Quick note here about what I heard today on the wonderful and enlightened network of MSNBC. The conversation was about education. The host was talking about SAT scores and how they differed among the races. As usual it boiled down to white privilege and that meant Blacks and Latinos were being discriminated against in this area. So the host visited several different notions of how study with high priced tutors helped the Whites immensely and since the minorities are always pitted against the rich whites in any discussion of education we always end up with household income due to white privilege is the only reason minorities can't achieve like Whites.
I suggest this is not the correct measure to use in judging this particular problem. There are many things involved in high SAT scores and good grades in school and nothing matters any more than the individuals own aptitude and their desire to succeed. That must go hand in hand with parental involvement but we must never overlook the fact that personal responsibility is still the key to greater success in education. The host and guests used every excuse imaginable to deny the real reasons why some of these kids aren't doing as well. Rather than making up all the excuses why not get on the parents ass to make their child behave while in school. Rather than bouncing around in the halls and raising all manners of hell have them act civilized and that means all of them Black, White, and Brown.
But oh no we don't want to hold kids to that one thing that actually matters and what is it? Common sense respect is the key but instead we make excuses for them and they take advantage of it. We want to give more money, fancy schoolrooms, the latest high tech tools and toys, and of course feed them, clothe them, bus them to school and them home, buy their books, doctor them and then baby them and let the kids express themselves (Code for run wild.) A lot of damn good all that does. Why not try taking a look around and see where that has gotten us to today. None of the things we see taking place in classrooms today would ever have happened in those classrooms from the 1900's on up through the 50's. Most all this crap started taking place in the 60's. We let our hair down back then and began the free love and drugs gone wild and abortion and quickie divorces with no responsibility. The excuses will never stop as long as we have a liberal train of thought rather than a view on life that says kids mind and adults rule. How about bringing God back into the picture? A moral point of view would go far in fixing the problems we face today. That won't happen because the liberals don't want God even in the public and especially not anywhere near the classroom.

Hype Vs Expectation
My God! I couldn't believe my ears this morning when Ms cutter a spokesman for the Obama campaign was talking to Up Chuck Todd on MSNBC. They were talking about the debates and she was going way out of her way to build up the expectations for Romney while pushing expectation for Obama down to about two below zero. She was saying, All first debates are won by the challenger. Romney is so much better at debating than Obama just on and on trying her best to lower the public expectations down to zero for Obama and move them up to about 90 for Romney.
They must be worried really bad about Romney if they are building him up that much. Also the importance of Ohio in this election has got to be kind of worrying for them, or at least I would assume that to be the case. Can you imagine what would go through the mind of those folks if this country goes to hell in a basket after they are the deciding vote for electing Obama? They would sorta be held responsible for putting him in office and probably wondering what the rest of the country would be thinking about them. I'm hoping they give serious thought about who will do good for the country versus who will do for themselves.

UN Lies
Our president stood before the UN yesterday and spoke and during that speech he gave the story about "The Video" being the sole reason rioting broke out in Libya and Egypt and also caused the death of Ambassador Stevens. How this man could come before the world and try to convince the world that some piss ant video nobody ever saw was responsible for all the rioting that took place in the Middle east and for the death of our ambassador is plain and simple, "Bull-Shit"
The rioting and deaths of ambassador Stevens and his entourage that took place over the eleventh anniversary of 9-11 was for that very reason, 9-11 and not because of some piss-ant movie nobody saw before the Obama administration started advertising it. This is hypocritical on the Obama administration to come out and lay blame on a movie rather than where it belongs for one reason only and that is so that the public and the world won't place the blame where it truly belongs. And it belongs right at the feet of President Barrack Hussein Obama and his entire administration.
If this country is so gullible to blindly accept the lies he's spreading then I suppose we deserve another four years of this crap. He does not impress me with the story and anybody with half sense and one eye-ball should see through this smoke screen. The media is being the main player in all of this because the media that most of the county deals with on a daily basis is the main street media broadcasting their lies 24/7 to a population not known for doing their homework. I am in hopes, even with the odds so heavily stacked in liberals favor, that somehow a movement down beneath the radar will soon begin to show itself and bring victory where no suspects.I also know should this election results fall to the left disaster comes much quicker.

choose right
I will be trying to make posts more often and to do that my posts will become shorter although I can't swear to it but however I will give it a go. Never have been able to nail that steady posting thing down for some reason. But to face facts it boils down to the main reason being probably sloth.
Election looks scary at times. I worry if Obama returns to office because I see him doing things which will radically alter the country along the lines of class. I just feel he and his team will create more strife and division between the classes which has become Dems and Repubs more than past days of aristocratic rule. Although this is the train of thought Obama and company want to infuse into society.
On the other hand if he loses I see the possibility of an Obama "Lame Duck" administration gone wild where he finishes up his term with a bunch of outrageous executive signings or other methods of changing laws that may be available to him.
So whichever way we end up whether it's an Obama win or loss there are going to be worries. One way of course scares hell out of me while the other way scares crap out of me. Maybe I'll feel better physically the latter way. But to solve the problem what needs to happen is we need lots of people need to let Mr Obama go back to teaching and organizing and that means we need to make the right choice.

film versus phrase
The president walks before the microphone
Good evening. Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children. That was part of the speech given by the President on the night of May 1st 2011. The country was of course very glad an end had come to the man whose deeds had brought such sadness and anger to a nation. Now perhaps the nation would go forward knowing we had recovered some of the dignity lost in the felling of those two towers.
Then the anniversary of another 9-11 comes about, but in the middle east this time, and another storm begins to erupt and our Embassies come under attack. This will again bring death to American civilians, riots will spread across their countries and our nation simply stands not knowing which direction to go, not knowing what action to take, and not knowing what message must be sent. The pundits rationalize the attacks with stories of films and Muhammad and how we need to repent. They say that maker of such trash brings heartache to all of us here in the US. Please forgive us we know how much it offends you all. But seems those plea went unanswered except to tell us, "screw you all while we show you some of our revenge". Keep begging America while we still kill and burn. It seems as if America just will not learn that strength is what they understand.
The president has been busy trying to stay in the white house, he seems to like it there. Has all the amenities even lots of games on the big screen. To stay in power he needs to show his bona fides and he does this through his words and others who speak so highly about his ability having brought down Osama Bin Laden. This is done quite often in many places and as I said not only his own words but those of his minions. I would be willing to bet a tremendous amount of money (if I had any) that the statement about him killing Osama has been heard and spoken many thousands of times paper, media both radio and TV supporters his VP "Osama is Dead GM is alive".
I would be more inclined to think the phrase, "GM is alive and Bin Laden is dead" has been heard and seen in the middle east more times than this film about Mohammad which is being blamed for all the rioting. In fact I would say the phrase about killing Bin Laden has been seen and heard a hundred times, no wait a thousand times more, than this poorly produced and insignificant film that insults and offends Mohammad. I would also be willing to bet something else is more to blame for the rioting than any film. How about a couple things like for instance, the Muslims' hatred of the West, the anniversary of 9-11 and then on top of those two things, the continuous boasting by the president and his administration about the killing Osama Bin Laden. Put these things together and it seems quite obvious to me that what's happening in the Middle East is not a hate filled film of Mohammad but something we should have been much better prepared to defend against.

escalation in crisis
Perhaps we don't need to condemn leadership too much but at the same time face up to some small facts that have played a roll in the incidents of the past few days concerning embassy assaults and deaths of American citizens. If memory serves me correct and it does, we just had an eleventh year anniversary of 9-11. A day which turned complacency on its head. Around the world terrorists have planned daily to find ways they can kill Americans and bring terror to as many people as possible. If it is through bombing, propaganda, intimidation, or any number of ways our enemies have thought about the number of ways they could bring destruction and turmoil to this country. Being this was an anniversary of 9-11 and every person with half a brain could imagine the possibility of an attack somewhere in the world against American interests. Why this administration did not plan ahead for these possibilities I cannot explain other than incompetence.
Now that things have taken place the administration seems to have taken shelter for this mistake behind words. not their words of explanation, encouragement, or warning of a reprisal against those responsible who would commit such crimes against America and its citizens. Instead what we have is words about Mitt Romney because he spoke out and said basically America needs to stop acting like wimps. This will continue and it will move into other countries with the same hatred and unless strength is shown it will get even worse.
