Please don't forward that article to Obama - he might try to make it policy through an Executive Order.

That article reminded me of this email my mom sent me yesterday:
For those who don't know about history ... Here is a condensed version:
Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.
The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer.
These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:
1 . Liberals
2. Conservatives.
Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery.
That's how villages were formed.
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement...
Other men who were less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly BBQ's and doing the sewing,fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.
Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. They became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided
Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass for obvious reasons.
Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men.
Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood, and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud or Miller. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, members of the military, airline pilots, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America ..
They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.
Here ends today's lesson in world history:
It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it.
A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to piss them off.
And there you have it. Let your next action reveal your true self ... I'm going to have another beer.

the Onion could not have produced this. It is NOT satire
It is what many , too many actually believe
and in spite of much evidence to the contrary these believers, including BO, will work to achieve.
Only when there is no " other people's money" to take will it dawn on them this never had, does not now and will ever work
By then everything is screwed.
It is not a wasted 5 minutes. It is a wake up call to the attitude out there

Just another example of the abject failure of the American education system. I strongly suspect he is a product of our public school system. His arguments were nonsensical. America's future is very dim at the moment with a sharply rising debt and rapidly declining voter IQ.

Google the author's name. You will find page after page of people against those ideas. I'm sure none of those people went to public school. His/her ideas are very unpopular in places like Texas. Good thing nobody goes to public school here.
On a more serious note, its a bit disingenuous to criticize a system of more than 50 million students based on the writings of one person that may not have even attended public school. Its not the point of this thread so Im not going to comment on it anymore.

I would disagree that this is so far off-topic. At some point, Americans have to figure out why we have so many morons that are graduating from public schools and more importantly do something about it. As I said in my original post, he is one example (assuming he did graduate from a public school which is likely).
My opinion of the public school system is not based on this one idiot's article but based on numerous studies that show American students lagging behind many of their counterparts in industrialized countries. His ranting is just a case-in-point. That's great that others disagree with him. But it does not erase the fact that this moron continues to exist.
And to be clear, I am not blaming teachers for the failure of the public education system. There is plenty of blame to go around but that is a topic for a different thread.

Not everything he says is wrong. Millenials ARE getting the short end of the stick.

Not everything he says is wrong. Millenials ARE getting the short end of the stick. 40 years from now, they'll still be paying for the care of the wounded veterans that George Bush so stupidly sent to Iraq. That's just one example of how they are getting the shaft.

You should talk to Bard College (a private school), they gave the guy a diploma. They probably also had a lot more to do with his political beliefs than the public school system.

Everything he said was wrong and it is not the fault of public schools. It is the fault of his idiotic parents.
His generation helped put Obama in office and they, and all of us, will pay dearly for it for the rest of our lives. Some people claim to be libertarian when they are actual closet liberals.
