and so dropped out. The tea party brand the Koch's have developed make those with out formal education feel that those with education are elites. And most likely the result of an appalling number of school teachers being fired, than at any other time, in our history…..

discussion about whether Governor Scotty was run off or just "Walkered" off.

Most of these assholes are tools of the kochtopus, for which there has to be some kind of exterminator to free us of this vermin in our midst.

My mother's family were Wisconsin settlers and I have other ties there also from having lived in the Madison area for several years. I marched in a few protests while there, and my graduate advisor got his PhD there during the Vietnam war protests. Wisconsin is a beautiful state, sad to see this happening to it. I was actually toying with the idea of relocating back there for a while, but now, not a chance. The government in my current state of residence is pretty blatantly red but I'm not in a city and I feel like there's no efficacy in my voice or vote anymore so... I vote but I feel it's an exercise in futility anymore. So I live like a hermit much of the time in the clod mountains where the air is clean and my favorite being still exist, wildlife that is.

gutted our budget for public education. Let your professor know that the parents of current Madison students are receiving letters to help convince the Gov. about the budget cuts.

UW-Madison will tap influential alumni and the parents of students in a campaign to convince state legislators that Gov. Scott Walker’s proposed $300 million budget cut to the University of Wisconsin System is too much to bear.

I got the MPA back 30 days - exactly - before 9/11... way back then. My GA is long since retired an living in the next red state over.

But I am thoroughly disgusted by the ed cuts with a machete. Truly shows what these kkklowns are all about and what the agenda is. Kind of brings to mind the idea that they may be setting us up for a Pol Pot type of "cleansing".

to use American taxpayer money and male and female soldiers to help ISIL Wahhabist fighters take down the Shiite Iranian government, if he becomes President of the US?

IMO, right now the Arabian government is giving the American people a return on their vote for MIC expenditures in the form of lower gasoline prices. IMO, the Saudis expect another US taxpayer funded war to take down Iran.

Seems like the Constitution says that the VP duties are mainly in foreign policy, like in a GOP war hawk with ties to ISIL, the ones that ended up with recently sent arms to Syrian rebel groups that were actually on a Wahhabi Jihad killing spree. Assad is a Shiite back by Iran and Russia.

Keeping in mind the great friendship between the Bush Family and the Family of Saud, it would be a dream come true for the MIC. And it would be in the money making best interest for the Family of Bush and the Ownership of all Old World Oil Family of Saud.
