Unaware?....my A-Double-S Guest Columnist Jess Reed, USN Retired

Unaware isn't flying anymore! Mr. President, you are a liar! I remember my mom telling me if you tell a lie, you have to lie again to cover the first lie, and then all of a sudden you tell so many lies you can't cover them up anymore. My mom was always right.

Barack Obama , through his spokesman, claimed that he was unaware of the tax day tea parties. Granted, the main stream media has done a good job in suppressing any sort of coverage ahead of time (and the little coverage they did provide was derisive at best)… but how out of touch is the Community Organizer in Chief, really?

This much.

He was unaware that he was attending a church (for 20 years) with a racist pastor who hates America .

He was unaware that he was family friends with, and started his political career in the living room of, a domestic terrorist.

He was unaware that he had invested in two speculative companies backed by some of his top donors right after taking office in 2005.

He was unaware that his own aunt was living in the US illegally.

He was unaware that his own brother lives on pennies a day in a hut in Kenya .

He was unaware of the AIG bonuses that he and his administration approved and signed into a bill.

He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of Commerce was under investigation in a bribery scandal.

He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of Health and Human Services was a tax cheat.

He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of the Treasury was a tax cheat.

He was unaware that the man he nominated to be the U.S. Trade Representative was a tax cheat.

He was unaware that the woman he nominated to be his Chief Performance Officer was a tax cheat.

He was unaware that the man he nominated to be #2 at the Environmental Protection Agency was under investigation for mismanaging $25 million in EPA grants..


 For the love of Mike, there are people in comas that are more aware of world affairs than this smooth talking, village idiot.

I Told You So – Yes I Did - Howard Galganov

Guest Columnist, Howard Galganov.

Barack Hussein Obama
When Obama won the Presidency with the help of the LEFTIST Media, Hollywood and Entertainment Liberals, Ethnic Socialists (ACORN), Stupid Non-Business Professionals and Bush Haters, I wrote:

It won’t take 6 months until the people figure this guy out and realize how horrible a mistake they’ve made. And when they come to that realization, the damage to the United States of America will be so great, that it will take a generation or more to repair - IF EVER.

The IDIOTS who not only voted for the Messiah, but also worked their sorry "as--es off to promote his Lordship, are now left holding the bag.

Here are two things they will NEVER do:

1 – They will NEVER admit to making a blunder out of all proportion by electing a snake-oil salesman with no positive social history or management experience of any kind.

2 – They will NEVER take responsibility for the curse they’ve imposed upon the immediate and long-term future of their country.

In essence, the people responsible for putting this horror-show in power are in themselves responsible for every cataclysmic decision he makes and the consequences thereof.

In just 6 (SIX) months, the Messiah’s polls are showing the following:

On Healthcare Reform - He’s going under for the third time with polling well under 50%, even within his own Party.

Even though he might be able to muscle a Healthcare Reform Bill by using Chicago BULLY tactics against his fellow Democrats, it will just make things worse.

On Cap And Trade (Cap & Tax) – The Fat-Lady is already singing.

On the Stimulus Package (Tax and Spend) - His popularity is in FREE-FALL.

On the TARP package he took and ran with from President Bush - It’s all but Good-Night Irene.

On the closing of GITMO and “HIS” war on what he no longer wants called the War On Terrorism - He’s standing in quicksand with his head just about to go under.

On a comparison between himself and George W Bush at the same 6 months into their respective first term Presidencies - Bush is ahead of him in the Polls.

On a comparison between He Who Walks On Water and the 12 preceding Presidents between WW II and now - Obama ranks 10th.

On a Poll just conducted, that asks who would you vote for today between Obama and Mitt Romney - It’s a dead heat.

Between Obama and Palin - Obama’s ONLY ahead by 8 points and she hasn’t even begun to campaign.

It seems to me that Obama wants to be everywhere where he shouldn’t be.

He’s personally invested in screwing-over America’s ONLY REAL Middle Eastern ally (Israel) in favor of Palestinian Despots and Murderers.

He’s traveling the world apologizing for the USA while lecturing others on how to do it right, when in fact and truth, he has no experience at doing anything other than getting elected.

He went to the Moslem world in Egypt to declare that America IS NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION while he heaped praises on Islam, where he compared the “plight” of the Palestinians to the Holocaust.

The Russians think he’s a Putz. The French think he’s rude. The Germans want him to stop spending. The Indians want him to mix his nose out of their environmental business. The North Koreans think he’s a joke. The Iranians won’t acknowledge his calls. And the British can’t even come up with a comprehensive opinion of him.

As for the Chinese, he’s too frightened to even glance their way.

Maybe, if America’s first Emperor would stay home more and travel less, and work a little bit instead of being on television just about everyday, or forget about his Wednesday Date Nights with his Amazon Wife, or stop running to “papered” Town Hall Meetings, perhaps he would have a little bit of time to do the work of the nation.

In all fairness, it wasn’t HARD to be RIGHT in my prediction concerning Obama’s Presidency, even in its first 6 months, so I’m going to make yet another prediction:

OBAMA WILL PROBABLY NOT FINISH HIS 4-YEAR TERM, at least not in a conventional way.

He is such a political HORROR-SHOW, and so detrimental to the USA and his own Democratic Party, that the Democrats themselves will either FORCE him to resign or figure out a way to have him thrown out.

Who knows, maybe he really isn’t a BORN US Citizen and that’s a way the Democrats will be able to get rid of him.

Or – MORE LIKELY THAN NOT, the Democrats will make Obama THEIR OWN LAME DUCK PRESIDENT.

I don’t believe the Democrats have nearly as much love for their country as they do for their own political fortunes. And with Obama, their fortunes are rapidly becoming toast.

The Democrats can keep on blaming Bush for EVERYTHING. But, that game’s already begun to wear real thin.

Their mantra was “WE DON’T WANT 4 MORE YEARS”, which the STUPID people bought, since McCain was nothing at all like George W Bush.

The new mantra will soon become: WE DON’T WANT 6 MORE MONTHS.

Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

Does any of these sound like it about Obama? or maybe Pelosi?

The British Military writes EPRs and officer fitness reports. The form used for Royal Navy and Marines fitness
reports is the S206.   The following are ACTUAL EXCERPTS taken from people's "206's"....

Just keep Obama & Pelosi in mind while reading these....

- His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of curiosity.
- I would not breed from this Officer.
- This Officer is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a definitely won't-be.
- When she opens her mouth, it seems that this is only to change whichever foot was previously in there.
- He has carried out each and every one of his duties to his entire satisfaction.
- He would be out of his depth in a car park puddle.
- This Officer reminds me very much of a gyroscope - always spinning around at a frantic pace, but not really going anywhere.
- This lady has delusions of adequacy.
- When he joined my ship, this Officer was something of a granny; since then he has aged considerably.
- Since my last report he has reached rock bottom, and has started to dig.
- She sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.
- He has the wisdom of youth, and the energy of old age.
- This Officer should go far - and the sooner he starts, the better.
- Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap!
......and my personal favorite:
- This man is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.

Kiplings "IF" updated....Author Anonymous

If... George W. Bush had been the first President to need
 a TelePrompter installed to be able to get through
 a press conference, would you have laughed
 and said this is more proof of how inept he
 is on his own and is really controlled by smarter
 men behind the scenes?
     
 If... George W. Bush had
 spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take
 Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would
 you have approved?
           
 If... George W. Bush had
 reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM
 stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake
 in GM, would you have approved?
            
 If... George W. Bush had
 made a joke at the expense of the
 Special Olympics, would you
 have approved? 
     
 If... George W. Bush had given
 Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly
 formatted DVD's, when Gordon Brown had given him a
 thoughtful and historically significant gift, would
 you have approved?
      
 If... George W. Bush had given
 the Queen of England an iPod containing
 videos of his speeches, would you have thought
 this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
       
 If... George W. Bush had bowed
 to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have
 approved?
      
 If... George W. Bush had
 visited Austria and made reference to
 the non-existent "Austrian language," would
 you have brushed it off as a minor slip?
      
 If... George W. Bush had
 filled his cabinet and circle of advisers
 with people who cannot seem to keep current in their
 income taxes, would you have approved?
      
 If... George W. Bush had
 been so Spanish illiterate as to refer  to
 "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican
 ambassador when  it was the 5th of
 May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it
 when he tried again, would you have winced
 in embarrassment?
      
 If... George W. Bush
 had misspelled the word "advice" would you
 have hammered him for it for years like Dan
 Quayle and potato as proof of what a
 dunce he is?
        
 If... George W. Bush had
 burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a
 single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded
 he's a  hypocrite?
        
 If... George W. Bush's administration
 had ok'd Air Force One
 flying low over millions of people
 followed by a jet fighter in downtown
 Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have
 wondered whether they actually get
 what happened on 9-11?
         
 If... George W. Bush had
 failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the
 Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than
 in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major
 ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence? 
     
 If... George W. Bush had
 ordered the firing of the CEO of a
 major corporation, even though he had no constitutional
 authority to do so, would you
 have approved?
      
 If... George W Bush
 had proposed to double the national debt,
 which had taken more than two centuries to
 accumulate, in one year, would
 you have approved?
      
 If... George W. Bush had then
 proposed to double the debt again within 10
 years, would you have approved?
     

So, tell me, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive?

Can't think of anything off the top of your head?  Well, don't worry.
He's done all this in just 9 months -- so you have another three years and three months to come up with an answer.

Ted Kennedy...Pariah not Patriarch.......

That we should not speak ill of the dead is an old saying and just that, an old saying.   We speak ill of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Saddam and others, so why is one person exempt from the same criticism after death that was heaped upon them while alive.  I guess it is acceptable to criticize those individuals that did more harm than good while alive.
 
Ted Kennedy was an example of the worst kind of public official that we have had to endure.  Starting with his personal cowardice after causing the death of his date to his current support of ObamaCare.   He was a man who was only interested in his own welfare, never those of his constituency, never those less fortunate, never those who would be affected by his socialistic voting habits.  TK was liberal, the worst kind of political philosophy for a Republic such as America.  If you look at his voting record you see he supported all those programs, ideals, expenditures that have us in the horrible conditions today.  It was because of him and those like him that we have the worst President in the history of our country occupying the White House today.  He said he believed that everyone deserves health care, that everyone deserves a job, that everyone deserves an education, that everyone deserves everything without working for it.  Sound familiar?  You will find it in the rantings of every liberal on the planet - take money from those who work for it and give it to whose who refuse to work...because they "deserve" it.
 
Publicly he espoused a love for the poor, the lazy minorities, the disenfranchised, the homeless, and any other of the non-productive types of individuals that infest our cities, towns and countryside.  The result?  - his actions contributed to those types of individuals and classes never being able to climb out of their various self-induced ruts.
 
He supported school-busing, in spite of overwhelming opposition,  and what a disaster that has turned out to be for the very individuals  & communities it was intended to help.   He believed in welfare, food stamps, all pay and no work government programs, smaller military in the face of our greatest world threats, government in charge of all aspects of life and so many more despicable causes it is hard to list them all.
 
Oh there will be a great public sobbing perpetrated by our liberal media, that will show him as a great humanitarian.  I doubt if we shall ever see the truth on the front pages or the TV programs inhabited by these uninformed biased talking heads.
 
Ted Kennedy 1932 - 2009   He will not be missed politically...

Cash for Clunkers...Obama math....sounds fishy to me!

Here’s what my friend Ed had to say about “Obana Math”:

If you traded in a clunker worth $3500, you get $4500 off for an apparent "savings" of $1000.

However, you have to pay taxes on the $4500 come April 15th (something that no auto dealer will tell you).  If you are in the 30% tax bracket, you will pay $1350 on that $4500.

So, rather than save $1000, you actually pay an extra $350 to the feds.  In addition, you traded in a car that was most likely paid for.  Now you have 4 or 5 years of payments on a car that you did not need, that was costing you less to run than the payments that you will now be making.

But wait, it gets even better:  you also got ripped off by the dealer.

For example, every dealer here in LA was selling the Ford Focus with all the goodies including A/C, auto transmission, power windows, etc for $12,500 the month before the "cash for clunkers" program started.

When "cash for clunkers" came along, they stopped discounting them  and instead sold them at the list price of $15,500.  So, you paid $3000 more than you would have the month before.  Chevy did the same.

So lets do the final tally here:

You traded in a car worth:   $3500

You got a discount of:         $4500

---------

Net so far                                +$1000

But you have to pay:            $1350 in taxes on the $4500

--------

Net so far:                          -$350

And you paid:                     $3000 more than the car was selling for the month before

----------

Net                                      -$3350

We could also add in the additional taxes (sales tax, state tax, etc.) on the extra $3000 that you paid for the car, along with the 5 years of interest on the car loan but lets just stop here.

So who actually made out on the deal?  The feds collected taxes on the car along with taxes on the $4500 they "gave" you.  The car dealers made an extra $3000 or more on every car they sold along with the kickbacks from the manufacturers and the loan companies.  The manufacturers got to dump lots of cars they could not give away the month before.  And the poor stupid consumer got saddled with even more debt that they cannot afford.

Obama and his band of merry men convinced Joe  consumer that he was getting $4500 in "free" money from the "government" when in fact Joe was giving away his $3500 car and paying an additional $3350 for the privilege..

This should be read and understood by all Americans—Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!!

Got this via Email, author unknown, but too good not to pass on...
****************************************************************

To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature,

 
It is now official—you are ALL corrupt morons: 
  • The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775—you have had 234 years to get it right—and it is broke. 
  • Social Security was established in 1935—you have had 74 years to get it right—and it is broke.  
  • Fannie Mae was established in 1938—you have had 71 years to get it right—and it is broke. 
  • War on Poverty started in 1964—you have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor"—and they only want more. 
  • Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965—you have had 44 years to get it right—and they are broke. 
  • Freddie Mac was established in 1970—you have had 39 years to get it right—and it is broke. 
  • The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil, it has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before—you had 32 years to get it right—and it is an abysmal failure. 

 
You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars—AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM?? 
Are you crazy, or do you just believe all Americans are morons too???  
  
Truly, the inmates are running the asylum—and what does this say about us, as voters who put such idiots in office??  If we do not vote against EVERY incumbent currently in office—we are ALL morons, regardless of our political leanings.

Chicago loses the Olympics...American Gains!!

What a ridiculus attempt by the most corrupt President we have ever had to promote the most corrupt State in the union and the most corrupt city in that state as home for the Olympics.
 
Good for the committee.  They saw what Obama was doing...grandstanding again...trying to spend the taxpayers dollars in an area that is so corrupt that most of the cash would find its way into the pockets of organized crime, political bosses and other low-life that inhabit the city and suburbs.
 
Rio won and so did the US of A.

Sounds About Right to Me.......

  • If a conservative doesn't like guns, they don t buy one.  If a liberal doesn 't like guns, then no one should have one. (except the criminals of course)
  • If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.  If a liberal is, he wants to ban all meat products for everyone.
  • If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy.  A liberal wonders how to surrender quickly and still look good.
  • If a conservative is a gay, he quietly tries to enjoy their life without openly insulting those around him.  If a liberal is gay, he loudly demands legislated respect & costly protection for their disgusting ways.
  • If a black person or Hispanic or Asian is conservative, they see themselves as independently successful. Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.
  • If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about what he can do quickly to better his situation.  A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him the rest of his life.
  • If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels or stations.  Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.  If you have ever heard a Liberal "call in" to a host, you probably have heard gobbledegook in bad english.
  • If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church or pray or genuflect.  A liberal wants any mention of gods or religions silenced.  Ban anything you don't comprehend is their goal.
  • If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.  He has the education to be choosy.  A liberal demands that his neighbors pay for his because he never bothered to take advantage of free education & so cannot pick and choose his job.
Now I didn't create this simplistic look at Liberals, but sometimes the truth comes in strange ways.  We all know of individuals who fit some or all of the above definitions.  They are out of touch with reality but determined to make sure everyone else agrees with their opinions and work to force their illogical beliefs on others without the benefit of facts.  This is not the way our country was formed, built, survived and progresses.  It is a socialistic way of viewing life through the wrong end of the telescope.  Now, these misfits have a compassionate leader in the white house.  Even though he is an Oreo, he has not so far done anything for the good old American ethnic mix, only favored those who want something for nothing, those whose idea of freedom is one that gives them advantages over others regardless of cost, those on the dole with no plans to get off.

I am glad I am 75 years old as I won't be around to see the total collapse that is coming under this, the latest of the Democratic Party blunders.

EVERY LITTER BIT HURTS......

Americans must be the "Trashiest" people in the world, or at least those who live in America are. Since there are over 40 million illegal aliens living openly in our U.S., they as well as citizens are working, driving, eating, and throwing trash out their vehicle's windows on to our 4+ million miles of roads.
 
This disgusting condition was brought home to me firsthand this past week.  While riding my motorcycle on some rural paved roads last Saturday afternoon, one of the plastic side covers blew off, unbeknown to me at the time, and landed somewhere in the grassy right-of-way of my 25 mile route.   Not until I arrived home did I notice it was gone.  After two days of riding and driving slowly along my route, looking for this cover, (never found it by the way) did it begin to sink in just how much trash was out there.  I saw the residue from America's kings & queens of trash, beer drinkers, almost every few feet, with fast food containers close behind in the overall count.  Newspapers, styrofoam cups, paper and plastic bags - even dirty diapers foul both the senses of the eye and sometimes the nose.   It is UGLY! 
 
Some states spend as much as $12,000,000 a year just picking up trash from our roadways...an expenditure that would be totally unnecessary if we just didn't thoughtlessly share our trash with others.  Smokers are no doubt the worse or the trashiest people on this planet next to beer drinkers.  But, trying to change their filthy habits is almost futile as every time they light up or toss a butt, they demonstrate that they really don't care about the health and welfare or environment of others, their neighborhoods or country.  Their discarded butts cause approximately $400 million dollars in property damage fires annually. 

The plastic trash pieces get ingested by wild animals & fish that eventually die from our human discards.  And most trash has a longer life span than the people who throw it:  Tin Cans - 100 years, Aluminum Cans - 200-500 years, plastic 6-Pack Cover - 450 years, cigarette filters - 10-15 years & a Glass Bottle? - forever.  Cigarettes and cigarette butts constitute almost 25% of the total collected garbage!  Beer bottles, cans and cartons must equal that at least.
 
So, next time you drive along a road, take a look off to the sides and see what your fellow man is doing to your world.  And, next time you are tempted to pitch a cigarette, apple core, chewing gum, beer bottle or aluminum can, coffee cup, etc., out the window of your moving car, STOP!....and use a car trash bag and take it home or leave it when you get gas.  If you drive a pickup, don't throw loose trash in the back - it just blows out, especially if you leave the tailgate down (which incidentally uses more gas, not less).   
 
Try to be a good citizen or a good illegal alien....Please!   Remember: EVERY LITTER BIT REALLY DOES HURT!

It's PRIVATE ENTERPRISE....What are you - STUPID?

Everyone, Congress, the President, Media, Liberals, Unions, Students, etc., seem to fail to recognize one fact when considering changing our health care system, which by the way, is the very best in the world.   Now, I do not mean to imply it is a perfect system, but by comparison to all other health care in any other country, it is the very best.   In no other country can an individual enjoy the benefits of a superior medically trained staff, the most advanced hospitals and care facilities and a group of drug companies who produce space age medicines that will initially cause them to lose money.

We are a country based on free enterprise...on business that chooses which business to be in with the hopes of making a profit so its investors (individuals, companies, unions, etc.) will also make a profit.  The very groups like unions that are complaining about our drug companies are the same ones whose huge stock portfolios depend on those drug companies to succeed.   Talk about biting the hand that feeds you! 

No government should tell a drug company what it should develop or sell, or tell a Physician how much money he can make, or who should get health care and who should not.  The free enterprise marketplace, if left alone, will produce a level playing field.

  • Remember this::  NO ONE IS ENTITLED TO HEALTH CARE! 
  • NO ONE IS ENTITLED TO HEALTH CARE USING MY MONEY!
  • NO ONE DESERVES HEALTH CARE UNLESS THEY CAN PAY FOR IT!
If you can't afford health care you need to look at why?  Is it because you can't get a good enough paying job?  Well then, maybe you should have studied harder during your 12 years of free education and gotten the job skills that result in better pay.  Got too many kids and you can't afford to pay their medical bills?  Well, maybe you should have added up the costs of raising children before you decided to pop out another one.  You can't afford medical coverage in your old age?  Well, maybe you should have started a retirement plan when you were 25 instead of depending on Social Security to cover all your needs.

What ever your reasons for wanting the Government to pick your tab, you are at fault...pure and simple.  Regardless of what the bleeding-heart liberals keep telling you, you ARE NOT ENTITLED TO FREE HEALTH CARE!   "Free"...means someone else is paying for you to continue to be irresponsible.
 
So it is time for the Government to get the hell out of our capitalistic society & to leave the marketplace alone.  The liberals are asking a Government that cannot run a successful postal system, that cannot run a successful social security system, that cannot run a pork-free grants program, that cannot regulate banking properly, cannot run a successful education system, that cannot control organized crime...They want to give the control over a complicated health care system to these same incompetent people.  
 
GEESH!

Time to eat at Hardy's, Burger King, Subway....not Mickey D's?

This has been verified by Truth or Fiction    Maybe we all should consider eating somewhere else as a protest.  Definitely not the American Way.

McDonald's CEO: Company will put full resources behind gay agenda.  McDonald's has signed on to a nationwide effort to promote 'gay' and 'lesbian' business ventures.

According to McDonald’s CEO Jim Skinner, McDonald’s will aggressively promote the homosexual agenda. In remarks on McDonald's website concerning the company becoming a member of the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), Skinner wrote: 'Being a socially responsible organization is a fundamental part of who we are. We have an obligation to use our size and resources to make a difference in the world … and we do.'

The company gave an undisclosed amount of money to the NGLCC in return for being recognized as a major promoter of the homosexual agenda. In return, NGLCC placed Richard Ellis, vice president of communications of McDonald’s USA, on the NGLCC Board of Directors.
Ellis was quoted as saying: 'I'm thrilled to join the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce team and ready to get to work. I share the NGLCC's passion for business growth and development within the LGBT community, and I look forward to playing a role in moving these important initiatives forward.'

McDonald's refused to comment to World Net Daily on the placement of its executive on the board of the 'gay' advocacy organization but did send an e-mail confirming the corporation's support for the agenda of the homosexual business lobby.

'McDonald's is indeed a Corporate Partner and Organizational Ally of NGLCC. Our vice president of U.S. communications, Richard Ellis, was recently elected to its board of directors,' said Heidi M. Barker, senior director of media relations for McDonald’s. NGLCC describes itself as promoting the LGBT community first and always, including same sex marriage.

NGLCC gives credit to sponsors such as McDonald's for its financial and other support that helps in its work. 'Through the commitment of our corporate partners, the NGLCC has been able to advance the ideas and causes of the LGBT business community,' the Chamber said.

Grade the teachers on the students grades....

You must know high school students are coming out with diplomas but still are very ignorant on the most basic of subjects.  If you watch interviews with college or professional athletes, you hear they are incapable of speaking proper english, preferring to use "street slang" because they did not study and retain knowledge while in school.  I doubt if any could do simple math if asked and I have heard that some even have trouble writing their names in script.  What happened over 13 years of classroom work?  How did they get from 1st grade to 12th grade without learning how to read or write properly or do simple math.  Have you noticed how clerks cannot make change without the register figuring it out for them.   When was the last time a clerk "counted back" your change from a purchase? 

How did they get into college, except on athletic ability maybe.  I see pro rookies entering the ranks without a college degree...something to fall back on when their playing days are over.   When you hear them talk on television, they seem unable to put words into a proper sentence.

Maybe, just maybe it is time to grade the teachers on the students grades.  Give a test to high school seniors BEFORE handing out diplomas.  See how much they know about history, government, math, english, science, etc., and then grade the teachers based on how well their students scored.  Low scores, low pay the next year....high scores, raises.   Of course the unions would oppose this as it flies in the face of their "herd of sheep" philosophy, and could reduce their personal income, and that is their main concern of the labor bosses.

Our school system is run by the same government that is running the health care system, so what can you expect except high costs and mediocracy?   Kids are taught to be mayonaisse in this world when what we need is more spicy mustard.

And you know what else?....Parents today don't seem to care!
