Hey POPS....
How is being a successful RE attorney and national talk show host being a low life?
No one owes you anything... get over it.
Most of the comments are so irrelevant and meaningless its embarrassing to read. People on both sides have points to make. Unfortunately liberals don't make points relevant to the issue, just throw mud in neaderthal language. Two words - grow up.
OK, I'll take a stab: All children are indoctrinated. It's called "child-rearing". That said, I think what people object to is children being indoctrinted, at public expense, in things with which they disagree. (Isn't that the basis for the furor about "prayer in schools"? Some think it's good for the kids, some want to use the schools to proselytize, some think school is not the place for it, others just hate religion.)
Well, here's what I learned in public school, 1970 - 1982:
be nice to each other
don’t hit, even when hit
share and cooperate, even with
people who won’t share and cooperate
all races and cultures are basically
the same but we must respect differences even when they are strange, offensive or damaging to us
the policeman is your friend
don’t play with matches
don’t do drugs
the government has a solution to every problem
progressive/liberal/new = good
traditional/conservative = bad
secular = good
religious = bad
labor = good
business/corporations = bad
animals and stone-age humans = good
modern humans = bad
progressive taxation = good
laissez-faire = bad
all violence, including self-defense = bad
guns = bad
obey the rules, even when others don’t and we do nothing to enforce them
criticism of certain groups and ideas is unacceptable, even when true.
stereotypes are false
I'm guessing that whether or not agrees with these things will largely determine whether or not one objects to them being taught in school.
This much is true: My profound distrust of government and authority is due to my long exposure to the public school system.
Good call by Boortz. Don't always agree with him, but dead on here. The ever increasing dumbening of our citizen by the ever worsening of our public schools is the #1 threat to this country. One only has to look at the inane TV shows that dominate not only the ratings but news headlines as well, so see this.
Drastic changes in our educational system are needed, but the unions won't allow it. More money is the only solution they will allow. We've tried that, it doesn't work.
I noticed that Ellen doesn't feel that Boortz has the right to critisize the war effort as he never served.
Okay, good point, now does that also mean that we don't have to put up with liberal bedwetters discussing the war as they also, never served?

Nothing is more ridiculous than the idea that in order to support a policy, you must volunteer your time and services to it.
I support the police, but I am not headed to the academy to join the force.
Anyone who believes anything they hear in any news source is pretty stupid. News is all about sensationalism and ratings now, it has little to do with actual information. Everything should be taken with a grain of salt.
Many facts have been provided... follow up with the research and be educated. It's actually quite fun to learn something new
stosh: Well, sir, you don't have to "buy" it. It happened and my experience is just as valid as any of the other anecdotal blather on this thread.
BTW, I think you're being disingenuous. No one stood up in a class and said "religion is bad"; religions *were* consistently depicted as enemies of progress, science, etc. - which they often were - but seldom, if ever, was religion given any credit for moral and philosophical ideas or reform movements - especially in the modern era.John T
No, $40,000 is not a great salary when you are working 8 to 5 all year long. But, it is when you are working 8 to 3 for nine months of the year plus all holidays and winter and spring breaks.

I agree here as well. Our ever increasing government dependence is also allowing parents to think they are not responsible for their children.
That's ridiculous. You had a choice to keep your third child and I am glad you chose to do so. It doesn't make me happy that babies are aborted anymore than anyone else. My whole point here is IT IS NOT THE GOVERMENT'S DECISION!!!!
BTW: I didn't say pregnancy was a necessary evil I said abortion was.
How 'bout this: If more people had abortions there would be less need for welfare.
Wait, I got it. You're aparently all for Gov't control so how about no more than three kids per family or the gov't will force you to have an abortion? The gov't knows best right?
I can argue using your brand of logic too.
However teacher's union deserve their lion's share of the blame.
Okay stupid, Yes they are a news NETWORK.
However, the shows as I mentioned earlier, which you obviously missed, are in fact OPINION SHOWS on that network.
Hellooo yourself!
claudo, My allegations are from polls of the citizens, that show that 80% of Americans want the illegals stopped, and watching current news that shows a real lack of support for stopping illegals by democrats, how about the fence that was passed in the previous congress?
If you are giving the news, DO THAT. Do Not Mix the two. The alphabet channels do it all the time
Why don't you just admit that you like your talking points better than you like his talking points? How intelligent are you, stash?
Using your argument, so does Fox.

Afraid not. Not when its a newscast.
I lived in that area for a couple of years. It is a scary area and when I was out in the country I always had a gun close to me.
Beautiful area and many neat people but over run with cockroaches, the human kind
Dude, you haven't provided anything but right-wing talking points here all day. Not one fact, no evidence for anything, nothing but intolerance and dumb parroting of what you've been told.
I have zero respect for you. Until you show me a glimmer of intelligence, don't try to tell me what to do.
Stosh
I'm not telling you to go away. You just keep calling everyone elses imput Bullshit. Thats all you say. it's old.
Why don't you just admit that you like your talking points better than you like his talking points? How intelligent are you, stash?
