homeschoolmom Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 [quote name='Socrates' timestamp='1310512926' post='2266590'] I take the heretical stance that it's not the President's job to dictate what's taught in public schools. Most public school textbooks are [font="Arial"]cr[/font]ap anyway. School curriculum should be determined at the local district level, rather than dictated from on high by the federal government, which, if I recall correctly was Bachman's stance on the issue.

Socrates Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 [quote name='rkwright' timestamp='1310475782' post='2266304'] Oh no... the political threads have started [/quote] And it's not even election year yet. Time to relentlessly bash, trash, and insult all conservative candidates, and demand that the GOP must run someone virtually identical to Obama in order to win. Then, when Obama clone gets the nomination, complain that there's no actual difference between the parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socrates Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 [quote name='Lil Red' timestamp='1310499514' post='2266466'] okay - say you have a criticism of, oh i don't know, Socrates.

Socrates Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 [quote name='kujo' timestamp='1310499772' post='2266468'] Okay. Well, I've noticed that some people such as, oh I don't know, Socrates, make personal statements that attack or otherwise impugn other people, and then go hide behind the Catechism, the Church and everything that single Republican since Reagan has ever said.

Jesus_lol Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 [quote name='Lil Red' timestamp='1310499514' post='2266466'] same thing with politicians. [/quote] So... obviously this hasnt been enforced when in regards to people talking about Obama, or a couple other Liberal candidates/politicians... although i suppose that is wise. That would kinda turn PM into a ghost town eventually, and that would be lame.

[/quote] yeah, i generally do. but you would be a fool to say that because I, who is one person with a contrary view to most of PM posts against conservatives(often but not always), that that is generally what happens on PM. gotta be like 95% of the posters and posts here are against liberal politics and politicians, which its fair share of bashing, trashing and insulting. But, if my couple of posts bashing conservatives amidst a veritable sea of liberal bashing are enough to invoke your persecution complex, then i take that as a compliment. you're welcome.

Maggyie Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 To me, Michelle Bauchman and Sarah Palin just seem like... Joseph Biden. Overall average competence, but in the end too goofy to be in charge of any thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrestia Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 [quote name='Socrates' timestamp='1310512926' post='2266590'] I take the heretical stance that it's not the President's job to dictate what's taught in public schools.

[/quote] Her too? I thought that was O'Donnell's bag. IMHO, no public school should be allowed to teach 6-day creation. If parents want their kids to believe that, they can teach it themselves at home! My public school taught me all about the science of procreation, but I still believe that a virgin had a baby that one time. Why aren't folks like her insisting that the virgin birth be taught? Or transubstatiation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
