		<description>**Fundamentalism in any form is a destructive force in the society of â€œmanâ€. To serve â€œGodâ€ at the expense of and destruction of other humans***
Comment by Richard Wagner â€” March 11, 2006 @ 5:49 am 

**** THIS COMMENT MADE BY WAGNER IS AN EXAMPLE OF FUNDAMENTALISM BEING EQUATED WITH EVIL!!!!****
  He is one of a movement to deface Christianity. Have you noticed that suicide bombers are called &#039;fundamentalists&#039;, and the fundamentalist Christians who support Intelligent Design are called &#039;extremists&#039;?

		<description>Mighty Hypocrite,
I didn&#039;t write anything in opposition to giving parents choices.  Since you don&#039;t get subtle messages, let me be clear: I was asking where the government should get the money to fund school vouchers when it is even cutting aid for disabled students&#039; education.  You should realize, Mighty dear, that, with the record (and still-growing) deficit, the Bush administration can&#039;t simply pull money out of a hat like a magician with his rabbit.  
And for someone who accuses those with Ph.D.s and/or Ivy league educations as &quot;elitist snobs,&quot; you come across rather schizoid in portraying private/parochial education as the great equalizer, as opposed to better public education.  Besides, as has been pointed out by others, your usual errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar are hardly a good advertisement for the so-called virtues of private school education.  And mind you, I have only mentioned your writing style here.  In contrast to you who robotically dismissess the intelligence of anyone with whom you disagree politically, I recognize that some conservative pundits, though I don&#039;t agree with their views, write beautifully.  You&#039;re definitely not one of them.</description>

		<description>Dear Lora - Like many &quot;lobotomy lefties&quot; you see things  starkly - black &amp; white.  What is wrong with giving people choices?? If a parent wants to continue with the public school system for their child - THAT&#039;S THEIR BUSINESS.  But your philosophy of &quot;choice&quot; doesn&#039;t extend very wide or deep, does it???</description>

		<description>#59â€œ*****As for public school vs. private school - itâ€™s not a â€œCLASS digâ€ - itâ€™s a dig at progs who enjoy projecting their racism onto the â€œpoâ€™ blacksâ€ who would benefit from school vouchers - (Note from NEA, Teddy K., J. Kerry -â€Canâ€™t have THAT!!!) Many working class parents sacrifice to send their children to parochial and private schools. Remember the new Republican mantra: â€œPrivate schools arenâ€™t just for trust fund kids anymore.â€ Comment by mighty aphrodite â€

The Presidentâ€™s budget will eliminate Medicaid reimbursements for schoolchildren with disabilities, denying them â€œaccess to medical services they need to fully participate in school and learn to their greatest abilities.â€ It cuts funding for medical equipment on buses, transportation to medical appointments, and the administrative costs of identifying children with special medical and learning needs. 

If schools are no longer able to seek reimbursement for these services, costs will shift to districts and states already grappling with fiscal constraints. But those who will be most affected are the children and students with disabilities who have already been hurt by Januaryâ€™s drastic Medicaid cuts.  TP on March 6

Mighty Hypocrite,
I noticed that even you couldn&#039;t come up with what you think is a &quot;clever&quot; remark (defense of the Busheviks) for last week&#039;s thread on the Bush cuts on aid to disabled schoolchildren.  If you view school vouchers as the panacea for all education problems, where do disabled children fit in?</description>

		<description>Fundamentalism in any form is a destructive force in the society of &quot;man&quot;. To serve &quot;God&quot; at the expense of and destruction of other humans, is the action of a human without compassion or empathy or the willingness to educate him or herself to the true spiritual nature of &quot;man&quot;. Pragmaticaly, we must seek to remove and unseat those political figures who define themselves as self righteous, God fearin&#039;, gun totin&#039;, sex hating &quot;liberal bashing&quot; good old boys. Positive activism, even here on this blog in place of petty argument as wittnessed in the last several posts.

Think on that awhile.</description>

He has been looking Whack, but the way Moronic Media quotes his creepy ass, ya&#039;d never know.

They should have a little scroll or something saying some of the Whack things people say, that way, we will know who the heck their ass is.

		<description>No Child Left Behind, has left millions of primarily poor American children very far behind, and accomplished little impovement in American academic standards, - though cronies and bureaucratic oligarchs connected to  - what Indira Singh poignantly terms the &quot;Bush Crime Family Cabals&quot;  - reap obscene fortunes.

What will it take for America to awaken from our collective torpor or somnabulance and/or pathological apathy???

The Bush government is fascist!

America is in the iron, or perhaps nano grip of tyrants, despots, dictators, rapturist religious fanatics, warmongers, warprofiteers, disinformation warriors, bioweaponeers, sloganeers, supremist corporatist cabals, commanderies, and oligarchs, the craven sychophants and complicit parrots in the socalled MSM, and all the apologencia for, and wingnutsia trubelievers in the Bush government facist totalitarian dictatorship.

Words have no meaning?
The Consititution is &quot;just a piece of paper.&quot;
The people do NOT have the right to petition the government for redress of grievances!!!!
Any pedestrian or mere mortal questioning, challenging, opposing, or undermining the governments policies, dictates, dictims, executive orders, and heretofore unrecognized powers and authorities to REDEFINE and RE-ENGINEER the Constitution and the core principles that define America&#039;s &quot;unique experiment in democracy&quot;.
The fascist warmongers and profiteers in the Bush government sanction torture, rendition, systemic cronyism, the brutal slaughter of innocents for political and economic gains, a concerted, relentless, and  purposeful decieving of the American people, a grotesque betrayal of the public trust, an obscene perversion of American principles, standards, morals, and democracy, continually throwing sand in the face of both the political and judicial system, and endemic wanton profiteer!!!!!!

How much abuse do we have to take?
How much naked deception?
How many pathological lies?
How much blood?
How much of the peoples treasure?
Who will benefit?
What defines the ultimate objectives?
Who decides these issues?
Should not the people have a voice in the government?
Do the people not have &quot;...the right to petition the government for redress of grievances&quot;?  
Is the government accountable?
Are the facsist cabals in the Bush government afforded heretofore  unrecognized or  imagined dictatorial and despotic tyrannical powers and authorities to pervert and subvert our owns laws and principles, operate above, beyond, outside, and in total disdain of the rule of law or the law of the land, and are the Bush government ministers sanctioned by god to &quot;...break the law, repeatedly and insistantly&quot;????

Wake up!
We are witness to the destruction of America.
The political system is malignant and impotent.
The socalled MSM are compliant complicit parrots of, or partisan pragandists for, or disinformations warrriors, sloganeers, perceptions managers, and slime miesters of the fascist wamongers, profiteers, and rapturist religious fanatics in the Bush government.

&quot;Deliver us from evil&quot;!!!!</description>

		<description>Michael,

First of all you don&#039;t need to &#039;control&#039; the government in order to have influence and power.  The fact is many of the key NeoCon folks are Jewish, and their policies are remarkably anti-islamic and pro-israel.  I understand that the majority of jewish people are more liberal than conservative, but you must also recognize that some are like Feith who are conservative and bonafide spies for Israel.

Not recognizing that there are radical rightwing pro-israel jews is like not recognizing there&#039;s a Mehlman who&#039;s gay.  It doesn&#039;t mean gay people are against gay rights, any more than Feith, the NeoCons or other radical jews mean that jews are conservative.  Your inability to recognize the radical nature of some of your own people however is troubling.  Every group has radicals, whether they be jews, christians or nada.  If you can&#039;t confront them, and what they stand for without identifying yourself as their protector - then to most you look like part of the problem.  You can disagree how much power these american conservative jews have, but to disregard their significant and direct contribution to the current NeoCon CABAL is a little disengenuous.

The rightwing of israel is every bit as radical, dangerous and extreme as bin laden.  And the rightwing of america&#039;s christians, jews and islam are the same.  They&#039;re extremists, and unfortunately they have control of much of the country and even the world at the moment.  That&#039;s a hard cold, and painful reality.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;I have been, as has been my entire congregation, against the war in Iraq. (...) Open your eyes to reality, the reality that Bush/Cheney are operating in the interest of America, and not the terrorists with whom you are in bed with.
Comment by Michael â€” March 10, 2006 @ 8:37 pm &lt;/i&gt;

I must confess I am confused... are you saying you are against the war in Iraq, even though you think it is in the interest of America? And are you suggesting that those who oppose the war are in bed with the terrorists? Wouldn&#039;t that put you in the same proverbial bed?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The sad truth is he probably dosenâ€™t know who Jumblatt is either. Just did a Google search for a quote he could use most likely.&lt;/i&gt;

The sadder truth is Cheney wouldn&#039;t know what Google was either. Some 24 year old flunkie ex-collegiate Republican, recently back from fucking up the CPA efforts in Iraq, found it and thought, &quot;cool... a raghead leader we can quote. Wonder who he is? Aww, who cares?&quot;

Dick is W + 20 IQ points. Still in the bottom 1%.</description>

		<description>plunger,

You are full of Sh*t aren&#039;t you... Making your wild claims about the Jewish cabal which is pushing America into a war. This is complete fantasy, and as an American Jew I find it offensive.

I have been, as has been my entire congregation, against the war in Iraq. In my area there are very, very few Jews who believe that the Iraq war was justified. And yet people continue to make unsubstantiated claims about Jews controlling the American government. What utter and useless BS you are spouting.

What the American government did was because it was what the Administration wanted to do, not because of any Jews in American controlling their hands {as your antisemetic propaganda purports}. Bush/Cheney have been chomping at the bit to invade Iraq from the early 90&#039;s and this was to provide a stable environment for their oil intrests. Also, don&#039;t you know that the Bush/Cheney team is on the Saudi Arabian team {who hate Israel, boycott them, and don&#039;t allow Jews into the country}.

Stop your silly lying pirate... Open your eyes to reality, the reality that Bush/Cheney are operating in the interest of America, and not the terrorists with whom you are in bed with.</description>

		<description>&quot;I acknowledged the good and bad of the article you referenced - but you are such a reflexive omitter of the truth - clever!! mighty Hermaphrodite&quot;

Yes, but unfortunately the &#039;good&#039; was unrelated to my original post - as usual your skills for &#039;selective expression of irrelevant points&#039; is consistently apparent.  Some private schools did well, just as some public schools did well.  There was no overall improvement in scores however, which was your &#039;point&#039; I&#039;m guessing?  You started this thread by claiming school choice would improve the lot of poor black children - this 14 year study proves that you&#039;re spouting lies, mythology and hopeful thinking.

&quot;So, answer the question - in RyANNeâ€™s World, only rich and influential people should be able to send their children to private/parochial schools???? Comment by mighty aphrodite &quot;

That&#039;s largely going to be the same whether or not someone is poor.  The vouchers are miniscule compared to the cost of a decent private or parochial school.  Someone who &#039;claims&#039; to have attended private school would know this.

What you&#039;re REALLY saying is that wealthy people shouldn&#039;t have to pay for the public school system, because vouchers would let them recoup their investments.  And what you&#039;re also saying is that rich people should be able to siphon off school taxes for private and religious madrasas while the poor kids suffer in sub-par schools (public or private).

You&#039;re such a pathetic liar, and such a bad propagandist.

I&#039;ll say it again, you&#039;re one of the the best argument against the quality of private education on the web.  Keep up the good work mighty moron.</description>

		<description>Dear Dr. Becker - I appreciate your answers and your candor.  

You assume much - I&#039;m certain that in your extended studies, assumption was not a recommended course of intellectual advancement. For example:
&quot;I know that will not make sense to someone like you â€” but I hold other things far more important than money. I realize that makes me an apostate in your universe, a person ripe for the crucifying, but there it is.&quot; 
How&#039;s this for a declarative sentence:
Dr. Becker will receive a D- for littering his posts with assumptions about fellow posters.
P.S. You can jump down off the cross now.</description>

		<description>&quot;You know poking at lower life forms is kinda cruel, but I do understand :)&quot;

Well to be honest I am a strange mix of cruel and naive. Because I would actually be happy to see M.A. step up to the plate of real debate and thought. It hasn&#039;t happened yet. But you never know, and unlike a lot of people I like to be proven wrong.

There&#039;s a e-SM aspect to it too, however, because one troll behavior is so transparent. M.A. is getting off on the /attention/ even if it negative. Someone is /noticing/ it, in those odd moments when it forgets to rub the lotion on its body.

So, really, honestly, I should stop. Good-bye, M.A., I will not respond again. Even though I know you will claim this as a &quot;victory.&quot; Bye bye.

And always remember, man-boobies are sexy.</description>
