Coach Doug, I agree that private school are great! But, what about the people who can't afford attend those schools? I don't wish everyone could attend one because research shows those students learn the curriculum very well.
God is good all the time, and all the time God is good.....Be thankful and humble.

That's why we either need the government to get out of education altogether, or offer vouchers to those that wish to send their kids to private schools........Of course they know that offering vouchers would cause the hallways of public schools to empty ( not all, but a whole boatload of them anyway), and would FORCE the government out of education. They want to continue to force people to depend on them for education, so they probably won't offer vouchers. Read today's paper about how vouchers helped Florida's education system.
When we have competition, it forces everyone to get better. Government has a monopoly on schools, but any other type of monopoly would be criminal. Ok for Uncle Sam to do it, but if you or I had the only say, WIDGETS, they would force us to split up, like they did the Phone company. But, as another example, the post office continues to sludge along in red ink, yet they won't turn over control of it to the private sector. The government does NOTHING better than the private sector, other than possibly National Defense, and if the private sector did that, it would be even better.........

I was reading about the subject. I also know that people on the wrestling forum have children planning to attend college someday and might have to "redshirt". That was my motive, nothing else. I normally stay off the computer, for reason as this. I never anticipated this much backlash. I continued, because I felt that I was being called a storyteller (liar).

You are right Coach G. Clarence Thomas is a sell-out. His wifes group spent $550,000 in campaign monies from Liberty Central against Obama. This guy is supposed to be held in the highest regard of all the judges in US instead he makes a mockery of the position. His wife earnings are supposed to be reported on Federal withholding form now note, this is the same man that was incharge of the EEOC for the Federal Goverment before becoming a Supreme Justice said he and I quote 'inadvertently ommitted due to a misunderstanding" $686,589 in four years. Yea right same old BS. The money came from the Heritage Foundation a conservative policy group. Just like Clarence and Scalis drop by appearance at Charles Koch's political retreat. This is just what has come to light in the last five day's with Thomas. I can assure you it will not be the end to it. Judge Thomas and Judge Scalia should have never been at this politcal retreat. Why? Because they are to remain free of influence. What a laugh!! I am niether offended or disilusioned. Merely disgusted with it all!!

For a conservative voice of a black man, I highly recommend Herman Cain, Walter Williams, and JC Watts. I would vote for any and all of these guys for president. There are plenty others out there as well. They believe that government is the problem, not the solution, to our country's woes.............

The suggestion: this is a terrific conversation, but probably should be occurring in the "Other" section of the forum.
I agree! Politics and/or religion should never be a part of one of the wrestling boards! Can't argue with this! Somebody HAD to respond to the original post though! No they didn't. And your reason for continuing to respond? YES, they did sporto! Leftists AND their sympathizers will ALWAYS be responded to by THIS American!

Thomas Sowell is also a very respected and good Conservative (ie. Good American).

Footnote: for any and all of this information referenced New York Times Tuesday 25,2011 pg. A16 Although tempting to respond to this idiocy, I'll simply say that this is from the same mindset that feels that Conservative ideology has no right, no Constitutional guarantee of free speech. You see to Leftists (socialists, Marxists, Alinskyites, Sorosians, and obamunists), Conservatives have no right to hold an opinion, let alone express it. To Leftists, Conservatives are to keep quiet, and have hands firmly gripped around their ankles. Yes, Leftists are the ones who have all the right answers, yes THEY are the most compassionate, THEY care more than you or I, THEY are not to be questioned!

Leftists believe in free speech also, as long as what you are speaking doesn't conflict with what they are saying........

By the way....I consider myself a conservative democrat. I believe the government should be a temporary crutch/help, not a home. Gaylen: Research the following link in order to free your mind! National Black Republican Association

The only stupid act is that Thomas actually would think someone would buy into his explantion. I am not a Lefist,merely a taxpaying American that is sick of the abuses of power at all levels of goverment. If I was to label myself I would be closer to conservatives than the other parties. I feel everyone has a right to free speech. Just do not insult my intelligence with your Bullsh. The fact that some people make an assumption of a person's position by reading what has already been confirmed By Thomas himself. If you are a US Supreme Justice you have a duty and obligation to the people and the goverment to steer clear of issues and groups with their own agendas. Here in lies the problem there is no formal mechanism for conflict of interest's with Justices at this level.
