The reasons to homeschool just keep piling up.  It’s become the case that the public education system are turning into a Gestapo-like body of petty tyrants.

You’ll note that I included this with a #terrorism hashtag?  That wasn’t a typo.  The intent of this school official is nothing more than an attempt to use state sponsored fear to get his way.  There may not be the horror of the dead bodies, but philosophically this guy is not better than an ISIS terrorist.

Kurtz is right, I believe in some respects, however, I think it is far from over.  Progressive multi-generational strategy of dumbing down the children combined with indoctrinating them in progressive ideology was, in fact, their best chance of success.  However, I think it will likely fail in the long run for several reasons.

Mike Huckabee finds the Supreme Court to be not all that supreme « Hot Air

My_Trusty_Gavel“For God’s sake, it isn’t the Supreme Being. It is the Supreme Court.”

I am not a Mike Huckabee fan at all.  He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing as far as I’m concerned.  In this case, however, he is absolutely correct.  In fact he doesn’t go far enough, in my opinion.  He forgets that appointment to the Supreme Court is not without oversight.  The justices – and the justices of its subordinate courts – are all subject to review, impeachment and subsequent removal by Congress.

To put it bluntly… all the angst about judicial activism and legislating from the bench?  The blame for that lies 100% with Congress.  They have the power to end it any time they choose.

You’re 45% more likely to be murdered in de Blasio’s Manhattan #tcot

Much the same going on in Chicago and we all know about Baltimore, since it continues to be in the news.  The most amazing thing is the number of Democrats who will try to blame guns when the reality is that this kind of violence seems to follow progressive policies around like the plague.

Now that’s something I’d like to see… a study investigating the coincidence between violence and Democrat policies.  Sadly, I doubt anyone will have the guts to do such a study.

Reading Bedtime Stories and A Loving Family Is An Unfair Advantage

political-correctness2This may seem like a bad dream, but if this story, Is having a loving family an unfair advantage?, doesn’t make it clear how insidiously evil the whole social justice and fairness movement is, then I think there may be not hope for you.

Yes, you read it right.  Fortunately, he considers banning bedtime stories “would be too big a hit at the core of family life.”  But he’s all for banning parents having any say in their child’s education in the name of “fairness.”  If you don’t believe the whole point of the culture war – whether education, gay rights, stay-at-home parent, religion, etc. – isn’t the destruction of the family, then you need to wake up.

I noticed that the author’s last name is Swift.  I wonder if he is related to Jonathan?  Of course, Jonathan Swift’s modest proposal was satire.  This is not.

Starnes: Conservatives Blast CBS News for ‘Anti-Christian Bigotry’

Something for which we all need to be aware.  Christian persecution may not have reached the point of stoning and crucifixion, as it has in the Middle East, but it is certainly happening here.

Greece orders raid on government coffers as cash dwindles – Telegraph

Greece orders raid on government coffers as cash dwindles – Telegraph.

As bad as this is for Greece, it is even worse for Progressive ideology.  Lady Margaret Thatcher had warned that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.  It seems that Greece is the first one to reach that point.

Will European or American Progressives learn anything from this?  Probably not.  Progressivism is a religion.  One that demands blind faith and a disavowal of evidence.  A religion of man, and in my opinion an atheistic one.  True, some s0-called Progressives may claim Christianity, but the truth is that they are going to have to choose one or the other.  Neither religion tolerates a sharing of loyalty or commitment.

Even more, the two religions are diametrically opposed to each other.  Christianity fundamentally supports the idea that man should be free to chose his own eternal destiny.  Progressivism supports the imposition of the will of the majority for the “greater good.”  The former enhances personal liberty the latter destroys it.  One leads to freedom the other to oppression.

True, Christians have been responsible for religious oppression and intolerance.  The very existence of my nation – America – is proof of that.  However, that is in violation of Christian tenants.  It’s not in support of its doctrine as it is in Progressivism.

Raul’s thoughts on Hillary announcing the obvious…

YoungRepublican[1]

“Fought children and families all her career.”  Typo? Or Freudian slip?  Proof that you can’t really kill Truth, after all?

For Conservatives this is probably the best thing that could have happened.  Jeb Bush’s chances just went down the toilet.  One can hope that he’ll get a dose of reality and take his name out of consideration and save us a lot of money beating him, but I think the odds are better for Boehner growing a pair.

Cruz, Walker and Paul have something better to campaign against than each other.  If those three, in particular, resist the pressure that will be put on them to engage in a Mexican firing squad, remember Reagan’s 11th commandment and rise above pettiness, one of them will be in the White House.

Progressives simply won’t get it.  Until it’s too late.  And the they’ll scream “not fair” until their faces turn blue.  Music to my ears.

What happens if she is doing so badly she decides to drop out, after the deadline to file as a candidate?  Will the Dems file a suit in court to get a replacement candidate?  Hope not.  They have the right to present a candidate, not the entitlement to do so.  If they want to screw the pooch this badly, they can live with their choice.

A Hillary candidacy is probably the best hope of a filibuster and veto proof Senate.  Tie the Presidential election and Senate election to wiping out Progressivism for our generation.

This also gives a very real opportunity to advance the job of cleaning out Progressives from the Republican party – especially in the House.  Conservatives ought to start vetting and grooming those candidates now.  With Boehner’s strong stand against Obama – not – Hillary is our best hope of making this his last term.  Or at least last term as Speaker.

And did I say Progressives simply won’t get it?
