Can you believe this? The Leave No Child Behind Act has a requirement to turn over information about students to military recruiters? The recruiters are using this information to assist in meeting their quota of 2 recruits a month.
What can you do? Go to website: http://www.leavemychildalone.org/
Continuing my rant from the last post regarding:
- What happened to the reforms that were promised after the Enron fiasco? Also, why the President believes that without these reforms social security would be better managed by investing in the insecure stock market
The New Republic magazine published an article that discusses some of the accounting issues that has and will probably continue to plague the stock market. The article details how the Justice Department pretty much has given the auditing companies carte blanche to continue screwing the investors. It appears that we would have done better trusting our retirement dollars with Las Vegas bookies.
I wonder how long the Bush admin and their media flackeys will continue their abuse of the Supreme Court and any number of judges that attempt to uphold the law. This is obviously a Carl Rove tactic: sling enough mud and it'll eventually stick. In this case they are using the Wall Street Journal as their shill. Clever, huh?
I always thought the WSJ editorials were a hoot and try any time I can to read them when I need a good laugh. I missed this one. So, read on.....

What is the goal of Carl Rove's diatribe about the liberal's response to 9/11? Wasn't it just a couple of days ago that the same Republicans were demanding an apology from Dick Durbin for his comments about the treatment of Guantanamo Bay prisoners? Of course no apology will be forthcoming from an administration that will not admit they made mistakes. It's always someone else that is at fault or wrong.
Back to Mr Rove. How can he make such a generalization about half the country? I say half of the country because the "Carl Rove" Republicans refer to anyone that disagrees with them as liberal. This, of course, is not the core problem with the latest noise coming from the mighty sound machine led by CR and gang. By implying that the evil deeds of the Taliban were condoned by liberals, Mr. Rove has again proven that he will politicize anything, including a national tragedy. This is just another round of nonsense to throw out there to avoid real issues that are facing this country; such as:
- Why 45 million Americans do not have health insurance
- Why there's no concern or discussions about the national debt
- Why the Republicans overwhelming voted to not protect the soldiers from the new bankruptcy laws. Note: The law were written by the credit card industry. Can you guess whose interest they were concerned about.
- What happened to the reforms that were promised after the Enron fiasco? Also, why the President believes that without these reforms social security would be better managed by investing in the insecure stock market
These are but a few issues that I think should be addressed by the President and the Republican majority in the Senate and Congress. These topics would definitely be something I'd like to discuss on the blog. Both liberals and conservative views are welcome. I would definitely love to hear the conservative point of view.
My goal is to provide a forum for free speech and ideas from people who are not afraid of defending their opinions. This is not a space for the insecure or ignorant. I want it to be a "blogspot" for independent free-thinking individuals to share their views without the need for name-calling and personal attacks.
I welcome your thoughts and opinions.
BLOG ON!!!!
