I can say that if the republicans on here are an example of the education systems achievements, it has failed.

In your MISeducated mind. Thanks for the compliment.

 

[protectionist]

yes, book learning in books written by liberals

The correct grammar is uneducated but I get you point.

Private delivery isn't government run..

If you mean Obamacare, yes it is. There are 2000 pages of regulations telling healthcare providers how to run their business.

Your belief that you're educated is hilarious.;

Have you actually read them?

Single payer/private delivery is not government run.

Only the VA is government run. They employ the doctors/staff and own the faclities.

Liberals are the most uneducated people on the planet.

They think more taxation not only makes a country more prosperous but it also will stop climate change.

ISIS and the Lord's Resistance Army are perfect examples of going backwards.

No one even knows that the "Lord's Resistance Army" is.

Is sure as hell is government run. You're gullible and naive.

Really? You don't know? How about the SPLA and John Garang?

 

[bripat9643]

Right.. Hurtling backwards in some reactionary tantrum is much better. You ready for another Scopes Trial?

progs are the ones who are censoring social media.

What are you afraid of? People learning things.

 

[bripat9643]

I've never heard of them until now. I guess that shows how significant they are, doesn't it?

 

[bripat9643]

Come on dude, give us your economic interest in helping Jeff Bezo reach 175 billion dollars...

Do you ever buy anything on Amazon?

 

[bripat9643]

Objecting to government brainwashing isn't objecting to "book learning."

You support government brainwashing. That's all you proved, douchebag.

Well, you were yapping about education. I'm surprised you never heard of them. They are examples of conservatism and extremism. SPLA are Christian Marxist.. the LRA are just based on the 10 Comandments.

The teach about SPLA? Nope. If they do they are brainwashing.

I'll be my own judge of whether they are "conservative." Progs always get that wrong.

A quick short read that nails it. Conservatives think education is brainwashing when in fact education gives one the tools to freely reject poorly supported arguments and bad logic.

There is no mystery why conservatives find education dangerous. A 2015 Pew Research Center study quantified that the better educated one is, the more likely one is to hold liberal beliefs. But I’d argue, contrary to what conservatives seem to feel, that’s not because of bullying professors shouting left-wing dogma. Rather, it’s because once you learn how to think, you’re less susceptible to thin reasoning and easy answers. And increasingly, that’s all conservatism’s got.

I owe a lot to Gary Mahoney.

Nonsense. Education is widely needed. But today’s version of “liberals” don’t accept education. They won’t even tolerate it. In fact, on college campuses, liberals are the ones who outlaw it. Shut it down. Censor it.

Todays so-called “liberal” college students demand “safe spaces” from any and all who dare to offer any contrary beliefs or opinions or views.

No, no to Walmart too.

It's odd how liberal's can use the education system to indoctrinate and program students, but then cry foul when conservstive call for simply educating our students

We prefer our educational system do more than simple education of wingnuts.
