And this leftist thug wants us to believe that the way to "tank the education system" is to give parents a choice of which school to send their kids (and their money) to.

Gotta hand it to the left, sometimes they come up with brilliant flashes of humor.

You want to tank the education system? Just do what's been done for the last 40-plus years: Make it government-controlled.
Stop with the Leftist thug ****. Seriously. You look like an idiot. Again, this isn't a left vs right issue, unless you're delusional enough to think teacher in Oklahoma are now "Leftist thugs" because they disagree with for profit education.

Also, care the counter why the worst colleges are all for profit and are continuing to fail, be sold etc? DeVry, University of Phoenix, ITT Tech etc.

The public education system tanked years ago.
So now, anything bad that happens to a republican, is because democrats (called socialist indoctrinators by you) are responsible.

Its mean, unjustified and not called for. You have no idea who did this or why. You are making wild assumptions and using it as an excuse to call a whole group of people the nastiest thing you can think of.

It's what they want - America divided. Us vs Them.

No talk of unity or finding common grounds. Just with me or against me

You are so correct. We have seen that so many times from Donald Trump, haven't we ? He says one thing, but does something totally the opposite.

No.

I don't support vandalizing someone's property. I wouldn't do it, I wouldn't raise money to have someone do it and I wouldn't attend a rally where people are talking about doing it.

If it happens though, I'm not going to be outraged or give a rats ass.

Man, c'mon people, don't be such government sycophants just because "your team" is in charge that you get outraged by minor damage to the $40 million vanity toy of someone who used her family's wealth to buy a cabinet position.

I don't even know if this was tied to political motivations at all, or an accident or a random prank or a disgruntled crew member or a pissed off yacht owner...but this mock outrage on a complete non-story is kind of weird.

Oh who cares! So someone’s boat was set adrift. Well that’s a bummer but why are you making this some catastrophic event? Do you really have nothing to fill your time but to rage about someone’s boat being unmoored? Get a grip.

Actually no, you are wrong.

Someone can not condone a behavior yet not feel empathy for someone who is a victim.

I do not condone murder, but was happy to see Osama Bin Laden killed.

The two are mutually exclusive
