Michelle Bachmann: "Why do we have a Department of Education?" - Polidicks

[QUOTE=SPESSMEHREN;32139926]Uhh... Ron Paul has said the same exact thing numerous times. And yet there are still people on this very forum who practically worship the guy. So.... would it be news if Ron Paul had said that instead of BaChmann?[/QUOTE] Ron Pual wants to legalize pot and Ron Apul wants to bring America back because Ran Poul would be a good president. Rop Nual 2022 ~This post brought to you by Facepunchers for Ron Paul~

To be honest the US Department of Education is a pile of shit, either reform it, or kill it.

[QUOTE=Penultimate;32140338]I know you probably were intending the rock thing as a hypothetical situation, but I think I'd rather have the rock than her as president. I mean, at least the rock is a rock, and can't hold an opinion either way.[/QUOTE] I guess you could say he would really [i]rock[/i] the White House.

Because schools are bad things

Jesus, I want out of this country

[QUOTE=TropicalV2;32139503]realistically if they wanted to, that is a-okay do you have something against religious freedoms?[/QUOTE] i don't it's just that thinking about stupid people makes me depressed

She has no chance of winning anyways, so I'm not worried about her becoming president.

The thing is is that, even if she (or some other ultra-clusterfucked republican) gets elected into power, and the country goes to shit, they won't sit back and go 'maybe we aren't so good at this', they'll try and do things like blame the gays and those fuckin' pinko commie liberals.

The Federal Education Department does jack shit anyway.

i want to have an opinion, but like, i don't know man i don't really know enough about all this to really start calling people dumb and things like that. So good luck to Bachmann and whatever the fuck she's doing to piss everyone off

God I hope she gets the republican nomination. That way Obama has it in the bag.

[QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;32138504]I have actually ceased to be surprised by the antics of American politics. My expectations for the future of the country, and by generous extension, the world are dropping with every press conference. Even if Obama gets re-elected, it is still just delaying the inevitable, republican clusterfuck of a government.[/QUOTE] Don't you have babbling political idiots in your country too? Or is it just lapdogs?

[QUOTE=lulzbocksV2;32140998]The Federal Education Department does jack shit anyway.[/QUOTE] oh neat i hope you have never had public schooling because you're unappreciative

[QUOTE=ewitwins;32141295]Don't you have babbling political idiots in your country too? Or is it just lapdogs?[/QUOTE] I'm not gonna lie and say that the UK is in a good shape right now, seeing as we have a government no one voted for. But we don't have people who want to abolish national standards for education running for Prime Minister. Cameron's currently policy of cutting public sector funding might not be smart, but it is several leagues more intelligent than this idea.

[QUOTE=Domokun;32140803]She has no chance of winning anyways, so I'm not worried about her becoming president.[/QUOTE] You underestimate American stupidity.

[QUOTE=MeMassiveFag;32138861]Politicians just do this kind of shit to get public image. Fucking they are ran by evil fucking robots I swear to fucking god, a puppet of the overmind.[/QUOTE] Corporations and rich sick fucks are the ones who control the government.

[QUOTE=Noble;32141037]Federal loans for college students?[/QUOTE] He's just pissed that he never qualified for federal loans.

[QUOTE=Fort83;32141551]You know what i think, let her become president, seriously let her. Then when she does everything she said she would, and fucks the entire country even more so than before, the intelligent americans have reason to rise up and eradicate her and every republican off the face of the earth. Thus republicans will cease to exist, same with all the BS they spew. If not elected, republicans will still be alive and keep trying to fuck you over. Might as well get it over with while were still young[/QUOTE] That is both a horrible and fantastic idea at the same time.

[QUOTE=ewitwins;32141684]That is both a horrible and fantastic idea at the same time.[/QUOTE] Often the only way to prove to someone how bad an idea is, is to make it happen, and watch as everything that could go wrong does go wrong. Who knows, maybe it would stir people up enough to finally have some kind of revolution. God knows you need it.

[QUOTE=Sexy Eskimo;32139040]Just make her president already, whats the worst that can happen.[/QUOTE] We might invade Sweden! For your...uhh...economic...and...social...stability...and swedish fish. Hrm.

Swedish fish! They're delicious and fattening they come from SWEDEN The swedeners are trying to KILL OUR CHILDREN

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;32140669]i don't it's just that thinking about stupid people makes me depressed[/QUOTE] i feel you completely bro [QUOTE=Noble;32139889]No, my problems would be more along the lines of not having a federal requirement standard of education that includes required science courses that teach evolution. Stuff like this [url]https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/National_Science_Education_Standards[/url] The idea of allowing places (i.e the bible belt) to make up their own rules of what to teach children, like teaching them out of a bronze age book as if it is proven fact that our world is 6000 years old, and having them grow up with such misinformation and leading our country in the future is worrying. Our education system is already far behind what it should be, this is an idiotic idea to reduce our standards even further. I'm fine with anyone believing whatever load of crap they want to believe, but I'm saying keep it out of public school education.[/QUOTE] what a big post for a pointless reason you didn't mention public school in your original post, you just said that parents shouldn't be allowed to provide religious home schooling to their kids

if this cunt wins im moving to england

[QUOTE=Sparkwire;32138653]I hope she keeps it up so she can guarantee she will never be elected for anything again.[/QUOTE] What did she do that was so bad? She just pointed out that the DoE is unconstitutional and that local communities are what should be in charge of education.

Why need education at all? Hell, who needs jobs. In Bachman's mind people (white Christians) sit in hammocks receiving cold drinks from monkey butlers. Don't need jobs to do that.

[QUOTE=cqbcat;32143626]What did she do that was so bad? She just pointed out that the DoE is unconstitutional and that local communities are what should be in charge of education.[/QUOTE] A long list of things, you can't honestly be unaware of her other actions if you've spent any amount of time in SH.

This woman keeps saying so much stupid shit that I'm beginning to think she's saying it just to get people raging at her.
