Aren't they more involved in their children's schooling than many who don't send their kids to Catholic schools?

Paul, i’m pretty sure i’ve heard liberals describe themselves as pro choice. why not offer the choice? if you’re pro choice, you should
support school choice. Not even close. Don't conserv. say they believe in personal freedom (until they don't believe that)?

how the heck do you go from school
choice to segregated schools? poor black people
desperately want school choice. why would they ask for crappy segregated schools? are you saying that the darkies LOLare too stupid to know what’s best for their kids? But isn't that what you constantly say about inner city blacks? That they are "too stupid" to understand that the Dems. try to hook them on aid so they will vote for the Dems. ?
Isn't that a racist belief?

good lord your are a smug elitist when you want to be.

typical smug elitist...we'll send you some moonshine and overalls to show appreciation, you don't want to be wearing skinny jeans and drinking a latte if you visit a red state, you saw Deliverance...right?

[PaulS]

I was wondering when you would come back w/a snarky comment. Such a bad look on a grown man.

I've visited lot of red states. Been to brentwood TN 3 - 4 times (one of Jim's favorites I believe). TN Titan games were fun. Had a great time each time.

was it me (!who can’t help insulting people), or was it you ( who would never do such a thing) who said people are moving to red states because they can’t compete in blue states?

Get over yourself.

my brother owned his own company in Litchfield CT. 15 years ago, i helped him figure out what he’d save by moving the family and the business to TN. It was over $3,000 a month in his pocket, so he moved to a spectacular Nashville suburb called Franklin. Beautiful small town to raise a family. I’m not saying I’d want to raise my kids in downtown Memphis ( nor would I want to do it in Hartford) but Franklin TN is as nice as any upper middle class suburb in CT. at nowhere near the cost. same with Hollis NH, Fort Mill SC, many other places.

Left to their own devices Red states will decimate public education
To start
Welcome to DeSantisstan where former servicemembdrs and their spouses can teach on a certificate: “She was a waitress. She starts teaching 3rd grade next week & the only thing she had to do to get this teaching certification was to observe certified teachers…she had to ask me what I meant by phonetic spelling.

Texas short 3000 teachers
Remember when y’all told all the teachers they should quit if they didn’t like the crappy pay and public hate? They took your advice..

the GOP's goal is to destroy public education and replace it with gated private schools for the elite, religious indoctrination for the middle class and child labor for the children of the poor. Loading the public schools with incompetent teachers advances that goal.

oh, of course not. maybe it wasn’t aimed at me directly paul, but it was smug and elitist. sorry if saying so, triggered you.

Lucky for you that you live in CT, lots of safe spaces where you can curl up with your blanky and suck you’re thumb and watch The View until you feel better.

i posted that the public high schools in Hollis NH and Franklin TN were ranked much higher than the public school in the nice CT suburb where i live.

No one who lives in those places, , is worried that the state is going to ruin the public schools.

let me get this straight. The GOP, the ones who support school
choice for poor kids, secretly want to take poor kids out of school
entirely and make them
slaves?

you’re saying the gop caters to the wealthy, yet you also say the GOP is the hime to the trashy poor. which is it?

you should publish a newsletter. I bet David Hinkley would subscribe.

See you can't help yourself.

Floriduh is certifying incompetent people to teach
Texas is short thousands of competent teachers

the GOP's goal is to destroy public education and replace it with gated private schools for the elite, religious indoctrination for the middle class and child labor for the children of the poor. Loading the public schools with incompetent teachers advances that goal.

New Hampshire doesn’t fit that category
Floriduh isn’t in it
Give them time, the Supreme Theocratic Court can’t do it all in one term.

I also listed TN, jackass. is TN not a red state?

supreme theocratic court. you just don’t get it. I’ve been opposed to slaughtering babies longer than i’ve been a catholic. one isn’t connected to the other.

Abortion isn’t in the constitution. nor is privacy. therefore those are state issues, as long as states don’t decide them in ways that violate the constitution. There’s no religion whatsoever in that thought process, just a rational and honest consideration of what’s in the constitution, and what’s not in the constitution.

sticking to what’s in the constitution, is the best way to safeguard freedoms. If you’re ok with liberals bending it to fit their personal causes, then you’d better be ok with conservatives also doing the same when they are in power

Best to let us, the people, decide through our elected officials.

Problem is, the court had been liberal for 50 years and you never considered the possibility of that changing, let alone changed single handedly by someone you’re deranged with hate for.

The Supreme Court of the Theocracy decided to outlaw abortion

In his Rome speech on religious liberty, Justice Alito mocked "foreign leaders" who condemned his opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, including Boris Johnson, Macron, Trudeau, and ... Prince Harry.

Of Boris, Alito quipped: "He paid the price."

It’s clear that Alito has a lot of ego wrapped up in his authorship of the Dobbs opinion. Which underscores that it wasn’t an objective, dispassionate application of the law.

Who would have guessed?

Wrong. Lie.

They decided that it's a state issue. The Supreme Court didn't even come close to outlawing abortion.

Wrong. Lie.
The extreme right wing Supreme Court decided to throw out a decades old decision based on religious reasons.
Alito said as much in Rome.

They didn't decree that anything was illegal. Nothing.

And Ruth Bader Ginsberg had also said that the Roe decision was flawed (nothing to do with religion, just that it was a bad legal ruling). But it's OK when she says it.

There's nothing religious about wanting unelected judges to stick to their oath and abide by the constitution. That's a secular argument, not a religious one.

Samuel Alito: Top US judge mocks world leaders over abortion ruling


"I had the honour this term of writing I think the only supreme court decision in the history of that institution that has been lambasted by a whole string of foreign leaders who felt perfectly fine commenting on American law," Mr Alito said.

"One of these was Boris Johnson, but he paid the price,"

HOW so?


Referring to religious liberty, he said it was "under attack in many places because it is dangerous to those who want to hold complete power".

the old christians are being attacked for their faith MANTA


Yep just another example the ruling had nothing to do with Mans Law

But he ruled for God's law

religious liberty, and the question of whether abortion is in the constitution, are different.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito decried what he called “hostility to religion,” as he made his first public remarks since the release of his opinion overturning the constitutional right to abortion.
The hostility toward religion comes from people who are tired of having someone else’s religious beliefs forced upon them. Religious freedom is 100% protected in this country but that doesn’t mean you can legally impose it on others, though the radical SCOTUS & GOP do it anyway.

A consultant to Doug Mastriano, the Republican nominee for governor in PA, says that he doesn't want Ben Shapiro (and other Jews) in his movement unless they “repent” and renounce their Jewish faith.

This is what Christian nationalism looks like.
