My husband just called me to tell me that Medved's show just started. You can listen live here: http://560wind.townhall.com/ - maybe other places too.

MM said that Ron Paul has finally agreed to be on the show and will be on today.

Medved is a neocon. I always found him rude even when I agreed with him.

Time to take deep breaths and tune in.

If this guys starts raging or doing whatever neocon crazies do, I'm willing to bet Ron Paul will destroy him at the intellectual level. RP isn't someone I've seen resort to emotion when logic and principle fail, and it looks like this Medvel guy is going to start out by appealing to the emotion.

He'd better mind his P's & Q's if he doesn't want to get pwned on his own show.

I've listened to Medved a bit...I think he's the guy who has Thursdays or some day as allowing callers to talk all about conspiracies. It's always interesting, Medved agrees with a few but will not allow any 9/11 calls during that hour.

He tends to focus on Jewish stuff which gets boring and I tend to change the channel when he has those guests on.

It's a charter though, most of the students speak Hebrew so it makes sense to me. We forget sometimes that the founding founders did not overlook the fact that they did not name an official language in the Constitution.

Still, it is not necessary in Eductation. The fact that I have to pay for it. It should not be done. You want a Hebrew school, go to private school. Why don't we just make a charter school that only speaks spanish. It is not necessary, my tax dollars should not be paying for it.

Absolutely, I think that all school should be private to begin with. Because I don't think people who don't have kids should be forced to help pay for other people. But in the system we have now, I think its acceptable to add classes or curriculum that is adapted to fit the needs of the community.

That is absolutely fine. Get a Rabbi and pay him to teach Hebrew in a language elective course. To have and entire school built, ran, and paid for with my tax dollars when it's sole purpose is to teach Hebrew. No thanks. If Boca Raton, or wherever want's their kids to be able to learn Hebrew, get a group together and appeal to the schoolboard to offer it as an elective. A WHOLE school is a big waiste of my money.

Thanks angelatc, I took my lunch hour at the wrong time it looks, so I'll need that MP3.

This school thing is lead up. but ill comment on it.

I think you should be able to have any type of school you want. You should be free to send your kids to "Wicken School" if you like.. but not if its government funded. (I actually think it is absolutely wrong to fund any school with government money.. but in this case, that school needs to go.)

And yes.. MM cant make the argument that Hebrew is not a religious language as much as Latin is, because Latin is also the language of science and philosophy.

'it's always the poor jews, the poor jews are being picked on for this, for that [you know the whole line, i needn't repeat it here... if you don't, ask a jew (go ahead, call me an anti-semite.. i'm not... but go ahead)]. but as soon as the tables turn, well...'

This doesnt look like its going anywhere.....try this. How the free markets could work in education.....:) added to google video two days ago


Stupid In America by 20/20

This is a 20/20 special on education and when you watch it its just crazy.

Watch the video its 40 mins long...This is why you dont ever want Govt in education, it just doesnt work...

20-20 documentary investigation by John Stossel entitled "Stupid in America" highlighting some of the flaws with the education system in ... all » the United States.

The story started out when identical tests were given to high school students in New Jersey and in Belgium. The Belgian kids cleaned the American kids' clocks. The Belgian kids called the American students "stupid", which gave the piece its name.

Jay Greene, author of "Education Myths," points out that "If money were the solution, the problem would already be solved: We've doubled per pupil spending, adjusting for inflation, over the last 30 years, and yet schools aren't better."

Ben Chavis is a former public school principal who now runs an alternative charter school in Oakland, Calif., that spends thousands of dollars less per student than the surrounding public schools. He laughs at the public schools' complaints about money.

"That is the biggest lie in America. They waste money," he said.

To save money, Chavis asks the students to do things like keep the grounds picked up and set up for their own lunch. For gym class, his students often just run laps around the block. All of this means there's more money left over for teaching.

Even though he spends less money per student than the public schools do, Chavis pays his teachers more than what public school teachers earn. His school also thrives because the principal gets involved. Chavis shows up at every classroom and uses gimmicks like small cash payments for perfect attendance.

Since he took over four years ago, his school has gone from being among the worst in Oakland to being the best. His middle school has the highest test scores in the city.

"It's not about the money," he said.

He's confident that even kids who come from broken families and poor families will do well in his school. "Give me the poor kids, and I will outperform the wealthy kids who live in the hills. And we do it," he said. EngEdu

Wait till the Govt gets ahold of the health care system


In the free society envisioned by the founders, schools are held accountable to parents, not federal bureaucrats.

Quote from 2000 debate:

MODERATOR: Should the people of the world look at the United States, Governor, and say, should they fear us, should they welcome our involvement, should they see us as a friend, everybody in the world? How would you project us around the world, as president?

BUSH: Well, I think they ought to look at us as a country that understands freedom where it doesn't matter who you are or how you're raised or where you're from, that you can succeed. I don't think they'll look at us with envy. It really depends upon how our nation conducts itself in foreign policy. If we're an arrogant nation, they'll resent us. If we're a humble nation, but strong, they'll welcome us. And it's -- our nation stands alone right now in the world in terms of power, and that's why we have to be humble. And yet project strength in a way that promotes freedom. So I don't think they ought to look at us in any way other than what we are. We're a freedom-loving nation and if we're an arrogant nation they'll view us that way, but if we're a humble nation they'll respect us.

For the people who don't listen to Medved regularly, he is always very respectful of his guests. Rather than injecting his opinion into every question and rebutting every answer, he tends to conduct fair interviews, even with people who he completely disagrees with.

I wouldn't expect him to be on the air on Tuesday thru Friday about how great Ron Paul is, but at least he can't accuse RP of being afraid to come on the show (which he has been doing for the past 2 weeks).

I agree that Dr. Paul should have been more prepared to answer questions about the NAU. It's one of the biggest issues of our day--especially since it's so "secret." It's something that people need to be aware of, though.

"* NASCO, the North America SuperCorridor Coalition Inc., is a “non-profit organization dedicated to developing the world’s first international, integrated and secure, multi-modal transportation system along the International Mid-Continent Trade and Transportation Corridor to improve both the trade competitiveness and quality of life in North America.” Where does that sentence say anything about the USA? Still, NASCO has received $2.5 million in earmarks from the U.S. Department of Transportation to plan the NAFTA Super Highway as a 10-lane limited-access road (five lanes in each direction) plus passenger and freight rail lines running alongside pipelines laid for oil and natural gas. One glance at the map of the NAFTA Super Highway on the front page of the NASCO website will make clear that the design is to connect Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. into one transportation system."

They played the stupid Iraq War Propaganda twice, didn't hear it for the first two ours of the show- coincedence?

Pretty slanted interview, Medved was crazing to get a chance to jump on Ron Paul- his tone with the NAU showed it- how disrespectful... the way Medved treats conspiracy theorists verse the way Ron Paul deals with them is quite telling. Even with a pretty farfetched question, Ron Paul was very polite.

Medved was being fair until the end. Then he turned into a douchebag. The next caller wanted to give Medved "a hug" for confronting Ron Paul. Medved then said that RP isn't promoting a Republican position on foreign policy. He cited the"saintly" Ronnie Reagan. As though history started in 1980.

The whole point is that the Congress doesn't know about the NAU/SPP. It's a whole secret executive branch thing. This is exactly one of RP's positions. What were the President's of the three countries meeting in Canada for last weekend?

This interview was a big win for RP. Medved was going to talk smack about him regardless of coming on the show. This got him 45 minutes of exposure to, literally, millions of people who are definitely going to vote in the GOP Primary. RP handled himself very well. Those people will go out and research RP for themselves and I'm sure many of them will convert!

Neo-con mindset people are going to have to go through transition within themselves regarding the foreign policy issues (as all of us former neo-cons know). The people who truly believe in the Constitution and Free Market Capitalism will be immediately intrigued by RP's fiscal & monetary policies and many will eventuallly "get over" the foreign policy stance & come to understand, respect, and believe in his stance.

Huge win for RP, time to get some Republicans back that have been inundated by the neo-con pundits.

That was a very nice interview you had with Ron Paul, I heard most of the interview and I was very surprised by how much you seemed to be in agreement with Ron as from your previous comments.

Half of listeners are fence sitters. I despise Hannity, yet listen while im in the car.
These guys get ratings because they piss people off, either for or against.
This is no lose situation.

So overall you think this was "good" for Paul? 2.4m people just got to hear the word.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It was awsome.

I just love listening to someone like Dr. Paul dealing with really hard opposition. It is not nearly as much fun listening to him respond to softball questions. I can't wait to hear him on more of these programs.

I don't think any of the neocon radio hosts are any opposition. They are so used to beating up on liberals, they look weak when they actually have to debate someone who is knowledgeable. This is why Limbaugh doesn't have any guests on that can refute what he says. This is why Hannity talks over people he disagrees with but licks the boots of those who support his position. The real reason they hate Ron Paul is because he is spoiling their party. As long as they were the alleged alternative to "Big Government Liberals", everything was fine. What Ron Paul has done and what libertarians to a much lesser extent have done, have expose these conservatives as another big government faction.

I thought it was a VERY good interview for Dr. Paul. I bet he picks up more than a few supporters.

I just listened to it. I was disappointed in the way Dr. Paul addressed the issue about the NA Union and the NAFTA superhighway. Mainly what I heard him do is hem and haw.

Medved's most recent article is about it and how it's not real. He was getting hammered so much, that he or Townhall took it down off the front page and put up a much older article in its place. It certainly was no accident, because they were told about this about a week ago.

Isn't Rockefellor a member of something like 5 organizations pushing for NAU?? Check out the SPP website....anyone have that link???

As much as this guy walks around in public, I cannot figure out why nobody has "bumped" him off yet.

I dont think he avoided the question, I think he avoided publicly naming names (of the other candidates!) which would probably start some mud-slinging. That is not Dr. Paul's style. Leave that crap to the Dems.

Medved didn't give Ron Paul any time to explain who 'they' are. He cut to commercial and RP was gone after the show returned. Medved made it look like the Congressman had to leave because of other commitments. Then he took this lady caller who makes this blanket statement that RP doesn't express Republican values. Medved then classifies RP's war stance as 'appeasement.' He exhorts Reagan's 'Peace through strength' idea as though Ron Paul doesn't agree with it.

It's interesting how you can take a word like 'strength' and use it to mean exercising military force and imposing your might on other countries. In Reagan's time 'Peace through strenght' was more about showing force, but stopping short of actually using it. Ron Paul doesn't have a problem with having a strong military that's trained and equipped for fighting. He just doesn't agree that we need to be using it to police the world and build nations.

Medved went down a few notches in my book. He was pretty disengenuous, IMO.

I think RP position should be on the NAU is that there is enough information to know there isnt enough information. Why all the secrecy, answer some simple questions and Why isnt the Congress allowed in on this if its nothing. Bush has said its to standardize trading between the three countries but why does Bush himself need to be apart of these talks and why hasn't any of whatever been brought before any oversight body.

From the 21st, the three assholes meet.

This is one of the better explanations of the SPP/NAU


*Action Alert* - Bush, Calderon, Harper met in Montebello Canada August 20-21 with 30 big business leaders to further negotiate the SPP/NAU merger. Call Talk Shows, Write Letters to the Editor protesting this secret meeting. Email this to your friends! This Conservative Roundtable interview of Jerome Corsi by Howard Phillips reveals how behind closed doors, the Bush administration has collaborated with the governments of Mexico and Canada to merge the three nations into one Socialist mega-state: the "North American Union", also known as the "Security and Prosperity Partnership".

Freedom and our Constitution will have no place in this grim Orwellian future. The Dollar will be scrapped for the "Amero". There will be no First Amendment and no limit on the power of government.

One of the prime architects of the NAU, Robert Pastor, has discussed how another 9/11 crisis could be used to force through the merger--in other words, you and even Congress won't even have a voice in the Bush-led surrender of our country--unless we all act NOW to have Congress outlaw any Presidential actions which would lead to such a merger of our nations in any way.

Canadian citizens would lose their independence to their southern neighbors under the NAU - in Canada the scheme is known as Deep Integration. America's former borders would be wide open to drug smuggling and terrorists. Mexico could suffer a catastrophic brain-and-labor-drain as all Mexican citizens by right could move to the U.S. or Canada. Leaders in both major U.S. parties as well as the ruling parties in Mexico and Canada are determined to wipe out your freedom, unless you act now.

Howard Phillips is the Chairman of The Conservative Caucus, America's Constitutional Government action organization. Your assistance is invited.

RP stated in the interview that he was in favor of a "smaller elite military".

I don't care what Medved says about the NAU, I rarely listen to the guy, but when I have, I've heard many people call in and say they agree with him on a lot of things except for his stance on illegals and the NAU. I think even his listeners don't buy into his spin jobs.

This is so funny - I hope it gets read! The NAU is fiction but....

Medved believes in Sasquatch.

I think that RP did well in getting his name and views out there.

I found this posting (http://www.debatepolitics.com/us-elections/23051-ron-paul-michael-medved-program.html) in a Google blog search:



I am listening to Michael Medved interview Ron Paul on the radio as I type this......I have to admit I have gained some respect for him....I learned a couple of things.......One he is Pro Life, I did not know that..Two is he said that he has no interest in running as a 3rd party candidate as he did once before.....

I still am concerned about his position on our military in that he wants to cut it to the bone and to revert back to this countrys position in the 1930s in that he believes in isolanitism.......

Cutting the military in this day and age and isolationism really scares me...


I posted the following response:



First, thank you for considering Ron Paul and hearing him out.

As far as the military funding issue goes, Ron Paul opposes using the troops enforcing UN resolutions (which is what the authorization for use of force in Iraq says) and engaging in military actions with nations that have not attacked the United States. He supports a strong military for national defense. He opposes nation building and policing the world.

He had the following to say about military spending and the war in Iraq (April 6, 2005, before the House of Representatives):



Indeed, we cut the Army Corps of Engineers’ budget and operate on the cheap with our veterans as the expenditures in Iraq skyrocket.

***

Because of the war, fewer dollars are available for real national security and defense of this country. Military spending is up, but the way the money is spent distracts from true national defense and further undermines our credibility around the world.


The whole speech is available at http://www.ronpaullibrary.org/document.php?id=574

Finally, Ron Paul is a veteran. He served in the Air Force as a flight surgeon in the 1960's, and always stands up for the troops, especially veterans (that is probably why he leads the pack among ALL candidates for president in contributions from the troops and veterans).

The most impressive thing about Ron Paul is that he has been married to the same woman for just over 50 years. That says something about a person's character that I don't think even 20 years of consistently principled voting in the House can.

It sounds so Orwellian.

And by the way, you can only have freedom through slavery.
