I believe it is. Most of those kids could at least read. The reason we lag behind other countries is the lack of parental support and terrible curriculum, not to mention teachers that place more value on indoctrinating our children than teaching them the basic skills - like reading - to allow them to further educate themselves.

I thought we were talking about musicians.

Back-orders for private or government entities? It was said by one ammo company that only 5% of their production was for government buys. Right.

Out of all the dangers spelled out in his piece, you latch onto that. Shallow does not even begin to describe you.

That is a brilliant statement - "realize that many blacks need to work twice as hard as they have always worked to be working as hard as others have always worked." You just hit the nail on the head and provided many with an effective come back to that tired old excuse.

Excellent

Unfortunately, he knows all too much and has been very successful in his divide and conquer and "look, a bird!" distractions. Every scandal that has been revealed this month and all though his presidency are due to his push for utter lawlessness, his hatred of those that oppose, not him, but his politics and goals, and his stop at nothing tactics. This information was available long before he was elected the first time, but most people were too focused on how good they would feel to elect the first black president. Obama has pretty much ensured that that act will definitely go down in history as the worst thing that has happened to this country. It's not because he is black - it is because no on has the guts to stand up to him because they will be called racist. If the GOP had had the courage to keep him in line during his first term, at least they wouldn't be complicit in his actions. But the press and all the black people cried racist and unfair! Idiots all and now we all have to pay for the destruction that he has caused to our country at home and abroad.

Perhaps you did not mean it in the way I took it, but comparing Ford to Biden is just wrong. At least Ford had the good sense to keep his mouth shut most of the time, and he was a decent, kind man. Biden is so absolutely stupid and crass and so full of hate for normal people, it just drips off of him. He shoots of his mouth about anything and everything and every word is asinine. I would impeach Obama in a second, even knowing that Biden would take over. Biden is the wrong color for absolute lock-step support and would soon be laughed into a hopefully harmless corner.

Not many. People in fly-over country usually think for themselves. Why else do you think that part of the country is red? Most people in my old neck of the woods still have morals and respect for themselves and their country.

Ken, they are spending their own money to do what - try to influence the making of law in the this country? It's wonderful that they are feeding, clothing, whatever the people in their congregation. That is their absolute right and requirement. But they should be working with those people to get them legal "legally", not through making people think that all Evangelicals are "turning" to their way and need to ante up for amnesty (which is the only alternative to actually enforcing the laws at this point). I don't care what you call it, they are trying to use their influence incorrectly.
