--- Quote from: MV on June 05, 2012, 12:23:26 AM ---I was so unimpressed with Barack Obama 4 years ago. I saw right through him and rolled my eyes as these boards filled to the brim with swooning adulation for just one little man. The stench of retardation wafting about... well... it was more than any one human (this human) should have to suffer. For those who have only come around recently, here's a reminder of how retarded you once were:

The Liberal Messiah. Only San Francisco would deify a politician to this extent. It is a reflection of a socialist-minded person to personify their greatest ideals, therefore Obama is perceived as a human state of perfection as long as he espouses the drooling dreck their tiny little minds are looking for.

That's some severe retardation. I'm betting they (Progressives) don't feel like that now

Ya know, I don't mind being challenged. I am more than willing to admit I have been in error. But to be insulted is a bit much.
Most anyone that frequents this forum knows that (from my perspective) CoastGab isn't real friendly to liberals. At least Clinton, Obama, Gore, and a few more are commonly demonized. But reference a similar position about bush and the screams about how that isn't the issue spring forth like maggots on a dead fish.
I still do not think Obama is all that bad of a prez. And socialism isn't a synonym for shit. It is extremely narrow minded to think a one size fits all mind set will work. Ron Paul is against the current wars... I am with him. Ron Paul thinks taxation for public education is bad... I an not with him. He is an iconoclast... and as I have posted before iconoclasts rarely get elected.
I know we all get frustrated and angry secondary to our conceptualized world view. If we had a world with less than 150 people it possibly would not be so hard to tolerate.

Morford was right when he says Obama isn't one of us. He should have stopped there.

No president is one of us. Not from the beginning of the country, never has a pres been one of the "lets stop over at bubba's and have a beer."
And honestly, Morford? really? A tempest in an outhouse.

I think the public schools in this country get way too much money. If Americans really think that to get tech savvy adults, we need to put kids in front of computers or use Nintendo Wii to get fit in PE, that's the problem. None of the principles of grammar, physics, and mathematics have changed in a hundred years.
In America, we cry about the stupidest things when it comes to education: Creationism, sex-ed, the list goes on. No wonder kids don't learn. Add to that, parents who have no business being parents. If you have to work 3 jobs, please don't have a kid. Just don't. I don't care what Alex Jones or the Bible says. Kids need a stable home! Schools cannot burden the responsibility of raging, neglected kids. Look at DC public schools and you can get a flavor of what I'm saying. When I worked at a DC public school, I'll never forget when a girl told me that a certain boy was absent because he is in the hospital. That morning on the bus, another student bashed his head into a window. It wasn't this incident that shocked me. It was how calm the kids were when she told me the story! It was as if this was normal or common.
The solution is not hiring more therapists and buying more goods. The solution is parenting. Public schools don't need much more than books and black boards.
So in response to your statement about Paul, funding is failing the public schools.
