"Whether we like it not"

"It is a vital national security interest of the United States to reduce these conflicts because whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower, and when conflicts break out, one way or another we get pulled into them," Obama said. "And that ends up costing us significantly in terms of both blood and treasure." President Barack Obama April 2010

This man is in control of our military and he has the audacity to say this? "Whether we like or not?" Well, Mr. President you could lay down and stop being the superpower we are if you're not proud of it. Oh, wait, you already have. Giving up our nukes, bowing to other leaders, and disregarding our Constitution.

When did being a proud American become a bad thing?

I am a proud American.

I am proud that we are a superpower in the world.

I am proud of all the men and women who go where they need to go and do what they need to do.

I am proud of the strength, endurance, and wisdom of the American people.

I am proud to be an American.

Department of education

It doesn't make sense that we send our local money to the federal government for them to send it back to us in the form of Title 1 money where they get to tell us how to spend it. The department of education was formed in 1979 have we accomplished anything other than giving up our control of our money?

Federal government should have never been involved in the schooling of our children. That is a state issue.

The state of California needs to grow up and get off the "government is going to take care of me bandwagon". Stand up and show our kids that we know best not some official with a suit.
