Get ready to be Responsible

Does anyone else have politician fatigue?  Do you wonder how we can gain back some of the control of governance?  Do you think our country will survive under the system of political prostitution?  Do you think we should return to the rule of law?  Are you happy allowing our country to controlled by those basing decisions on a political game of winning votes instead of what is actually best for our country? Are you happy with your votes based on actual observation being discounted by votes based on ignorance and apathy?

Get involved.  Look for the facts.  Protect yourself from pure propaganda.
Speak out from a position of reason based on fact rather than propaganda and ideology.  Educate yourself and avoid bandwagon mentality. and most of all 

VOTE!

VOTE FOR OUR COUNTRY NOT FOR IDEOLOGY, PARTY POLITICS OR APATHETIC MALAISE.

a NEW PRINCIPLE describes his approach to education

NEW HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL!!
 Listen to the young people, F-this, F-that, and nary anyone will step up and correct them- even with wife and kids in tow!
 
FINALLY - - Someone in the teaching profession had the courage to set the standards so badly needed NOW.

New high school principal
We watched high school principal Dennis Prager of Colorado , along with Sara Palin and Tom Brokaw on TV a couple of weeks ago....what a dynamic, down  to earth speaker. Even though Palin and Brokaw were also guest speakers they did little but nod and agree with him. This is the guy that should be running for President in 2016
 A Speech Every American High School Principal Should Give. By Dennis Prager .

 To the students and faculty of our high school:
 I am your new principal, and honored to be so.
There is no greater calling than to teach young people.

 I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our school. I am making these changes because I am convinced that most of the  ideas that have dominated public education in America have worked against you, against your teachers and against our country.
 First ,
this school will no longer honor race or ethnicity. I could not care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow or white. I could not care less if your origins are African, Latin American, Asian or European, or if your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower or on slave ships. The only identity I care about, the only one this school will recognize, is your individual identity -- your character, your scholarship, your humanity. And the only national identity this school will care about is American.

 This is an American public  school, and American public schools were created to make better Americans. If you wish to affirm an ethnic, racial or religious identity through school, you will have to go elsewhere. We will end all ethnicity, race and non-American nationality-based celebrations. They undermine the motto of America , one of its three central values -- E pluribus unum, "from many, one." And this school will be guided by America 's values. This includes all after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide students based on any identities. This includes race, language, religion, sexual orientation or whatever else may become in vogue in a society divided by political correctness.

 Your clubs will be based on interests and passions, not blood, ethnic, racial or other physically defined ties. Those clubs just cultivate narcissism -- an unhealthy preoccupation with the self -- while the purpose of  education is to get you to think beyond yourself. So we will have clubs that transport you to the wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy, languages you do not already speak, carpentry and more. If the only extracurricular activities you can imagine being interested in are those based on ethnic, racial or sexual identity, that means that little outside of yourself really interests you.

 Second , I am uninterested in whether English is your native language. My only interest in terms of language is that you leave this school speaking and writing English as fluently as possible. The English language has united America 's citizens for over 200 years, and it will unite us at this school. It is one of the indispensable reasons this country of immigrants has always come to be one country. And if you  leave this school without excellent English language skills, I would be remiss in my duty to ensure that you will be prepared to successfully compete in the American job market. We will learn other languages here -- it is deplorable that most Americans only speak English -- but if you want classes taught in your native language rather than in English, this is not your school.

 Third , because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor , everything in this school will reflect learning's elevated status. This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. Many people in our society dress more formally for Hollywood events than for church or school. These people have their priorities backward. Therefore, there will be a formal dress code at this school.

 Fourth , no obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school's property -- whether in class, in the hallways or at athletic events. If you can't speak without using the f -word, you can't speak. By obscene language I mean the words banned by the Federal Communications Commission, plus epithets such as "Nigger," even when used by one black student to address another black, or "bitch," even when addressed by a girl to a girlfriend. It is my intent that by the time you leave this school, you will be among the few your age to instinctively distinguish between the elevated and the degraded, the holy and the obscene.

 Fifth , we will end  all self-esteem programs. In this school, self-esteem will be attained in only one way -- the way people attained it until decided otherwise a generation ago -- by earning it. One immediate consequence is that there will be one valedictorian, not eight.

 Sixth , and last, I am reorienting the school toward academics and away from politics and propaganda. No more time will be devoted to scaring you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual harassment or global warming. No more semesters will be devoted to condom wearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as only or primarily a health issue... There will be no more attempts to convince you that you are a victim because you are not white, or not male, or not heterosexual or not Christian. We will have failed if any one of you graduates this school and does not consider him or herself inordinately fortunate -- to be alive and to be an American.
 Now, please stand and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of our country. As many of you do not know the words, your teachers will hand them out to you.
 

MINIMUM WAGE DEBATE another wolf in sheeps clothing

Another wolf in sheep’s clothing trying to wheedle its way into the 2014 election discussion. 

In an attempt to direct the political discourse away from all the “false” subject matter such as spying on US citizens, and the IRS choosing to audit and harass conservatives groups over liberals at some 280 to7. Fast and Furious, Benghazi and sending armed force against a rancher in Nevada are a couple more questionable subjects. The Democratic political talking points are out to gain votes with the populace need for more income.  Rather than create more jobs by increasing the need for employment, they seek to gain votes from those trying to make a living by working entry level jobs.  The big point they are using to bribe voters is that it is not possible for a family to live on minimum wage employment.  In that belief and statement they are correct. 

The misleading part of that statement is that those jobs are for those entering the workforce for the first time.  Those who have had to drop out of school; those who have to work part-time jobs as they try to gain skills and more education need those jobs.  The supporters of higher minimum wages do not want our young millennial population to know that with a higher minimum wage, the pipeline for improving their own lot is clogged.  The 15 or 16 year old high school student trying to help his family’s economic situation will have lost his entry into the workforce to the college graduate or the main supporter of families with more experience.  Those young people will find it almost impossible to gain the work skills needed to make them a vibrant component of the economic growth and stability of our country.

 I personally believe in a minimum wage, one that allows people an economic lift, one that opens the doors of employment to those needing to gain work experience and one that helps young people learn the value of education and work as means to a better way of life.  Giving them a place to grow stagnant in the complacency of mere existence does nothing to help the individual nor does it help the middle class.  I also believe that the entry wage levels are a viable means of helping with a supplemental income for those looking for better employment and for those who are unable to work in more physically or mentally demanding positions.  Older folks and those with physical and mental challenges need economic supplements to exist.  With the reduction of purchase power, as a result of increasing the money supply rather than employment opportunity, the societal aids of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and disability compensation do not stretch and require part-time employment for subsistence.  If the population lacks incentive to move up in income bracket, the opportunity to fill those needs becomes highly inadequate.

What is used to fool the sheep is just another ruse, another trick in the progressive bag of false hopes, to fool those in need of real systems to make their lives better.  The one who is given fish never learns to fish for his own food and eventually will become a slave to the one who keeps feeding him. 

Until there is no one left with anything to share.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE

Once again the subject of Benghazi rears its ugly head.  The queen of the Democratic Party made the phrase “what difference does it make?” part of the standard discourse.  Most of the little people, including me, still have unanswered questions.

Anytime the facts of a circumstance are manipulated to change perception to create a false belief, most of us in our daily lives would say, we have been lied to.  Generally, I will refuse to use the words all, anytime or always because they are so absolute and very seldom lead us to the truth. Truth is and should be an absolute.  In the case of Benghazi, the truth of that circumstance has never been accounted for. 

The answer to the question “what difference at this point does it make” requires an answer.  If I were asked this question I would have this answer:  it matters because I don’t like being lied to; I expect honesty from my government; we cannot correct a problem if we are told there is no problem; because of the timing, we as a country may have elected people because of false confidence.  Our country’s standing in the world community is lessened because it is evident that democracy can be easily manipulated by propaganda; most importantly it diminishes the faith and belief that our country stands for what is good in humanity.

Something for us to think about might be how would we react in our personal lives if our friends, spouses, parents, or children manipulated  information constantly to lead us to believe nonexistent facts.  What if they did this to make us perceive them as someone they aren’t?  What do we think about people who sell us products using false claims regarding what those products are or what they can do for us?  How long could we put up with those people being in our lives?

I think most of us are smart enough to know why the facts surrounding Benghazi might have been manipulated.  Why the cause of that heinous act would have looked better if it were caused by a random group of people acting in response to an insult of their religion.  How would it have looked if an incumbent administration looked incompetent just prior to their request to be re-elected?  How would it have looked if a decimated enemy were able to pull off yet another attack on American soil?  We might ask how it looks almost two years later when no one has been held accountable for perpetrating that attack, or for the lack of preparedness, or for the lack of importance placed on the value we call truthfulness.
