Spell check is a reply to this devastating article? The things that spell check allows are a nightmare to an old teacher like me.

Explaining Romney's Surge

There was a meeting of business and industry leaders a few weeks ago and they said that their number 1 problem hiring new workers is that they cannot pass a drug test. Here in rural Georgia, they built a new prison and had to go out of state to hire worker who could read and write well enough to fill out the applications.(please don't mock my state, my home). We have a real education problem, and I have heard very few comments about Gov. Jeb Bush's inspirational, excited speech at the GOP convention about what is possible in the future.
Susan Rice is first, but I believe she tacitly understood that she was going to 'take one for the team' when she went to the Sunday shows. As for Mrs. Clinton, that ship has sailed. She will NEVER be president now. As Obama was drowning, he pulled her under with him. My mama use to say pretty is as pretty does. I guess the opposite is true as well; ugly is as ugly does.
Evangelicals are not sitting...period! Do you not remember Chick fil A Wednesday? That was like an alarm clock ringing in Christians' ears. Not only that day, but then the dems bood God being added back into their platform. Conservatives will turn out in record numbers, and we will be a strong part of that turnout!
As a long time teacher in the rural south where poverty is more than a word, I cannot tell you how messed up these new ideas on education are. One of my main functions in the classroom was to teach 'self-esteem'. Really? I thought that self-esteem was something that happened to us as we realized that we had accomplished something real and it belonged to us internally and would forever be ours. I guess you can tell I'm one of those old-fashioned, 3R's, drill and repetition teachers. The parents liked me; the administration less so.
So, now we know the reason for Obama's 2009 apologia tour. I guess he believed that foreign money was worth bowing to the King of Saudia Arabia and Japan.

"The heart that feels not now is dead; the blood of his children will curse his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole." Thomas Paine, The Sunshine Patriot. True in 1776 and true in 2012.
As a retired teacher, I saw children daily that I knew would not have a meal until they saw me again. Many great programs to feed hungry children are around. One is Backpack Buddies or a name similar which sends food home on the weekend. Instead of dictating what we can eat, why not put your power and position behind a proven winner and actually feed kids? I encourage each of you to look around your own communities for an opportunity like this and support it with your time or money. Michelle's plan, should Obama be reelected, is supermarket reform! What the heck is that? I get mad if they move the soup, but I don't think that is what she has in mind.
A tiny restriction. To paraphrse, 'First they came for the gypsies, but I wasn't a gypsy so I said nothing. Then they came for the disabled, but I wasn't disabled...then they came for me and there was noone left to speak.'! That is the true threat to a "tiny restriction".
I am so damned(sorry, 1st time I have ever used profanity in a post) tired of this feminist mantra. I'm a 63 year old retired teacher. I have had access to abortion, education, and job opportunities ALL my life. Get a new horse; you have beaten this one to death! Oh, I am also a Christian and that's my only right that I have seen diminished in my lifetime.
Have you heard ANYONE other than liberals and their lapdog media speak about 'black people', racism, Islamaophobia, hurting the poor, stealing from the elderly, or killing people? I have not, and I have time to listen.
