The Common Core of Sex in the Afternoon

Good Friday Morning!


Get a load of what your children will be reading in the 10th grade or so……

“Hugo and Felicia stripped in their room, dissolving easily into one another, and made love against the whitewashed walls. Hugo bit Felicia’s breast and left purplish bands of bruises on her upper thighs. He knelt before her in the tub and massaged black Spanish soap between her legs. He entered her repeatedly from behind.” Dreaming in Cuban

“He would rather die than take his thing out of me. Of me. Not until he has let go of all he has, and give it to me. To me. To me. When he does, I feel a power. I be strong, I be pretty, I be young.” The Bluest Eye

So you say…… “Not my kid!” Yes your kid. This is part of the reality of the Common Core. At first glance, the Common Core boast a lofty set of goals… The mission statement reads:

“The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy. ”

Well, that sounds good. We all want our children who are the future of this nation to have success in their college and careers. We want them to have a robust and relevant education. Check, got it….

It is a fact that many school districts are not as advanced as others and in this mobile society that we live in, we want to make sure that each ans every child would be able to move from one school district to another without feeling inadequate or unable to succeed. In other words, suppose your job had you relocate from say, Maryland, Massachusetts, or New York which boast the first second and third best schools in the nation to South Dakota, Nevada, Idaho or Mississippi (which are rated the worst) the education should at least be comparable and should proceed seamlessly —- removing all other factors. Check, got it….

In addition, with standardized testing, each child should have the same ability to score well and compete to attend the college of their choice without the burden of an inferior educational preparation. Check, got it…..

We ALL want our exceptionally, naturally gifted, offspring to achieve, excel and do well. No one has the desire to raise a household of male and female “Jethro Bodines” taking off their shoes to do their “go-zin-tas” for sums over 10.

Well, you would think we are all uneducated fools when we raised pointed, carefully researched questions about the costs, quality, validity, constitutionality and intrusiveness of Common Core. Bush thinks you are “purely political” beasts who are recklessly harming your own kids’ scholastic advancement.

“If you’re comfortable with mediocrity, fine. I’m not,” Bush hissed at Common Core critics. “(W)e’re not going to be able to sustain this extraordinarily exceptional country unless we challenge every basic assumption on how we do things.” Townhall

You see, the proponents of Common Core have taken on the sneer and ridicule mantle to press their point of intellectual superiority — especially where your kids are concerned. The message being “Unless you agree with me, you desire to raise stupid, unaccomplished children”.

So, do we have a right to question? Do we have a right to challenge. You Bet and You Better.

While the Common Core is fast becoming the mantra of education, you have a right to question the content. This concerns YOUR children, not the politicians or the school boards. For the life of me, I can not understand how lowered expectations in mathematics and ponography replacing great literature will “enhance” anything except…..

And finally, do we really want to make high school literature class worthy of a steamy sexual moment followed by a cigarette? Are we ready to be brow beaten by those who feel that by virtue of holding an elected office they might be “the decider” as to the level of “robust and relevant” sexual literature and experience each and every child should have before venturing out into the world?

Parents, educate thyself…

Gun Free Zones…….

Good Monday Evening.

Sad Day….

Today has been a somber day both in mood and weather. This morning’s evens which unfolded with horror before our eyes occurred on a military installation. As of now the casualty numbers stand at upwards of 13 dead, including the shooter.

Unfortunately, politics do not stop for this or ANY situation at all as witnessed by the address given by the President today, however, one argument will take over soon. That argument will be for “stricter gun control” laws. Even though time after time we have witnessed murder carried out in “gun-free zones” – public places where citizens are NOT legally able to carry guns.

“In 1993, among President Clinton’s first acts upon taking office in 1993 was to disarm U.S. soldiers on military bases. In March 1993, the Army imposed regulations forbidding military personnel from carrying their personal firearms and making it almost impossible for commanders to issue firearms to soldiers in the U.S. for personal protection. For the most part, only military police regularly carry firearms on base, and their presence is stretched thin by high demand for MPs in war zones.” Washington Times 2009

So, the suspected shooter, identified by the FBI as Aaron Alexis, 34, living in Fort Worth, is among the 13 dead. Alexis was a military contractor and a veteran of the US Navy.A military official said Alexis had been a Navy reservist on active duty before being discharged for misconduct.

Although the information is unfolding as to whether he had accomplices and his motive, it appears that Mr. Alexis had other past problems with the law. Alexis was armed with an assault rifle and a handgun, two law enforcement officials said. One said he also had a shotgun. One official said all the weapons have not been accounted for.

Navy Commander and witness Tim Jirus said he saw a man get shot in the head right in front of him. Jirus then fled the area. He said he didn’t get a look at the shooter.

Hundreds of workers in the Navy complex were forced to hide in place or flee for safety while gunshots echoed from a gunman firing into the cafeteria and other parts of the building.

Rick Mason, a program management analyst, said a gunman began shooting from a fourth-floor overlook in the hallway outside his office. He said the gunman was aiming down at people in the building’s cafeteria on the first floor.

It was like shooting at “fish in a barrel”.

Running, fleeing and hiding was all that the 3000 workers at the Naval Yard could do as they waited for help at the mercy of a crazy man with the advantage of being armed.

Standing Room Only at the September Wellington Meeting

Our Wellington Chapter of the Palm Beach County Tea Party held its meeting on Monday, Sept. 9th in the classroom at Total Wine in Wellington. People started arriving a full hour before the 7 PM meeting in order to get a seat. By the time the meeting started, it was standing room only.

The Chapter Coordinator, Marion Frank opened the meeting with a short discussion on Syria. She opined that the whole ordeal was a Wag The Dog scenario and was just meant to divert America’s attention away from all the scandals.

Henry Colon was called up to speak for a few minutes to introduce himself to the group. Henry is running as a Republican for Congressional District 21, the seat currently held by Ted Deutch.

Mel Grossman was formally introduced as the new President of the Palm Beach County Tea Party and he spoke for a moment about our future plans. He also spoke about the meeting we had in August with Dennis Michael Lynch, fighting the Amnesty bill with everything he’s got. We watched the beginning of Dennis’s documentary called “We Come To America, Part II”. If anybody wants to get a free copy of this chilling documentary, they can leave a message and let us know.

Janet Campbell gave an accurate accounting of what is coming with Common Core. Many Tea Partiers were hearing this information for the first time and they were shocked by what they heard. Janet offered a math example to everyone. She handed out index cards and asked everyone to multiply two compound numbers together. Most people were done in about 30 seconds and all got the correct answer. Janet then handed out the instruction sheet for Common Core way of doing the same  math problem. It involved drawing boxes and guessing. After about 4 minutes, Janet told everyone that it no longer matters if the right answer is found, as long as you show your work, the teacher cannot mark you wrong. It was also pointed out that the new American history books will skip over our Founding Fathers and begin with Abraham Lincoln. Our children in elementary school will also learn that Martin Luther King, Jr. will be labeled as a “founding father”. This was all the Tea Partiers needed to know about Common Core and all are ready to fight it in our state.

The next Tea Party meeting in Wellington will be held on Monday, October 14th.

Meet Elizabeth O’Bagy

Meet Elizabeth O’Bagy:

The cute college coed who almost led America to war.

“A Syrian researcher whose work was cited by Secretary of State John Kerry and Sen. John McCain during congressional hearings regarding the use of military force against the Syrian government has now been fired for lying on her resume about having a PhD.”

Elizabeth O’Bagy wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed piece that formed the basis for the administration’s claim regarding its need to go to war against Syria. However, the Institute for the Study of War fired O’Bagy once it discovered she did not have a PhD as she claimed.

Researcher who pushed for Syrian war fired for lying

Elizabeth O’Bagy, aged 26, is the Syrian “expert” Secretary of State John Kerry and Sen. John McCain cited in their pro-rebel Syria talk last week.

Well, what were her credentials? She could play soccer and she had a degree. Not a Ph.D., as she stated but a Bachelor’s degree and working on or almost completed an MA.

Well, she is quite talented…. and very persuasive in her writing …….but she has really should not have lied about her credentials. College kids can be so mischievous.

She is now the political director for the Syrian Emergency Task Force, a nonprofit rebel support group based in Washington, DC.

Fort Knox

Hello all I am new to the Tea Party, and so far have attended only one–the last meeting in Wellington, FL.

I have many questions, however will see how it goes, and if tea is for me, or not.

I received an info-mail the other day concerning our gold in Ft Knox.

Does anyone know if this is true or just unsubstantiated innuendo?

If our legislators do not know, they must demand a tour through the Ft. Knox facility. If it is true, it is their duty to inform their constituents immediately, and not play politics with the information.

In Defense of “My Peeps” …… They ain’t who you might think they are..

Good Tuesday Morning!

.

Ok, I have officially “had it” with the sanctimonious, self righteous, unable to speak proper English without “like” and “um” crowd. It occurs on both the “right” and the “left”. Who can forget the condescending “Bitter Clingers” statement:

“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them,” Obama said. “And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

I might mention that in his native Chicago, where children need “safe passage” workers to usher them to school, the gang members are clinging tightly to their guns. As of July 10, there have been 204 homicides in Chicago. But I digress…

As I have mentioned before, I a a voracious reader. Everything that comes under my purview receives a fair amount of attention…… Including the McCain family stories. Most notably Papa McCain and daughter Meghan…

I have daughters and I am fiercely protective and very “thin skinned” when it comes to my family, especially my two girls and my husband so I will tread lightly here.

I started to read the article this morning in “The American Thinker”, regarding Meghan’s statements about Republicans. The most bizarre thing about her usual diatribes would be that they always begin with an insult to the larger population —- of Republicans that is. She would eat her tongue before insulting the left. For any reason…..

She seems to believe that since her father, John McCain, is “Republican Royalty” by virtue of his war experience and longevity. To her he is the resident “Mavericky Badass” –her words not mine, she feels that she is far more intelligent than average and possesses the desire to spout off incessantly about how “clueless” and “rednecky” the rest of the party is. Forget the lack of personal accomplishments, she knows inherently in which direction the Republican should be marching.

So now little Meghan says “she respects the Republican Party, but wants to make clear: Some GOPers are crazy rednecks. She’s just not one of them”. She also demurely says that “although people think I am the voice of the young Republicans, I am not”.

Well, I guess I am one of the “rednecks”, having spent a great deal of time in the South and Midwest, and having LOTS of family who re-located to Texas….. I enjoy the country music, friendships, shooting at the range, riding a horses and the people. I have a friend from Jamaica who we introduced to a senior Marine NCO, they fell in love, married, retired to Montana with their two young children. They are all rednecks, she has a Jamaican redneck like me. And the babies are biracial “rednecks.” I suppose they are also Republicans and crazy…. I don’t know about the kids yet.. (smile)

I can never forget how ON THE DAY that I received my Ph.D. The “big crazy redneck” who was the dean of the Business College at one of the largest public universities in the Midwest appointed me as an Assistant Professor. I was also a Research Fellow at this den of “crazy rednecks” also known as one of the top public universities. But, of course, they do not have the enlightenment of people such as Meghan.

She ended the interview with some insight, however: We’re losing young voters, women voters and minority voters.” …..she added: “The extreme right wing of the party is still running everything. I love the Republican Party and respect and appreciate my role in it, even though I know some people don’t appreciate my role in it.”

Well, yes, the women are back and forth and the minorities have got to be worked on, but not for the simplistic reasons she outlined…. Nope, the “extreme right” is not in charge, I guess if you take into account morals and values I would be in that group, so I’m not really “feelin’ the power”. But she did get one statement right, a great deal of people do not appreciate her role, whatever it is….
