Indefensible.

No.

 

Yes, the federal government is wrongly involved in state and local public schools. That's a discussion for another day.

But the major source of funding for public schools is your property taxes. If you don't know that ...

 

Wow. I wish somebody would have told me that earlier. It could have saved me a lot of time. Although, it all makes sense now.

 

Ahh, another brilliant conservative talking point-screw public schools.

 

Beneficiaries of SCHIP: Children who cannot afford healthcare

Parties potentially burdened by SCHIP: smokers, tobacco companies, insurance companies

This is a great place to draw a line on principle Tony. I assume you were against the originial SCHIP, too, because the principle didn't change -- just the number of kids who would be covered by it.

 

Remember, to tony, only corporations can receive government "handouts."

 

I never said anything about screw public schools. Remember, it's your poster children -- the Frosts' kids -- who are attending the private schools.

 

Facts, facts, facts. They mean nothing. The fact that they were turned down three different times by health insurance companies because of pre-existing conditions? Means nothing.

 

It's obvious that you don't understand principle. Without principle, you can target people like smokers and tobacco companies. Except that eventually others get targetted. And then others. And then even others. And because you didn't defend the first, you'll wonder how it happened when it was your own negligence.

How's that saying go? "First they came for the Jews, but i wasn't a Jew ..."

 

From s-chip to gulags to the holocaust. Connect the dots.

 

What does that have to do with anything? Someone on your side introduced the argument that i was the one saying "screw public schools" when I had said nothing of the sort. I was just pointing that out.
