The New Class," F.H. Buckley wrote, “What should be an elevator to the upper class is stalled on the ground floor. Part of the fault for this may be laid at the feet of the system’s entrenched interests: the teachers’ unions and the higher-education professoriate. Our schools and universities are like the old Soviet department stores whose mission was to serve the interests of the sales clerks and not the customers. Why the sales clerks should want to keep things that way is perfectly understandable.”<br /><br />Don Jr. plagiarized his speech from this.<br /><br />-Gotcha AgainAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-16665408072398750252016-07-20T19:26:49.605-07:002016-07-20T19:26:49.605-07:00How do Republicans reconcile this:

It’s called the free market."<br /><br />with this:<br /><br />"We’re going to make our schools the best in the world..."<br /><br />Who is the "we" who is going to make schools great if they're free market? If "we" try to do ANYTHING regarding public schools, wouldn't that be interfering with the free market?<br /><br />Is he saying the Republicans will make schools great by giving up control of them? If THEY give up control, how will THEY make the schools great?seattle citizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16724175257161649500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-83693130923194461412016-07-20T15:13:21.909-07:002016-07-20T15:13:21.909-07:00gotcha

There seems to be no limits to the violence the left is capable of in support of Clinton. Think about it, if the left wing wackos have no restraints in assassinating law enforcement officers, just think what they would do to ordinary citizens out exercising their constitutional rights.<br /><br />Every legitimate poll has the race as a tie and if you believe other sources, many Trump supports are reporting they are going to vote for Hillary or a write in candidate out of fear of being targeted by a left wing wackos.<br /><br />So go ahead and think as you will, I believe more left wing wackos will cause more death and destruction in the coming months and easily push Trump into office.<br /><br />If you really want to stop Trump you would be well served to get your own house in order and stop the killing.<br /><br />NRA Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-10246327371333340002016-07-20T13:39:44.378-07:002016-07-20T13:39:44.378-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-62677815029653816422016-07-20T13:23:40.821-07:002016-07-20T13:23:40.821-07:00Most convention speeches are just collections of r...Most convention speeches are just collections of recycled talking points already used thousands of times. It's silly to talk about plagiarism. Politics = repeating talking points.<br /><br />The Republicans seem to be going down in flames, so don't worry. They can't even begin to reconcile the basic contradiction between the fundamental pro-corporate orientation of the insiders and the money vs. the desires of their grass-roots base. Among the base, there is indeed a huge passion for school choice, but it's not really tied to anti-union or anti-teacher sentiment, nor is it the same as wanting to be fed into the jaws of crony capitalist charter schools. But the campaign money is animated by anti-union, anti-public employee, and crony capitalist schemes.Outsidernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-79860162970857736552016-07-20T11:26:36.316-07:002016-07-20T11:26:36.316-07:00Reality, how?Reality, how?Melissa Westbrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17179994245880629080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-68030717048807585462016-07-20T10:47:33.700-07:002016-07-20T10:47:33.700-07:00I completely agree with the analogy and the last C...I completely agree with the analogy and the last CBA go around proves it. <br /><br />RealityAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-47374882929022747802016-07-20T10:43:15.135-07:002016-07-20T10:43:15.135-07:00From what I understand, some of the statements in ...From what I understand, some of the statements in his speech were lifted from a conservative think tank paper.
