Wait...what? Moms Demand Action trying to sneak in here?!

Be involved. School board meetings, city council meetings, etc. there is nothing stopping us from being involved like any other special interest group.

 

[Seadog]

You do realize that there are small, vocal groups within both
parties and the ones calling for gun control are not necessarily part of the group calling for climate control, etc. these “morons” , for the most part, are not any dumber than any of us, they just don’t like some of what we like, and we don’t like some of the things they do like. Most of these “broads” are women who believe there is no reason for us to have multiple firearms, and certainly no reason for us to have “weapons of war”. And way to many times our response has been “come and take them”. I know fine people who see no reason for me to have the firearms I have, they are concerned about climate change because they see significant changes in weather patterns, but we agree on virtually everything else that we talk about. There are only a few bad apples in either the D or the R bucket. Lumping all the left into one horrible group is no more correct than Biden lumping all the right into whatever name he is calling us today.

Small portion of the party eh? Nazis were a small portion of Germany and they took over the whole country and then most of Europe. They disarmed a lot of people before they killed them with extreme prejudice. Anyone to stupid to understand the natural laws of nature of being able to defend ones life is a complete and utter moron.

People that use catchphrases of weapons of war and high-capacity magazines are either disingenuous, lying or morons. Such as these MDAs

The people that I surround myself with, we might not agree on everything but for the most part we do. I don’t hang with fema Nazis, I don’t hang with Democrats because I don’t believe in the things that they believe in. I separate myself from BS and drama.

The Democrat party is predominantly run by socialists now. They don’t try to hide it. The Democrat party is for everything idiotic and brain dead in this country.

From the climate change BS that you brought up that is nothing more than money laundering. Their utter disdain and hate of our country to calling men women Along with all the pronoun BS, murdering the unborn or to normalizing deviancy.

Right up to the distain for our ability defend ourselves. They blame inanimate objects and believe in no personal accountability of the person committing crimes. They want special privileges and cashless bail if your a “minority”. They want to defund the police. I could go on and on. Democrats that vote for people that propose these types of legislation are worse in my opinion than the politicians that they elect because they are responsible for putting them there. I don’t care about this left wing right wing people in both parties BS. If there’s a cancer you cut it out and remove it.

You don’t try and find common ground with it. You don’t concede and give up your rights bit by bit. MDA are an evil group of deranged women trying to use misguided fear and emotion to dictate. And the only reason they have any traction is because they’re being funded by people that want to undermine our constitutional rights and our country itself.

People who have been messing with countries for decades. If a group has direct ties and funding to Soros or Bloomberg they are evil.

I don’t care how much we might have in common with these nut jobs. I don’t want to associate with them, I don’t want to converse with them, and I don’t give a rats arse what they have to say.

Their pure disdain for our rights of natural defense, trying to deny how we defend ourselves, blaming inanimate objects instead of holding evil people accountable is why I believe there is no reasoning with these idiots.

And if anyone wants to disarm our republic I put them in the same boat as the Nazi party. That’s what you do right before you start rounding up the opposite party for prison or the oven.

My family is all conservative. My wife’s family is all liberal left. Been married for 14 years. It has been my experience that middle ground is hard to find on certain issues. But it’s not hopeless…

Mr seadog I totally feel where you’re coming from. I like your fiery no BS attitude, and you’re not wrong. Largely I feel the same way, but I can be honest with myself and admit that deep down I think that mindset is a losing battle. The modern world sucks for people like us…

Mr McMillan I applaud your open mindednesses, moderate approach, and your ability to see both sides of an issue. You’re not wrong either.

It’s going to take all types of us to create change. It’s a tangled web we weave.

I'm sure your comments are made sarcastically, and maybe snidely, but your probably correct.
Republicans aren't as mad naturally as the other party. Why do demonrats always yell like brain dead qbiden?
Why does blm, antiva, both demonrat organizations riot and destroy cities and kill people?

There are Republicans out there that are taking a stand and they get destroyed by the left wing media and outside donors that bring in millions of dollars that are negative. In Georgia Herschel Walker has had about 50 million dollars in outside of Georgia money come into the state to try and defeat him.
Take Pennsylvania for instance. The demonrat candidate for senate was a mayor and missed 50 some city meetings in the town he represented. (FYI, he is a rich kid that has never had a real job) Currently has had a stroke and has a very difficult time putting two sentences together. Stroke or whatever. I hope he recovers, but he is not capable of representing the people of Pennsylvania.
Spare me the liberal opposition to his Republican opponent. I can shoot that down in a heartbeat and you don't want to see it.
FYI, it's not about the party, it's about the people of the state they represent. If they can't even take care of themselves, why would anyone want them to represent the Populus?
Let's move on to Georgia again. Stacy Abrams has constantly said the election was stolen from her, just like the hildabeast in 2016.
Yet, your media continues to say Trump is wrong saying his election was stolen.
Who is right? Who has the evidence? The media and demonrats don't agree with Trump, but you don't see them disagreeing with abrams and the hildabeast.

It's not a rant, it's the facts, like em or not.

Nice rant, but no, I meant it. Lots of people on here that know everything and then don't run for office to correct the issues with the country. I think more should step up.

You have may or not noticed that most of the folks on this forum are not wealthy people with a lot of free time to pursue political ambitions, nor the children of wealthy people that can dedicate their lives to public service in an elected position some of which are non-paid positions.
Now, if you review the credentials of most school board members, City commission members, and so on, they have wealth or are spouses of wealth.
It's pretty easy to look that up using voting records, and other internet assets.
Of course, there are the anomalies like the Republican truck driver that took over the NY seat after spending a couple hundred bucks which indicates the person holding that office was a really bad person to hold that office, but that's very rare.
Suppose we support a law/regulation/whatever that says school board members must represent the political ideals of the constituents they represent and make less than $50,000 a year as a total family income? If that income substantially increased with no way to track why, they were no longer allowed to hold that office. (Political bribes)
That would create a school board that actually represents the kids going to school in that district.
Standardized test scores equal across the board would in a few years determine what the school board members are doing within their districts. Good or bad. If test scores are going down in one district, replace the school board and institute a new group dedicated to reading, math, science, and geography.
Any woke crap results in a total firing of the school board.
Kids are in school to learn and not become subjects of woke socialist test subjects.
Joseph Mangla did that in WWII in the death camps.

And you followed with another.

If the people here that are in the smartest most qualified bestest ever category, then the wealthy part shouldn't matter. They'd be so smart as to get grassroots support, financial support, and probably overwhelming public support easy enough. So again, I'd love to see people put up. I mean, obviously the hive mind says that little ole me isn't in that smartest most qualified bestest ever category, so I'm out. But I'd still love to see the real ones go forth.

What are you doing? What office are you running to support your party?
You are disparaging the people on this forum for doing nothing and you are doing the same.
My comments about why the folks on this forum are not and cannot financially are factual and correct.
Sadly it's a part of how our country runs politically currently.

You're missing key points as always Dennis Hoddy. I said that the bestest and brightest that always say they know everything should run. I don't claim that, and yourself and many others have said I'm not the bestest and brightest so I'd be disqualified it seems.

I don't think I missed anything. Point out the ones I missed if you would please.
Do you want me to go back and start quoting your criticisms with comments?
Pretty sure I offered some fixes I think would fix this education debacle we have going on in this country now with the teachers union and so on.

Your definitely up to your normal routine of skipping the points you don't like, or choosing to ignore them. If you can't get your answer from previous posts, I don't know how to fill in the gaps for you. Remember, I'm obviously not, as you have indicated before, the best and brightest.

You did seem to have ideas for fixes. I don't know that they'd work or be legally permissible, but they were ideas.

Thanks for my idea of the fixes. It seems pretty simple to me if we want our country to move forward as a world leader as in the past vs falling behind as we are doing now.
Currently the US is rated average from the Huff Post which is a liberal site you might relate to.

U.S. Falls In World Education Rankings, Rated 'Average'​

U.S. Falls In World Education Rankings, Rated 'Average'

Ed. Clarification: HuffPost Education originally reported that the United States was ranked 14th by the OECD. That figure is the nation's ranking in reading skills, not the overall ranking of the country.
The United States has fallen to "average" in international education rankings released by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, according to the AFP.
America has received scores around 500 on a scale that goes up to 1,000: 487 in math, 500 in reading and 502 in science.

This liberal woke education about gender and all that crap isn't working.
We need educated people that can understand science and math.
