Anti Government Wing Nut Doesn’t Get It
Once again an anti government wing nut on facebook doesn’t get it. The government doesn’t do anything for him. He receives no benefits from government at all, he claims. It is this level of cluelessness that makes me glad that they are revamping the school system. He apparently removed the comment before my reply could be posted.
Anti Vaxxers are child killers
So this person and his family and friends don’t mind being child killers. But that is okay he has his six degrees. To bad he got schooled by me and my junior college degree.
e.
Jesus a great guy, not so much.
Except for the time he killed the fig tree for not blooming for him out of season Mark 11:12-14
And that peacemaker stuff, not so much.
Matthew 10:34
Or the time he stole a donkey
Luke 19: 28-34
Or a bit of bigotry against Canaanites
Matthew 15: 22-26

Today’s work schedule included a trip to Tampa, two different sites in Orlando and then back to West Palm Beach. It was a hell of a day but everything got done.
Right Wing Lies About Voter Suppression
So the right wing news has put forth another falsehood. This time I took the screen shot after posting my reply
.
What my reply was.
Wow! Let’s look at this misleading picture. Now lets get some facts.
1) According to 2014 Census Data there are 206,072,000 registered voters in the US.
2) Cost to get a voter registration in the US $0.00
3) States that won’t allow you to vote with your voters registration? 20.
4) India requires you to fill out a form 6 in order to get a voter ID. You can see one here.

5) Cost for filling out a Form 6? $0
6) Number of provinces in India that require Real ID or something other than a voter ID? 0.
7) In the US the Real ID laws are now being stuck down by judges as suppressive. The federal judge in the Wisconsin case said the following in her ruling.
“But no matter how imprecise my estimate may be, it is absolutely clear that Act 23 will prevent more legitimate votes from being cast than fraudulent votes.”
The facts are quite simple the republican party doesn’t want the poor, elderly, or non whites to vote. They have shown that time and time again with things like the Real ID laws the limiting of early voting, and the restrictions on registering to vote. If they could find a way to strike down the 19th amendment they would
Right Wing Hypocriasy
The simple fact is that the right wing does not want to raise the minimum wage because it would get people off of government programs like Snap, and welfare. If the right wing complains about those programs they can cut those programs without having to cut wages.
The right wing has no interest in helping others, especially others who are not rich.
Moderate Christians, not really deserving of the respect they want.
So this was another of those ridiculous facebook posts that was put up where it seems no one actually knows what the bible says. Once again it is my job to correct them. This was my response.
Ah yes, the hypocrisy of the moderate christian and the new testament. Let’s look at what comes from the new testament.
Matt 5:17
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.“
That does not sound like a renouncing of old laws it sounds like a confirmation of them.
It is very nice to see that many Christians are coming around on the gay marriage issue. Much like they did on interracial marriage and slavery. Here in Florida and many other states the law that was passed that recognized marriage as one man and one woman was done because of popular vote. The difference between the westboro baptist church and the “moderate christian” who voted for the one man one woman amendment, a lack of a God Hates Fags sign. The one thing that has made me strive for hope is that the check and balance of the government actually seems to be working in that the courts recognize the stupidity and repression by large groups of people and are choosing to reject it. Hopefully Scalia will be the only dissenting voice when it does finally come before SCOTUS.
I am sorry if this is not the positive reinforcement you came here looking for but the ugly side of this hasn’t gone away. They are still sending kids to reeducation camps and gay therapy programs. In lieu of that they are kicking them out of the house and on the street. The wonderful example of Christian love and forgiveness. Ah yes but that is not you. You are different. Excuse me if I look at the actions and not the words.
Common Core, it’s not for your parents.
The more I read about common core and the people who are opposed to it , the more I see why we need this reform done in our schools. After years of traditional school methods and the failure of no child left behind and training kids to pass tests and not to actually learn something the more common core begins to appeal to me.
The old methods squashed critical thinking and actually teaching methods of understanding what you were doing. From what I see in common core that is going to end and not just knowing the answer is no longer enough. You have to be able to explain how you got the answer.
The problem now is that parents who were part of the school system that failed them can’t help their kids with their homework and don’t understand the concepts behind some of the new methods with common core. Which to me goes to reinforce why we need common core. So that the kids get something better than what their parents got. So if you are a parent who objects to common core, you might have to realize you are the reason we need common core.
