Liberalism Rising, one man's view

sure there is a word "wimpify". I am using it to describe the non-masculine and thus non-competitive way they want boys to be these days. Competition creates combativeness and thus to them is bad. They want all the males to be wimps so they are easier to control. Thus they have "tugs of peace" with no winners or losers. Respectfully, Rett

I am very afraid that will happen. Right now Russia has invaded Georgia. A year ago, President Bush tried to get NATO it extend the Management Action Program to Georgia and the Ukraine. That would allowed them to do certain things preparatory to entering NATO. This was vetoed by Germany and France. Old Europe holds the blame along with Russia for this. Now I am waiting for the Liberal Left to find someway to blame what is happening on Bush. You know they will, just wait. I know you understand the meaning of my poem on our school system. I wonder how many actually will? Respectfully, Rett: "Life is like a beach. Salty, gritty, somewhat fishy and at other times, downright crabby!" Rett 2008.

Wonder how long it will take our speaker of the house Nazi Pelosi to figure out a way to blame President Bush? Rett: "Life is like a beach. Salty, gritty, somewhat fishy and at other times, downright crabby!" Rett 2008.

There are some dedicated teachers out there, but it is my belief most of the GOOD ones are hamstrung by the union. We keep throwing more and more money after less and less teaching of the correct kind. A teacher should be tested and have to keep up with changes just like the rest of us. When I worked at the plant, we constantly were taking safety classes and learning about new processes and new technology. That was the requirement of the job. We took frequent tests on our knowledge and you passed, not with 60 or 70 or even 80%. You had to score above 85% if you wanted to keep your job and it was critical because lives were at stake. Our children are no less important because in the long run, their lives and ours depends on their knowledge. It scares me that even PHD's these days do not know the difference between there, their and they're. My oldest grandson didn't even know that Hydrogen and Oxygen combine to make water and he is starting high school this year. What are they teaching... Oh well, shut up Rett. *LOL* Thanks for reading and commenting, Rett: "Life is like a beach. Salty, gritty, somewhat fishy and at other times, downright crabby!" Rett 2008.

I am really scared because I think it may be too late. There are fewer of us and more of them. They swallow whatever the media says with no question. If the media tells them oil companies or WalMart of whatever is evil, they don't look at anything, just agree. If they say we have to eat tofu and quit eating meat they blindly follow. They have been brainwashed into believing the government should meet their every need, the government should take care of trespassers (I will not call them illegal immigrants) which, to me, is like someone breaking into your house and you calling the police only to have them tell you, "sorry, you have to let them live here". Anyway, thanks for reading and commenting. I appreciate it Rett: "Life is like a beach. Salty, gritty, somewhat fishy and at other times, downright crabby!" Rett 2008.

As a conservative, I can go either way Democrat or Republican. I am not a right wing republican nor am I a left wing liberal Democrat. I am a conservative. Earlier on a poem I mentioned I used to be a liberal but Jimmy Carter cured me of that. Then I became a conservative Democrat, but there are no more left so I became a conservative. I have to agree it isn't ALL the school, a lot of it rests right on the parents shoulders. No longer are kids taught to respect other people, but the schools are reinforcing all the bad also. Yes, we were taught a lot of fiction in school and now they are teaching ten times as much. It is sad that parents and other do not step up to the plate and say ENOUGH. Even Dr. Spock in his later years admitted he was wrong and the old adage of "spare the rod and spoil the child" had a lot of truth in it. I do not advocate beating a child as I know how that is, but a spanking or grounding does work wonders. Once my kids got too old to spank grounding and also giving them chores and all worked well. With the grounding they could earn a reduced sentence by doing extra work around the house by extra cleaning, picking up the yard etc, but only a "reduced sentence". *LOL* Man, I am just rolling aren't I? Sorry. What we really need seems to be in short supply these days and that is common sense. Think something through before making a judgment and don't just take what our news media tells you as gospel, investigate! Thanks Richard, as always I love your comments and astute responses.
