De-Funding Education: it really is about theocracy versus democracy

Last night I watched Austan Goolsbee look into the camera with a doe-eyed look of shock as he talked about the Tea Party’s plan to strip state and federal budgets for education. He called it short-sighted and surprising.

Seriously? For starters, they told us that this was what they were going to do, so how surprising can it be? And it is not short-sighted; it is part of a long-term plan to de-equalize our society. To bastardize a quote from the Clinton campaigns: it is about the equality, dummy.

I am beginning to the think that the beauty of Christine O’Donnell’s performance in the last election was that it distracted people from what the Tea Party was actually promising. No one on the left or even in the center actually listened or believed them when they said that they wanted to do away with the Department of Education, the Department of Labor, and the Department of Health and Human Services. And now some people are actually shocked when the Tea Party goes after labor, education and health services.

It is a safe bet that if you are looking at an elected official from the Tea Party, you are looking at a Dominionist. While some of the rank-and-file in the Tea Party are not hard-core members of the Christian Right, those who they elected to power are almost invariably from the school of thought which espouses dismantling the federal government and returning the power to patriarchal families and to states who will rule in accordance with Biblical law.

by the O'Donnell, Bachmann, Palin, Beck and Rush-types. I'm rather surprised that they would find that many willing to be spectacles/diversions, but we know the party is loaded with talent in that category...ignoramuses.

Normal human beings wouldn't subject themselves (or their families) to such ridicule for money, but I swear we are seeing it every day.

Which is why education has been defunded and dumbed down for the last 30 years. "Keep 'em stupid and blinded with jebus" is the "aristocracy's" plan for now and the future. Dumb people don't question their masters/betters.
