It is evident that the United States’ reduced literacy rates and proficiency ratings are a result of a failed education system. Not only are our children not improving academically, they are declining in many areas, particularly in the reading and math subjects. What is the answer to this problem? Two of the most common liberal responses are increased government funding and increased teachers’ salaries; just like everything else, “increased” government is the answer.  

First things first, is increased funding the answer? The Bush Administration has INCREASED funding for education over 40% since 2001! Does this mean George Bush supports education 40% more than Bill Clinton did? I don’t think so. This seems to be Bush’s attempt to disprove the liberal claim that all Republicans are “ANTI-education”, but the problem is that flat, and sometimes declining education rates have shown that Bush’s desperate ploy for education reform has failed. Who would have thought that increasing government control is not the solution to all of our problems? We have almost 50% more educational funding then we did 7 years ago and our children are not any less dumb! Why is this? Because CORRELATION does not guarantee CAUSATION.

Funding is NOT the problem, it is poor educators. The District of Columbia has the 3^rd highest per-child expenditure rate in the nation, spending $500 million a year, and the 8^th highest paid teachers. Guess what? Their student performance ranks lowest in the nation for 4^th and 8^th grade reading and math! Funding certainly has corrected their problem hasn’t it? Like I said, CORRELATION does not guarantee CAUSATION.

I think most people agree, even conservatives, that our educators need to be paid a fair & competitive salary. Currently, the national average is $42,000, which is for 9 months of mandatory work. This equals to $4,667 per month. Now don’t get me wrong, I am not trying to say that this is excessive, because I believe that educators are one of the most important ASSETS to our society. I am simply trying to debate that the typical leftist retort, “teacher’s are not paid enough”, is false. I also believe that if teachers’ salaries were much higher, we would have an even higher surplus of deficient educators. Why wouldn’t anyone desire this line of work if they got a soaring salary with a 9 month work year? If the average educator salary was say, $70,000, do you really think that our quality of educators would increase? No way. Individuals with caring, empathetic personalities that have a PASSION for schooling are who we want educating our children, not individuals whose solitary motivation is monetary.

Ideas for educational reform will come later…

How you answer this determines whether you are pro-life or pro-choice. If you don’t believe that abortion is murder then why wouldn’t you believe that a woman has a right to choose? If I wasn’t a devoted Christian and I didn’t believe that every child, inside or outside of the womb, had purpose, then I would be pro-choice as well. If you don’t believe abortion is murder, what would be the purpose in trying to outlaw or reduce the amount of abortions performed? This is not a matter of the government impeding on women’s rights, it’s a matter of individual morals & values.

How dare you say “Merry Christmas” during the Christmas season. Saying “Merry Christmas” is no longer an acceptable way to share your holiday cheer; but fear not, there are plenty of appropriate phrases that have been deemed acceptable by the liberal Language Police. “Joyous Agnostic Greetings”, “Merry Muslim Day”, and “Happy Christwanzakka” are just a few of the MANY holiday expressions you may scribe into your holiday handbook. Every December, the “Merry Christmas” diversity debacle ASCENDS to the surface and Americans must decide whether they are going to be on the Politically Correct or Politically Incorrect side of the playing field. 

Bill Clinton loves getting blown by brunette interns. WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, that is absurd! How dare you accuse him in such heinous and despicable means. He enjoys receiving welcoming stimulation resulting in a sudden INCREASE in contentment. (Doesn’t sound so bad does it?) That may seem pretty extreme, but this is how liberals would like us to communicate. They want us to mask our speech and language with metaphorical NONSENSE so that nobody’s feelings get hurt. When in favor of loony liberals, the 1^st Amendment need not apply.

A  WARNING to all movie directors and screenwriters. When creating your moving picture masterpiece remember two very important things. Before developing the content or writing the script, decide what culturally diverse characters you will implement and make sure you REFRAIN from using axiomatic stereotypes.  In action films, the “bad guys” must only be of Caucasian descent and if there is cigarette smoking those characters must only be “bad guys”. Next, If your film has a scene that is based in an office setting, you must have an equal ratio of male-to-female secretarial staff. Having only female secretaries and administrative assistants might expose you to a few face slaps from the repugnant women at the Feminist Majority Foundation. Now there is one exception to the stereotype rule. Feel free to use homosexuals in supporting roles or as secondary characters, because believe it or not, they prefer activity in the rear. (Hehe, my attempt at being P.C.) 

Novelists, journalists, plagiarists, BEWARE! Groups such as “Women for Male Castration” and “Females against Deodorant” are going to strip you of your God given ability to pen your paper, unless of course you adhere to stringent regulations. Forget about using “he”, “him”, or “his” ever again, unless of course you throw in a “she” or “her” afterwards. Any other use of sex-related pronouns would be considered obtrusive and chauvinistic. It doesn’t matter if you are writing about Abe Lincoln. Doesn’t this sound way less sexist?  “He or she brought African Americans out of slavery”. Why should you use neutral language? Because even though it was Abe that abolished slavery, it very well could have been Abel, especially if white women didn’t have to endure decades of slavery as well (as those gangly feminists see it).

Liberals are fine with jamming scissors into babies’ skulls and then sucking their brains out with a vacuum. HERESY! We are Pro-Choice, not Pro-Abortion. I mean come on, no one is actually FOR abortion. Now, THAT is heresy. If I was okay with someone jamming scissors into your microscopic liberal brain, would you be hesitant to say that I am Pro-DEATH? (Hmm, maybe I’m not Pro-Life.) Liberals’ excuse for supporting baby genocide is that they are protecting women’s “rights”. Man, I wonder if I injected a poisonous solution into Margaret Sanger’s (founder of Planned Parenthood) stomach, I would be exonerated for protecting the “rights” of Republicans.

You know, I better retract my statement that Political Correctness is Killing America….Political Correctness is nullifying America’s future viability.

Let’s raise taxes so we can better this country. Well Mr. Flaming Liberal, your government and its inefficient spending, is going to make it very difficult to make much of a difference. Welfare is the perfect example.  Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" programs were supposed to stamp out poverty in the U.S. Well, In 2001, 35 years later, the poverty rate is at the same level.  Wow, what a SUCCESSFUL program! The problem is, there is no oversight over government spending, particularly with these social programs. The underclass has been desensitized to believe that welfare is their "right”, and these welfare checks are being thrown at them without questions being asked.  Oh, and the busiest time for LIQUOR SALES & DOPE DEALING is when the welfare checks come in. I am glad our tax dollars are providing for such a great cause. I am not going to agree that it’s right for the Government to TAKE & WASTE more of our hard worked dollars. Sorry, I guess that makes me an INSENSITIVE jerk.

There is no accountability for this kind of spending, and you can't count on the GAO. The only time they step in is when there is fraudulent activity, and they hardly ever audit federal expenditures. There is no government agency that actually watches this money! If the government was EFFECTIVELY using our tax dollars to alleviate suffering & protect our families, I'd shut up, but there are trillions of dollars that are just floating around without supervision. Now, there are the congressmen, but they allotted the money in the first place, and they don't want the people to know that they are wasting this disgusting amount of their money.

Our wonderful government takes 46 cents on the gallon of our gasoline and they take 58% of hard liquor sales. Oh, and would you like to heat your house? The Feds are going to nail you for 25 cents on the gallon for heating oil. Mr. Barack Hussein Obama, you want more money from us? Then stop FREAKING wasting it!

There needs to be a department that is solely dedicated to watching how our money is being spent. The problem is, the government doesn’t want us to know this. That would just take away too much of their power. OK, time for EXAMPLES: Hillary, Chelsea, & her entourage went on a 2 week jaunt to N. Africa. Of course, the Secret Service Expenses are not available to us, but it is estimated that the trip cost somewhere around 2.3 million dollars. Not too sure how this is possible but this is what David Walker of the GAO claims. Ain’t that some BULL.

During the Clinton Admin., 3 billion dollars went to Haiti and only 2 billion was accounted for. No one seems to know where the other billion went. Oh DAMN, I’ve looked in my wallet 3 times and I still can’t find that $20 bill I thought I had. Hmmm, I guess that’s not really comparing apples to apples. In the 8 years spent in the White House, Bill & Hillary spent $525 million of TAXPAYERS’ dollars for travel expenses. In Bill’s first 5 months out of office he visited 2 dozen countries and picked up $5 million in speaking fees. It sure can pay off to become president of the U.S. By the way, these are all rough estimates because we, as American citizens are not allowed to know where our hard earned MONEY is going. We have to work 3 out of the 8 hours in our work day to pay federal taxes, and I don’t know about you, but with “VOLUNTEERING” 3 hours every day, shouldn’t we be able to know where our “donations” are going to, or is this just a heretic question to ask?
