Tommy, you spin me right round, baby, right round….

The Tea Party aren’t in favor of eliminating education, just the FEDERAL control of education, which only brings pennies back for each dollar that is spent by the states.  Wouldn’t education be better and more efficient if it was controlled at the local level, where every situation is unique to the local children in the state/school district?

The Department of Education is not education. genius. It’s a big, bloated, ineffective, wasteful bureaucracy that has yielded no improvement in education whatsoever.

Communities can run their schools without bouncing their money off Washington and getting it back with One Size Fits All mandates.

And Tommy thinks that Dems ARE in the mainstream of America? Really? Has he seen every poll the shows TWICE as many Americans identify as conservative VS. liberal.

I wonder: why did the Education Secretary say the best thing to happen to Louisiana government run schools was Hurricane Katrina?  I suppose politics takes precedent over the children for liberals, but the truth slips out on occasion.

It must suck for liberals to know they won’t be able to run on Obama’s policies and record to win.  Instead, they have to lie about their opponents and hope American’s are too stupid to catch on.

A Democrat’s worst nightmare is an informed voter.

Yeah, yeah, yeah….  the overwhelming majority of Americans support big bloated government and deficits right up to the moment that we can no longer borrow money and any further printing of money will cause immediate price changes in our stores…  we can look forward to saving money by doing our shopping in the early morning hours as prices will double by the afternoon…  it has happened before and if we do not change our course it will happen again.  

brillohead burton still clamoring to gain relevance…

Did T.C. notice that the totally inconsequential, irrelevant Burton ‘s Priorities scam was smacked around by reporters today ?

If you hear him talk you would recognize that if anyone is anti-education it is Bill Burton.  He is just thankful for affirmative action.

Burton? Is that Anglicized from “Bashir”?

Is there a single person in the US who is against education? There are probably more pro-slavery people. It’s a stupid way to frame an argument.

What people are against is basically saying black folks fail because of white folks and then throw more money at a problem that doesn’t exist. I can put a splint on the leg that’s not broken til doomsday and it’s not going to help the leg that is broken just because it’s monstrously impolite to say that leg is broken.

Black culture is a culture of failure when it comes to education. They don’t make rap videos about kids hanging out in libraries. I am monstrously impolite – it’s called reality. Get with it or continue to send buckets of money into the sun.

Whack them Baggers Bill! Whoot Whoot!
Another Christopher Classic!

In other news, the sun WILL rise tomorrow and the sky is blue. Unless of course you are a leftist debating a conservative, then the sun may not rise and the sky is a shade of amber.

Also, have you heard about the mayors clamoring for federal money? Let me guess, all Democrats right? Only 99%, gotcha!

Yes Tommy YES!!!!! The tea party is anti-education. Duh. You two victimized idiots need to cry to your mommas – because if your investigative journalism pans out, your two mommas obviously toed the tea party line

Love the leftist spin. If the right opposes any big government program and prefers local control, according to the left they hate the thing the program is supposed to help. 

Don’t want government funding for abortion = woman hater. 
Don’t want government giveaways funding green energy boondoggles = pro-pollution planet hater. 
Don’t think government should be meddling in your kid’s diet = child hater. 

The left likes to throw around the word “nuance” as if they knew what it meant, but they insist on distilling disagreements over the role of government into the most rudimentary, illogical and nonsensical terms possible. Tommy Christopher is possibly the worst offender in all the media.  

Idiot Burton.  Where does the Tea Party do other than support public education for Americans?  They do oppose the full control of education by Obama and his Cronies, including you.  They do fear that your supporters (liberals) want complete control of all education and it’s curriculum.  But only long-term welfare recipients will remain on your team…

To Mediaite:
Why do y’all even publish  this Liberal-Looney-Tunes Sh*t?

Someone needs to ask this LEFTIST IDIOT why DIM LIBS aren’t supporting OBAMO’s ‘JOBS BILL.’ I’ll tell you why. First, they want people on welfare and food stamps…not jobs. Second, this isn’t a JOBS BILL…it’s a TAX INCREASE BILL, and DIM LIBS know that voting ‘Yes’ on an obvious TAX INCREASE bill will be suicidal to them in an election year.

Haha…OBAMO cannot blame Republicans for holding this up; his own peeps are doing that all by themselves.

tittyboy, just because you are a Democrat or Independent, doesn’t mean you are a liberal….dumbass.

Anyone who votes with the Party of Karl Marx, Nancy Pelosi and Barak Obama is a liberal.

Eliminate the Department of Education.  Return control and funds back to the states and local boards.  After 40+ years the federal government has proven it can’t teach out children. 

Federal control of education is not a good idea, then there’s no room for differences in education, and there should be.

HAY, BILL “THE COMMUNIST BUTTHEAD”  BURTON!!!!! THEY ARE NOT ANTI-EDUCATION (YOU FREAK’N LIEING XXX)!!!!  ONE OF THE PLANKS OF THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO IS: “GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF EDUCATION”. The Constitution gives no power to the federal government to control education. Federal/central government funding of ANYTHING always leads to government control. Education should be left   to the States or The People (See the 10th. Amendment). 

I have read the posting, and I agree the write up of the article is poor.  Everyone supports education; they just have issues on how it is delivered.  Having education controlled by local states creates different standards of eduction across each state. 

To stay competitive internationally we need a universal system state to state with minimum set standards.  These universal standards would allow students to move anywhere in the country and be on track with other students.  It would make the process of transferring schools flawless and easy which would ensure a student stays on track for graduation.

Both Liberals and Conservatives are attempting to solve the situation in the wrong manner. They want rigid procedures and federal control.  Republicans want local control which will most likely create only local standards.  The solution is to have the rigid standards; however, the procedures to meet the standards should be flexible so that the region that implements the procedures does it a way which is beneficial to their students.

Every one is concerned with budget cuts in education; We should look for
ways to make our money work more efficiently without damaging the
effectiveness of education. This would allow money to be better spent
and allocated.

in reply to John W Robin.  There were several times congress, presidents, and the supreme court did things they did not have constitutional powers to do for example: the doubling the size of the united states.  The creation of the first national bank. ect   read the NECESSARY AND PROPER CLAUSE of the Constitution.

Someone, said that twice as many people identify as conservative than liberal.  Show me the statistics, and explain how a liberal won the presidency.

Change from: They want rigid procedures and federal control.

Change to: Democrats want rigid procedures and federal control.
