“As for the school vouchers, perhaps you didn’t read the latest study published by the Dept. of Education that shows public schools to be as effective as private schools for most measures.”

Talk about a “neutral” source!

“Our nations should have the best public schools in the world but instead you asswipes want to further dismantle the public education so that you can create your own conservative madrassas to indoctrinate your young sheeple.”

Ha! You have to be joking! How can you compare a NEA-dominated monopoly to a decentralized, pro-choice system? You’re basically saying that parents shouldn’t be trusted with their offsprings’ education because some of them may the “wrong” choice. You’d rather have a state monopoly since Big Brother knows best!

I sent you a response about a week ago. I applaud you. Your comments against white people has been on here for awhile. Your scathing remarks get left here for all to read. I understand that this is suppose to be here for all to read and post. But just like most liberals, this board only allows things on here that you want. If it gets too out of your bounds, you sensor it.

My response was not quite as bad as yours. My response however, was against people like you. Uneducated, or if educated has a chip on your shoulder, and I remarked about most of the same things you said only against you.

My remarks are gone. WHAT a surprise!! It is just like you (Mr. Moderator) can’t handle the truth. I wonder how long you will leave this comment on here?

The MO of the reporter was to get an answer from Snow that he already knew the answer to. The White House staff is made of people who want to work for the president and agrees with his administration’s agenda. Maybe it’s because all of the black and asian candidates have been suckered by the liberal Democrats so that they would not even consider working for a Republican administration. Can YOU explain why Rice is so high up on the administration’s cabinet and why Powell was….both African American?

The answer is to the question: “Are they all white” is as the reporter ALREADY knew is no. The White House seeks the most qualified people as Snow said. It isn’t that hard to understand.

You want to discuss one problem -look at education. The NEA stranglehold of the politically correct curriculum has made a high school diploma not worth the equivalent of TP. The biggest complaint teachers in the 40’s and 5-0’s had was “funning in the hall” and chewing gum. Todays teacher’s cite guns and knives.

But TLO v. New Jersey was a really low point for public ed. TLO’s parents SUED the school after a locker check revealed contraband. SHAME ON THEM!!!! Shame on all parents who believe their child vs. the teacher. When Mikey Aphrodite came home with a cock and bull story that Mrs. Teacher “didn’t like him” I said, “So….your teacher is not paid to like you…she’s paid to teach you.” Funny, at parent teacher conference shortly thereafter, his teacher told me his strong points and areas that needed work – she was right on the money! Teachers today are NOT just teachers – they are social workers, surrogate parents, etc. etc.

*****Thank you for reminding me what and how too many progs think. I don’t look to the government to benefit me – I look to the government to defend the nation. The problem with many progs is the mindset that somone should be doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.

How is that conservative philosophy working for the country now? We have the largest national debt ever, a jobless “recovery,” a quagmire in Iraq and Afghanistan, stagnant wages for working people, a damaged infrastructure, global warming, health care crisis, etc, etc. Last time I checked the GOP was in charge of the presidency, both houses of congress, and the supreme court (i’m too tired to capitalize proper nouns).

As for the school vouchers, perhaps you didn’t read the latest study published by the Dept. of Education that shows public schools to be as effective as private schools for most measures. Our nations should have the best public schools in the world but instead you asswipes want to further dismantle the public education so that you can create your own conservative madrassas to indoctrinate your young sheeple.

Anyway, you can take your conservative philosophy and your warmongering ways and go teach those uppity Iraqis a lesson.

I found early on in my career on Wall St that one of the reasons they didn’t hire more women (I am a woman), was because they didn’t go looking for women.

And this is part of the reason why pockets of non diversity still exist in America today. The reason that the white house doesn’t have a diverse staff is they dont go looking for them and they persist an environment that’s not welcoming to non white opinions.

I dont think Bush represents most of America when it comes to hiring but there are those pockets of non diversity that feed off of people like him.

How is that possible? Aren’t there any African American women out there programming computers?

Yeap, the black representation in IT in America is around 9% close to the 12% of the population. As a black person in IT I’ve found .coms and Wall Street are the least inviting places to contract.
