Ronald Reagan quotes
Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
Man is not free unless government is limited.
Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.
Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born.
Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.
Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
Thomas Jefferson once said, "we should never judge a president by his age, only by his works." And ever since he told me that, I stopped worrying.
The government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: if it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it
Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.
How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lyndon.

Education in America
My understanding of the movie is that it indicates the teachers unions are at fault. This can not sit well with this arm of the Lib party. The teachers are ultimately blamed, indirectly.
It is true some teachers under perform and should look for other employment. Remember the schools failed before the standardized test were introduced. The cause of their failures must rest elsewhere. The liberal unions are largely to blame for their programs, indoctrinations, and progressive policies. Their support for liberal administrators who run the districts is also a cause for failure. The absolute lack of discipline and parental involvement has to be two of the greatest factors.
I have a question now. Don't get exercised. I'm only asking the question. This morning some egghead researcher/educator stated if we got rid of 5% of the teachers (bad ones) we would lead the world in education. Here's a question: in the psychotic liberal world if a disproportionate number of bad teachers turn out to be members of minority groups which liberal rule would apply. The one that says the teachers are at fault get rid of them, or as with prison inmates the disproportionate number of minorities serving time is due to racism.

Today it seems the Associated Press finally figured it out. In a story out of Washington Ricardo Alonso Zaldivar says, " the new health care law wasn't supposed to undercut employer plans that have provided most people in the U.S. with coverage for generations. Last week a leading manufacturer told workers that cost will jump partly because of the law. A Democrat governor laid out a scheme for employers to get out of health care by shifting workers into taxpayer subsidized insurance markets that opened in 2014."
Wasn't supposed to undercut? That was the intent of the passage of Obama care. To make all Americans dependent on the government for health care. To drive private insurance companies out of business. Their plan all along was to have a one payer system.

Breast Cancer Awareness
I am completely and totally aware of breast!
I am reasonably aware of cancer.
I wanted the ribbon to go to someone who either can't remember breast or can't remember cancer. Someone additionally may feel the need to show the world they care. My concern with cancer as well as my concern about many things goes without saying.
