hypocrisy of "fiscally responsible" conservatives

Lincoln was one of our most educated presidents, his early childhood education was done with lessons on the back of a coal shovel using ash as a writing implement on a dirt floor log cabin, You dont need $$ to educate, just drive, determination and good teachers.

yup. I think "common core" is just about the worst thing to hit the education system ever. Kids cant add at the job.

And so the hypocrisy continues. "of course, I'd rather they..." BUT you still keep voting for the same people who continue to cut education and throw billions at weapons and war. You still keep defending them. So, no, you don't really want that. Because if you did, you wouldn't vote republican.

And you ask why millennials are dumb.

I should have pointed out that the United States is the only nation with more than one aircraft carries. The left has been dumbing down education with it's views on sex, economics etc, But the right has also been lacking understanding of the science of abortion, evolution etc. ''no one spends your money as frugally and economically as you do, so waste is a huge problem" The future of America is a waste? "The ever increasing power of the teacher's unions, who aggressively fight school choice, even though it has been shown to be overwhelmingly the desire of parents, especially black parents in the inner city." People will always insert their beliefs into things.
"It was a lie 100 years ago, and it's a lie today." PC didn't start till the 80'.

When I said "The future of America is a waste?" I wasn't saying you thought that. My point was it's bad if in 20 years the military has no smart people in it.

Did you know if you compare the military as a society to America, there are more advanced degrees per capita?

"The Leftist takeover of the education system started in earnest in the 1910s." Leftist in the 1910s is nothing like modern day left. "Are you seriously asking that question....?" Yes.

Leftism in the 1910s was closer to Classical liberalism.

I never said Marx was a Classical liberal.

And no nation has invaded the US. Wierd.

Tool there where no carriers then

It's that exact "keep'em dumb" attitude that let's the GOP cut revenue and then increase spending. Because, in the words of Vice President Cheney "Reagan taught us that deficits don't matter." because uneducated people can't do math but they can pull a trigger when ordered.

As if your stock answer, "You leftists," does?

Idiot.

It's obvious you would prefer an uneducated nation. An idiocracy.

Now I can keep being the most lethal force on the planet.
