Our V.P. Suffers From Foot In Mouth Disease And Is Not Being Treated!
Vice President Joe Biden is known for being something of a loose cannon, prone to engaging his vocal chords ahead of his brain. He has recently out done himself. At first blush it seems the Romney people should be pounding the campaign drums to the tune of: “We can’t have four more years of this fruit cake being a heart beat away from the presidency.â€
The MSM, instead of being in full cry over Biden’s congenital foot-in-mouth disease as in: “OMG this guy could become the leader of the free world!†has been equally muted.
The restrained response from Romney partisans is easily explainable: Biden’s unhinged behavior doesn’t come close to being the danger to the republic that four more years of the current occupant of the Oval Office represents. Biden, at least, provides comedy relief while there is nothing humorous about this president ruling (with more flexibility) for a second term.
As for the MSM, it is so protective of King Obama and his Court that it is now forced to hide its collective eyes from the sight of a VP who doesn’t seem to know what state he is in, or even what century.
Does anyone remember George McGovern’s vice presidential pick, Missouri U.S. Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton? When it became public that Eagleton had been hospitalized on three occasions for depression and had undergone electroshock therapy, it created such a media storm that he was blown right off the Democrat ticket.
Now we have a VP who, as far as we know, hasn’t even sought treatment!

I won’t be surprised if Team Obama hasn’t told Joe he will take one for the team and announce very soon that fhealth he must resign as Vice President. Then Obama can announce that Hillary will take Joe’s place.

I am impressed at the intensity and hermetic integrity of the Left’s force field surrounding Obama. Recently I have been involved in several arguments on Facebook concerning the praise Obama receive(d/s) for his “leadership” during the UbL takedown, only to be told that my direct experience in matters of intelligence and special operations – to include that of my many friends in those businesses – doesn’t matter. All that matters is that somehow Obama got ADM McRaven to give him a ringing endorsement in a Politico quote. I can only guess what McRaven’s motives were, but his one little quote gave the Left a few full magazines of ammo to use against me and other detractors of Obama. Naturally, pointing out that McRaven is currently employed as SOCOM commander at Obama’s license and probably wishes to keep his job did nothing to penetrate the force field. Of course we saw what happened to GEN McChrystal when he gathered up the stones to leave the reservation.

Did you see excerpts from Johnathan Chait’s article (New York magazine) on Breitbart? Chait admits the leftist tilt of the entertainment industry: “We liberals owe not a small measure of our success to the propaganda campaign of a tiny, disproportionately influential cultural elite.†The MSM, of course, fits within that designation. But it is the last paragraph of the Breitbart article that should give us pause:
“The American people have been lied to. We’ve been told that our entertainment was just that – entertainment, as opposed to propaganda. That was false. And Americans, by ignoring the problem, have allowed it to fester. Until conservatives wake up and realize that they won’t win back their country without winning back their culture, they will continue to lose their country to those who know how to manipulate emotions with script, lighting, and camerawork.”

Chait’s comments are in direct contradiction with what the wise Republican elite tell us: that we should not make cultural/social issues the centerpiece of campaigns. Could he be an agent provocateur? Or, could he be right?

Culture has to be understood in its broadest context. Colleges of education, textbook writing professors and the National Education Association have biased generations of children with leftist premises and acceptance of activist government. The dogma is reinforced and expanded in colleges and universities. It was clear in the 1970s where we were headed. We have to reclaim the educational system before we can reclaim the culture.

This can happen with the privatization of education.

Forgive me, Martin. But I’m not seeing the connection between private education and states not paying money to the federal government.

It is our best hope. The more people opt out of the public system, the harder it will be to shut the exit door. Home schooling is also growing. Now what do we do about the universities?

That’s a big question because public universities are a huge problem. Here in Oklahoma retired politicians stay on the dole by becoming college presidents. Public universities are one of the branches of state government. The legislature passes bills promoting college enrollment. With the assured increased enrollment, the public universities ask for higher appropriations. These are, of course, granted. It’s the closest thing man has ever come to a perpetual motion machine. The solutions will probably be easier implemented when the education bubble burst. And, I’m certain at these institutions of higher learning the students are doing just that about the education bubble.
