    PLEASE PASS THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS--LET THEM KNOW MORE ABOUT POLITICS AND PUBLIC POLICY THE FORMER MAINSTREAM MEDIA WON'T TELL. THANKS

    1. The Propaganda in Our Ed Schools, By Sol Stern, Minding the Campus, 10/27/10


    Teachers in our government schools come from colleges and university "teaching schools or departments. Wonder why your child is in a classroom with a teacher promoting scientific frauds? Why are they promoting higher taxes, understand terrorist culture or diversity that demeans people?

    "
    Radical Math held its third annual conference in New York last weekend. Four hundred high school math teachers and education professors attended the conference on "Creating Balance in an Unjust World: Math Education and Social Justice." At thirty-two workshops on Long Island University's Brooklyn campus and in half a dozen city public schools, math teachers demonstrated classroom lessons to help students understand society from a "liberatory," anti-capitalist perspective. For example, one workshop demonstrated how student math projects could be used to "explore the distribution of wealth in the United States and imagine more socially just alternatives." Another showed how math problems could be structured to "empower and inspire students to change their world. This workshop will examine the Personal Proof Project, connecting Geometric proofs and activism." At the Radical Math conference I attended three years ago, University of Massachusetts Professor Marilyn Frankenstein proposed that elementary school teachers who truly care about social justice should instruct their students that in a "just society," food would "be as free as breathing the air."

    Sick. Sick. Sick. Government schools are failures for education, successful for radicalism.

    2. ABC News Fact Check: Did the Stimulus Ship Jobs to China?, ABC News Conducts an Investigation Into the Truth of Campaign Claims From Both Parties, By JONATHAN KARL, 10/27/10


    "Is Baron Hill running for Congress in Indiana or China?" asks one typical ad being run by the National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC). "Baron Hill supported the $800 billion failed stimulus package that created renewable energy jobs in China."
    Another ad says West Virginia Democrat Nick Rahall's stimulus vote "helped foreign companies create Chinese jobs making windmills."
    The NRCC is running variations of that ad against 30 Democrats who voted for the stimulus, accusing them of spending tax dollars to create jobs in China."
    China holds upwards of $800 billion in U.S. Treasury notes. Is this the payback for keeping the United States from going bankrupt?

    3. Routine Wilderness Bill Sparks Immigration Outcry, Enforcement Advocates Worry Bill Will Hamper Border Security, By Elise Foley, Washington Independent, 10/29/10

    Obama and the Democrats will use any excuse to give illegal aliens free reign to sneak into our country. Now they are using environmental laws to keep the Border Patrol from capturing illegal aliens.
    "In other wilderness areas, particularly Pima County in southern Arizona, wilderness designation areas set by the Arizona Wilderness Act of 1990 have at times corresponded with areas with higher levels of illegal immigration. Most experts dismiss the connection and attribute the rise in immigration to increased border enforcement elsewhere: As fences and security made it more difficult to cross the border into California, immigrant guides, or “coyotes,” began to move through lands where they could better avoid detection."
    Is it possible that Obama could be this devious? Think Obamacare before answering?
    4. Did a Small Stimulus Doom the Democrats?, By Kevin Drum, Mother Jones, 10/26/10 http://motherjones.com/kevin-drum/20...doom-democrats
    To the Left you can never spend enough money, never.
    "Could the administration have gotten a bigger stimulus through Congress? Even if it couldn’t, would it have been better off making the case for a bigger plan, rather than pretending that what it got was just right? We’ll never know.
    What we do know is that the inadequacy of the stimulus has been a political catastrophe. Yes, things are better than they would have been without the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act: the unemployment rate would probably be close to 12 percent right now if the administration hadn’t passed its plan. But voters respond to facts, not counterfactuals, and the perception is that the administration’s policies have failed."
    5. Fox News Poll: Most Dissatisfied With Washington, Fox News, 10/29/10 http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010...on-1566102765/
    The election in a few days is a repudiation of the Democrat Party.
    The 2008 elections were a repudiation of the Republican Party.
    The Tea Party movement is a repudiation of the GOP and the Democrats, politics as usual.
    "Two-thirds of voters are dissatisfied with the way things are going in the country today, and more than not think Barack Obama’s presidency has made the country weaker (45 percent) rather than stronger (37 percent).
    The president’s job[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME~1/MYPC/LOCALS~1/Temp/msohtml1/01/clip_image001.gif[/IMG]
    approval among registered voters is currently 41 percent, a record low. This compares to 43 percent in mid-October and 46 percent in early September. Half disapprove of Obama’s performance. Among likely voters, negative sentiment is even stronger: 40 percent approve and 55 percent disapprove."
