I must say, Ann, ever since 2008 you have really come unglued. I used to think you were a trustworthy writer. Not anymore. You truly are just another north easterner looking to impose your version of fascist government upon America. Party affiliation doesn't really matter. After all, Rubio's immigration reform isn't much different from Romney's or Christies or for that matter, Ronald Reagan's. They were and are, all, bad for this country. Apparently, you choose depending upon your sun-up, mood swings.

Let us not overlook the history of the American Dream, in that, many of our parents were rewarded by hard work, individual effort and self-improvement. None of these character traits required taxes to support state run universities and colleges, which then overcharge for the worthless, yet culturally necessary educations they overcharge for. Does no one notice that higher education institutions are double charging? Does no one notice that most degrees are obtained and provide absolutely nothing more than what one can get with self-discipline and a self-motivated desire to learn? Most degrees prove nothing when it comes to true knowledge of a particular field of endeavor. 'Education,' in modern state institutions subverts free minds.

Define, "mentally-ill."

Darn... I was looking forward to all the ads showing her naked body.

The last thing anyone should be doing on a 'conservative' site is providing links to this moron. Perhaps a one line article: "CNN picks another loser: Piers Morgan's ratings dive lower than his IQ. Hurray!" Intelligent people know why his ratings are sinking. Saying anything more is too much information for the low information non-thinking person with a nerve ganglion instead of a functioning brain. Non-compos mentis drooling nitwits don't need to be given more opportunities to be hazed. Face it folks, conservatives are ignored by the MSM. When they talk about 'em they mock 'em. That's why the message doesn't get out. Conservative media should ignore the left except to make an example of them. Mock 'em, knock 'em and kick 'em.

I think you meant to say, inviting Inflation of the money supply and devaluation of the dollar. Maybe not, but I sure hope so.

Usher claims that the alternative is to run the schools ala Chairman Mao? I maintain that ending the disease of Public Education and a thorough cleansing of it through total privatization is the only solution to the depravity and the decline of our society. Where do you think generation after generation has learned the lack of personal responsibility? Lack of respect for others and instead to focus upon ones selfish desires? Sexual promiscuity? Out of wedlock birth? No moral boundaries? Covetousness? Legalized theft? Greed? Hatred of parents? Good grief... This all in the curriculum of every Public School in the nation. There are NO good public schools. This legislation will solve nothing. It will only expand government.

Actually, one of the reasons so many children are being raised outside of marriage is the lesson plan of the 'education system,' includes a feminist world-view, a gay rights worldview and a sexually promiscuous worldview. Add generational corruption to that formula and sprinkle it with a good dose of The Great Society and the welfare worldview, a heavy dose of NO discipline allowed, situation ethics, psycho-babble from the "experts," a plethora of socio-economic theories and mix with foreign students who require interpreters and you get the ugly mess our society has LEARNED from the state 'education' system. It actually did what it was/is intended to do.

Shutting down Public Education would be a much better solution to the disease which is bred within those hallowed halls of disinformation and indoctrination. Society is breaking down because of generation after generation of being fed government by the bushel.

The best thing every state, county and municipality in these united States can do is shut down the Public Education System. That single move would take about three groups of individuals moving through a twelve year program of real education to cleanse the disease of public education from the people and it would go much further than any of this psycho-babble intervention, evaluation, rehab that society has tolerated and suffered from for the past 70 years. Discipline, values and a personal sense of decent, respect for others and a clear understanding of personal responsibility would do more to turn this nation around than anything else. Shut down the breeding ground of iniquity and you solve the problem(s).

This just sounds like another jobs program from the state to a few friends who will require a new building or a new wing addition to an existing court house. A few state 'magistrates' to oversee the proceedings. Several new social workers hired to supervise the now labeled abusers, and an army of paper pushers and data entry personnel. Of course they will all need desks and computers and all sorts of new cars, parking spaces and pensions and benefits and big salaries courtesy of the tax payers and lots of free goodies to go along with their prestigious new positions. How stupid are people anyway?
