Teaching is hard work, actually. It is nearly impossible to do effectively when the state mandates that professors should teach lies.

I saw an HBO special by comedian/actor Robert Wurl who debunked a lot of popular history. It was called: Assume the Position.
He said that a lot of the things that they taught us in history class was actually not factual at all. Many things he mentioned were stories of convenience that slowly became accepted as fact. Such as: Betsy Ross did not sew the first American flag and Paul Revere was not the actual man who made that midnight ride. I don't know how solid his research was, but it does make me wonder. An old friend of mine always used to say, history is told by the winners.
We now know who the real man is.

What lies are you required to teach in America?
"Human existence being an hallucination containing in itself the secondary hallucinations of day and night (the latter an insanitary condition of the atmosphere due to accretions of black air) it ill becomes any man of sense to be concerned at the illusory approach of the supreme hallucination known as death."

Something about a position on 'anti-corruption'?

Tony Resko.

The matter of Barack Obama's involvement with Tony Resko and Resko's financing in certain 'public housing' projects in Chicago is rather illuminating.  The interplay of how as a Illinois state legislator, Barack Obama supported payments to Tony Resko to renovate and manage a 'public housing' project in Barack Obama's district.  The projects failed - primarily because no maintainance was ever performed - and Resko and his company left the projects and began a high value housing business; funded by the proceeds from not maintaining the public housing project.  It was during this time or shortly after Barack Obama obtained the special 1.3 million dollar loan for the house he and his wife currently own.  Odd.  He wasn't making that much money from his job.

Not to mention Barack Obama is pro-abortion, anti-marriage and pro-taxes.

To believe Barack Obama offers 'hope' and 'change' in any decent and desirable sense of the words requires an incredible leap of faith.
As long as the citizens of the United States own and keep personal weapons, we can argue about all the other issues that concern us.  The instant we lose the ability to keep weapons, our masters will decide all those other issues for us.

As someone here (or TFL or THR) said, "Those who can, do.  Those who can't, sue."

Obama will end the Iraq occupation.   McCain won't.  That's reason enough.



No he will not.
He states he's against at one time, then for it another.
Typical flip flopping politician.

So, accept his words at face value...then:
He's elected, proves he lied about the war effort,
reverts to being a gun grabber
bans means of self defense
implements selective socialism.

Socialism with preferential treatment given freely to "under-privileged families" at the expense of everyone else's paycheck.
In the mind of his associates and today’s politicians, "under-privileged families" are "Minorities" only.
One select race of minorities only.
How is that in any way beneficial to society?

He has no credentials of leadership.
He has proven his willingness to be absent from voting.

When he is present, he has not paid enough attention to be capable of voting yes or no.
MOST of his votes are recorded as "Not voting"

We are paying him to be present, study everything across his desk and decisively vote.
He is NOT doing that job...what gives any indication that he can or will do the job of president?

It's funny but I don't see anything in the Bill of Rights about families...   Individuals, yes; families, no.

The focus on families, as important as it for social cohesion, leads to tribalism or, in more advanced states, tribalist socialism. 

Family values are not something we need to have imposed on us by "government."
