Tea Party targets common core

[Anonymous]

When all kids are uniform--then we can have common standards. The goal of every teacher should be to take the student where he is and push/pull him as far as possible.

Not a single friend of mine has mentioned this on FB. They aren't on the Wackadoodle alert system.

I just got done reading eight or nine of the opposition web sites. They are full of factual errors about the creation of the standards and the government's role in them.

Yes because that's worked out so well thus far.

Betcha if they proposed teaching the creation story instead of evolution the Tea Party would be singing a different tune.

The Tea Party is about taxes and government spending. It is about smaller government. It is NOT about religion.

A lot of people would LIKE to decide what the tea party is about. But it's a movement and you don't control it.

n late June, in Temecula, Calif., members of a local Tea Party group took dogs and picket signs to Friday prayers at a mosque that is seeking to build a new worship center on a vacant lot nearby.

on the mosque near the world trade center site:

The meeting came one day after Tea Party Express chairman Mark Williams called the project a monument to 9/11 attackers "for the worship of the terrorists' monkey-god."

Statement on theteapartyplatform.com

Statement on Religious Freedom

At the risk of offending anyone I am going to make the following statement. The United States of America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and is indeed a Christian nation.

This statement is not intended to imply that other religions are not welcome to worship freely in this country but when those who worship any non-Christian religion do so with

a) the intent to attack those of other faiths or
b) when their intent is to deprive those of other faiths their right to worship as they
please or
c) when they form in communities with the express intent to not assimilate and
d) when they demand exceptions to state or local laws that would allow them to
deny freedoms to their own community that are contrary to our Constitutional
protections

we must consider whether their place of worship should be allowed to remain.

And the data on Tea Party and Religion

The results of the polling, by the Washington DC firm Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), show that nearly half of respondents who consider themselves part of the Tea Party movement are also part of the religious right, and of the 81% of Tea Partiers who identify as Christian, 57% consider themselves part of the religious right. Only 15% of Tea Partiers, according to the PRRI poll, don't have a religious affiliation.

Fifty-five percent of people who say they are part of the tea party agree that "America has always been and is currently a Christian nation"

Noonan nails it.

The same lying Noonan who calls Benghazi different but goes on to excuse Iran-contra as "out of control". The only thing Noonan is capable of is having a creepy infatuation with a useless President. I doubt even Nancy misses Reagan as much as Noonan does.

However; too bad the Daily Show calls out what a pathetic pile of crap Peggy Noonan is.

Al Qaeda was planning to use serin and mustard Gas by remote control planes to kill Americans. Apparently the plot was thrwarted. That OK? The Tea Party doesn't think so, and if they are called a 'bunch of racists' as a result, they truly do not care.

A liberal is a conservative who hasn't been mugged yet - were it one of your kids at the Boston Marathon, etc. you would finally see the light. But now it's just theoretical so who cares, right?

yeah that's why we think you are racist. Because you hate al Qaeda and we don't. And because only conservatives lost loved ones in 9/11.

Keep telling yourself that.

The word racist only gets pulled out of the bag when logic fails.

The problem with liberals is they know al Qaeda exists, claim to hate them, but won't identify or admit a terror attack. This has radicals laughing at us, stating it outright. And still you don't listen.

Wasn't it Winston Churchill who was once asked why the British were fighting the Nazis? If I recall his answer was something to the effect of "If we stop, it doesn't mean they will". That's what y'all don't get. You think if we stop being vigilant, they will stop being offended and peace will reign.

Y'all have no idea what kind of enemy you are dealing with.

This thread is supposed to be about the common core curriculum. Please either stick to the topic or start your own thread.

BTW, I have still not seen a good explanation for the Tea Party's position. I"m not sure if that means that no good explanation exists or that one exists, but our TPers are too busy wandering off into the weeks to be able to explain it.

I cannot speak for the Tea Party although I am a Conservative

The problem is not the standards--it is in how they may be used and evaluated.

Can you explain that further? In what way might they be used that would trouble you?
