Alabama Governor Appoints Conservative Fundamentalist With No Experience to Oversee Public Education

Alabama Governor Appoints Conservative Fundamentalist With No Experience to Oversee Public Education It’s every public educator’s nightmare – and is consistent with the philosophy of a political party that presumes to govern even as it continues to criticize the very institution of government. Republican governor Robert J. Bentley of Alabama has appointed an individual to head the State Board of Education who is about as qualified for the job as a high school biology student is to perform brain surgery. Matthew Brown is 28 years old. A county highway design engineer, he has never attended public school in his...

Is It Possible the Current Governor of Texas is Actually the Craziest Ever?

Governor Greg Abbott of Texas is only the latest in a line of mental defectives to occupy the Lone Star State’s executive mansion – but he’s taking the insanity to a whole new level. Like his predecessors, Rick Perry and George W. Bush, Abbott’s politics and social views are considerably right of center. However, he also apparently suffers from a mental condition the psychiatric profession describes as “schizophrenic psychosis.” A major symptom of this mental disorder is the inability to distinguish reality from illusion. It’s no secret that politicians like Perry and Bush pander to the more fanatical followers...

Yesterday, Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discussed the fact that the GOP is rapidly losing its base. In that discussion, it was also mentioned that Democratic voters are increasingly unhappy with their leaders as well, albeit for different reasons. The effects of this on the 2016 elections aside, it has made one thing abundantly clear: the United States government is losing the consent of the governed.  According to a CNN/ORC poll released on July 26th, only 30% of voters believe that their elected leaders in Washington D.C. actually represent the will of the People. The poll, which is in...

Desperate Rant from Cruz: McConnell same as Reed; They all Hate him

Posted by | Jul 30, 2015 | |

That was Cruz’ lament last week, when he called out Senate Leader Mitch McConnell as being a liar. Why is he surprised? It’s something most voters have been asking for decades: why do politicians who get elected on their promises forget all about them once they’re safely ensconced in their cushy little office suites on Capitol Hill?  Pontificating on the Floor of the Senate, Cruz said: There is a profound disappointment among the American people, because we keep winning elections and then we keep getting leaders who don’t do anything  they promised…2010, the American people showed up in enormous...
