Schools have not necessarily much to do with education... they are mainly institutions of control, where basic habits must be inculcated in the young. Education is quite different and has little place in school.~ Winston Churchill
Losing sucks but it was clearly a tough place for a Republican to win. I am told, the district was originally Gerrymandered to create a strong Democrat seat by Republicans hoping to move as many Dems out of other districts as possible.
I didn’t originally go up to PA12 to actively campaign for Burns. I went as a chaperone for the Generation Joshua volunteers. That became driving for walkers and calling during downtime. (I was hoping to work on another project.) The GenJ volunteers made an average 2000+ phone calls each. Roughly, thirty-five kids ranging in age from 13 to 21 made about 75,000 phone calls in 4 days. They were obviously encouraging folks to vote for Burns and “get out to vote” for Burns. While I [...]
I have now been to two events hosted by these guys and they are going to be making things happen. Making things happen by training Tea Partiers and others how to engage in the political system.

No matter.. (I say no matter because we’ve never seen an authentic birth certificate). By the time the baby was two years old his father abandoned him for his other wife and child in Kenya .
I wonder how toddler Barry felt when his father left him, and never reappeared until a single time when the boy was 10. Bewildered? Sad?
Lonely? Angry? What do two-year-olds do with [...]
The end (purpose) of government is the good of mankind; and which is best for mankind, that the people should be always exposed to the boundless will of tyranny, or that the rulers should be sometimes liable to be opposed, when they grow exorbitant in the use of their power, and employ it for the destruction, and not the preservation of the properties of their people?~ John Locke
