Another Example of Government Intrusion Into Our Lives

Posted on February 17, 2012 by Conservative Byte

In Raeford, North Carolina 85 miles south of Raleigh a 4-year-old recently brought her lunch to school. The meal consisting of a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, apple juice and chips. That’s the kind of lunch I eat.

But the school official believed the meal violated the U.S. Department of Agricultural guidelines and so school authorities gave the girl additional food. Chicken nuggets and charged her mother a buck and a half… a buck and a quarter I should say for the nuggets. After the fuss became public the school dropped the charge.

Now, think about this. The Feds are providing nutrition guidelines to schools. Ok. No problem with that guidelines can be good. But now the schools are interpreting those guidelines pretty much any way they want.

A turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, apple juice and chips is fine. Not a bad lunch. Is the 4-year-old training for the Olympics? Come on.

Last week we reported the Obama administration’s expansion of the federal government is now intruding on your life, my life, everybody’s life.

The Feds are controlling health care delivery, energy delivery, even telling religions what kind of birth control vices they have to pay for. Social engineering is simply getting out of control. Authorities in North Carolina are now retreating because they know they can’t justify what they did.

Yes! Eric Holder should be impeached fror all the things he has done to destroy the rule of law.
- thoughful
  
  Obama and his cronies should all be put out in the streets just like they do with people who can’t live up to their obligations. If they make promises and don’t keep them, then out they go. It is the only way to keep America free and return people to sovereigns as they should still be. Check out strawman in your browser, study what can help you and your family in the now and the future. I never heard of this, until recently and I am glad I now see where we started and where we actually are right now. We allow this to happen by not keeping up on your constitution and stopping these things before they get too big to stop. Also check out Oath keepers. We can take back our rights, it will take knowing what they are. If you don’t know your rights, then you don’t have any.

    Better in jail than streets.
    - Tess
      
      I agree. Put them all in jail esp. this egotistical jerk. Everytime he opens his mouth, LIES. LIES, AND LIES. This country will be better off without obummer. Why can’t he go back to Kenya where he belongs? He hates America sooo much. If that is the case, why stay in a country you hated the most? Strange.
      - Tess
        
        Obummer said in an interview with one of his liberal cronies, “I deserve a second term. I am not done yet.” My gosh, he don’t even deserve a first term and dreaming about a second term? He’s not done yet, meaning DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY. In the next 4 years if he gets reelected, GOD FORBIDS, you won’t even recognize this country anymore. Is this the America that I love? What happened? Big question.

        Apparently what the Republicans and the jewish Koch brothers are doing to this country, escapes you. You must be one of the 1%’ers. Either that or the KKK is missing a member somewhere.

        I agree with you Tess, but the idiot coolaid drinker who calls herself “writer” is the epitome of stupid and apparently is part of the occupy group of idiots.The KKK was begun by democraps.
      - Marshall
        
        Chairman Maobama stays because this country will not try him for treason. This country allows him to use the Constitution against us by perverting justice. This is how Islam works. This country will not ship him to Kenya because there are still many who think that he is the greatest thing since sliced bread. We are way too tolerant of traitors in this day and time.

      Better in the ground then in the streets or in jail. We won’t have to support them them. OR We have a few space shuttles laying around, pack them all in there and fire them into deep, deep space, way way way DEEEEPPPPP space!
- Denise
  
  Hi Wayne,
  Just another miserable day in Obama land. What puzzles me, is why some republicans haven’t enacted articles of impeachment against Holder.
  - butterflylady
    
    I have been asking that question for 3 years~!~~ what’s the hold up??
    You mean they can’t find enough stupid things bo has done to figure out he is out to ruin this country and every citizen in it…
    get your bodies out and VOTE this Nov.!!
  - Dan W Rykard
    
    I have wonder the same thing, why are they allowing him to get away with so much, I would like some Senators and House Members explain this to me.
    - Karl Kocher
      
      When your reps hold a town meeting ask them why they have not introduced charges. Of course they will try to dance around the question but insist they give a answer why!! Dance around again – raise you voice and say “will you just answer the question – you are not eric holder so stop acting like him.”
    - Jack the FAC
      
      The problem is BACKBONE, or rather lack thereof in our republicrat (or demopublican) party, which ever one you wish to call it. No one is our supposed republican party has the backbone, or plain old guts, to stand up and propose action against Obamanation or Holdusup and his Department of Injustice.
    - Mark
      
      Dan,don’t hold your breath,You will get no answers as long as the GOP sits on their thumbs and allows this to continue,they are still bringing home a paycheck,working or not!!!!!!
    - Catman
      
      Dan….It’s easy to explain….NO CAJONES!!! They are all in the same boat, bed or whatever. Until we get rid of every damn one of them, we will never have a truly democratic republic as was designed by our forefathers.
      - Allan
        
        CATMAN: I Agree with you completely: After the NEW GOVERNMENT is formed they need to overturn all the Forever Benefits paid to departed Politicians. Congress shall make no Laws that are not equally applicabled to the general public. They seem to have forgotten that stipulation on making up Laws.
  - Karl
    
    Denise, et al: They haven’t impeached because the terial would be in Dingy Harry’s Senate. ‘Nuf said?
  - fordman
    
    The rino republicans turned socialist on us.
  - Billy
    
    Because once Obama has opened the door to allow a non natural born citizen to serve as president, then now the republicans can do the same. Example: Marco Rubio. It’s just like the demoncrats creating a new license to steal, you won’t normally get any objection from republicans because they are just waiting their turn in office to get their share of the pie.
    - pangaia
      
      But..Obama actually IS a natural citizen. I don’t get it. What’s the problem?
  - Gary
    
    Because we don’t have enough Republicans with the balls to do it. John Boner certainly isn’t inclined to do it.
  - allan juiffre
    
    To win that battle we would need to control the senate. Now after he is kicked out of office this Fall we could have him arrested for fraud and for impersonating a legal citizen, for accepting wages for a position he had no right to perform. The list goes on…on the other hand when he leaves office in January make his location well known 24/7.
- BUD
  
  FIND A TALL TREE AND A SHORT ROPE. END OF PROBLEM.
  - zionist
    
    Yes, Bud I agree. This government is becoming so similar to the Nazi party that it is unbelievable. That the republicans sit by and allow all of these things to happen is amazing.
    - Allan
      
      It’s beginning to sound like Nazi Germany in 1939 all over again. Gun Control. Gov’t trying to control everything but what they are expected to control. Gov ‘t has it’s nose into every place it has no business and is nowhere; where it has business to look after.
      - http://advocates-wvox.com rjgarfunkel
        
        By 1939 Nazi Germany was at war, learn you history. There is no stretch of any one’s imagination that could compare America to Germany from 1933 through 1945. Why don’t you read a book once in a while and stop soiling yourself. Only an illiterate dope would make that odious comparison. In Germany an idiot like you would be rounded up and euthanized. It has not happened here.
    - A True American
      
      zionist – I agree with you and I used to wonder why the Republicans sat by and did nothing. My opinion is that they and their families are being threatened. Remember before Obamacare was passed…several Republicans were dead-set against it? Then when those same Republicans were called to a closed-door meeting with Obama they came out supporting the unconstitutional bill. Quoting Nancy Polosi i.e., Stretch, Blinky and my personal favorite Polosi Galore “you have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it.” Oh, and we are certainly finding out what’s in it! Then there are the ‘rino replublicans.’ Socialists dressed in conservative’s clothing, i.e., Mitt Romney. Bottom line, when you’ve got a congress that passes laws that do no apply to them, you’ve got Chicago style corruption. For God’s sake, Nancy Polosi is guilty of insider trading and didn’t even try to hide it. Eric Holder is guilty of selling guns to Mexico’s cartel. Moochele spends over $260,000 of taxpayer money on a vacation in Spain. Presidential candidates security is paid by taxpayers in every city they campaign in which is illegal. Obama lies time and time again and is never held accountable. He promised “transparency.” That’s the only promise he’s kept (not in the way he proposed) but he is most certainly transparent. What’s really sad is that there are still American’s falling for his crap. Their ignorance is embarrassing.

  I believe chicken nuggets have more fat grams than the whole lunch she had.
  - JMC
    
    You also have to take into consideration that the school may not be aware of any food allergies the student may have and could cause the child to become seriously ill..
- Young82
  
  First it would take a House and Senate that would honor their Oath of Office to uphold the Constitution of the United States, as it is written, then many phone call, e-mails and faxes from constituents demanding impeachment
- Wayne Peterkin
  
  Actually, we might advocate that Holder and Obama be fed chicken nuggets every day. Considering what those things are made from and the nasty nutritional value they contain, we may be able to induce some serious health issues in this administration! That turkey sandwich was far, far healthier than what the school substituted; and the school was blatantly wrong for butting in to begin with.
  - KHM
    
    @Wayne,
    You and the others are correct, the child’s lunch was a lot healthier than chicken nuggets.
    The school official who stepped in and created this whole unnecessry story is symptomatic of bureaucracy gone amok. No common sense.
    There has to be pushback on this kind of infringement on monitoring our every choice.
    This child’s lunch was also a lot healthier than what the first lady eats, yet she goes around telling others, including our servicemen (&women) that they have to eat more fruits and vegetables.
    - LittleFartBert
      
      I agree with you. mrs czarbama has gone too far in telling everyone what they can and can’t eat. I know that candy bars are not good for you, but now she has the company that makes Snickers cutting down the size of their candy bars even further. She got them to sign an agreement that starting in 2013, their candy bars will only contain 200 calories instead of 500. I guess the next thing on her list is going to be when she will tell us when us can and can’t go to the bathroom.
      She isn’t doing to bad for a person who “Hates America”. Look where she is at, telling every American what they can and can’t do. Must be nice.
  - Allan
    
    The Politicians are sniffing too much snuff and don’t see that THEY ARE THE PROBLEM. America is beginning to repeat what occurred in Germany in 1939 under Adolph Hitler. Mussolini was another Dictator who made up his own rules. America is being seiged by a very small group that sadly were elected by a misled public seeking Change. They got Change allright but Never the DOLLARS.

    Arif Alikhan, currently deputy mayor for the city of Los Angeles, was appointed as assistant secretary for the Office of Policy Development at the Department of Homeland Security.
    
    Muslim Democrats welcome Alikhan’s appointment
    
    At a banquet/fundraiser for the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California last weekend, the first speaker was Arif Alikhan (Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles – in charge of public safety for the city). He bid farewell, as he is going to take a post as Assistant Secretary at the Department of Homeland Security. Arif Alikhan is a devout Sunni and the son of Pakistani immigrants (here).
    
    ….speakers included Arif Ali Khan, the former Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles. He bid the attendees farewell as he prepared to leave the Los Angeles area for Washington, D. C. There he will serve as Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
    
    Professor Agha Saeed of the American Muslim Task Force (AMT) spoke of the aftermath of 9/11 and the struggle of the Muslim Community against the pervasive atmosphere of Islamophobia and hatred. It was a struggle against the tide – a very strong tide – to prevent Muslims in America from being marginalized and silenced.
    
    Professor Saeed ….issued five demands from Muslims to the Department of Justice. These demands included a cessation to the infiltration by spies of mosques and an end to the introduction of agents provocateur. In addition there was to be a cessation of attempts to undermine Muslim groups such as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).
    
    This is where Alikhan spoke? He was comfortable with this terror talk?
    
    Why Alikhan? DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano noted Alikhan’s “broad and impressive array of experience in national security, emergency preparedness and counterterrorism.” I am not sure what she is talking about (neither is she, I am sure.)
    
    Arif Alikhan was appointed Deputy Mayor of LA – picked from relative obscurity.
    
    He began his career seven years ago, when he took a job with the Department of Justice hunting down computer hackers, crooks who were selling merchandise on Ebay at rock-bottom prices. In his former position as an assistant US attorney, Alikhan consistently did his work accurately and silently, never producing any headlines. But then he suddenly became one of the most important men in Los Angeles, America’s second-largest city after New York.
    
    He took the position of Deputy Mayor in November 2006. The year that the Congress went Democrat and history and America took a disastrous turn. How does an obscure bureaucrat a and devout Muslim come to the position of Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles – in charge of public safety for the city? And now Assistant Secretary to DHS?
    
    Un-indicted co-conspirator CAIR was thrilled at the appointment:
    
    CAIR-LA Congratulates Calif. Muslim Appointed to DHS Post , Arif Alikhan will serve as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development
    
    (LOS ANGELES, CA., 5/6/09) – The Greater Los Angeles Area chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-LA) today congratulated Arif Alikhan on his recent appointment as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
    
    “Congratulations to Mr. Ali Khan on this well-deserved appointment,” said CAIR-LA Executive Director Hussam Ayloush. “Mr. Alikhan’s new position reflects his and the community’s dedication to helping preserve the security of our country. The American Muslim community can be proud of him.”
    
    In the past few weeks, American Muslim leaders have been urging the Obama administration to be inclusive and to reflect the diversity of our nation as he selects the most qualified public servants to fill important positions.
    
    Back in 2007, Alikhan was instrumental in removing the Muslim terror tracking plan in LA.
    
    The controversial Muslim ‘Mapping’ Plan of the Los Angeles Police Department is now “dead on arrival” according to Chief William Bratton.
    
    “It is over and not just put on the side,” said Chief Bratton in a meeting with the Muslim leadership of Southern California on Thursday, November 15th. The meeting was moderated by Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles, Arif Alikhan and attended by Deputy Chief Mike Downing.
    
    Chief Bratton acknowledged the hurt and offense caused to Muslims and agreed to send a letter to the Muslim community announcing the official termination of the ‘mapping’ plan.
    
    A major reason for the termination of the ‘mapping’ plan was the Muslim community’s vociferous opposition and active civic engagement in making themselves heard beyond Los Angeles. Muslim organizations demonstrated a strong unity of purpose and message on the issue of ‘mapping’ that led to a position of strength for Muslims in the meeting. Those involved in the initial phases of this controversy were the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Muslim Public Affairs Council, and Muslim Advocates.

  I hear you Wayne937,but my way of thinking is much different than what others say or
  dare to say,I believe Eric Holder should have the title of a “Felon,” he fixed it so the drug dealers got the weapons,then they shot the “(Federal Agent)” doing his job that obummer won’t do,he was actually “Aiding & Abetting known Drug Cartels,”so he has a felon helping him,now on top of that they are targeting Sheriff Joe of Arizona for digging into his phony
  life full of holes,phony birth certificate,phony social security card,a lot of treasonous act-
  -ions by his administration and his peons are letting him do this to us,you know,Soros,
  Kissinger,Reid,Pelosi,Clintons,Bushes Sr.&Jr. up to their ears in this and they are still running around free,they have the Feds and the CIA,wrapped around their little finger,
  all of these people at their disposal,they aren’t worried they even have the phony Judges on their side,they can say and do anything,but just wait for” Judgement Day.”

  If Obama keeps his programs for taking over our lives, Maybe just mayby people will wake up and realise we don’t need him for another 4 years. I don’t know why people won’t wake up to what he is doing to us. Fox had on this morning that they want to change the Constitution, because it is obsolete. This won’t happen too many people have fought and died to protect it. It is as sacrid as the 10 Commandments.

  Wayne Holder and Obama should be inpeached. I hear Bonner is backing down because Holder has named underlings that will be held responsible. They are stockpiling Mexico to become Obamas army if he is not able to steal the election. Think about it he is trying to take our gun rights away from Americans.

  Nothing wrong with Mormons. I worked with them in Idaho, and because of them, we raised enough money for a new Boy Scout camp. From what I saw of Mormons, they are upstanding moral Christians. Yes Christians. Whatever happened to freedom of religion in this country. Be afraid of Islam in the United States, not Mormons.

  - JMJ
    
    Daryl: They ARE NOT Christians; as they DO NOT ACCEPT JESUS as Lord and Savior, and they do not accept Him dying on the Cross and of course, they won’t take up their cross to follow Him as we are instructed to do. The Jesus that they mention is not the real Jesus, only a model that Mr. Smith made up. Their morals, etc. for most of them (don’t forget, we always will have evil among us) are as you said and I don’t have a problem with a Mormon (unless of course, it is Romney) in the W.H. and if it does happen, he would be the 2nd. President that is not a Christian; Obama being the first. Of course, there might not even be an election this year and no U.S.A. next year. +JMJ+

        You would not say that if you lived in Massachusetts when he was governor. Mitt is just as evil as Obama and we would be wise not to vote for him. I should know, I am a lifelong resident of MA. Those of us who live here have been desperately trying to tell the rest of the country just how evil he is. One example is his Romney care which is the model for Obamacare. He brags about it at every interview. It has bankrupted this state and the only ones who are benefitting are the professional welfare recipients and the illegals in this state.

So what’s your beef? Save your rants about what you think is an appropriate christian for some other forum—we are discussing the news here. Thank you, friend.

    Hey Daryl…..They are NOT Christians! They have a foreign Jesus that they teach is the spirit brother of Lucifer via “heavenly father” having celestial sex with one of his multiple goddess wives. Yes…Mormons are fine upstanding folks most of them, but their religion is NOT Christianity in any way, shape or form.

    I will assume that you are intelegent and do not realize your indoctrinated from birth bigotry.
    
    FREEDOM OF RELIGION-SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE-
    gives the the right and the privalage to practice your FAITH at home.
    
    You, I expect believe that we should recite the Lord’s Prayer at public gatherings as we used to do in school. THINK. Jews, Moslems, Hindus, Athiests DO NOT PRAY THAT WAY. Freedom of RELIGION? Do you not realize that what you want is to force everyone to practice YOUR religion.
    
    Perhaps, you feel that one week it should be the Christian way and the next we will all take our shoes off wash our feet and face Mecca. There is also that group that uses poisonous snakes in their prayer. DO YOU NOW UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE.
    
    The right wing view on ABORTION is simarly offensive. You say that an abortion is murder. Perhaps, not you or anyone you know but, abortion clinics have been BOMBED and people have been killed. IS THAT NOT MURDER? The stand in the UNITED STATES on Abortion is RIGHT TO CHOOSE, No one is forcing you to have an Abortion. Before Rowe vs Wade, case is from the 1960′s not ancient history, you could still get abortions and they were fairly common. The person doing it was often not qualified, AND IT WAS OFTEN DONE WITH A BENT WIRE COAT HANGER.
    
    The current question is whether hospitals of a religiours oritation have to provide Abortions. ACTUALLY THEY DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE TAX MONEY AT ALL. IF THEY DO NOT TAKE THE MONEY THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO SAY IN IT.

      Jeffrey Monhiet…you are an idiot! Yes, I am a mormon and I’m damned proud of it. How many mormons do you know who are on welfare? How many do you suppose are in prison? ( the ratio is extremely low). How about the divorce rate for mormons? It is the lowest in the nation!! Mormons take care of their own and don’t ask for handouts. Mormons give to thousands of worthy causes and their giving is in the millions of dollars. I would suggest you study up on the religion (not a cult) and then post a sensible and truthful post about them.
  - JMJ
    
    Carolin: yes there are many pagans that are “more “Christian than some so-called Christians act, for the very simple fact that people are clueless on what it means to be a Christian; much more than having a card saying “belonging to such and such a church” or as some of those that call themselves Catholic, such as Biden, Pelosi, Kerry, etc. that refuse to obey or even know just what it means to be in God’s Only Church. Romney was useless as Gov. of Mass. as he learnt how to flip-flop from Kerry, which would make him useless as a President. Ever hear about his handling of the same-sex mess or his Romneycare or about killing babies using the “morning after pill”? Not much honesty there. When JFK ran for President, I was very excited being a Roman Catholic and from Mass. so I can understand your feelings about one of your own doing the same, but, as we found out, JFK was not the man that we saw or heard (very much like Jimmy Carter) and when you come down from your Ivory Tower, you will find much the same. Obama/Romney: not much of a difference or choice. +JMJ+

    There is nothing honest about Romney. It has nothing to do with him being a Mormon and everything to do with the evil he did while he was governor of Massachusetts. Before coming to the conclusion that he will be good for this country, talk to those of us who are conservative residents of MA. We know what he was like as governor. He speaks with a forked tongue.
  - freedomlover
    
    Nothing wrong with mormans, they are great people for the most part and you are right, some of them act more Christian than alot of so called Christians, but the fact is they are not Christian because they do not believe like Christians. Christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship with Jesus Christ our savior. You can be any religion and still be a Christian, but you have to believe Christ and His word. Mormans do not believe that Christ is God in the flesh. Therefore they donot believe Him or His word.

  You know Carmelo Junior you and others need to get off your hatred of Mormons and stop believe the lies told about us. We have Christian Values and teach of Christ as our Lord and Savior. Have ever study it to know what we believe? When I was in the Service and as a leader I tried to know and understand what my Soldiers did and did not believe so I could help them based on their faith and not mine. I may not agree with some of the teachings but I supported their right to believe and did not hate them or preach agent them because of it. I have heard some of what comes from the pulpit of some churches, some not most, how the speaker will spout lies about us, they have no idea of what they are talking about, they say flat out lies or twist the truth. You don’t want to believe fine that is your right and I will defined yours and everyone one ells right to believe the way the with or not to believe in God. But don’t you or anyone ell dare say we are not Christians because when you do you are tilling flat out lie and some are speaking from hatred. Most of us are god fearing people and love the Lord our God and there is only one and that is Jesus Christ the one and only savior of the world. Know your facts before you speak and you can only know fact by studying what we believe, you don’t have to agree just know what you are talking about, go to our web site and you can learn everything you want to know. In our faith we are taught to respect other faiths and not to trash take or say anything that is not true and you can’t know about something without studying it and you do that by going to the source and not to placeless that don’t agree with what is taught or said. You don’t thank Mitt is right for the job fine, I have my doubts as well, Santorum looks to be the right choses at this time, but don’t us his faith as a factor, he is Christians like the rest of the LDS faith or any faith that teaches about a Christ as our Lord and Savior.

It doesn’t help that most public school administrators and teachers honestly believe they are smarter, better-educated, and more in touch with “important” issues than us mere moms and dads. I had to put up with that brand of arrogance when my three children were in school (until I finally took them out of the system and home-schooled them), and the only way I got them to back off was to point out that not only was I also a teacher, but that I had a both a Bachelor of Science in Genetics and Psychology, and a Masters in Music. Then I got, “Oh. I see. Well….I guess you understand, then.” I did, indeed, but not what they wanted me to “understand.” They were more careful around me after that, but I could see the resentment smoldering in their eyes when they had to deal with me. We can’t let these self-important fools dictate common-sense parenting to us, backing down without a whimper. We must stand up to them and make them see that they’re just not as “all that” as they’d like to think. If we can get bold enough with those people, maybe we’ll find the courage to push back against the government with the same raw Americanism and sense of true justice.
- Carol J, California
  
  I went through the dislike of several teachers while in school. My Mother was a teacher with a Masters in Math. That, of course, earned the jealousy of the male math teachers who believed women couldn’t do math. Also, she went to substituting while raising me and my brother. She was the first called when a sub was needed. That also caused us trouble with some teachers. I can remember her making lunches for one of the boys whose mother never gave him a lunch when she was teaching at the school across the street from our home. Now the teachers remove what they feel is bad from my great niece’s lunch. We need to get back to teachers who are educated and really enjoy teaching.

  Darn good words. Good for you, I wish all moms felt like you do. I have no doubt that your kids turned out to be great citizens of our country. We too raised three good citizens. Now, we are worried sick that these great citizens are gong to be living in a ripped and torn apart America. Maybe in the end, it will be the moms that turn it around.

  American Mom: That was one of the most Sensible; down to Earth articles I have seen on facebook. I know exactly where you are coming from. Some of the educators think they are the cat’s meow on teaching and ingrading proper ideals into their students. I believe your degrees brought them down from their high perch. The new approach to teaching leaves a great deal to be desired. With your three degrees and the society’s moral decay your children will undoubtedly be better off home schooled. I hope you teach them music as this really helps in focusing and concentration.

  American Mom:
  Here in Georgia we have a good example of what the so-called brilliant “educators” are doing to our children. Several Georgia school districts are actually bringing in teacher from mainland (read, communist, Chicom) China to teach mandarin Chinese to elementry school children. This is frightening when there are thousands of Georgia children who canno properly speak or read or write their own native English correctly. So why should they be learning Chicom Chinese? This smacks of Chicom encroachment into our American school system. This is just another example of the leftist “mentality” (or lack thereof) that permeates the NEA teachers union.
  This also sounds like more of the Balkanizing of America, dividing us up into different ethnic/national groups. America was once a melting pot, but with this mentality it can no longer happen. Look what has happened to the Balkan states: a bunch of little states and ethnic groups all at each others throats. This is what I mean about the BALKANIZING of America. Dividius et Vincus: Divide and Conquer! It is little wonder that America’s young people are wondering around in confusion. They don’t know what language they are to be learning: English; “Ebonics”(whatever that is); Spanish; Chicom Chinese; etc.; etc.; etc.

  I agree. Ron Paul if you check him out understands where our freedoms went and why. He can change America if we back him. He will make an excellent president and actually cares about America. We need to get back to the constitution and restore our values, and our rights. Things have subtly changed and we were accepting but it is so obvious now that they do things right out in plain site because we have allowed so much corruption into our government and have not done anything to stop it. We are paying taxes we don’t owe. We are being stopped by police for different laws we are alleged to have broken, however their Oath of Office is to Serve and Protect. That is their job!

Henry David Thoreau, one of America’s great men of letters, wrote, “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed as desperation. ” I am always astonished regarding the hypocritical nature of the far right and its acolytes. You oppose the intrusion in the lives of Americans, but you oppose:

a) Choice- A women’s right to control their own body and their own privacy
b) Birth Control- Another intrusion you support of government into people’s lives
c) Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, the cornerstones of a modern society’s ability to take care of the: aged, infirm, sick, orphaned, disabled and indigent.

These folks, who are the most vulnerable of our society, you trash be opposing these necessary “safety nets.”

So the “quiet desperation of many Americans,” you decry, insult and trash upon. Your Tea Party representatives want to privatize Medicare, adding a burden of many thousands of dollars of premium payments on seniors, while benefiting the insurance carriers. Your right wing friends want people to be able to opt out of Social Security so they can fend for themselves in a “deregulated” market place. Have they considered the consequence of the last market meltdown, which turned peoples 401K’s to 201Ks?

Many of you want to get rid of the Federal Reserve, the SEC and feel that transparency and regulation are impediments to growth. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Security Laws of 1933, 1934 and 1940 created the basis for investor faith in the marketplaces, insurance for their bank deposits and rules for what could be sold. In other words taking the fear out of investing and banking.

But what other aspects to the “quiet desperation” that your acolytes support? The right to “collective bargaining,” the laws supporting “wages and hours,” the minimum wage and restrictions on child labor. These were incorporated for the “working person” not the coupon clippers and market manipulators on Wall Street.

Most sensible Americans thought we moved faraway from abuses of the Gilded Age, most of the abuses of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, and the sweat shop. But, no, the Progressive Age and the fight for “Pure Food and Water,” seems meaningless to the right wing. Only the ancient Latin warning, “caveat emptor,” seems to apply to the these “Bulls” and free marketeers.

So it seems that you 2nd Amendments worshipers and you guardians of the Constitution couldn’t give a “hoot in hell” what fats you ingest, what calories you load on to your guts, what poison you inhale, as long as “government” stays out of your life.

Well most sensible Americas are grateful for the safety nets, the GI Bill, the Pell grants, the college loan programs, FEMA, OSHA and many of the other societal safe guards. Of course, most of you folks are worried about how much ammo you can husband away and how many young urban and rural poor Americans enlist to fight “your wars.” Speaking of the conservatives in America, this is what they have opposed and have supported.

As a long-time student of history, political person, and writer and lecturer on mid 20th Century history, it is not a stretch to see what side both parties fall. The right-wing has opposed: the following

The Bill of Rights
Anti-trust laws- Sherman and Clayton Acts
Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid
Labor unions and their right to collectively bargain- the Wagner Act
Wages and Hours Law
Child Labor laws and regulation- Triangle Shirtwaist and other disasters
The Minimum wage
Civil Rights- Integration- anti-lynching laws
The Security Laws of 1933, 4, and 1940, affirmative action
Pure Food and Drug laws
Almost all environmental regulation on clear water and air
Women’s Rights, sexual choice
The right of choice
Birth control access and information
Equal pay for equal rights
The Establishment Clause- separation of church and state
Gun control
Graduated Income Tax- taxes in general
Inheritance Taxes
Federal housing- urban renewal
Public education
Aid to Great Britain before WWII

What have they supported?

Restrictive Immigration: Chinese Exclusion Act 1882, National Origins Immigration Act of 1924
Property rights over individual rights
Censorship
Monopoly, trusts, Inter-locking directorships
Unrestricted gun ownership
Flat-taxes, sale’s taxes,
State’s Rights
Public funding for private schools
Red-lining
Segregation, White Citizen’s Councils, the KKK
Privatization of services
Union-busting
Off shore banking shelters
The market place cures all ills
The Oil Depletion allowance
Private schools

They don’t like out-spoken people, especially those who are not ordered to speak! Luck to you on your voyage away from and out of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

  You took a lot of time and trouble here and all I got out of it is that you are a liberal trying push your Socialist agenda. So many like you should pack up and live in a country that violates your freedoms.

I have a friend who believes that the major food groups are butter, sugar, salt, and lard. She will be 94 inMay, lives alone, walks about 6 blocks to and from the grocery store several times a week, can balance her own check book, do own laundry, and cook her own meals(when she doesn’t get KFC or cheesy fries). God help the food police if they ever knock or her door or try to tell her she needs to eat healthier to live longer. (she is under 5′ tall and weighs under 110lbs.)

  She’s quite unusual and her experiences, personal metabolism and culinary habits are absolutely irrelevant to the average American’s dietary needs. Right wing insistence regarding “dietary rugged individualism” is specious and dangerous. We keep on hearing of the cost of Medicare, and obesity of a high percentage of Americans. Our health care costs are married to public health. Eating a diet of fat, cheeseburgers, sugar and Twinkies won’t sustain us as a nation and shouldn’t be applauded as a defense of individual rights. The decline of smoking in America has lengthen life, the quality of life and reduced the many cardiac and lung associated illnesses. The right to blow smoke in my space intrudes on my rights. Obesity jams the emergency rooms, and by the way, one should not be surprised that in the “Red States” a recent study by Indiana University told us that in 2010, residents of the most “red” or conservative states received 21.2 percent of their income in government transfers, while the number for the ten most liberal states was only 17.1 percent. Wow, what a shock!
  
  Of course, to many of you out there in “Luddite Land” these are lies. More propaganda from the “Big Government Commies” who are out to grab your guns, greaseburgers, and butts. Too bad, in the end we’ll live longer and you’ll have only your guns and ammo to lean back on. It won’t be a commie take over by the anti-Christ, it will be the fat clogging your bloated arteries.

    When a republican doesn’t want a gun, they don’t buy one.
    When a democrat doesn’t want a gun, they take guns away from everyone.

        As I recall the right-wing opposed every effort by FDR to confront the fascists in Europe and they started by condemning his Quarantine Speech in 1937 to their founding of the American First Committee which was lead by Nazi lover and anti-Semite Charles Lindbergh. It was supported by scores of other right-wingers which included Avery Brundage the head of the American Olympic Committee, who admired Hitler.
        
        The right-wing in this country supported all sorts of fascists from Mussolini to Franco to Peron to Batista, Somoza, Salazar, and Pinochet. The list is endless and by the way they are all dead at the hands of their own people.

The population of the red states in quite a bit less than blue states. Why didn’t you give the number of people getting government benefits (welfare) and not percentile.

      Moron, those are the percentages and that is what counts. Speaking of these evangelicals and the “Red States” where they exert so much political clout and legislative influence, in the November’s Vanity Fair magazine (please access the following site: http://louisvilledivorce.typepad.com/info/2006/11/red_state_blue.html ) one can read about the “real” national statistics on morality. The “Red States” lead in violent crime, overall crime, divorce, illegitimacy, infidelity, multiple sexual partners, rape, incest, teenage mortality, drug abuse and incarceration. One should ask why?
      
      As to illegitimacy rates, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, of states with the highest percentage of births in 2003 to unwed mothers, 9 of the top 10 are “red” states. The rate for teen mortality by suicide, homicide and accidents, despite their state’s reputation for family, religious and moral values, was much higher in the “red” states. In fact the top ten states regarding that statistic are “red,” and the bottom ten are “blue!” Not only that the top ten states in alcohol dependence and abuse, are “red” states. The incidence of venereal disease is 40% higher in the “red” states.

      Is that the level of your discourse? I am living a wonderful life, in one of the richest communities in America. I am retired after 45 years of private sector work, I clip coupons, am planning my daughter’s marriage, have been married for 43 years, play tennis and racquet ball 3 times a week, eat at wonderful restaurants, went to “Porgy and Bess” the other night at the Richard Rodgers Theater, and went out to dinner at Pier 9 on 9th Avenue and 53rd Street with my son and his fiancee. Both children are Ivy League educated, gainfully employed and we are all athletic and quite healthy, thank you. By the way, I have plenty in the bank, pay my fair taxes and am enjoying Social Security and thank the heavens for FDR, who saved capitalism and the World from the totalitarians, morons and the proto-fascists like you. So worrying about my “squalid” existence is a fool’s journey. I would worry more about your trailer park trash friends on these sites who live, day to day and are constantly fighting windmills and grousing about America.

        I was wondering why it is that your comments appear to be so condescending, and now I understand.
        
        You think you’re better than everyone else because you can afford to go to the opera, and pay for your kids to go to Ivy League school. You were lucky enough to grow up during better days…you probably had a job when you were 14 or 15, but they won’t let people work at that age anymore. You probably went to college in an era when not everyone was going, but over 90% of my sons classmates are going to college after they graduate. Where are THEY supposed to work? Unemployment is so high right now that these kids are getting out of college with $40-120,000 of student loan debt, and can’t even find jobs at Wal-Mart! My son works part time at Taco Bell while in school, and can’t even afford his car insurance!
        
        It would be one thing if jobs were everywhere, and people didn’t want to work; but that’s not the case these days. There are NO jobs!
        
        Yay you for being set for life…but it’s not right for you to judge others when they don’t have the same opportunities to succeed as you did.
        
        I think that’s why the people here don’t care much for what you have to say. You’re crass, insulting, and judgemental, when you should be more understanding and supportive. Nobody wants your “stuff,” they just want the same opportunity.

How can you say the government is intruding into our lives when the example of Republicans
wanting into intrude into the private body parts of women, telling them what to do with their bodies??????????? I should think the men would not want to father hundreds of children they
cannot provide for, and if they are only going to do something for pro creation, I think there are
a lot of men not satisfied. Think about it before you do some of these crazy things that are being discussed by the Republican men congressmen.
I do not believe any self respecting woman will be able to vote Republican.
- Terry Barkley
  
  You are soooo wrong in your accusations. We conservatives really don’t care what you do with your body. The only thing we advocate is that when things don’t turn out as you expected, don’t ask us to pay for your errors. If you make good choices in your relationships, you get good results.
  If a guy holds a knife to your throat or a gun to your head or simply overpowers you, it is called rape. Report it as such. If you willingly participate, then you must take responsibility for your actions. Don’t blame the Conservative right for your self inflicted problems.

  Excuse me! Republicans are not wanting to intrude in women’s lives, we just don’t want to pay for their contraception. Nothing in our constitution guarantees free contraception. It is called personal responsibility – contraception is legal and you can go out and buy it for yourself. I shouldn’t have to pay for you to have as much “fun” as you want. This is why America is going broke! Why should you get it for FREE??? I am a woman, and a very self-respecting woman who is fully responsible for herself. As far as men fathering hundreds of children they cannot afford – wear a jacket or don’t do it. Who cares if men are not satisfied, that is their own problem, it is not my responsibility to fund them being satisfied, it is theirs. It all comes down to Personal Responsibility! NOT GOVERNMENT MANDATES. Did you not realize we are on the road to bankruptcy and you want us to pay so you can have fun! Really! You are the problem. I will vote Republican! Anybody but Obama.
  - http://advocates-wvox.com rjgarfunkel
    
    You, nor the government are not paying for contraception. You, nor the government are not paying for these policies
    
    This allows people to receive what an insurance policy offers and abide by the premium conditions offered by any employer. In many cases these premiums are paid completely by the employee. It is a consistency that any policy’s benefits should be demanded by all employees. Your interest in the business agreement between employer and employee is specious and intrusive.
    
    Therefore, to you and all that agree with you, stop interfering with the private lives and bodies of others. As to this strange idea that health is not connected to public policy, please wake up.
    
    Smokers and the obese will be sicker than the general public and these sicknesses will impact negatively on both the private cost of health insurance and the cost of Medicare for all.
    
    If you wish to smoke and eat like a pig, that is up to you, but because you are a sincere “libertarian” opposed to government, voluntarily opt out of taking Medicare benefits. The amount of money you may have paid intro the system is really quite small, just do the numbers. Make a sacrifice for your fellow Americans and stop grousing.

    - Andrea B
      
      Insurance companies measure risk, and determine cost of policies based on risk assessment.
      
      When the federal government interferes by mandating coverage, it removes the insurance company’s ability to measure risk.
      
      The federal government has NO Constitutional authority to put coverage mandates on private insurance companies.
      
      PS: The government pays NOTHING for anything. They don’t provide sellable services or produce any product. ALL monies the federal government spends is first stolen from taxpayers. If a thief stole your wallet and took his buddy to lunch, was it really HIS treat?
      
      And if you really do have “plenty of money in the bank” why don’t YOU “sacrifice for your fellow American and voluntarily opt out of taking Medicare benefits?” After all, the amount you paid in was “really quite small.” (These are YOUR words, not mine!) No grousing! Just send me a check!

  Carol, I have two questions for you:
  
  #1) So you’re totally okay with the TSA being all up in your private body parts, but you think being told that you’re not allowed to kill an infant is wrong?
  
  #2) Is a person still capable of self-respect after murdering a defenseless baby?
  
  According to the Constitution, this is to be decided by the states, not the federal government.

    What over dramatics- are you suggesting that we have less stringent safeguards at our airports? personally I have no objection to the lines, the metal detectors and the frisking if necessary. I have flown many times and I feel much more secure that the plane is protected. If you are worried about being “abused” you have two choices, where less metal or don’t fly!
    
    Most women in America don’t agree with your second characterization. But, if that is what you believe, have protected sex, support protected sex to the utmost and when if you are raped, carry the defenseless child to term. That is your right.
  - StevenI
    
    They are only okay with the TSA as long as Obama or any Democrat is the President. I am sure as soon as a Republican becomes President, they they will be spewing how the Republicans have taken away all of our rights.

  I am a self respecting woman and I will vote Republican. I am all for personal responsibility. I think any woman that is self-respecting is smart enough to not have children with anyone that they lay with. Have respect for yourself and your body. Maybe people need to have more respect for their minds and bodies and have more self-control and we wouldn’t have to be discussing these topics.
  
  No one is cutting off access to contraceptives, I just don’t think that I should have to pay for them. You want birth control, then go and get a prescription and buy it with your own money. You want an abortion, then pull out your own money or credit card and pay for it. I want no parts of paying for other people’s irresponsibility. Did all the women before you get free birth control or free abortions? No, they paid out of their own pockets if they so desired.
  
  There is more access to contraceptives and education today than ever and why are there more unwanted pregnancies today than ever. I will tell you why, because there are no consequences for people’s actions, that’s why. It was shameful when I was growing up to have a child before you were married for both the female and the male. We were held responsible for our actions at home, at school and at work. Nowadays it is someone else’s fault not our own and no one is held accountable for their actions.

    Where does it say the “YOU” would pay for it? Have you paid attention? Are you aware that this is private insurance, paid for by the “EMPLOYEE.” Insurance should provide all benefits, under the law, that are available for any employee. This has been clarified and most people with a brain understand its ramifications and support the right to have birth control available through an insurance company-offered cafeteria plan. Or do you think the insurance company should be able to restrict what they offer to whom they wish? Why is any of this your business?
    
    Is this site a magnet for illiterates, myth believers and the lunatic fringe?
    - Sarah Says
      
      I pay attention and it is my business when my tax dollars or my insurance premiums for which I pay out of my own pocket are affected. I pay for my insurance coverage so, therefore, I and anyone that has a policy will pay for it. Do you think the insurance companies are going to absorb those costs without passing it onto their customers. What freaking world do you live in? That is how business works. You mandate a business to do something or raise it taxes, do you think that they are going to be nice guys and absorb the costs from their paycheck, hell no, they pass it on to their customers. Apparently you are the one that does not have a brain and it shows by your comments on this blog and apparently you do not own or operate a business or have no understanding of how a business works or functions. I love people that are all knowing and know nothing about which they speak and that about sums it up for you. Educate yourself and then speak for which you know.
      
      Birth control has been around for a long time and it has never been paid for by insurance and it should not be. My friends who used birth control, actually went to the doctor, paid him out of their own pocket, then went and took their prescription to a pharmacy and paid for that prescription with their own money. It was good enough for them and it is good enough for you and whoever thinks that the insurance companies must pay. When my children were babies, I paid for their required baby shots out of my own pocket and that is not very long ago. You know that there was a time when you went to a doctor and you paid for your office visit, you paid for shots and you paid for your own medication. You only had insurance for major medical issues. Oh, there were times that I did not have the money, but I am not a selfish person, so I thought my child was more important and I might did without just so they could have, but I am not willing to do so for the whole population. I don’t know you and you don’t know me and I don’t give a rip what you think. Do you think that because you were born that everyone owes you something? Well, you have a rude awakening, I nor does any other American owe you squat. You want something, pay for it. That is what normal responsible people do.

What I find upsetting about the direction teachers are going these days…. is how completely unreasonable and illogical they are acting and behaving in the classroom. There is something these teachers are unable to do…. and that is is to think on their own, reason things out, and use common sense. And that is either their own incompetency, or a scarier version….. they have been indoctrinated to behave that way through their college courses…. or their own beliefs in a government state that hates freedom, independent thought, and religous freedom. I think that in order to even go to college for a teaching degree…. there needs to be some serious screening of that individual to begin with…. I mean how many pedophiles, and socialists, atheists teachers are going to be put into our schools to push the limits???? People need to vote and speak out loudly and clearly about this and all issues facing our nation…. People behaving in this way is not good for anyone….. our ancestors died to be free…… why are we not fighting to keep our freedoms????

Be afraid of Mormns, too! They are not Christains at all. They are a cult! They change their policies and religions pratices very few years to just bend in. They claim to have the other testament of Jesus Christ, which is a lie out right! There is no other testament of Jesus Christ, just the new testament. There religion comes in the 1600′s to 1700′s after the death of Christ. They are worst than muslim, and that is not saying much at all. The reason so many people are upset with the muslims, is because they have been exposed, and people can see them for what they are. The mormons have not been exposed and are still operating freely without too many knowing what they are up to! There is suppose to be two groups of mormons. One is almost just like muslims concerning women, the other claims to be just temple builders, which are nothing more than expanisionist! They claim to be different, but don’t let them fool you, they are from the same origin. Two branchs from the same tree. They are a wicked group. Wolves in sheeps clothing. You may, have had dealings with mormon boys, claiming to be Elders. They seem nice and truthful, but if you get involved with mormons, you will quickly see, that those things are just shadows of what they are really like!

Romney, is a good example! He is nothing more than an obama lite! He will say anything and do anything to become president. Then, he will take over and finish destroying America, picking up where obama left off and finishing the job, but the mormon way, instead of the muslim way.

Newt, has a lot of background problems, but would be a much better president than obama or obama lite! We would keep our America, but we may not lose big government problems with Newt.

Santorum, maybe the best choice we have. We will keep America with him. He will put families back on the grid. He will pull apart a lot of the obama laws. He even has an idea of lower taxes.

Ron Paul, has some very good ideas working with the Consitution and keeping it the same as when it first was used for the original America! Ron Paul has some very good ideas how to keep illegals out of this country and putting America, back on the map again! However, Paul has a problem! He will allow our enemies to gain a foot hold and rise up, again! He claims that he shall defend America, but it maybe too late for that, when we are attacked. Ron Paul, would be great for America, but we are not alone in the world. Paul, should be in the government of America, but just not the President or even the VP.

So, my vote will be for Rick Santorum. I think four years with him will straighten out a lot of American and bring us back from the dead. My hope is that Rick, will bring the Consitution back and allow Americans to run their own lives and reduce government down and protect America, no matter where we are in the world! Plus, aid all our long lived allies…..

I hope that the WH kitchen is forced to abide by these same standards. As well as Air Force 1, the Senate kitchen, as well as the House kitchen. No exemptions please, except maybe for the crew that flies AF1.

This will not cease until we return to a government by the people and for the people. As long as Obama is in office, with his socialist, muslim loving doctrine, the government will continue to become more and more socialistic. Socialism is last step to Communism. I have lived in some of those countries and believe me we do not want that here. It is coming, unless we the people stop it.

It shouldn’t make a difference whether a person is a Mormon, Lutheran, Catholic, Baptist or even a Muslim as long as they believe what RIGHT and TRUE. I happen to be a Christian with a solid stand on John 3:16 and IJohn 4:19-21. How many, who are running for the WH really know the difference between RIGHT and WRONG. We need to pray for our country, which includes everyone who live here.

The day is soon coming when we shall have to pay taxes on consumption of AIR, and on exhausting of CO2 and Methane. Mind you, the biggest payers will be the politicians, who are full of air and gas.

  What do you mean, ‘the day is soon coming?’ It’s already here! Remember the whole ‘Cap & Trade’ fiasco?
  
  You’re right about the politicians being full of air and gas, but I fear they won’t be paying anything for it…that cost shall also be passed on to you and me. (and jrgarfunkel, too!)

NANNY STATE is coming and no
One seems to really get it….let me explain it very simply…when you put the frog in the pot with cold water the frog is fine- but then gradually turn up the heat – at first the frog doesn’t notice- but by the time the frog does feel the heat – it is too late – sadly, frog is boiled to death…liken this stealth socialism shrouded in social justice is just gutless.

Does every body get it yet? Obama keeps dolling out the $ so that the american leach will keep him in the WH. Trust me when I say he either owns or soon will own most of those that keep taking his handouts. It’s called slavery. To get him out we have to stop Obama and the hand outs. These people do not believe in getting jobs ever. They think Obama will be there forever passing out the money with out any recourse. He has to be stopped!

Clean out all the America-hating Marxists in the Government in November and beyond!
Return SANITY to Washington DC! REVERSE this PHONY, Leftist Hope and Change!!
To obtain REAL HOPE AND CHANGE, we grass-roots Constitutional Conservatives,
TEA Party Activists, and other true American Patriots of ALL races must UNITE!
WE HAVE THE MORAL HIGH GROUND!! Get registered as Republicans in your State
if it is not too late. Educate yourselves on where each candidate stands on the issues.
We were largely victorious in the General Election on Tuesday, November 2, 2010, but
WE HAVE MORE WORK TO DO!

In 2012, vote for ONLY grass-roots Constitutional Conservatives and TEA Party
candidates in the Republican Primary elections. VOTE OUT the RINOs, Country-
clubbers, and Republicrats – THIS MEANS VOTE THE ESTABLISHMENT
CANDIDATES OUT – in the Primaries and finish taking our Party back! Then vote for
these Republicans on November 6, 2012 and finish taking our COUNTRY back! Elect
a REAL American Patriot for President. Only then can we fully restore this once-great
Nation to a Constitutional Republic with a Government OF the People, BY the People,
and FOR the People! YES WE CAN!

Primary Elections will be held in Michigan and Arizona on Tuesday, February 28, 2012.
The dates on which subsequent 2012 Primary Elections and Caucuses will be held
should be listed by State and Territory at http://www.fvap.gov/resources/media when
they become available. You will need the latest version of Adobe Reader installed on
your PC to view the .pdf file which should be posted at that time. Note that the link is
intact, but the website is currently declining to show it. That should change when the
list of Primaries and Caucuses for 2012 is complete. GET OUT AND VOTE!!!
- freedomlover
  
  Before it will do any good to get out and vote we need to do something about the voter fraud. At our district meeting last night we talked to a Ron Paul Rep. and he said in Maine all the ballots that had checked Ron Paul were tossed in the trash. He said they knew they were doing real well in Maine and were surprised when they lost so badly, but that is why. So, it is true, the elites will put in who they want in unless something is done and soon.

Teachers have no right to inspect a child’s lunch when brought from the home. Parents generally fix what they can afford to give their child or pack a lunch that the child prefers. This intrusion is not new. Years ago, when my own children were in school, I fixed them home lunches with the food they preferred. I used to fix the fancy sandwiches (the meat combo type of thing), but they wouldn’t eat them–their preference was peanut butter/jelly, some fruit, and either tea, milk, or juice. One day, my young son came home with a school lunch bill and he asked: “Mommy, what’s a unfit parent?” That is what his teacher called me as she threw his homemade lunch into the garbage and gave him a tray of school food. I was fuming–and the next day, we were all in the principal’s office. First of all, they were told to stay OUT of my children’s lunch box; secondly, I was NOT paying for any lunches they substituted; and thirdly, I demanded an apology for their insulting remarks to my son. After getting the apology, I then informed them if they EVER did this again, they would be on trial because I had every intention of suing the lot of them. They never interfered with my children in that manner again. Does michelle obama’s food policing “nutrition” enforcement have a place in our society? Not on your life. She needs to educate herself–she is overweight and knows NOTHING about nutrition. And as far as attacking the children for proving a political point, that just shows how ignorant our teachers and politicians have become.

Congressional Record–Appendix, pp. A34-A35

Current Communist Goals
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.
Can you see where this is going? Can you see the current push in these directions? Open your eyes!

Us conservatives,and patriots have a real problem. I do not know if you can believe the polls, but now they are saying that Obama is way ahead. It tells me that Americans are certainly not a bunch of genius’s. So, instead of arguing with liberals, we need to find a way to open that tiny pea they have between their ears, to the facts, and the truth. How anyone could vote for Obama another time, is beyond me. I guess the communist party really does know what they are doing. They have done it just like this in several other countries that are now communist.

Do you not understand? We are now living in a welfare state run by a bunch of corrupt socialists. Their leader in the White House makes the rules and the thugs enforce them. They recognize no authority other than their leader and he recognized no one with authority over him. They steal from the ‘haves’ and give to the ‘havenots’. Want to end his rape of our Repubic? VOTE against him in November.

Anyone steals my little kid’s sandwich again they’re are gonna’ regret it. Have them eat it so my child would have to eat their provided chicken nuggets. Only I wouldn’t tell ‘em my child’s sandwich was stuffed with X-lax.
They won’t ever do that again, I guarantee it.
A True American

Although I have replied to comments in this discussion, I am a bit confused. The article for this discussion is about the public school authorities confiscating a 4 year old girl’s lunch that consisted of a turkey & cheese sandwich, a banana, chips and apple juice. They decided that it didn’t fit the guidelines of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Instead, they gave her chicken nuggets and then billed the parent’s $1.75 or $1.50 (the article is unclear) If I were that child’s parent I would’ve charged the U.S. Department of Agriculture the cost of the daughter’s lunch that they confiscated.

Glen Beck waned us about Obama and his CZars. He exposted all of them on fox news . I only wish he was still on fox news. Glen use there own words to expose there anti american pass action. He exposed Obama and his wife tweny years of REv Wright preaching and hate for america. Obama and his wife can not get the hate out there head. That explane why Obama and his wife has failed all of us. They seem to be more of an enemy to american instead of a friend. . I still want to echo Col West statement to him and his Czars, Get the hell out the way . Just leave …………… col west statment………………….

George Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all die and go to hell. While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for. The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth.

Putin asks to call Russia and talks for 5 minutes. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so Putin writes him a check.

Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes. When she is finished the devil informs her that the cost is 6 million dollars, so she writes him a check.

Finally George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is $5.00.

When Putin hears this he goes ballistic and asks the devil why Bush got to call the USA so cheaply.

The devil smiles and replies, “Since Obama took over, the country has gone to hell, so it’s a local call.”

The truth is ,that they don’t want to lose their cushey lifetime jobs. When you have a lifetime job with liftime retirement, why would anyone want to give that up. throwing out the entire bunch ( congress & senate). We must insist on term limits. If any of them are left in there, they will become the committee heads and that is where the power lies. “FIRE EM ALL”, congress and senate.

The school forced her to eat Chicken Nuggets? Did they think that was healthier than the banana, Apple Juice, Chips and Turkey sandwich her mother packed for her?

My question; Where the chicken nuggets part of a deal the school made with McDonald’s?

The government intruding into our live should not be a surprise. It has been going on for years, and people have been warning about it for years. We have tried to warn people about the so subtle usurpation of big brother by likening it to cooking crabs. You put the live crabs into a pot of cold water and turn the burner on , the water slowly heats up and eventually comes to a boil. The crabs don’t notice the change until it is too late and by then it is over with. Well the American people have been putting up with this slow infringement because it was done little by little people have not noticed or ignored it. Well it is coming to a head and we will see how much Americans cherish their freedom. I know people will get upset and think I’m crazy but this was predictable because Khrushchev said communism will destroy America from within, well communism is alive and well in America. Our government is looking more and more like Russia’s. WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This whole article is based on a false equivalency.

“But the school official believed the meal violated the U.S. Department of Agricultural guidelines ….” Well this school “official” is an idiot. The girl’s meal didn’t violate anything. She brought her own lunch, for heaven’s sake.. She didn’t ask to eat a ‘school ‘ lunch. So whatever lunch guidelines may or may not be, the “school official’ had no right to make the girl buy school food. This has nothing to do with Eric Holder, or Barack Obama or the U.S. Government..
