Leftist Chronicles

You've Got That Right!

Some make you laugh. Some make you angry. But they all give you that "shake your head in amazement feeling" and make you wonder if they really believe what they said.

Sander Levin (D-MI)
When asked if he liked the tax cut proposal:

"No, no, it won't bring a stimulus."

Like 1.6 trillion will not stimulate the economy.

Later, Levin said what he really meant:

"What passed the House just last week, 60 percent of the tax cut would go to the upper 10 percent. Not only isn't it fair, but it won't stimulate the economy."

Oh, that's it. Take from these people who pay taxes and give the money to those people who pay no or little taxes. That is the definition of a stimulus to Sander.

And of course, Sander now calls it fair.

Dick Gephardt
"I think what we're seeing this week is the end of what we thought was bipartisanship."

Gee, now that you mention it, was that a real blast of bipartisanship when you and your fellow socialists hissed as the Supreme Court Justices entered the Rotunda for Bush's state of the union address?

How about when that bloated bovine Ted Kennedy launched into his mindless tirade against the honorable John Ashcroft. Was that an expression of socialist bipartisanship because he kept it at 90 decibels instead of 100?

Perhaps the best expression of your style of bipartisanship was that moronic Lexus and muffler stunt you and Daschle pulled.

You say just now we are seeing the end of bipartisanship?

You have no backbone, Dick. Instead of educating your constituents about simple math, such as higher income folks paying much higher tax dollars into your wasteful coffers, you choose to appeal to their ignorance through class warfare.

One day, one of you socialists just may step forward and denounce the divisive antics of your party.

It will not be you, Dick. You have no spine. You will never put your country or your constituents' future ahead of your own personal interests.

You failed in your run for president, Dick.

You failed to become majority leader, Dick.

For once, put your country ahead of your personal interests, Dick.

And now, without further ado,

hear the most gifted, the most articulate, the most intelligent woman to ever grace this earth. Let her knock your socks off as she presents great oratorical skill in explaining to us—the less worthy—the corruption, bribery, and profiteering in the last days of the Clinton regime. You can throw out all your "famous speeches" books. This, one of the truly great oratorical masterpieces since the dawn of man, may well be "the definitive greatest speech."

The Hillary You Know 64 Times Over

Part IV Legacy Lies

Education

This does not look like an uptrend to me.

Does that look like an uptrend to you?

Bill Clinton said it was an uptrend and Hillary said Bill never lies.

Slick knew in his last days that his legacy was one of crime and no punishment.

So, he built on that.

For every perjury statement, pardon a cocaine dealer. For his impeachment, pardon a 48 million dollar tax evader, ad infinitum.

He also had the White House publish a list of lies that he called his "legacy."

Part IV of the Legacy Lies series examines another item on that list—education.

Legacy Lies Part IV: Education

In the next issue of Sentry over America:

Has Yahoo! Succumbed to Socialism?

We have lost the battle to the socialists at the schools.

We have lost the battle to the socialists for influence in the mainstream media and entertainment industry.

We have lost the battle to the socialists for balance in the press.

We have just begun the final battle—the battle for the Internet.

With Yahoo!'s bias and Treacherous Ted Turner and Hanoi Jane's hand on the AOL control panel, the socialists have commenced a two-front war in the final battle for balance and fairness of information.

Tired of the centrist mumble? Here are some refreshing comments straight from the"tell it like it is" school.

Comments from the columnists on education:

Linda Chavez
"Yet trolling the malls, listening to gangster rap, watching "Survivor," or playing "Mortal Combat" takes up the time that was once spent doing chores, working or reading. . . .The SAT isn't to blame for black and Hispanic underachievement. And eliminating the test won't make the underlying obstacles to success disappear. The only thing that will fix it is more time spent hitting the books."

Thomas Sowell
"At the heart of all these problems is the low intellectual caliber of most of the people who go into teaching in the public schools. Test scores have shown this repeatedly for decades—which is why teachers' unions fight fiercely against testing."

Thomas Sowell
"Well, let's go on to another question. What is the Declaration of Independence?" Hands go up. "You there with the purple baggy pants." "That's like when you are grown up and go off to college and don't have to pay any attention to your parents any more." "Uh, not exactly. You with the pink bra and green shorts." "It's like when you don't have to take no crap off nobody no more."

Jonah Goldberg
"I have every confidence that these minority groups will one day do as well as any other on the SATs. But in the meantime, we shouldn't buy diversity on the cheap by sacrificing standards—and we shouldn't be designing social policy around groups in the first place."

Amity Shlaes
"Meanwhile, curriculums and some important national tests—most notably, the SAT—were dumbed down to conform to the culture of equality and to engineer more socially acceptable outcomes. . . .By 1995, America spent more per child under 13 than other Group of Seven leading industrial countries (60 per cent more than Britain). Yet a broad study from the same period found that 77 per cent of nine-year-olds from poor cities could not read at a basic level."

Larry Elder
"Bilingual education makes the rather racist assumption that Hispanic kids are less capable than others. Bilingual education assumes their parents are less interested than other immigrants in whether and how their children learn English."

George Will
"The SAT is faulted for increasing high school students' "stress.'' But that means the SAT is an effective incentive for diligence in high school—an invaluable incentive, given that the undemanding nature of most college admissions policies encourages high schoolers' sloth. The SAT is faulted for injuring some students' "self-esteem.'' But if the SAT does not deliver sobering news, reality eventually will."

Nathaniel Koonce
"But what he was reacting to, in fact, was news that American eighth graders scored 19th in math and 18th in science out of 38 nations in the 1999 repeat of the Third International Math and Science Study (TIMSS-R). He was reacting to the finding of that survey that the performance of American eighth graders in 1999 was no better than that of our eighth graders on the first administration of the tests in 1995, and was far below what they had achieved as fourth graders four years ago, when they placed 12th in math and third in science out of 26 nations."
