Re: $erious Business
While only Congress can declare war the President has as much power as the military will allow him.

Oh I don't think we are great any more, thanks to the leftist influence. Except I can't think of any that are better even so.
Well Cuba does a better job of providing health care, education, basic living needs like food and clothing even with the US trying so hard to make that impossible.
All of Scandinavia does a better job at health care, safety, quality of life, providing basic needs.
In fact it's hard to find a civilized country that does do at least as well as the US when it comes to stuff like health care.

Re: Not for the media
Yes, what we need is a Socialist Single Payer Health Care system like the civilized nations have.
And what we need are more schools that teach facts instead of the jokes called "Christian Schools" that teach only fantasy and falsehoods. We need to set national standards on subject content, put very tight controls on home schooling, require greater certification for teachers. In other words lets actually fund public schools. Take the public schools out of the hands of locally elected boards of education.

Re: education
Plus we can look at some of the so called "Home School" textbooks like the jokes produced by A Beka Books or listen to comments such as Falwell's teach both sides and let the students choose bullshit.

Re: education
Because nobody seems to have counted!
Some basics about the US.
There is no list of who is a US citizen.
There is no list of who is in the US.
There is no list of who should be in school.
There is no list of who is being home schooled.

Re: education
That can get interesting.
For example, if asked I might be able to get a copy of my Birth Certificate from the State where I was born but it would likely take weeks.
I could produce a Passport if I had one.
Fortunately I'm a White Male AngloSaxon Protestant (WASP) and speak English. My neighbor across the street is a brown Tejano who speaks only Mexican, not a word of English. He was born here but has never learned to speak English. BUT he has a Passport. And needs it. Needs it right here in River City. I don't get stopped and have to prove I am a citizen...YET.

Davidjay continues to lie, but it seems that is all Davidjay can do.
Davidjay writes:
Weve already discussed the evolutionary property of racism and how branching in evolution is a racist doctrine promoting supposed superiority in the races or nationalities.
And you continue to tell porkies. Pitiful.
