In Barack Obama's address to Congress, he made a point of emphasizing education. He pointed out that our education system is failing. I wonder what his first clue was? Could it be the kid at his Starbucks who couldn't make change when the computerized cash register went on the blink?

Well ... "failing" probably isn't the right word here. Perhaps these schools are doing exactly what they were designed to do. I've said on the air how much I would like for all Americans to become aware of at least two things. One, this country is not, nor was it ever designed to be a democracy. Two, our government schools were not designed to really educate our children. I know you're not going to believe me here, and there is scant chance that you're going to take the chance top do the research yourself; but if you do you will find writings and statements from the very people and organizations who developed our system of government education - a system later mimicked by the Soviet Union - making it clear that the true goal behind this education system was not to truly educate children. The goal was to teach our children just enough that they would make good employees for industry and good government subjects. So, when it comes to our government education system, I wouldn't say that it is failing .. In fact, I would say that it is doing exactly what it was meant to do. Just look around you. There is no shortage of citizens who could do anything but work for someone else, and be obedient little Democrat voters. By the way ... these are the people the unions are after with their card check bill.
