Recently, despite severe state budget deficits, a local school district approved a $68 million dollar bond to build a new high school. It's fancy, it's pretty, and it's big. WOW! What leaves me scratching my head is all the people I hear from in that district that complain about how high taxes are. Let me see here.....hmmmm, taxes are too high but I'm going to go ahead and allow a $68 million dollar school to be added on to my already overtaxed paycheck. You need to show up to every election, no matter how small! The reason we are in this mess we are in now is because the citizens don't bother to show up and vote, and a good portion that do have no clue about the current issues and the long term effects of the issues. Did this district need a new facility? Gee, I don't know but I would think right now wouldn't be the best time in the world to spend that kind of money! Our elected officials haven't been frugal with our money and I don't see how building these big fancy high schools are the right thing to do at this time.
The school district mentioned is not the only district getting fancy new facilities. When I head towards Dallas I see bunches of new public school buildings! There is one about an hour and 1/2 from here that has a football stadium many small colleges would only dream of having! I hear the politicians talk about how broke we are; unemployment is up, taxes are up,everything costs more money......gee, lets go spend 100 million more BORROWED dollars and build us a new school! I still say that all those that can ought to home school their children. Until local officials get spending under control I think there ought not to be any school property taxes paid! If these people worked in the private sector they would be fired for doing a poor job. Alas, it's the voters who must share lots of this blame. I believe if we ALL started showing up at elections and board meetings with "torches and pitchforks" we might get some better results. For any sensitive types, the "torches and pitchforks" line was meant to add a little humor here.
For far too long Americans have sat on the sidelines and have gotten fat and lazy! Now is the time to get up off our collective rumps and start fixing our country! We have managed to elect the epitome of our sworn enemy( the communist) to rule over our country. I used the word rule because that is what they aim to do, you better look close if you didn't know that or somehow disagree with that last statement. Barack Obama and his scummy band of confederates would have us all living like the peasants in China or the old USSR. If you don't believe that then you need to go back and listen to his speeches before the Olympics when he was lauding the "greatness" of China and the wonders that they had built. It's enough to make you sick if you love freedom and the United States of America.
Come on America! Wake the heck up, there is a train coming and it's just about to run straight over us! Lets vote out these dis-honest scumbags and lets all hold the politicians feet to the proverbial fire. Yes, it's a pain to keep up with, yes it takes time...But dang it, its about our freedom and the freedom of our descendants! Quit being selfish and get up and go tend the stuff that matters, stuff like your freedom from an overbearing government and tyranny! I guarantee you the Barack Obama would love nothing better than to rule us with an iron hand! He already thinks everyone else i far below him intellectually and that we need him to tell us what to do. This November we need to "cut his legs out from under him" by sending home every democrat that is up for election. If you don't know it by now the dem's are controlled by the communist. We also need to send home the liberal republicans such as Lindsay Graham,Lamar Alexander, John McCain, and a whole host of others who have gotten fat and happy on our dollars and waaaaaay out of touch with reality.
