Why Texas Education continues to fail...you have to think, idiot!

By RF Schatten I presume that Judge John Dietz, is a 'Critical Thinker'. They say, it's a devastating loss for Greg Abbott and his agenda on the systematic dismantling of the Public School System in Texas. In the ruling, the Judge explains; "The evidence clearly establishes that local districts do not have meaningful discretion in the levy, assessment and disbursement of property taxes; therefore the Texas school financing system imposes an unconstitutional state property tax.”...translation...the Texas State's School Financing System, is Unconstitutional! Greg Abbott wants to continue all the excellent failures that Texas has become in Education...50th in the Nation in High School Graduations for 10 straight years...between 2001-2010. His experiment with a Charter State School System, was knocked down by someone, who's allowed to think. Greg Abbott wants to outlaw "Critical Thinking" and Analysis in the entire Texas School System, or as it's...

Chow time for Texas' National Guard...courtesy of the local Food Bank

By RF Schatten Maybe the Texas Guard can cross the Border...and have the Kids feed 'them'. First, everyone said it was a bad move...the monthly cost alone, runs in the millions, and worst of all...he did it all just for Political Grandstanding, showing those dastardly Kiddy Brigades at the border, who's the boss. He wants those sound bytes...show his potential opponents, how tough he is. Then, there's that Indictment and all the legal headaches and distractions...and he's still contemplating running for President?...again? How embarrassing it must be, for National Guard Troops in Texas. Visiting Food Banks because they can't afford to eat, while standing with an empty gas can...jugging away, and asking people for a handout. I can see those cardboard signs; "Need Gas to get home...please! any donation appreciated, God Bless! :-) " You see a picture of GIs moving boxes into a truck...who are they bringing that food to? and who are they helping? The...

NRA says; Kids Just Wanna Have Fun...so buy them an Uzi for Christmas!

By RF Schatten "Who would put an Uzi in the hands of a nine-year-old girl? What is wrong with these people? What is wrong with this culture?". Joe Scarborough was simply, shocked!! Well, Joe!...the answer to all 3 of your questions...is you!! You, and what your philosophy represents...along with most Conservatives, the GOP, and all the Far Right Conservatism in America. You support all of these people...day in and day out! Hey!! kids just wanna have fun!! right Joe? Wayne Lapierre and Ted Nugent, believe in forcing children to shoot their way to the next grade!...they're on record, for this crazy shit. A lot of Ritalin is going to be dispensed in the schools, when these new commandos walk in for their first day of class!...even if they can't bring anything in, they'll get ready to rumble after school! Or do you believe that all kids who is trained in Firearms, are going to abide by all Gun Safety regulations, all the time?...or not sneak a gun out of the house...

The Republican Party...a wholly owned subsidiary of Koch Industry

By RF Schatten It's official, the "John Birch Society" now owns the Grand Old Party...just ask Mitch!..who just admitted, the GOP wouldn't be financially anywhere, if it wasn't for Koch Family $$$. Citizens United, Americans for Prosperity, FreedomWorks...what the hell, do you think they are?? 'John Birch' is not a politically correct name!! Fred C. Koch should be very proud of his 2 boys...they are carrying on his legacy and his dreams, to the max. The Brothers Koch, are living proof that $$$ buys you enough power, to overthrow a country's government...by simply purchasing its employees. People ought to learn more about Fred, the John Birch Society, and specially his 2 creepy human waste of sons, David and Charles. At least his other 2 sons, Fred Jr and William have enough self-respect and character, not to be part of Koch Industry...neither, have financial interests in the family business, whatsoever. Now, talking about  just coincidences; the...

America's neglect with its' own future

By RF Schatten "When you look at politicians and congress, they're not really looking to the future; they're looking to get re-elected." ~~ Andrew Herrmann (former President, ASCE) A crumbling American Infrastructure, that ranks 14th in the world...and we 'were' the model of the world!! That's the problem...we 'were', #1.  In Washington, all you hear is the "Blame Game"...but no one really wants to do, anything about it!! Why? Ignorance, time passes and no one really thinks about it...and the $$$ is usually needed for other things. A "Band-aid" mentality...temporary fixes, and a few 'no bid' contracts...you grease my palm, I'll grease yours. That's the American Way!!...but our infrastructure is still crumbling down, and what the hell, are we going to do about it?  At this moment in US History?...wait! wait! and wait some more...and when you're tired of waiting...you go again, and wait some more!! Do you ...

Blame all your failures on someone else...that's, the cheap Republican way.

By RF Schatten "Oh!! I can't do my job...because Obama is not being up to his job", "every single Republican failure, is Obama's Fault"...words of a Big Time Political Loser!! A coward, who'll sleep with anyone...as long as he can keep his Speaker's job. When you try to burn your candle on both ends...you're bound to end up getting burned...and if you have no scruples? you just don't give a shit!! You're just a Political whore...and you love it!! It's nice to see the GOP is such a good humanitarian organization...how they care for the Poor, the Sick, the Elderly!...all that humility that just gushes out of them! How they care about equality, and educating our children for the challenges of the future, in a world where we could live pollution free, no Acid Rain or smog...with clean rivers and streams! Wait! Wait a minute!...that's not the GOP?...Sorry!! They're nice guys, who haven't passed a single piece of Legislatio...

Time for the'Show Me' State, to show something positive about Ferguson

BY RF Schatten Mike Brown was shot at least 6 times...2 bullets to the head. That's murder...and that's why the Ferguson PD has been so silent.   The autopsy was performed by Dr. Michael Baden, well renowned Forensic Pathologist, who worked on the JFK and M artin Luther King Jr. cases...among others. “In my capacity as the forensic examiner for the New York State Police, I would say, ‘You’re not supposed to shoot so many times’ ”. Brown's Attorney, Benjamin Crump, reiterated Baden's statement; “The sheer number of bullets, and the way they were scattered all over his body, showed this police officer had a brazen disregard for the very people he was supposed to protect in that community,” How did this whole story first start? like all others. The Ferguson Police Dept. has had its moments with the Community, through the years. 50 White Police Officers and 3 Blacks...in a town that's 67% Black? Yes!! racism is very prominent in all of this. And for Conservatives...

Robin Williams in Hell? If you're from Westboro Baptist...you'll get to meet him

By RF Schatten "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" ~~ Martin Luther King, Jr. The Westboro Baptist Church, may call themselves "Baptist"...but there's nothing Christian about them. This, is an example of the mentality of the American Christian Right. Just pure unadulterated vile Racism and Hatred. They call Roman Catholicism and Islam, "Devil Worshiping" ...they publicly hate Protestants, Lutherans, Anglicans, Methodists, etc, etc, etc...you get the point? There's not another Religion in the world, they believe is correct. Ethiopian Orthodoxy?...a big lie! Hinduism?...they set up the "God hates India" website (similar to "God Hates Fags") Judaism?..."A true Jew, is a Christian" "they are nothing more than typical, impenitent sinners ... they are the real Nazis, the vast majority of Jews support fags"!! The Westboro Baptist Church, just doesn't li...

"Disinformation"...that's the Republican way...or, better said, the Goebbels way!!

By RF Schatten    The Republican Party publicly.condemns Gay Marriage, and has a deep hatred towards Homosexuality. They're against Women Rights, are against the Elderly, and don't care for Hispanics or any other Ethnic minority. The Blacks? In the eyes of the GOP, they're animals...as Ann Coulter likes to call the President..."The Monkey". They have no dignity or respect for the Poor or the Middle Class...they are against all Social Entitlements: Social Security for the elderly, Medicaid for the poor, Medicare for the elderly and the disabled...Obamacare...guaranteed health care for everyone, regardless who you are, and Food Stamps..."let them eat cake!!" They don't believe in unemployment compensation...if you lose your job? Tough shit!! If you're a Vet? Tough shit too. They're Anti-Children...some in the GOP talk about repealing Child Labor Laws. Take a look at the Children living in poverty today, going hungry, and how man...

Ferguson Police Dept. 2009 & 2014: Nothing changes...just the victims

By RF Schatten    Arrest the wrong suspect, beat the living daylights out of him in jail...and when you got to let him go? charge him with property damage...for dirtying your clothes with his spilled blood!! Outrageous!! except it happened in 2009, again, in Ferguson. Race tensions and Police brutality is not something new, for Ferguson, Missouri. On Sept. 20th, 2009...Henry Davis was arrested on a warrant...except, it wasn't the same Henry Davis. The rest is history for that poor man...nothing happened to the cops, the DA dropped the property damage charges, he suit the Ferguson PD and lost...and now, it's in Federal Appeals Court. From past experience, wouldn't the Ferguson Police Dept. known better, than to do anything that would incite the actions, which occurred? Yes!! if you're on the Left...Maybe!! if you're on the Right...and No!! if you're FoxNews, as they scramble and try to seriously figure out, why they say "No"!! It loo...

How to Justify Violence?...just ask FoxNews

By RF Schatten If you want to exploit violence...the indecency of FoxNews, is the perfect place to do it!! Justify the violence by the Ferguson Missouri Police Dept...by putting out a report that "One" member of the Black Panthers was in town...obviously, to stir problems and get into their fans' feelings and views...or more like, whatever view they intent to exploit. We all know, how 'Fair and Balanced'...FoxNews and News Corp. are!! Do you want tension and restlessness, to get worse? in a town where an innocent victim, was shot? and where civil unrest...just brings more tear gas, and shootings? Well!! Fox!! is the place to be, my friends!! Fox News’ Martha MacCallum went on to push Black Panther fears, by claiming that the Panthers are pushing racial violence in Ferguson...all, because an FBI report, that ONE member is in Ferguson. Martha MacCallum, is a grown woman...she knew the ramifications, for what she said...it doesn't take too many sound bytes, t...

The Tongue...Simmons lives for controversy, whether it's his profession or his private life

By RF Schatten Expected anything different from “The Tongue”? He’s an example of a man, who’s talent as an entertainer and cultural icon, stops with his mouth…both onstage or offstage. His success after KISS, has been limited to a non-existent movie career, a few guest shots on TV, and reality shows. Now, with a not too well received, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction…Simmons, Stanley, Frehley, and Criss…have decided to take on, ‘one’ more Tour, and a reality series!! Simmons, without KISS…is nothing!! So, what’s a better way for Simmons to get his career moving, back into the spotlight? He’s the GOP’s New York version of Ted Nugent…so he’s got to get his sound bytes in!!…the world needs to remember KISS is still alive!! Gene Simmons, born Chaim Witz, immigrated with his mom, from Israel…he’s a Conservative Republican, and a pro Israel Hawk. Whether you agree with him, or not…that’s his right. But, all this babble about Immigrants and the English language, is just plain horseshi...

Christian Broadcasters?...not, what Jesus Christ meant!

By RF Schatten This ‘good’ Christian would love for America to become infested by a deadly disease…another bright shinning example, why American Christian Fundamentalism is rejected, and viewed as an aberration…by all sects of Christianity throughout the world. “Ebola could cleanse America of Atheists, Gays, and Sluts”…says, this insult of a Talk Radio host. What this moron won’t say is…the Ebola Virus is not selective, like Christian Fundamentalists are…and it can strike anyone, including human waste like Rick Wiles. Does he care? does Rush care? do any of them care? They all are the same…they don’t give a rats ass who gets hurt, as long as they can push their filthy agenda of Racism and Bigotry. They picked that up, way back in 2008, a couple of hours after Obama got elected…when McConnell and Friends had their, now infamous “secret meeting”…”our only agenda is to make him, a one term president” at any cost, whether the Nation goes down with him or not. If it’s not the Blacks, it...

Washington to Bush II: 12,525 Executive Orders. Obama's 183? Abuse of Executive Powers!!

 By RF Schatten Quick!!...Who was the 21st President of the United States? He's not among the most popular Chief Executives...but well remembered now, as the most famous director of the New York Port Authority...if you saw "Die Hard: With a Vengeance". President Chester A. Arthur had a relatively quiet administration...and only 96 executive orders, in 4 yrs. Grover Cleveland had only 113, but in his second go round as President, he issued 140, that's a total of 273. Harrison had just 143...then McKinley with 185...till Teddy arrived and issued 1,081 Orders. Barack Obama has issued less Executive Orders (183), in the amount of days he's been in office...than any other President in over 100 years. Chester Arthur, left office on March 4th,1885. Ironically enough, Arthur signed another controversial bill at that time...the Immigration Act of 1882. The modern 20th-21th Century records of Executive Orders: Herbert Hoover 968, FDR 3,522, Truman 907, Eisenhower 484, JFK...

A Republican's thought on a GOP-Tea Party brake-up: "Don't let the door hit ya in the ass"!!

 By RF Schatten "Happy Days are here again!!" No!!...it's not the Democratic Party's Chorus rehearsal...but, you could certainly hear the Republicans humming it!! Only, if Steve Baldwin's idea could muster enough support, and a grass roots movement could begin?...start, by removing the Tea Party's grass roots out of Dumbo's butt, and open their own Club House. They need to get their own political certification, as a Political Party...and stop being a Far Right Conservative, dressed in RINO clothing. Aside from both, being Conservatives...there's nothing "Republican" about the Tea Party. I've been a Liberal and a Democrat, all my life...but, I've always had Republican friends, and respected their views. There's good and bad in everyone, no matter who believes in what....but, their was civility and decorum, then. No matter how heated the arguments, if it was good for the country, a bipartisan spirit between the Majority and the...

The 1st Amendment exclusively applies only to Christians?...not, if a non-Christian has something to say, about it!

 By RF Schatten The 1st Amendment of the Constitution applies to Christians only? no shit? Sounds more like pure, unadulterated Religious Bigotry...with a lot of horseshit, thrown in for window dressing. So Christians, are the only people in America with rights? 1st Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" Nice and short!! "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"...nowhere, does it say what Religion. "Freedom of Speech"...only for Christians? because Jews, along with Muslims, and all other non-Christian Religions, and Atheists...in Bryan Fischer's view, outside of Christianity...are not "Protected" by the First Amendment. What makes these Flag draped, Cross and Bible ...

Social Christians, and their self-denial of true Christianity

 By RF Schatten In the book "Lead by Humility" by Jeff Krames, you explore 12 lessons of leadership in life, based on the principles of Pope Francis I. Among them..."Take care of people, not lobbies" and "Temper Ideology with Pragmatism". Words clearly intended, towards a segment of our Christian population in our society. Sounds like good common sense...you just, can't always get what you want...but will those, whose words were meant for, ever listen? Nah!! Here you have a 10 point program for Happiness, given in an interview, to a long time friend of an Argentinian Magazine. Never in our lifetime, has a Pope ever been so candidly open, giving interviews with anyone who wishes. Giving out statements way beyond those, ever given by any other Pope in memory...going out into neighborhoods, and giving out a little care. Another example of his principles of leadership..."Avoid Insularity" and "Go where you are needed" Now, Christianit...

Justifying Genocide, and the indecent immorality of the thought

 By RF Schatten  The "Times of Israel" contributor, Yochanan Gordon...suggests that Genocide is permissible, if it's a means of achieving their goal...the eradication of the Gaza Strip. Question: If Genocide is morally permissible within their own mindset and in front of their eyes, as a means of achieving 'their' ultimate solution...would you have considered Germany's 'ultimate solution', within 'their' own mindset, morally permissible? Both set the same goal...the annihilation of the other!! Whether it's Showers, Gas Warfare, or via artillery obliteration...murder is murder!!...women, children, the elderly, are all innocent civilians caught in a continous quagmire...with no hope in sight. And there's no good guys on either side, remember...talks of complete annihilation, don't just come from one side of the table!! We have a never ending War, that 100 years from now...we'll all be dead...but, nothing will change, just...

O'Reilly's Great Marijuana Ruse, and his very own conflicting Polls

 By RF Schatten Oh no!! say it isn't so, Mr. Bill!! You lost in your very own Poll? "Should Marijuana be Legalized for Recreational Use"...89% out of 68,930 responses said; Yes!! His first accusation will undoubtedly be the official Republican excuse...ah!!... I mean, response: "It's possible our Poll got 'hijacked' by the Dems"... a la Thad Cochran. Sure it's possible...but more like "Highly Improbable". Democrats tend not to check O'Reilly's website, too much...if they want to hear him, they'll just listen to him blab on FOX...95% of his Internet base, are his fanatic followers. Bill O'Reilly is not a stupid man, he knows how to speak, manipulate, and convince his Conservative flock...in agreeing to his positions. 89% pro-weed? Must have been a shock, to his 'know it all' ego. He's now learning...I hope...the Republican Party's ignorant self-denial, that even Republicans smoke pot!!...whether publ...
