[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With more ex-school board members on the BOS I assume it will be a free ride to a draconian tax increase.  Dranesville schools will still get shat upon.[/quote]

I see... so it's just that Republicans are irrational. You don't want to hear the message that you can't get something (lower class size) for nothing (no funding increases). So you put out the argument that we don't need to have more funding to get what you want, that FCPS is just some sort of shell game. They have the money; they're just hiding it somewhere. Or perhaps they don't have the money, but they're giving it to those undeserving (*gasp*) poor people, or ESOL kids. And when those arguments fail because voters understand that your numbers don't add up, and they don't agree with your argument about what "fairness" is, you run to a conspiracy theory, where [i]even if[/i] FCPS gets more funding, "they" will never provide it to "you."

Go live out in the woods somewhere and provide your own security, fire protection, home schooling, food supply, medical research, and the rest of the bundle of goods that your government [i]isn't[/i] providing for you. The problem is not that public schools don't provide enough to the wealthy, or that they don't listen to the wealthy. The problem is that they have to provide for EVERYBODY. They don't ONLY listen to you. Welcome to democracy.[/quote]

Excellent summary of the "Langley Republican" mindset and the reasons why others reject it.[/quote]
