Whatever government gives to you - they took from soembody else. They stole it from you and me. They forced it from us. isn't this robbery? And who gets it? The new self-elected aristocrats - the Clintons and other bureaucrats that are above the law. They can do anything they want (the BCCI is only 1 block from the White House and Hilary worked for them and Bill and Bush has friends there). The biggest drug launderers in the world! How could Bill have so many friends that ended up dead, in prison and hiding out of the country - about 300 or so?! The U.S. people are stupid and gullible and will let their "leaders" do what they want, but call the cops if I swear at someone.

They believe in forcing money out of others and wonder why their kids are violent. Forced taxes is violence. Why can't they use cooperation?

It's not the government that has screwed up education, it's teachers' unions and the 40-year-old liberal takeover of our education system.

The unions have made it damn near impossible to remove bad or predatory teachers.

Liberals have ruined education. Kids are taught not how to think but what to think. Feelings are more important than facts. History has been perverted, been made PC. Little Johnny can't read, but as long as his self-esteem is high, that's okay. Don't want to hurt his feelings by pointing out how ignorant he is.

In college, socialism and communism are taught as being morally superior to democracy and capitalism (by teachers and professors paid by taxes and living under the protection of the Constitution). Students are taught to revere "the worker" but hold the working class in contempt.

The most common phrase uttered by a Liberal Arts graduate: "You want fries with that?"

In short, Judith, you're being ignorant.

But if you were educated in America, it's not your fault.

Read Charlotte Isebyte's very important Book: "The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America".

Judith is not the only person to question where the dumbing down has come from.

Charlotte documented the entire sordid mess WITH the Governments own Documents.
