Thanks for your insight. I think that you are right. Republicans can never sell anything straight because the American public will not buy it. Instead, they sell us x when it is really y.

If you have a dumb populous then you can sell them just about anything…like a war against a country that hasn’t attacked us.

Thanks again.

Public schools have been teaching Darwinism and that’s “evil” in W’s eyes. The best way Republicans saw to dismantle public education and steer young people to private schools was to have a plan that would make most public schools fail. The second part of the plan was to give taxpayer’s money to private, religious schools to teach creationism.

Now, 10 years later, the Bush plan is fully in effect and functioning as the Republicans had planned. Their only disappointment is that not enough public schools are “failing” so they’ll be turning up the heat during the 2008 campaign season.

By the way, one of their biggest enabler’s in the Asheville Citizen-Times is the cartoonist Tinsley who draws the unimaginative political cartoon, “Mallard Filmore.” Notice the constant attack on public education in his daily cartoon. This is not by chance, this is by design.
