Politically challenged


Posted: Nov 11, 2014

Here is a video of students being asked some very basic political and historical questions. A big failure.  Some of the people I have am aquainted with from Europe have mentioned to me before that they are amazed at the lack of political/world knowledge of our youth.  I guess they are right.

Time-challengedNov 15, 2013
I have a friend (no, it's not me) who is time-challenged. She has just become a new mother and it is now much more pronounced. She almost lost her job in the past because she couldn't get to work on time. Her husband is almost at wit's end. They have never been on time for anything - meals, church, funerals, movies, etc. She is devastated by this and often ends up in tears. Does anyone identify with this and if so, any suggestions? She is an otherwise beautiful, articulate, ...

Ethically Challenged Romney Seeded Bain Aug 09, 2012
Sporting a crisply starched, long-sleeved Cuban guayabera atop prestigious LDS “endowment” undergarments (literally signaling his “Annointed One” persona) while on an overt Latino community pander mission, Mitt revisited fertile fundraising grounds, where he had made well documented lucrative deals with despotic El Salvadoran death squad financiers back in the early 80s.  According to “The Real Romney” author, Harry Strachan, Mitt had been worried about p ...

Illegals - Another Red Herring, PoliticallyMar 13, 2011
If the govt really wanted them out, they would be gone. If corporations/individuals want to cut costs where they can, what better way than to employ off-the-books workers to clean, for factory work, packing, slaughterhouse work, farm work, landscaping, restaurant work, house-cleaning. It's just like a tax break! Not only that, and the real reason no one is rushing them out the door, a stunning two-thirds of illegal immigrants pay Medicare, Social Security and personal income taxes. Yet, p ...

Politically Correctness Has To StopMar 19, 2015
I am so glad my daughter is so politically incorrect she keeps me almost rolling in the aisles laughing. I think I have heard it all only to hear something else. She leaves no one out, everyone can be a target. Refreshing! Ok, so I get it the fraternity singing on the bus about never letting N's join their fraternity. That was ridiculous because now everyone has cameras, something to record with so what you say can make it to the airways. The fraternity no more, disbanded, get that. J ...

Carson On Muslims Politically Expedient?Sep 20, 2015
sort of the way of some other documents...they pick and choose. Constitution doesn't work that way, particularly when running for POTUS. Now, this probably won't matter much, considering the audience he is playing to. In his NBC interview, Carson was asked: “So do you believe that Islam is consistent with the constitution?” “No,” he said, “I don’t, I do not.” Article VI of the US constitution states: “No religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualific ...

LMAO Politically "dumbest Thing On Earth"Jul 27, 2017
I feel sorry for these Republicans working on this.  Disagree with them on almost everything, but they are after all just people.  Look at their faces.  It's like they're in the Twilight Zone.  If only they had a real president.  Next, vote-a-rama! It's like watching the Muppets. ...

"PC" Or Politically Correct Has Always Been AroundOct 14, 2013
People with class and manners and sensitivity have always known that slurs and insults and labels are unacceptable. PC = Polite commentary Because there is not a person in the world that we couldn't insult if we wanted to.  Can you imagine a team called the WHITESKINS?  the BLACKSKINS?  How about the Whitetrailertrash-skins?  Etcetera ad nauseam. Come on - we can evolve (grow up) and admit some things some terms, etc., are best left in the third grade where they belo ...
