Can you feel the excitement? The Washington Post
reports that all the important Republicans have decided that Jeb Bush is going
to be our nominee in 2016. Phew, that’s a relief! If we had had a primary, we
conservatives who actually do all the working and voting for the GOP might have
had a say.
We sure can’t have that. In fact, this is the best news
since the Establishment’s choice, President McCain, was reelected in 2012! .........Jeb
Bush has been there at the forefront of the issues that matter most to
conservatives, like IRS targeting, attacks on religious liberty, executive
overreach, intrusive government surveillance, and gun grabbing....not publicly,
of course.....he’s working behind the scenes. But believe me, Jeb is absolutely
and resolutely for IRS targeting, attacks on religious liberty, executive
overreach, intrusive government surveillance, and gun grabbing at a much
slower pace than the liberals want.
So, what are his views on climate change, the greatest threat to mankind in the history of history? Well, I don’t know. Let me Google it right now as I write this! Well, the top link is a Politico article from April 23, 2013, titled “Climate’s Best Hope: Another Bush,” and it quotes the Florida environmental guy Jeb appointed as saying “I can see him coming around to some combination of a cap-and-trade program….” Er, uh, did I mention that Jeb speaks Spanish?
My
Take - I
saw one interview recently and the man is charming, smart and is totally
comfortable in front of a camera. He's also a master of logical fallacies and
misdirection when answering questions. He was asked about Common Core, so he
went about telling everyone there are (if I recall correctly) over 13,000
education systems in the country and presumed they were all failing the kids,
therefore something needs to be done.
Ok,
I'm willing to buy into the idea education overall is failing our kids, but
since that didn't really start happening to the degree it is today until the
federal government got involved and liberals totally dominated education, why
would we believe centralizing authority over public education in Washington's
hands would make it better?
Why
not look to see which educational systems are working, and encourage adoption
for those failing systems? Why not try
competition? That works in all other
fields, why would be believe it won’t work in education. Most importantly, why don’t we get the
federal government out of education entirely, abolish the Dept. of Ed., let the
states figure in out themselves, and most importantly….give control back to the
parents.
That
worked for 200 years, why would be believe it should be replaced? Good Ole Jeb is just like Good Ole “W”, and
Good Ole George I. All big government,
centralized authority solution guys! And
without control of education at Propaganda Central – U.S. Department of Education
- these kids might come to learn about
the Constitution, what it says, why it says the things it says and then think
differently than the socialists running education.
What we need is clarity. Listen carefully. Education is not the responsibility of government. Education the responsibility of parents, and parents merely use govenment as their tool to accomplish the goal of educating their children. And when government fails or corrupts that process parents need to fire them. It's not government's job to decide anything contrary to the parents wishes - they're hired help. Do we get this? Do we understand this?
