Proof? Can you read, hear, see, smell?? Kooky and ignorant?? This is part of the reason why I have not been posting. It was one of your own, Bobby Jindal who said " we have to stop being the stupid party" It was Republicans in taxas the introduced legislation to ban the teaching of "critical thinking" THINKING! And WE are kooky and ignorant. Look in the miror. This level of discourse is not worth my time.

Do you seriously think you are not taking Jindal out of context? If you, you've lost a lot my respect - up until now I thought you were serious, just misguided.

Although unaware of the specfics of the "critical thinking" being banned in Texas, let me tell you a simple reality - during the years my sons were in school I had the experience of having them attend public school in 3 states - NY, Texas and California. Heads and shoulders - Texas provided better education.

Meanwhile - if you are going to talk about education, how can you ignore the public education in places like Newark, Camden, Philly, Chicago - all places totally controlled by liberal Democrats and all unable to educate the majority of their students.

Taxas? LOL. (they have no state taxas in texas) {LOL back}

Yeah, every party has one or two that make ignorant statements, so what? {GOP has the lions share. Remember Tod Aikins, Michelle Bachman and "I am not a witch" Christine Oconnor to name just a few} <<OMG, what about the daily stupidity of Biden? How about Jesse the jew hater Jackson? Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are two of the most stupid commenters, ever. And, who can forget Hillary and her "Why does it matter now" in response to her and Barry lying about Islamic extremists being behind the Benghazi debacle, and the murder of US citizens. Don't forget her and Barry both lying publicly about claiming it was about that ridiculous movie.>>

You dont post because i find something so ridiculous that I cant find the words so i use "kooky"? I hear your team call repubs racist all the time (you, yourself do as well), yet the proof in the news daily as well as history shows its your side, and because i voice this opinion, you don't post anymore? Dude, you sent me here. You post all of the time things that are not flattering to anyone not of your party, yet when i do, you get disgusted and quit posting? How old are you?{ How many time do I have to say it-history is history! This is now, deal with it. I don't post because I have other priorities-a life after blogging.I'm 65 yrs old....why} << well, because you sometimes sound like an 8 year old who got his feelings hurt, and is going to go play in his own sand box>>

You think i'm misguided because i differ from you on politics, yet when i post stuff that proves my point, you claim i'm not serious? {Do I?} <<Yes, you do!>>

And why for the gawds' sake would you point out your own party's shortcomings in education, then accuse me of being not serious, and ignorant? {????}
<< A quote from the Chardo............"Meanwhile - if you are going to talk about education, how can you ignore the public education in places like Newark, Camden, Philly, Chicago - all places totally controlled by liberal Democrats and all unable to educate the majority of their students." SO, totally controlled by democrats, and unable to educate.......you dont think that was pointing out your own party's shortcomings?>>

I think maybe you need to calm down a bit, dont get so much hate in your day. Even though you are the opposite, and in my opinion wrong, doesn't mean we people of the right party (that has a nice ring to it, "right party")are not for you of the wrong party being successful in life.{I'm very calm, serene really and hate nobody- and I'm not agaist anyone's success} << OK, then we'll let it slide for now, but dont let it happen again.....

Chardo, you cant quit. I forbid it. I have come to enjoy seeing the world from a lefty on the east coast. we will most likely be opposite for ever, but that doesnt mean we cant learn from each other. Learning isnt believing the other guys opinions, its learning why they think as they do, and what might be the same, just hidden behind bullshit party politics.
