UNIONS AND DEMOCRATS - DESTROYING BLACK AMERICA'S EDUCATIONAL DREAMS

By Lee S. Gliddon III
ConservativePatriot.org Contributor

The predominantly black parents of Washington D.C. were emotionally destroyed as were their children when Barack Obama ended their very successful and popular voucher program. Now these kids will slip back into a horrible and failed system and lose the massive success their voucher program was.




Protests as the Democrats proposed shutting down the program.

The reading skills significantly improved each year of the program. This program proved that in poor urban communities vouchers could be wildly successful.  But, the Democrats stomped them out to protect the teachers union and their party's cash flow.

TAX PAYER $$ >>> GOV'T >>> UNION EMPLOYEE >>> UNION >>> DEMOCRATIC PARTY

The above cash flow to the union level is mandatory by laws and deals the Democrats made with the union bosses.  Unions are the largest donator to the Democratic party providing 7% of their total donations.

The program also saved significant budget as the vouchers were below the cost of educating a student in the public program.

The next time a "Progressive" claims they are about the children, share this link with them and ask how they can say it with a straight face.

OBAMA ACTUALLY WANTS TO CONTROL 'FREEDOM OF SPEECH'

To All Conservatives,

Mr. Obama and his minions want to oversee everything that you do. His over-reach of federal government is unprecedented! But it does not stop now. He wants to "look over your shoulder" when you are privately on the Internet!

This is unprecedented. This is unbelievable!

Yet, it is "par for the course" for Barack Hussein Obama.

He continues to attack free speech from literally all angles. The federal government expansion is quite unbelievable, no matter where your interests lie: gun control, health care (OBAMACARE), climate change, bank control, automobile industry---you name it, he seeks to control it!

Gov't Must Stop Funding Liberal Propaganda
Barack Obama's latest budget proposes to INCREASE funding to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the parent company of NPR and PBS, from $420 million to $451 million. At a time when Americans are pinching every penny, and budgeting their lives, can we really afford to be giving this much to public broadcasting? NO! And, it seems - NPR AGREES! Read More
House of Representatives Will Defend Marriage Bill Abandoned by Obama
The U.S. House of Representatives says it will make sure the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act is decided by the courts – not by the president. In a statement on Wednesday, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said an advisory group of House leaders – including top-ranking Republicans and Democrats – has directed the House General Counsel “to initiate a legal defense” of the federal law, which defines marriage as the union of one man and one woman.

Nevertheless, he is unhappy with House Republicans’ attempt to cut first $100 billion ...

    Border Patrol Nabs Hundreds of Terror-Linked Illegal Aliens
    By Bob Unruh, WorldNetDaily

    Hundreds of illegal aliens from terror-linked nations such as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Pakistan, Iran and Syria have been nabbed by the U.S. Border Patrol sneaking illegally into the country, and an organization that monitors government’s actions and prosecutes malfeasance says given Barack Obama’s record on border security, it’s not a surprise.

    The terror-linked illegals were among the 463,382 individuals apprehended being smuggled – or smuggling others – across the U.S. borders last year according to federal documents obtained by....

    Saudi police open fire during protest

    Rally Shooting Precedes Planned Protests Friday Throughout Kingdom

    Saudi police opened fire Thursday to disperse a protest in the section where minority Shiites live, leaving at least one man injured, as the government toughened its efforts to prevent a wave of unrest sweeping the Arab world from reaching the kingdom. The rare violence raised concern about a crackdown ahead of planned protests after Friday prayers in different cities throughout the oil-rich kingdom. Violence there could reverberate through the world's markets because of the importance of Saudi oil exports. Discord is common between authorities and the country's Shiites, who make up 10 percent of the kingdom's 23 million citizens. They have long complained of discrimination, saying they are barred from key positions in the military and government and are not given an equal share of the country's wealth. Eyeing rising discontent across the Middle East and North Africa, Saudi authorities are increasingly determined to prevent the unrest from spreading to other cities. Saudi security forces have deployed around the capital of Riyadh on the eve of planned protests calling for democratic reforms.

    I post articles because I think they are of interest. Doing so doesn’t mean that I necessarily agree (or disagree) with every—or any—opinion in the posted article. Help your friends and relatives stay informed by passing the digest on.

    Resources
    For those who want further information about the topics covered in this blog, I recommend the following sites. I will add to this as I find additional good sources.

    Thanks
    I don’t say it often enough, but thanks as always to the many people who feed this blog, taking the time to find new and current articles of interest (not just forwarding old glurge that been going around the net for weeks, months or years) and sending them to me. Often already formatted in the blog’s style, which improves the chances of my using them, time being very unforgiving. I could not put “our blog” together without you—the hours are not there.

    Book Recommendation: Iran Covenant
    Blog readers may recognize Chet Nagle’s name, as I often link to his essays, ever since a fellow Marine linked me to him. When I discovered he had a novel out, it went on my Christmas list. I took it on a business trip last week, a mistake, as I got far less sleep than needed on a couple of nights. Nagle is a former Navel aviator and intelligence agent in the Middle East and it shows in the details and his knowledge of the subject. Plus he can grab you with his writing. This thriller is a great, but scary read, as we will likely be facing some version of this plot in the next decade. I recommend it. It would make a great birthday gift for your Congress Critter.

    Nevada’s higher education system is the most subsidized in the country.  An undergraduate degree at University of Nevada costs only $3,800 per year, with an average subsidization of $35,000. Conversely, according to College Board, an in-state undergraduate degree at 4-year universities across the nation costs students an average of $7,605 per year.

    KARL ROVE: Why the Internet Will Rule the 2012 Election

    By Karl Rove
    Published March 10, 2011
    | FoxNews.com

    Since 1952—when New York ad man Rosser Reeves convinced GOP presidential candidate Dwight Eisenhower to run television ads with a snappy jingle, "You like Ike, I like Ike, Everybody likes Ike"—campaigns have spent most of their budgets on TV and radio.
    But in the year ahead, smart campaigns will devote a good deal less money to running 30- second TV ads and a good deal more to using the Internet to organize, persuade, motivate and raise funds.
    The trend toward Internet-centric campaigns is being driven by changes in where people get election information. According to the Pew Research Center, in the last presidential race 26% said they received most of their election news from the Internet, while 28% cited newspapers. In 2012, the Web will likely eclipse newspapers and close in on TV as the principal source of election news.

    The UN on Thursday expressed alarm at a huge decline in bee colonies under a multiple onslaught of pests and pollution, urging an international effort to save the pollinators that are vital for food crops. Much of the decline, ranging up to 85 percent in some areas, is taking place in the industralised northern hemisphere due to more than a dozen factors, according to a report by the UN's environmental agency.
    They include pesticides, air pollution, a lethal parasite that only affects bee species in the northern hemisphere, mismanagement of the countryside, the loss of flowering plants and a decline in beekeepers in Europe.

    OBAMA SUCCESSFUL IN REALIZING MORE JOB LOSSES! HIS GOAL IS 50% UNEMPLOYMENT!

    Jobless Claims in the U.S. Rose 26,000 Last Week to 397,000


    First-time claims for jobless benefits rose last week from an almost three-year low, highlighting the uneven nature of the improvement in the U.S. labor market.
    Applications for first-time unemployment benefits increased by 26,000 to 397,000 in the week ended March 5, Labor Department figures showed today. Economists forecast claims would climb to 376,000, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey. The total number of people receiving benefits in the prior week fell to the lowest since October 2008.
    The rebound in the world’s largest economy has curbed firings, paving the way for employers such as Boeing Co. (BA) and Home Depot Inc. (HD) to add jobs and spur household spending. A Labor Department official said claims generally rise the week after a federal holiday and some New England states reported more claims due to school holidays.

    THE LEFT IS AGAINST WASTE CUTS! THEY 'NAME CALL' ANY THAT SEEK BUDGET CUTS AS WELL!

    Submitted by: Tony Caputo

    TEA PARTY NATION

    It is nice to have a few heroes in the House of Representatives.  One of those is Lt. Colonel Allen West.

    Congressman West was a hero on the battlefields of Iraq and his courage has not failed him in the battlefields of DC.   Yesterday, he said that the House of Representatives should stand by its bill to cut $61 billion from the budget and refuse to compromise on that, even if it means a government shutdown.  West said, “Anything less than that is a heinous violation of the trust of the American people.  It is a question of can we truly prove ourselves to be fiscally responsible or are we just up here playing a game.”

    West just dropped a bomb on the enemy and gave some of our squishy allies a swift kick in the rear.

    Congressman West understands that compromise is just another name for retreat. 

    West is unfortunately only a freshman, but he is quickly distinguishing himself.

    Seattle is going easy on illegal alien criminals…
    so they won’t be deported!
    Seattle, WA, is among the worst sanctuary cities in the United States. In June 2010, Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes enacted a new policy which protects illegal aliens convicted of misdemeanors from deportation. The previous policy was to use a 365-day sentence when anyone was convicted of a gross misdemeanor – this meant the individual could then be considered an “aggravated felon” and ICE would review the case for deportation.  The new policy is to request a maximum of 364 days in jail for legal and illegal immigrants in order to not tip-off ICE agents to the offending illegal alien.  A Seattle ordinance also prohibits police officers from investigating a suspect’s immigration status, unless they have committed a felony.

    Rep. Peter King defends hearings on radical Islam: 'Let people watch the hearing and decide then'

    By Emi Kolawole

    Credit: Ricky Carioti/The Washington Post

    In an appearance on CNN's State of the Union" Sunday, Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, defended his plan to hold hearings on radical Islam next week. Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), a practicing Muslim who plans to testify at the hearings, also joined King.
    Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, said he agreed with holding the hearings, but that the scope was too narrow. "It's absolutely the right thing to do for the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee to investigate radicalization. But to say we're going to investigate a -- a religious minority, and a particular one, I think is the wrong course of action to take," he said.
    King defended against the charge, saying that other, smaller groups did not pose as grave a threat. "Eric Holder is not saying he's staying awake at night because of what's coming from anti-abortion demonstrators or coming from environmental extremists or from Neo-Nazis. It's the radicalization right now in the Muslim community," King said.

    EDUCATION SOLUTION FOR THE CHILDREN, PARENTS, AND TEACHERS

    By Lee S. Gliddon III
    ConservativePatriot.org Contributor

    The average cost per student K-12 in the U.S.A. is about $10,000 per year.

    I propose we take $9,000 per student and give it to their parents in the form of a voucher. You realize I just saved 10% of the total education budget?

    You allow acredited teachers to each have (20) students. You realize I just shrunk the class size so each student receives more attention?

    Simple math... that is $180,000 per teacher.

    Teacher keeps $100,000 in salary. This is maximum. You realize I just gave teacher an amazingly huge raise?

    The teacher takes the other $80,000 per year to pay for:
    • Books (re-useable)
    • Mortgage on the building (they pool with 4-5 other teachers and now save the commerical real estate market and gain a significant retirement asset)
    • Furniture, Whiteboards, Projectors, Computers (all re-useable for years)
    • Other supplies
    • $15K pooled with the 4-5 other teachers for an administrator - that is a job for $60-70K a year for a real professional


    Benefits
    1. I have just given teachers massive raises and excellent retirement
    2. I have just empowered the parents to choose the teachers
    3. I have just opened the teacher talent pool to more people and better people
    4. I have just offered students smaller class sizes
    5. I have just taken the corruption (unions and Democratic Party) our of education.

    Why won't it happen? Only because of benefit #5

    The Democratic Party and Union Bosses have too much money in their coffers to ever allow students, parents, and teachers have such an amazing program.
