Yes, Meghan McCain is an embarrassment to herself, in the same way her father John McCain is an embarrassment to the conservative movement. That said, this is the first picture I've seen of her, that made me take a second look!
Hey. I'm a mere mortal.
Earlier today, while talking about the indoctrination of our children, I asked:
Do parents have a right to raise their kids, or does the State?
Well, via the Daily Pundit and America’s North Shore Journal, I bring you a sad tale that answers that question.
C.J. is an active duty soldier who is currently involved in a dispute with his kid’s school, over their decision to require students to wear uniforms, without ever consulting the parents. The school informed parents by letter, and then they held a meeting on the subject. But said meeting did not permit parental comments.
Then again without notice, the school reversed its decision, stating uniforms would be required starting next school year. It's a win, but still no parental involvement.
Just a few days later, C.J. learns that teachers were making comments about him in their classes, that his kids were pulled out of class for questioning, and the school administration had contacted the military because they felt "threatened."
C.J. then tried to exercise his free speech at a PTA meeting, and both he and his wife were assaulted by a cop for doing so. Here's the rest of the story ...
As you know, I've been battling my kids' school on their new uniform policy. My issue is simple: parents must be involved in any important decision like this. If parents are going to bear the cost of uniforms, they deserve and have the right to be consulted.
Today, they had the audacity to contact someone within military channels telling them that my actions were threatening to them. They claim that they don't feel safe with me around and have demanded security be present any time I'm at the school. They are seeking an injunction against me from the school. And to top it all off, they mentioned the fact that I have PTSD, which makes me unstable!
Since I know that you spineless bastards in the school system are reading this, be prepared for a lawsuit! You were way out of line in bringing my personal life and my struggles with PTSD into a dispute with the school on the uniform policy. UNIFORM POLICY, FOLKS!! Where do you get off contacting the military about a private citizen matter? If I worked for Wal-Mart, would you have called the management there? If I were a REAL threat to anyone at that meeting, you should have called the police, not the military.
I don't appreciate a faculty that denigrates parents in front of students in the classroom. I don't appreciate my kids being pulled out of their classroom by some mysterious person asking them questions about "that man" at the last meeting. I don't appreciate certain people ignoring my requests for a meeting and then making up some story about why they're afraid to meet with me without security. Bring security. Bring all the security you need to make you feel safe. Doesn't matter, because my intentions were never threatening or violent.
So the answer to the question is: the State.
Last week in Iran, a man was hung to death for being gay. I’m sure it was George W. Bush’s fault.
Glenn Beck continues to do the job the "intellects" won't do. That is, uncover and expose the truth about what's going on in our federal government!
WH Communication Director Anita Dunn admires history's greatest mass murderer ... MAO!
(click the title and go watch the video!)
Dunn is married to Obama thug lawyer Robert Bauer, who tried valiantly to get the DOJ to prosecute conservative critics and punish TV stations for running an ad critical of Obama’s relationship with Weather Underground Bill Ayers.
Well, Obama did say to judge him by the company he keeps. Speaking of which ...
Apparently, Mr. Sunstein believes that organs should be harvested from terminally ill or the recently deceased, without their consent.
In his 2008 book, “Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth and Happiness,” Sunstein and co-author Richard Thaler discussed multiple legal scenarios regarding organ donation. One possibility presented in the book, termed by Sunstein as “routine removal,” posits that “the state owns the rights to body parts of people who are dead or in certain hopeless conditions, and it can remove their organs without asking anyone’s permission.”
“Though it may sound grotesque, routine removal is not impossible to defend,” wrote Sunstein. “In theory, it would save lives, and it would do so without intruding on anyone who has any prospect for life.”
So, when the state deems it convenient for them, they can claim right over your body. Ironically, this is the same state that believes that the right for a woman to have control of her body (to kill a baby) is sacred. Your right to keep your internal organs? Well…not so much.
This also is reminiscent of the cold and brutal pragmatism of the Nazi T4 program, which was sold to the German public in a similar manner. The program was seen as a way to free up funding that could be used for other purposes, such as housing. Mentally ill or retarded individuals would be “liberated from a life not worth living,” and the funds freed by these acts of “mercy” were supposed to be funneled into public programs.
So again, the answer to the question is: the State.
Meanwhile ... Butters attempts to get a housing grant from ACORN ... just when it looks like he may get turned away ...
Whazzup? Why Are You Are Republican?
Oh, and to answer the question: I'm not anymore. You know the ever popular expression: "I didn't leave the Republican Party...."
Thanks for sharing my story. This isn't just happening to me. I've gotten emails from across the country since writing these posts with similar stories. On Monday, I'll be posting the video of the PTA meeting that ended in my wife and I being assaulted.
It's nuts what is going on in our country. Thanks for standing up to these petty tyrants! I'll be watching your story with interest.
I would like to interview CJ and ask him some questions.
