Hmmmm…….

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who announced his presidential bid on Twitter ……….has sent an email to activists declaring that his presidential run “is God’s plan for me.”

"I do not come to you tonight with the ability to speak Spanish," Huckabee said. "But I do speak a common language: I speak Jesus."

"There's a big country out here with millions of Americans who believe in God and are not ashamed to say so," Jindal said. "I would be wary of a president who didn't seek wisdom from the Almighty."

During an appearance on NBC’s  ”Meet The Press” earlier this year, Gov. Kasich explained to host Chuck Todd that he was exploring what the Lord wants before to deciding to enter the race.

Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee recently said “For me, this is not just a political or financial decision, it is a spiritual decision. You know, the only thing worse than not being elected president would be to be elected president without God’s blessing.

“I believe God will make it clear to me if that’s something I’m supposed to do,” Ben Carson told Fox News last August..

“God came to me in a dream. He had a white robe and a white beard, and told me our next president would be another colored man,” said Robertson on “The 700 Club.” “I’m interpreting that to be Dr. Ben Carson. Unless, Barack Obama seeks a third term.”

Jesus knows …..

Here We Go Again…...

Have you seen this member of the notorious Dark Money Gang ?

Raise Up A Child In The Way He Should Go....Right Wing Version

In an attempt to manipulate the thinking of 'future voters" ....they already have the attention of corporatists and religious fundamentalists.....those on the right are going full speed ahead to demolish the public school system. And make money doing it.

"We need to be cautious about talking too much about these activities," Dick DeVos warned in a December 2002 speech at the Heritage Foundation. legislatures...Pro-privatization think tanks had concluded that vouchers were the most politically viable way to "dismantle" public schools...Dick DeVos introduced his 2002 Heritage Foundation audience to a covert strategy to provide "rewards or consequences" to state legislators, ... Vouchers should be promoted by local "grass roots" entities and could not be "viewed as only a conservative idea."  DeVos added, "This has got to be the battle.  It will not be as visible."http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/05/04/972949/-Blackwater-In-Law-DeVos-outlines-stealth-plot-against-Public-Education

The whole idea of "parent trigger laws", such as the one Bobby Jindall introduced in his state, is to help parents in failing schools, usually in the inner city, to have a say in their children's learning process, to restructure them, and save their children's future. But some parents have been misled by these organizations, and there is doubt about their effectiveness.  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/01/parent-trigger-laws_n_3528346.html?ref=topbar

But like everything else, the Republicans and other Right wing groups have found a way to hijack the process, funnel taxpayer money to pay for it, dumb down the student body, insert their revised educational cirriculum, and make a buck or two. People are beginning to catch on:

And in order to to muddy the waters a bit, they have given these groups innocent, patriotic names: Parent Revolution is one. Don't be fooled....ALEC, the name the Koch Brothers hide behind is the one sending model legislation to the state for their implementation.

The Bradley Foundation, headed by Governor Scott Walker's campaign co-chair Michael Grebe, has underwritten a massive, pro-privatization propaganda campaign, including "a systematic and relentless campaign to turn public opinion against the public school system. http://www.prwatch.org/news/2013/04/12067/new-report-exposes-bradley-foundation-funding-behind-“massive”-campaign-promote-s

So....the "outrage" over the public education system country wide begins. All by design just like all the others we've heard over the last years: abortion, voter fraud, freedom of religion, taxes, immigration.......mock it, defund it, criticize it's effectiveness, replace it, privatize it.

UPDATE:
Now even the Romney gang has something to say about it: 

FEHRNSTROM: The governor believes that what we put in place in Massachusetts was a penalty and he disagrees with the court's ruling that the mandate was a tax.

TODD: But he agrees with the president that it is not -- and he believes that you should not call the tax penalty a tax, you should call it a penalty or a fee or a fine.

Or more succinctly: 
The mandate functions in much the same way. It arises from Congress' ability to tax, but is not in and of itself a tax.

Daggone That Obamacare

Sometimes it takes everything you've got to push the facts out there. We all know the Repubs are like a well-oiled machine in spewing half-truths and misinformation. And some are more successful than others...

TELL IT TO WOMEN FACE TO FACE

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) quietly repealed his state’s equal pay law last week, a decision that will make it harder for victims of wage discrimination to sue for lost earnings and back wages. The law was enacted primarily to address the massive pay gap that exists between male and female workers, which is even bigger in Wisconsin than in other states.

Repealing the law was a no-brainer for state Sen. Glenn Grothman (R), who led the effort because of his belief that pay discrimination is a myth driven by liberal women’s groups. Ignoring multiple studies showing that the pay gap exists, Grothman blamed females for prioritizing childrearing and homemaking instead of money, saying, “Money is more important for men,” The Daily Beast reports:

It is a mystery to me how we could have struggled by ourselves, given up so much, worked so hard, endured the insults and innuendos, made great strides......to get kicked in the teeth by these hateful, chauvinistic, backward-thinking Right Wing assholes. (Yes, I said that.) I worked my butt off for MANY years as a college-educated mother of four, sometimes working two office jobs at a time to give my family a nice home, food, clothes and NEVER ON WELFARE. You do what you've got to do.....

And these fools...Mitch McConnell, Scott Walker, and all the other Republican governors, congressman and mayors have the audacity to condemn, ridicule, demean, mock, attack, and LIE about what their agenda is.
