Re: Roberts:

I don’t think in US History, a president has ever dissed the SCOTUS as Obama did at the SOTU.

Admin, are you aware of any instances in US History a president has so capriciously insulted the Judicial Branch of government? I cannot think of any…

“Our “thug” narrative is finally catching on”
______________________________________.

The thug narrative serves as an echo of the all too familiar atmosphere prevalent at the Dem Convention in Denver when Hillary delegates and their families were threatened by Obama thugs with beatings, financial destruction and death if their votes weren’t registered for Obama. Obama thugs are behaving as domestic terrorists manipulating and threatening the people’s elected levers daring to do their jobs for their constituency. Hopefully, your brave bold statements, Admin, will be the inspiration journalists kicking their KOOL-AID addiction using what they have learned from you to pay it forward three times three encouraging the fence sitters to jump in…

Wow, you cleared up a lot of mysteries. Thanks for that.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

The Republicans did what they are supposed to do which is screw with the opposition party. The gifting of the Democratic nomination has little to nothing to do with Republicans – it was Democrats and the Democratic establishment who trashed Hillary and worked behind the scenes to gift Obama the nomination.

Conspiracy theories about Republican collusion with Democrats to get Obama the nomination are a waste of time. The Republicans should screw with Democrats because that is their job. The Democrats should screw with Republicans, that is their job.

Obama is a Democratic establishment creature and problem. Any distribution of blame to Republicans is excuse making. Brazile/Rove is an old story and Rove is to be complimented and Donna is to be condemned. If you don’t understand why that sentence makes sense you need to take a refresher course in politics.

It’s all detailed here:

The problem with the Democratic primaries 2008 is not the Republicans, it is the Democrats.

Released by the TEA:

AUSTIN – The Fox Network in recent days has repeatedly broadcast highly inaccurate information about the State Board of Education’s efforts to adopt the new social studies curriculum standards.

Here are the facts. The direct quotes come from the March 10 broadcast of Fox & Friends.

Fox: “Texas board of education begins hearings today on proposed changes to textbooks…”

The truth: The State Board of Education today is expected to take a preliminary vote on updated social studies curriculum standards. The standards detail what teachers are to teach in each class. New social studies textbooks are not scheduled to be selected until 2011.

Fox: “So one of the proposed changes is to start history class in the year 1877.”

The truth: Texas has and always will teach U.S. History from the beginning until present day. U.S. History through Reconstruction is taught in the eighth grade and those standards can be found in the middle school standards, which are called Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Click here to go to read about the middle school standards. U.S. History since 1877 is taught in 11th grade.

Fox: Abraham Lincoln and George Washington have been removed from the textbooks.

The truth: The standards, not textbook, are before the board this week. Lincoln is required to be included in the first and eighth grade history classes, as well as in the U.S. government class. Washington is required to be taught in kindergarten, first grade, fifth grade and eighth grade. Click here to read a document detailing those historical figures, including Lincoln and Washington, who are required to be taught as part of the standards. Click here to read another list of individuals who are suggested for inclusion and it can be found here. Additional modifications are still possible to both lists as the board debates the standards during its March and May meeting.

Fox: Independence Day and Veteran’s Day are being deleted from the textbooks.

The truth: Again, the new history textbooks have not been written yet but they will be based on the curriculum standards adopted by the board. The standards currently under consideration cover Independence Day in kindergarten, second and fifth grades. Veteran’s Day is included in kindergarten, first, second and fifth grades.

Fox: References to Christmas have been deleted.

The truth: A TEKS review committee briefly recommended removing Christmas from a list that mentioned one major holiday for each of the world’s religions. The committee recommended leaving Easter in the document. The State Board immediately rejected this idea and a reference to Christmas was restored in the standards months ago and can be found in sixth grade in standard 19(b).

Fox: Textbooks adopted in Texas will be used classrooms across the country.

The truth: Each state has its own textbook selection process. Publishers may offer other states the Texas edition of a book but they are not required to select it.
