Turning The Ballot Box Against Republicans

Okay, fair enough (Although "Someone once said" is like the sources for quotes used on Faux News)

But if you start regarding all the wannabees as "the same" as Hitlers, Caesars, and Ayatollahs, you hurt your own argument.

I've been trying to source it. I think it was a German and it may have been Goerte or even Hegel.

That's close enough for me. I believe it was a legitimate quote - just messin' with you.

Actually I am surprised I can't find it and that I can't remember the exact wording. I'm getting old. Very old.

Its christians like you who make me anti religious. And I stand by my statement. I see no difference between them.

Some similarities with Gray's elegy.

Some village-Hampden, that with dauntless breast

The little tyrant of his fields withstood;

Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest,

Some Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood.

Elegy is one of my favorite long pieces. Thanks for reminding me.

I had to study it for A level, so it's lost a bit of its appeal.

I know what you mean, I read all the books I forced to analyze under duress in AP English year later and finally enjoyed them.

I would take good notes and essay back what the teacher lectured. I read VERY little of the books. It took years before I'd pick up a Thomas Hardy book. I still hate Silas Marner.

I never read it until I had to teach it, only to be told I'd be teaching something else. I feel robbed.

Charter Schools Unconstitutional In Washington, No More Public Funds
http://reverbpress.com/discovery/living/education/charter-schools-washington-public-funds/

Charter schools are nothing but religious indoctrination schools masquerading so as to deceive the public from the necessary separation of church and state.

Charter schools promote racism, classism, religious fanaticism and they create terrorists that the public will have to once again fund to rid ourselves of in the future.

Why would it be ethical to support schools that create a further public burden on taxpayers down the road due to untoward education practices?

Reading, righting, rithmetic and NOT religion...

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE HUMAN STUPIDITY, GREED AND THE LOVE OF POWER

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln

How many times does this nonsense have to play out before Americans learn that angry fundamentalists elected the Republicans that took everything they had?

Labor Day is in honor of American unions -- which gave us the weekend, the 40-hour workweek, were instrumental in improving worker safety and unemployment insurance, and -- most importantly -- gave middle-class Americans the bargaining power they needed in the three decades after World War II to get a fair share of the economic gains. But the demise of unions has also contributed to the demise of the middle class and the persistence of poverty even among the working poor. That's why we need to strengthen unions -- especially among low-wage workers in retail stores (i.e.Walmart), fast-food (especially McDonald, Burger King, and the rest), hospitals, hotel chains, eldercare, childcare, and home healthcare.

COMMENT:
If union labor leaders were so "crooked" (as some have said in this thread) why has the middle class wealth fallen in direct correlation to the fall of the unions?

That was a dirty trick. Better you than me.

I hope this is a sign of things to come.

Nearly every major problem in this world can be traced back to a republican...

Me too

Another blight on democracy instituted by George W Bush...

As if we need "more religious" out of touch people...
