Daylin Leach Wants To Trap Kids In Violent Schools

The Republicans of Lower Merion and Narberth have done an excellent compare and contrast on the critical issue of a parents Freedom to Choose, and the need for poor kids to escape violent and educationally failing schools.

This piece by Party Chairman Lance Rogers takes aim at State Sen. Daylin Leach’s (D-17) attack on Students First, an education advocacy group started by Michelle Rhee, who was chancellor of the Washington D.C. public school system.

And here is the Students First response to Leach’s vicious piece.

Democrats want to trap kids in violent and educationally dysfunctional schools and Republicans want to free them. The Choice is Clear: Coercion or Freedom. Choice or Compulsion.

Abraham Lincoln would be proud. I am proud. And where does Senator Leach send his kids to school? And you? Where do you choose to send your kids to school?

Sen. Leach is, uncharacteristically, silent. Not a bad thing but I would like to know if he is as hypocritical as I think he is. Poor Sen. Daylin, the victim of Rich Right Wingers…oh wait, the proponents aren’t Republicans and aren’t getting rich from bad government as so many of Sen. Daylin’s colleagues.

Democrats cannot be trusted with educational policy. The Democratic agenda enriches the entrenched status quo bureaucracy at the expense of effective education and parental choice. To the Democrat, the state, the collectivist system, and the bureaucratic professionals know what is best for a child, better than a parent. More money being taken from citizens and given to a sclerotic system does not translate to better eduction.

Nard, Judas And Democrats

Nard, Judas And Democrats — In at least one church this Palm Sunday the story was told of Mary, the sister of Lazarus, who took about a pint of pure nard,  poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair.

One particular disciple became indignant saying that the wildly expensive perfume could have been sold and the money given to the poor.

That disciple, of course, was Judas Iscariot who was not so much interested in the poor but in fattening the moneybags since he was the one in control of them and to which he would help himself.

So next time you hear a politician — who would more likely than not belongs to a party that starts with a D — say how you must give to the government to  help the poor, remember this story and note that he is the one who is in control of the moneybags.

It Would Be The Dems Who Would Close The Govt.

It Would Be The Dems Who Would Close The Govt. — With the fear, uncertainty and doubt being spread regarding the pending closure of many federal services this Friday, the point being missed that it will the Democrats who will be ones responsible for shutting down government this time.

All bills that relate to revenue must start in the House of Representatives as per the Constitution. The House is controlled by Republicans. They have submitted a bill, and have sent it to the Senate. The Senate is controlled by Democrats. They have said they won’t accept the House bill.

So, it seems, if one really wants to keep the government running, the simple thing to do would be for the Senate to accept the House bill.

Of course, the President would then have to sign it, and if should refuse he would be the one shutting down government.

He’s a Dem too, of course.

BTW, 58 percent of all Americans seem to be OK with shutting things down.

Democrats Love The Poor Which Is Why . . .

Democrats Love The Poor Which Is Why . . . — The Democrat Party loves the poor which is why it works so hard to create so many.

The price of oil is marching to $100 per barrel and the “party of compassion” bends over backwards to keep new drilling from occurring on American territory leaving the matter as almost the exclusive privilege of Islamic and socialist dictators.

“Climate change” regulations are estimated to be costing this country $10.6 million per day despite it becoming more and more evident the “climate change” crisis is a despicable hoax .

Meanwhile, construction of non-CO2-emitting nuclear power plants are stopped by Democrats while they advance the destruction of non-CO2-emitting hydro-electric dams.

Under health care “reform” the cost of health insurance is skyrocketing and Medicare is being cut .

The Democrat Party leaders love the poor so much they want us all to be poor.

Themselves excepted, of course.

On a definitely related matter, wealthy New York Times columnist and Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman, Thursday, wrote this article in which he said America was divided between greedy conservatives who don’t want to be taxed to help the poor and the enlightened ones such as himself.

He has it completely bassackwards. It’s the conservatives who give to charity and the vast majority of them do not have a problem with a social safety net.

It’s just they wonder why things like state tax dollars are used to fund propaganda like Democracy Now on Mind-TV.

It’s just that they wonder how exactly are tax-supported ACORN and Planned Parenthood part of a social safety net.

It’s that they wonder why Social Security has run a surplus for decades which is used to fund pensions, health plans and salaries for bureaucrats far, far, far more generous than those of the Social Security recipients.

And of course they wonder how a person who could make such a unsophisticated, ill-reasoned claim actually get a Nobel Prize.

OK, never mind on that last point.

Kind Republicans, Greedy Dems

Kind Republicans, Greedy Dems — Thinking Americans have long known that those inclined to vote Republican are far, far, far more generous in giving to charities than those who vote Democrat.

Unthinking Americans, of course, don’t believe this. Of course, unthinking Americans are the ones who vote Democrat.

Conservatives give about 30 percent more in charities than the self-righteous, self-centered “progressives” if you should not feel like clicking on the above link to the source.

This is most glaring in their political leaders. Gigolo John Kerry is known for having a year in which he did not make a charitable contribution and the Obamas, Joe Biden and Al Gore are also known for being notably stingy, unlike the Bushes or even Rush Limbaugh.

Charitable giving is going to be the subject of tonight’s Stossel which airs at 9 and midnight on Fox Business Channel.

On a related note, Democrats are far more likely to believe in extraterrestrials than Republicans . If ET does show up, however, expect it to be a conservative Tea Party guy who lends him the phone to make that call.

Al Gore-Connected Hate Church Coming To Philly

The Westboro Baptist Church which has become infamous for its unChristian, hate-based protests of military funerals and prominent people is bringing its barrel of Christmas bile to the shores of the Delaware Dec. 20.

Allegedly anyway. It claimed it would hold a protest outside Temple University in April but never showed up.

The scheduled protests are to occur outside Father Judge and Archbishop Ryan high schools, and the Jewish Community Center, at Broad and Lombard streets in Center City.

According to rantings on the cult’s website the protests outside the Catholic high schools are somehow related to the priest sex-abuse scandals.

And the one at the Jewish Community Center? Who knows?

The Phelps family, which leads and makes up most of the congregants of the Kansas-based Westboro cult, has been prominent in that state’s Democrat Party.

Fred Phelps Jr. — who is the son of the founder and a member of the cult —  hosted Al Gore
at his home for a fundraiser and was a Gore delegate to the 1988
Democratic National Convention.

Dem Party Guy Cops Plea Gets Break

Dem Party Guy Cops Plea Gets Break — State Rep. Paul Costa is a party leader whether it be in the Democrat caucus in Harrisburg or in the parking lot before a Pittsburgh Steelers game.

Costa, who has represented the 34th District since 1999 and who had chaired the House Subcommittee on Licensing as a member of the House Committee of Liquor Control during the just-ended Democrat majority, pleaded guilty, Nov. 24, to disorderly conduct stemming from his  Oct. 3 arrest for an incident in the parking lot of Clark Bar & Grill before the Steelers-Ravens game.

Costa was caught passing around a doobie.

In return for the guilty plea, misdemeanor drug charges were dismissed, a nice break since disorderly conduct is a no-record summary offense, whereas a record of a misdemeanor would create difficulties if he should want to do something such as, say, get a liquor license .

Costa paid a $50 fine plus $137 in court costs.

In fairness, minor marijuana arrests are more often than not handled this way in the state.

Costa is 50 years old.

Dude!

Musto Indicted For Bribery

Musto Indicted For Bribery — A federal grand jury, this morning,  indicated Pennsylvania State Sen. Raphael “Ray” Musto for taking thousands of dollars in money and services in bribes and kickbacks.

Musto , a Democrat, has represented the 14th District since 1982. He did not seek re-election this year.  Musto is facing six charges including  bribery and making false statements to the FBI.

The bribery occurred between 2005 and 2010.

At a  2 p.m. press conference, U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania Peter J. Smith said Musto purposefully concealed money and gifts failing to report them on appropriate statements of financial interest.

Musto served in congress in 1980 replacing the legendary Dan Flood to represent the 11th Congressional District winning a special election caused by Flood’s resignation after being censured for bribery.  Musto, however, later that year narrowly lost  to Republican James Nelligan for an election to a full term.

Lincoln Professor Kaukab Siddique And Antisemitism

Comments made at a Sept. 3 rally in Washington D.C. that were recorded then aired by the Christian Broadcasting Network are coming back to haunt Lincoln University professor Kaukab Siddique along with old emails dug by CBN investigative journalists.

At the rally, Siddique, who teaches English, literature and journalism, said “We must stand united to defeat, to destroy, to dismantle Israel, if possible by peaceful means. Perhaps, like Saladin, we will give them enough food and water to travel back to the lands from where they came to occupy other people.”

In the email exchanges Siddique was found to have said “The Holocaust is a hoax. Get over it.” and that there is “not one document to prove it happened.”

CBN says the record of Siddique’s hatred for Jews goes back at least a dozen years.

Lincoln in Oxford, Chester County, is the nation’s first degree-granting black college. Alumni include Thurgood Marshall, Langston Hughes and Cab Calloway. It is  part of Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth System of Higher Education along with Penn State, Temple and the University of Pittsburgh. These schools are independent of state management but still receive public money, which in Lincoln’s case is about $14 million per year.

Two state senators who represent parts of Delaware County, Daylin Leach of the 17th District and Anthony H. Williams of the 8th District , both Democrats, have written a letter to Lincoln University President Ivory V. Nelson expressing concern about the bizarre, hate-filled statements and noting that while “you are entitled to your own opinions, but you are not entitled to your own facts.”

They pointed out that the state has a no-tolerance policy regarding hate speech for state-supported institutions and  demanded to know the level of awareness held by Lincoln’s administration regarding Siddique’s comments and what steps the school was taking to keep Siddique from teaching false claims to his students.

Lincoln answered that Siddique has not made such claims to his students and that tenure keeps him from being fired.

The strange and sad thing is that one suspects that most Jews in Siddique’s home state of Maryland on Tuesday voted for the same candidates as Siddique did.
