Re: 18 Times Obama Trashed America in Asia...
1. True, or do you think we should have more children living in poverty...?
2. True, see 1.
3. True, many poor communities have underfunded schools
4. True, conservatives and republicans refuse to invest more in inner city education.
5. True, our public schools' history classes focus too much on American history and too little on geography.
6. True, we need to have a serious talk about BLM related issues even if we ultimately reject their proposals.
Absent, at the risk of putting you on bad terms with your fellows, I am going to separate you from the circle jerk pack of imbeciles on your side of the aisle that do not do what you just did, and I want to compliment you for it. I disagree with you, but at least you are not a lazy leftist. You at least had the wherewithal to take on the actual article and dispute it, point by point, even if not sufficiently well reasoned.
All the idiot one line slingers from your side are slinging their one liners because they have nothing else but an overabundance of partisan fecal matter to disburse,being so full of it, and have not one debate bone in their cumulative bodies.
But okay, here is where I disagree:
1.Poor folk, and their children, have existed throughout history. That we have "relatively" poor children in the USA is not a rarity... but some of the policies, especially liberal policies that more promote promiscuity and therefore inevitably create too many single parent households, well, that proliferates poverty among children.
2.With food stamps, subsidized breakfasts/lunches in public schools... and all the other child related programs in the USA, there absolutely should be no child, at least with parents that minimally care, that should be going in any way hungry.
3.Our wealth has nothing to do with how substandard our education is for anybody, including our poor communities. Our children are being ill served by the educational infrastructure that is not concerned with educating American children to be positive, pragmatic and prudent, but to be abnormally socially conscious and to blame others for their own, often self created, misfortune. Not to mention that teachers unions, and I am a former teacher, are not promoting the interests of children, but of teachers.
4.Yes I agree, we lack “the political will” to properly assist our inner cities by ridding them of liberal, Democrat leftists running the shows in almost all the inner cities that leave our kids not only without any direction, but impoverished and with a chip on their shoulders despite the fact that they live in relative luxury compared to most of the rest of the world, compared to all of history.
5.Knowledge of the rest of the world is one area we do need to improve upon, perhaps, if only to understand just how well we have it compared to most others. I can tell you, living here in Panama, what middle class families here in most of Panama live in, have as resources, etc... would be considered below poverty level in the USA.
6. Kapernack is a coddled baby having no real conception of how well he and the rest of America, even our relative “poor” have it. Get out, discover the world, understand what America has given American individuals and the rest of the world.
Yes, I could go on, but there are word/character limitations on the site... and my rebuttal should at least be sufficient to give perspective to comments by a president who should know a lot better and, despite his having a high degree of education, he not only comes off as but is, indeed, absolutely clueless.
This encapsulates a good reason a college education should be questioned in this day and age... if a supposedly educated, at the highest levels, president is this clueless about the realities of the world, perhaps we should consider disbanding our universities so as to preserve our posterity... or at least a lot of the frivolous coursework that has detrimentally insinuated itself where practical knowledge used to reign supreme.
