Why are conservatives typically Christian?

The father of the Conservative movement, Goldwater, fell out of favor with the religious right. Since the religious are hardly but Conservative, but authoritative.

 

Republicans give to the poor more than Democrats.

 

Right on, brother. I remember clearly when Bush wanted to give Paulson a blank check to the poor and downtrodden bankers and democrats obstructed.

 

Bush? That's all you got?

 

Got for what?

 

Oh, I value truth more than any other possession. But I don't want to deceive myself into thinking that I have complete control over my desires. Desires are more powerful than you seem to suspect.

 

Vomit, typical.

 

You are correct, all I have is vomit for neocon scumbags.

 

Obviously.

 

I said:

Then you said:

See what I mean.

 

How I wish people would take the time to watch this video, it would take away a lot of misconception of what is wrong with schools and what Conservatives want. It's hard to understand just what the problem is unless you can see it for yourself. First of all, more money is not the answer to fixing our schools. The video shows how one city threw millions of dollars more into their school system because kids graded so low, only to find out the grades were lower than before. That isn't to say some schools couldn't use more money. I believe that each school in a city should be funded equally, not by district. Where the rich districts have much of the things kids need, like computers and the poor school districts get none. (My opinion)

Another problem in learning, is it's hard to teach unless you have control of your classroom and many teachers don't. Kids acting up in class. (Again this is my opinion only) I would have cameras in the classroom to show how some of these kids are acting. I would then call in the parents and show them how their child is acting. I think that would go a long way in having these kids act right in class and give teachers a better chanch.

Another problem is, all kids are not the same. Some kids need more help then others. Some are more advanced. A parent should have a choice of what kind of school they want to send their kid to. They shouldn't be tied to just the school district they live in.

Teachers should not have tenure. Federal judges is the only profession I know of that has a life time job. A teacher should be evaluated every so often to see if she is teaching right and coming across in such a way that kids are interested and learning. If you and I aren't doing our job, we get fired. It should be no different with teachers. But it's next to impossible to fire a teacher with tenure, even if they are found to have done something seriously wrong. It can take months, not just days or weeks.

We have taken discipline away from parents and teachers today and kids aren't afraid of either. When I went to school and acted up, the teacher sent you to the office where you got a paddling and a note was sent home to your parent to sign and bring back. I knew I was going to get again as soon as my parents read the note. Believe me, it only happened once. Now a teachers is brought up on charges and a parent can be to, plus be ordered out of his home for weeks for hitting his/her child. You instill disipline when they are small and in most cases the kid will carry over good conduct when he gets older. I never saw the disipline problems in high school as I see there today. (That also isn't in the video)

No one is talking about getting rid of public schools. But their is room for private schools too and parents should be given a choice. Most private schools are cheaper. They don't have football, track, or other sports as public schools do. Many of the kids get better grades because they want to be there, not because they are forced to go. They don't act up for the same reason. So teachers can teach better and kids learn better with nothing to pull their attention away. Teachers in private schools are graded on how they teach and how children learn. If they aren't a good teacher they can be fired. If they are exceptionally good, they can be given a raise over other teachers. So they have a double incentiive of doing a better job. You don't have that in public schools.

Yes, we have plenty of problems with our school system and many Democrats are the ones preventing us from fixing it.

Keep sucking up to your George Bushes, Henry Paulsons, and Big Bankers while you lie to the American people that you stand for them and are charitable givings.

You are one deceitful (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*).

 

(*)(*)(*)(*) George W. Bush.

Any questions?

 

Atta boy...now you are coming around to your senses. However, I do wonder why you were originally defending his charitable contributions to the big bankers.

 

Who was talking about him? Both sides dabble with the big bankers. That's the beauty of fascism. But I was talking about conservatives vs liberals. The little guys, on main street. Not our handlers.

 

Sure, you were. You faux pas Republicans are always talking about small town conservatism and limited government to gain power, but do the opposite when you are in power, then proudly declare how generous you are with your money, while most red states receive more federal money than they pay.

Yawn.....another fake conservative up to bat. Who are you voting for, my I ask?

 

You believe in voting still, that's cute. Wake me up when you've crawled out of 2004.

 

lol..no. If I vote, I vote against the incumbent or support the third party.

Swing and miss......

I think voting is a false facade for tyranny.

 

Democracy in itself is tyranny by the slim majority.

 

And?

..........

 

What say I?

You are putting the cart before the horse. When by your estimation did participation in the church begin to drop off and when was LBJ's great society passed?

Government did not expand in response to the decline of church, government expansion caused the decline of church and destroyed local communities.

 

How is a Christian supposed to be able to speak on God's behalf ? None of the Christians I know or ever heard of, including myself and or any of the numerous ministers I have talked to, has ever mentioned that God sat down with them and had direct conversation.

 

"Pretty certain" and claiming "God says this and that" are two completely different worlds.

 

Democracy is worthless without an informed electorate. The media tells people who to vote for and the good little sheep do what they are told.

 

you mean to say this charity stopped when Bush left office ?
Thanks for the laugh , you cheered up my day.
