MJoe & Ron Paul on homeschooling comments

Last edited Thu Sep 19, 2013, 08:47 AM - Edit history (1)

(First fuck Ron Paul) he was on MJ and near the end of his segment he was discussing homeschooling, he was horrified by the story he was relating about a woman with 2 jobs, living in a shelter and she couldn't homeschool her kids. Does he not see any correlation with his political/economic philosophy keeping wages so low that she was unable to provide a home for her kids, let alone have enough time to spend with a kid, let alone provide schooling segment time. I hope this 7:15-ish segment comes up on their website so I can hear what pushback that English woman ( didn't catch her name) was giving him about this. Fuck Ron Paul, evil creature produced more evil creatures to plague society

RP has understood the "Politically Positive" aspects of supporting descheduling/decrim/legalization aspects around all matters of Hemp-medical, personal and industrial use.

As recent as 3 years ago, Cannabis was the Most toxic of issues and Every politican ran for the hills should it ever be mentioned.
Then a funny thing happened. Candidates who are Anti Legalization started Losing and those who are Pro started winning.
In CO Cannabis Legalization got thousands more "yea" votes than POTUS in 2012.
Oregon "hired" the first State AG ever to publically support it (medical)--while the "anti dem" Lost.

It's happened in several other states and RP will take advantage of every voting block he can and will say Anything to get their support.
RP has historically been for ending Cannabis prohibition--but now - He's working it and Nothing could be Worse than Single Issue Support for an otherwise dangerous for democracy candidate, imo.
This is the time to exercise a thorough vetting process and be Willing to let go of the issue of Cannabis long enuf to look at the Whole of "them" and make a Responsible and informed decision based upon Benefits V Harm after looking at the Whole Picture of all candidates, imo.

I saw the thread title in the Latest, and wondered "OK, is this about Ron Paul and MariJuana? Michael Jackson? Or Morning Joe?"

Turns out it was about Ron Paul and Morning Joe.
You read the title thread.
You didn't actually read the post, did you?

The other comment I'd like to make is directly to the OP.
You do understand, don't you, that the purpose of the Morning Joe TV Show is to piss off?
You know that, right?
It does not exist to inform you.
They want you to look at the advertisements and they want you to do that in a certain mental state.
Pissed off people are more susceptible to the charms of the ads.
Pissed off people will also walk around through their day in a state of agitation, and that is a state that the capitalists want to keep you in. That kind of agitation makes it more likely that you will salve the pain with New and Improved Cheap Chinese-Made Crap™.

Enjoy your day!

but VERY good observation on your part concerning RP and NOT mistaking the correct time for the fact that the clock is actually BROKEN =).


To the OP...yeah it seems almost LOGICAL that homeschooling would first require a HOME TO LIVE IN, doesn't it? Too bad Rand's De-regulated Economic Utipoa (see: Rapture, City Beneath the Sea, for more information and travel tourism arrangements) seems to have taken that away from that poor woman.

I'm west coast and it's early-first cuppa and Yep--I didn't "see" what I read..

But everything I said isn't wrong

To my mind a homeschooed education is no education at all.
