, your position is high handed and critical of those who can do no better. A poor position to stand upon, for what it is worth.

I stand by what I wrote, and I'm the last person to let either party off the hook for the condition of public schools.

You're the one who said we were talking about your kids.

So are the Dems, so be sure and get one elected President this fall and pat yourself on the back for being a good citizen.

Good for you. Maybe you should have said that when I first asked what you had done about it.

Actually, you're the first person I've criticized on this issue, and I did so because you're (a willing to put Barack Obama in charge of my friend's lives and (b quick to direct the conversation to the inadquacies of pols rather than defend the silliness of your abdication as a citizen.

I wish you well, but at least those kids of yours have a Dad. I have friends who will be commanded by a military-hating moron if you get your way and their kids may welcome them home in a box. I'm not going to be able to dig deep enough to find respect or sympathy for people who are going to make that reality more likely because of some ideological spat.
