Rep. Peter King: “Ted Cruz has no business running?” Really?
Ted Cruz has no business running? Really? Republican Representative Peter King has said that Cruz is a “carnival barker with a big mouth who has no business running for President”!
Because he steadfastly defends our Constitution and freedom of religion, wants to secure our border and would like to see the IRS and Common Core ended, you think he has no business running? I’m guessing that you never mentioned that one Barack Hussein Obama had no business running for President.

Cruz is not a viable candidate because he, like Obama, has not been in Congress any longer than Obama was and he was never a Governor? That is what is being said by some. Let’s see who is more qualified.
A background check is in order. Barack Obama has a past which is very sketchy. There are no former girlfriends who have come forward.
There are almost no photos of his time in school except for those showing him as part of a choom gang, or sitting on a sofa with his friend from Pakistan while he was a college student. There is no available college transcript, leading some to think that he either had terrible grades, or was a foreign student.
After college, he became a Saul Alinsky believer and a community organizer. As such his job was to teach others how to protest against many things, organizing them for action against evil Capitalists. This included protesting banks which were not giving mortgages to those who had no way to pay them back.
Obama came out of obscurity to become our President, based on his so-called soaring rhetoric and his call for “fundamental change”. No one really asked what that change would entail. We have learned that it includes spitting in the eye of the Constitution, more government, more income redistribution, more money to Americans with their hands out, and more control over all Americans.
Just who is Ted Cruz? His former college professor, the famous Alan Dershowitz, has called him off-the-charts brilliant. He had a stellar career as a litigator, and was the youngest Solicitor General in the United States. He was an adjunct professor of law at the University of Texas School of Law in Austin, where he taught Supreme Court litigation.
Obama was never the professor he claimed to be. Cruz clerked for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. He argued before the Supreme Court nine times. He won an award for the “Best Brief Award by the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG), for U.S. Supreme Court briefs in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007”
He has served two years in the U.S. Senate, never backing down from the causes in which he believes. The fact that he has not been able to convince his fellow Republicans to go along with him does not mean that he is wrong, or is not a leader. A leader will take an opposing position just because it is the right thing to do. It sometimes takes time to convince people to have the courage to join the fight.
Liberals and leftists will condemn Cruz for stating so boldly that our rights come not from government, but from God. Chris Christie is saying the same thing. Cruz has been condemned for announcing his candidacy in a place that does not include those who are non-believers. He added that he thinks God is not done with us. Thankfully he is not talking about the presumption that “Islam has been woven into the fabric of our country since its founding”, as did Barack Obama.
The National Review, a more conservative journal, wrote about Cruz’s “tone” while speaking. Now it is all about the “tone” and not the content? It seems people on both sides will find something not to like about Ted Cruz.
The important thing, while we debate whether he is a “natural born” citizen, is that he brings a boldly stated conservative message to the debate. While we have lamented that Republican candidates have in the past refused to make a strong argument in defense of their positions, we are watching Ted Cruz tell it like it is. It is refreshing and exciting.
Quite apart from whether he is eligible or wins the nomination, he will make the campaign and debates much more informative.

In between fund-raising trips, the American President walked to the podium Monday and promised there would be consequences if the Russian president continued to make vicious mischief in the wake of a horrific mass murder that he almost surely aided and abetted.
He scolded the Russian-backed, Russian-trained and Russian-armed separatists, who have been busy “removing bodies from the crash site, oftentimes without the care that we would normally expect from a tragedy like this,” adding: [Are you laughing out load as I am? He calls this a tragedy, as if no one CAUSED it to happen, and then expects the thug terrorists who did this to actually use CARE in handling the aftermath! You just can't make this stuff up!]
“This is the kind of behavior that has no place in the community of nations.” And he warned that, “If Russia continues to violate Ukraine’s sovereignty . . . the costs for Russia’s behavior will only continue to increase.”
The Russian president must have chuckled. Or rolled his eyes. The American President has made such pronouncements too many times before. Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/wages-weakness-article-1.1875079#ixzz38CVWX0fH

LUIS GUTIERREZ TO LA RAZA: GET AMNESTY TO 'PUNISH' AMERICANS AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) believes Hispanics should get amnesty and citizenship to punish Americans who are against illegal immigration.
After he told the La Raza conference in Los Angeles that President Barack Obama gave the Latino community a "down payment" with his temporary amnesty program that halted the deportations "of our people," Gutierrez urged Hispanics to seek retribution at the ballot box.
"We need to raise our voices, make ourselves citizens, sign up to vote and punish those who speak ill and criminalize children who come to our border," Gutierrez reportedly said in Spanish this weekend.

TEXAS STATE SENATOR: 100,000 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT GANG MEMBERS IN STATE

What Emergency? CBO Says Just $25 Million of Obama’s $3.7 Billion Border Bill Would Be Spent This Summer
Sessions said some reports say Obama could create work permits for up to six million illegal residents, and said Congress should take a stand and refuse to allow any funding for this activity.
Senate GOP staffers have noted in recent weeks that while the flood of just 60,000 children has led to billions in possible additional costs, the Senate-passed immigration bill would create millions of new green card opportunities for non-U.S. citizens — about 30 million over the next decade. Sessions noted that the Senate bill could allow almost every Central American family to enter the U.S. legally.
“President Obama’s illegal work permits add to the already-huge flow of lawful work permits issued by the federal government,” Sessions said.
“Between 2000 and 2013, we lawfully issued almost 30 million work and immigrant visas. To put that number in perspective, 30 million is about the population of El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala combined.” Senate GOP staffers have noted in recent weeks that while the flood of just 60,000 children has led to billions in possible additional costs, the Senate-passed immigration bill would create millions of new green card opportunities for non-U.S. citizens — about 30 million over the next decade.

Teacher Sues MEA To Escape Union
Muskegon, MI: Fourth graders learn to own their ‘white privilege’ – thanks to Common Core-aligned lesson
Zaner-Bloser, which is based in Columbus, Ohio, is distributing a lesson plan aimed at teaching second-graders about “equality” by highlighting labor issues, according to Education Action Group Foundation, a non-partisan organization that looks to promote education reform.
–
Federal lawmakers want to prevent schools from employing convicted sex
offenders, kidnappers, murderers, pornographers, spouse beaters and
rapists.
Public schools would be barred from employing teachers and other
workers convicted of sexual offenses against children or other violent
crimes under a bill the House approved Tuesday.
The bill has run into objections from major teachers' unions like the
National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers.
In letters to lawmakers, their criticisms included concerns that the
measure might jeopardize workers' protections under union contracts.
In addition, the NEA wrote that criminal background checks "often
have a huge, racially disparate impact" — a reference to critics'
complaints that minorities make up a disproportionately high proportion
of people convicted of crimes. http://www.newstribune.com/news/2013/oct/23/house-bill-makes-schools-check-sex-offenders/

Attention, parents: Common Core opt-out form now available
Courtesy of Truth in American Education, you can now exercise your parental rights to protect your children from the nationalized Common Core racket. Download, print, Facebook, tweet, and share the opt-out form. The revolt is growing. Make your voice and your choice heard.
As the American Principles Project, a conservative education think tank, reported
last year, Common Core’s technological project is “merely one part of a
much broader plan by the federal government to track individuals from
birth through their participation in the workforce.” The 2009 porkulus
package included a “State Fiscal Stabilization Fund” to bribe states into constructing “longitudinal data systems (LDS) to collect data on public-school students.”
These systems will aggregate massive amounts of personal data
— health-care histories, income information, religious affiliations,
voting status and even blood types and homework completion. The data
will be available to a wide variety of public agencies. And despite
federal student-privacy protections guaranteed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, the Obama administration is paving the way for private entities to buy their way into the data boondoggle. Even more alarming, the U.S. Department of Education is encouraging a radical push from aggregate-level data-gathering to invasive individual
student-level data collection. http://michellemalkin.com/2013/03/11/attention-parents-common-core-opt-out-form-now-available/
------------------------
-----------------------
AND THEY WONDER WHY IT IS CALLED “OBAMACORE”???
Proponents of Common Core are outraged that opponents sometimes brand the education reform initiative as “Obamacore“. Really? Just because it is already being used a a propaganda tool to promote the President?
Recently, at least one Tennessee school had students complete an
assignment as part of the CCSS (Common Core State Standards) approved
lesson plans. The first part of the assignment was for students to read
President Barack Obama’s 2009 Inauguration Address. Then they had to
answer the “Big Question.” And what WAS the “Big Question”?? “How will
President Obama make our country more secure. What role does he see our
country playing in the world.”

All the employees of school districts on a witch hunt to expel

Back to Normal.
The purpose of psychologist Enrico Gnaulati’s 2013 book is to
argue how ordinary childhood behavior is often misdiagnosed as ADD,
ADHD, depression and autism — frequently with life-long,
disturbing consequences. But along the way he raises the taboo
question of whether we “label boys as mentally unstable,
behaviorally unmanageable, academically underachieving, in need of
special-education services, or displaying behavior warranting
school suspension just because their behavior deviates noticeably
from that of the average girl?”
He adds, “In a sense, girl behavior has become the standard by
which we judge all kids.”
Boys who play in the way
noted
above are not on a path to mass murder, contrary to what zero
tolerance school policies suggest. http://spectator.org/archives/2013/10/18/boyhood-is-not-a-mental-illnes

-----------------------------
Sixth-grade children in a history class in the Bryant School District
in Arkansas (whose website brags that the district "has embraced" Common
Core standards) were assigned a project to update the U.S. Bill of
Rights because it is "outdated." They were instructed to "prioritize,
revise, omit two and add two amendments."
The written assignment is full of lies, such as "the government of the
United States is currently revisiting the Bill of Rights"; that "They
(presumably the government) have determined that it is outdated and may
not remain in its current form any longer;" and that our Constitution
can be changed by a "National Revised Bill of Rights Task Force (NRBR)"
(to which students could be appointed).
Students were presented with the "lifeboat situation": too many people
are in the sinking lifeboat and the students were ordered to choose
whose lives are not worth saving and should be thrown overboard so the
lifeboat won't sink. Variations of the lifeboat situation have been
widely used in public schools for many years. http://townhall.com/columnists/phyllisschlafly/2013/10/22/checking-your-kids-school-assignments-n1729032/page/full

Zaner-Bloser, which is based in Columbus, Ohio, is distributing a lesson plan aimed at teaching second-graders about “equality” by highlighting labor issues, according to Education Action Group Foundation, a non-partisan organization that looks to promote education reform.
As part of the plan, students spend a week reading “Harvesting Hope,” a book about Chavez written by children’s author Kathleen Krull, and then discuss what the lesson plan calls “scales of fairness,” which compare the living conditions of farm workers to that of land owners.
“Why are we teaching organized labor lessons to young children?” asked Kyle Olson, the publisher of the group’s website. “Isn’t there a simpler way to teach about fairness, like saying it’s not fair if Johnny works all day and gets one piece of candy while Jimmy plays video games all day and gets the same piece of candy?” “Our focus is on distinctive programs that inspire all students to become engaged, literate participants in the global society.”

Just how your children are being indoctrinated while at school
Just
why am I posting these stories for you to read? I am trying to
convince you that you
need to take an active role in learning just what your children are
being taught. You need to stand up for what is right, to demonstrate to
your children that you are willing to take a stand against progressive
education.

A classroom of 14 and 15-year-old Illinois high school students were assigned the task of deciding the fate of ten fictional characters in an exercise that critics called a lesson in death panels.

A classroom of 14 and 15-year-old Illinois high school students were assigned the task of deciding the fate of ten fictional characters in an exercise that critics called a lesson in death panels.
The assignment was part of a
sociology unit for freshmen and sophomore students at St. Joseph-Ogden
High School and was first reported by writer Lenny Jarratt.
The lesson involves 10 people who are in desperate need of kidney dialysis.But there’s a problem. The local hospital only has enough machines to support six patients. “That
means four people are not going to live,” the assignment states. “You
must decide from the information below which six will survive.” [Preparing our children for serving on Death Panels, perhaps? This ought to make them feel oh, so safe.]
“The first thing I thought was they were desensitizing kids to death panels,” he told me. “They are preparing them for it.”
Principal Brian Brooks told me that assessment is way off base. “The
assignment has nothing to do with a ‘Death Panel,’” he said. He said the purpose of the lesson
was to teach students about social values and how people in our society
unfortunately create biases based off of professions, race and gender.

Parents were upset after Carrick High School approved a plan to have a Trayvon Martin theme day during the school’s homecoming.
The homecoming committee, and school voted and approved the theme which is part of school spirit week.
Parents were upset that kids were being encouraged to wear hoodies to school during the Wednesday theme. http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.
------------------------------Take a look at these third grade Common Core worksheets [Correction: Common Core-aligned worksheets].*
The
first story for third graders takes a twisted social work approach to
learning.
The first worksheet is the tale of
Peter and Patty. It’s a terrible piece of literature (I’m using the word
‘literature’ very loosely). It’s about a father who abandons his
children in the woods but wishes them well; some woman in the woods
takes them in, feeds them fruits and vegetables (she must have been
listening to Michelle Obama); and they all live happily ever after.
Seriously???The next story is about a cheating husband and father, and,
again, it’s for third grade. http://www.

Leave it to government bureaucrats to think
that government transparency efforts should somehow be shrouded in
secrecy when vetting Common Core testing.
That’s
exactly what’s happening in Utah, where state education officials are
asking members of a parent review committee tasked with scrutinizing the
new Common Core-aligned standardized tests “to sign a nondisclosure
agreement that could muzzle them from discussing the test questions with
other parents,” reports The Salt Lake Tribune.

Is it an extreme case of helicopter parenting or a smart move to keep kids safe?
That's what parents are
asking after hearing about a Long Island middle school's decision to ban
most balls during recess and also require supervision of tag, even
cartwheels, due to safety concerns. http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/09/

The text of the note (don’t we all love these little school notes?) reads:
Dear Parents,I have received word from Federal Programs Preschool pertaining to lunches from home. Parents are to be informed that students can only bring lunches from home if there is a medical condition meriting a specific diet, along with a physicians note to that regard.I am sorry for any inconvenience. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact [name redacted], the Health Coordinator for Federal Programs Preschool at [number redacted].
Linda says she was “hurt,” “confused,” and “dumbfounded” by the
school’s insistence the nanny-staters feed her child instead of her. This is what happens with big government – it goes from best-pal to bully in a heartbeat. http://www.ijreview.com/2013/

You have to give
school officials in Los Angeles credit for a good idea [I for one am not
certain this was a good idea]:
put iPads in the hands of over 650,000 students to give them the most
advanced learning tools available in an effort to boost their interest
in academics.
But the $1 billion plan is taking some heat after students in the
nation's second-largest school district cracked the tablets’ security
settings to forgo reading, writing and ‘rithmetic and instead post on
Facebook and play games during class time. http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/---------------
The Wausau, Wis. School District says it’s okay to jingle bells and
don gay apparel but lay off the Baby Jesus stuff – and that has parents
and students ready to deck somebody’s halls.
The community became enraged after the elementary schools canceled
their upcoming Christmas concerts and the school district issued
guidelines that curtailed the number of sacred holiday songs the high
school choir could perform.
Phil Buch, the director of the Wausau West High School choir programs
since 1981, told the Wausau Daily Herald that he was given three
choices after meeting with school officials about the upcoming yuletide
season.
He was told the choirs could perform one sacred song for every five
secular songs performed; eliminate all Christmas music or postpone
December concerts. http://nation.foxnews.com/

Sixth-grade children in many Texas public schools are being tasked with designing flags for a new socialist nation as part of the state's curriculum, EAG News reported Monday.
"Notice socialist/communist nations use symbolism on their flags
representing various aspects of their economic system. Imagine a new
socialist nation is creating a flag and you have been put in charge of
creating a flag," says a lesson plan being used as part of CSCOPE, the curriculum being used by over 70 percent of Texas school districts. http://www.examiner.com/

If You Learned Your Kid Was in a School Play Containing Bestiality and Incest, How Would You React?
[The students were forced to read the play out loud, including the parts out loud.]
That’s the news many parents received when it came to light that drama teacher Andrew Cupo of Cactus Shadows High School
in Scottsdale, Ariz., introduced students in an advanced acting class
to an absurdist play called “The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia?” by Edward
Albee. In the Tony Award-winning play — which students performed in class rather than in public — a middle-aged man with a wife and teenage son admits he’s in love with a goat named Sylvia with whom he’s had sex, the Arizona Republic reports, adding that the play also explores themes of tolerance, morality, and revenge [including incest].

MORE PORNO RECOMMENDED BY COMMON CORE — THE BLUEST EYE
[Macey has heavily edited the following excerpts from “The Bluest Eye” by Toni Morrison, but they are still very graphic. Obviously the reason behind some parents calls for removing the book are the graphic depictions of incest, rape and pedophilia. And not just that, the book actually lets the reader see the depictions from the perpetrators point of view.
Please read the rest of Macey’s article posted at: http://politichicks.tv/column/
