Teachers: The Tests Made Them Cheat

Reports have been coming in about teachers nationwide involved in cheating on students tests and test scoring. Georgia's then Gov Sonny Perdue didn't believe the internal school district whitewash and ordered a full investigation. The findings are shocking and "investigations" in the other state should be reopened to find if there are other scandals this pernicious, especially now as we have to endure teachers and their unions scream that collective bargaining is really just for the children.
Atlanta cheating scandal: Should educators face jail for 'robbing' kids?
The headline asks the question and yes, educators should be jailed for long sentences for robbing children of their future. This is a crime that denied education, but also taught students that it is okay to cheat, get passed on without merit and that lying is the norm of adults.

The investigation should also extend to education and union leaders that say that testing made them do it. They aren't worthy of the honor of being called teacher and are actually common liars and thieves. Throw away the key.

Instapundit's Brilliant Idea!

WANT NEW SOURCES OF REVENUE? If I were a Republican member of Congress, I’d be proposing big excise taxes on movie tickets, DVDs, CDs, digitial movie and music downloads, etc. Then let Hollywood scream about how the tax increase would destroy American jobs. . . .

A fancier approach would require knowledgeable accounting advice, but would target the various bits of favorable treatment those industries get in terms of deductions, but that’s hardly necessary.

Government Caused Shortages, Shoddy Care & Rising Cost Are Easily Predicted

Using a simple formula for government service availability, cost and quality projections is actually simple.

If private enterprise can supply a product or service government entrance into that area will cause shortages, quality issues and a sharp rise in cost.

World’s Shortest Health Care Debate

My father told me at the advent of Medicare/Medicaid to not become a doctor because with government involved the cost of medical care would go through the ceiling while the quality went down the crapper. He was right then and it is about to get a whole lot worse.

Safe And Legal Abortion Has Given Us 300,000 Breast cancer Deaths

It just keeps getting worse. If the physical destruction of a baby isn’t sufficient to convince people maybe the continuous flow of the true effects of abortion on the surviving women will spur a real debate.

Abortion Has Caused 300K Breast Cancer Deaths Since Roe

This is on top of targeted abortion of girls, African-Americans, the coerced and born babies. This isn’t safe and legal. How could a holocaust be legal, let alone safe?

If the morons preventing the US from drilling for energy here could be stopped from spewing their lies this wouldn't be as bad as it appears it will become. Yeah, I know, the greenies will not give up the billions they make with this environmental crap.

Abortion's Safe And Legal Tripe Ignores Some Facts

I consider Zilla of the Resistance a friend. She is also persistent, smart and a very good researcher which is important when looking into the true story behind the darling of leftists, abortion. It is hard to find facts that place the wholesale slaughter of babies in proper perspective because those that control media, education and politics do not want anything that might put abortion in a bad light out there for true debate.

Zilla nails it.

The Other Victims

Read the whole post, but this is appalling to any who are aware of medical procedures:

* 65% suffer symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome

* 31% suffered health complications, some of which are life-threatening

* 65% higher risk of clinical depression

* Death rates from all causes are 4.5 times higher

* Suicide rates are 6 times higher

Any other medical practitioner would be jailed for taking part in such medical malpractice.

The King Of Rock & Roll Wants To Be The First Rock & Roll President

Since the media has the hots for presidential firsts, black, female, illegal alien and so forth, why not the first rock and roll president. How about a man that can intertwine Greek philosophers, Iggy Pop and constitutional law into one sentence when illuminating his ideas? That'd be Thaddeus George McCotter.

McCotter making 2012 presidential bid

How can you disagree with a man insightful enough to state, “No matter how imperfect the health care system is right now, it cannot be fixed by the most broken entity in the world today, which is the United States government.”

Federal Court Rules Racism To Continue

I remember back when I was doing research while working in DC I came across some startling figures about race, race relations and "help" from the federal government. Prior to interference by the federal government the rate for illegitimate birth was about 12% by white mothers with a much lower rate for black mothers. Upon further research I learned that this was due to a strong family and church bond existed in black communities and that was the rub because blacks lived in black communities. When I suggested that living in adversity made those bonds stronger which in turn made the bond between families and church, ergo morality, stronger. I was thoroughly excoriated by my client who had a different finding in mind. he wanted to highlight that after 20 some years of federal help the percentage of illegitimate births among black women was then twice that of white women. I quit.

A few months later I had the great honor to spend a few hours with the economist Dr. Walter Williams. As a young man, I was hoping to impress Dr. Williams with knowledge and brought up my thoughts concerning blacks, federal help and the decline of the family. Dr. Williams quickly proved me way wrong as he pointed out that my snippet of information was, but a small part of how the federal government was destroying blacks, indians and all minorities. I still remember him spitting out that the federal government was filled with liberal do-gooders that were the most racist pricks in the world (the good doctor had a tart vocabulary). He went on to describe the destruction of the black economy, the black family and the destruction of blacks as individuals through "help" from the government.

On the subject of blacks and education, let's just say he said that, blacks (and whites) were being taught some serious poppycock that was making them less productive and less intelligent. He, being an educator, made me feel this was the most egregious of the racist and wrongs of all the sins of federal "help."

This racism, a soft version of low expectations and an intimation of inability on the part of blacks is still alive and well and is still ensconced in the minds of liberals.

Mich. ban on race in college admissions illegal

Racism is wrong even when a court practices it, but is especially so when courts not only over rule the electorate, but try to codify racism. This ruling should be overturned in a higher court.

Illegal Health Care Reform

Free S'mores For Rome's Burning With Music By The Federal Fiddlers Union

When did it become a necessity that the federal government, i.e. us, feed, clothe, house, medicate and entertain those that refuse to do for themselves?

Poor people in such far flung nations like Mexico are starving and are involved in a national economic drug war that is claiming thousands of lives because the government won't help. Here in America a poor person uses their free cell phone to call police, who unfortunately are on a union ordered doughnut break, to rush to their subsidized house because a punk kid stole their 50” flat screen TV to obtain money to trick out their car because they spent their welfare check buying newer clothes for a “Economic Justice” riot.

Fortunately, we do have people like a Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton who will work two jobs and lead both sides of the protests to protect the rights of the punk kid and the civil rights of the downtrodden homeowner who deserves a newer and bigger flat screen TV because some dumb ass who actually works has a 52” 1080 flat screen TV with surround sound.

In each case there will be at least one image of a starving 350 pound friend weeping inconsolably with a relative of the perp because doughnut wielding cops beat them into an emergency room simply because they just happened to have a large flat screen TV strapped to their back as they ran away from the police. In the end all will pose for reporters as they march for economic justice (again) to protest the uncaring slopeheads who don’t understand their plight.

Rome we ain’t. Just look at government buildings such as the FBI headquarters in Washington, DC and even Nero would weep enough tears to stop the flames he fiddled to. Nonetheless, we have a symphony of fiddlers who are heralding the slow burning of a nation as community organizers and their political masters pour accelerants on the flames. All televised to exemplify the failed policies of a capitalist society. Televised with advertisements, of course. Advertisements for deals on flat screen TVs and free prescriptions.

Being poor just isn’t what it used to be. Of course, our federal government isn’t what it used to be either which is the real tragedy.

The Obama Legacy Is Already Here And It Ain't Pretty

It is especially not pretty for anyone who happens to live in the United States of America.

Two Moms Or Three Moms And So On

Will it be a brave new world that so many people are afraid of or will it be a nightmare that so many people expect? The only brave new world that I have read about was the founding of the United States of America. I read of nightmares all the time whether it is quick and simple genocide or a long journey into darkness. Nations allowing, even paying for the murder of future generations, or the introduction of new values that destroy historical and current societal successes have become a hallmark of "progress" in our world.

Sweden has chosen a slow and painful journey into darkness which may herald the end of culture in which children learn how to become good and productive adults. Sweden has decided to lessen culture through efforts that include "Nearly all the children's books deal with homosexual couples, single parents or adopted children. There are no "Snow White," "Cinderella" or other classic fairy tales seen as cementing stereotypes.

No mother and father. No good morals. No real life representations, only the fairy tales of petty social engineers who would fail at any other basic task that may be performed by sane individuals. Children become their petri dish for experimentation much as the unborn have become so for restive progressives wanting to more quickly project their sick ideas on society here in America.

That these unelected leaders are allowed to irreversibly destroy society is a problem for adults. That adults allow these bottom feeders to destroy children is unforgivable.

Good people are sick of these losers hoping to force their ideas on society. They should be rejected from positions of authority and any other position that influences people and society.

Hell, they should be rejected from and by society. They're sick.

Blame Game Lies Of The Left

Grassy Knolls "R" Us types meld with BDSers and CYAers to protect their tender skins from their own totally failed policies. In short, they can't be blamed for anything except being naive about their "enemies."

How much heaped shame will force libs to admit their policies are a total failure for America unless a broken economy and chaos really is their goal.

Obama's 2.1 Million Jobs Created Claim Causes DNC Laughter (With Laugher Update)

Has he even lost Democrats? If so, we have hope.

As a consequence of that swift, decisive, and sometimes difficult period, we were able to take an economy that was shrinking by about 6 percent and create an economy that is now growing, and has grown steadily now over many consecutive quarters. Over the last 15 months we’ve created over 2.1 million private sector jobs. (Laughter.)


UPDATE:

Unions Have A Constitutional Right To Extort?

The Wisconsin unions are back and they think they have found a constitutional right to extort money from their employers, the taxpayers. I told you they'd be back and boy are they desperate.

They'll shut down government if they don't get their way. They'll shut down a private business that won't see things their way. They'll ruin individuals that don't agree with them. Then they'll threaten anyone and everyone else.

To listen to their lawsuit they got this right from the constitution which, in their minds, makes it better than okay.

Thugs. Go away. America will be better off without you.

Hugh Comstock's Cottages By The Sea

If you ever get the chance to see these cottages, do it. Hugh Comstock built the first for his wife's doll collection to use as a showroom circa 1900. Then others in the village asked him to build for them. He wasn't an architect nor a builder. He just had a vision and a whole lot of fun. Most of the cottages are about 300 square feet of interior space while some are a bit larger, but they became the heart of the artist's colony there in Carmel by the Sea.

Auf Weinersehen

Ta ta Weiner. He announced his resignation in Brooklyn amongst hecklers.

Only on Brooklyn. Well, maybe on Twitter. Actually, definitely on Twitter. And in Weiner's head.
