Convince me to run

[NCGOPer_for_Paul]

for Mecklenburg County School Board District 5 next year.

My opponent would be the vice-chair of the Board, a member of the educrat establishment. She's a lawyer, of course, who lives in one of the most wealthy neighborhoods in Charlotte. She one of the worst kind of liberals, a rich one. Someone not willing to part with their own money, but is sure quick to come up with plans to spend yours. She's insulated from the real world, but has no problem ruling from that ivory tower because she knows what's best for everyone.

One of my biggest issues would be taking on the liberal mindset of CMS, and their reluctance to change the status-quo, even though 30% of students drop out, white families have created a cottage industry of private schools in Charlotte (now, this is a GOOD thing, because it proves my point), and schools are not a safe place to sent your child. Yet CMS won't do a damn thing about illegals stealing "education" from the taxpayers, delaying education for American kids because they can't speak English, yet get dumped into classrooms, and gangs terrorizing other schools.

CMS Board members, minus two or three good ones, are more concerned about keeping the Federal funding for school food programs than cleaning up the crime, crap, and clutter. They'd rather the schools be a Federally subsidized restaurant than a place of learning. Where in the U.S. or North Carolina State Constitution is it so deemed that schools are supposed to feed kids rather than teach them?

As for curicculum changes, I'd be all for eliminating "diversity studies" and anything that mentions "global warming" if not part of a science class speaking of the earth over the history of time. I think it's high time we re-institute TWO YEARS of American History and ONE YEAR of economic studies. Let's increase vocational training as well as Information Technology. Our future doesn't depend on knowledge of tribal Africa, but does depend on knowing how things work and knowing what things mean. That means English courses in effective writing. I want our kids to be well-rounded, well-read, and well-spoken. What good is it if a child can tell a tale of woe of the polar bear, but can't conjugate a sentence?

Anyway, I may have the backing of the GOP. Please convince me to do this, or tell me why I shouldn't.

Thanks, y'all.

Convince you to run...

Do you want to be in public office?

Do you want to help out your city?

I personally do not think you should run IF you need to be convinced. I would think about the pros and cons and if you are capable of the campaign AND the job itself and then go from there.

On the illegal issue though, I think we put the blame on the wrong people. Sure ILLEGALS steal our jobs, our education, our tax money and get free aid BUT wouldn't you? If we removed the FREE HAND OUTS then odds are there would be no issue. I think the blame needs to be with our government and not people who take a hand out just as fast as most Americans do in our country day in and day out while living off of the city,state and federal levels.

People love the free aid including ILLEGALS but if we AT LEAST only allow the free hand outs to American citizens then odds are these evil ILLEGALS will come into the country the correct and LEGAL way and be able to get their hand outs the old American way.

run

[Bruno]

Run, Forrest, Run!

By only run if you feel this is a right choice for you and your family and you are able to put your full efforts into it.

[acptulsa]

You're already convinced to run. You're also convinced you'd rather eat glass than sit on the board with those liberal brats (librats?). But, as Douglas Adams pointed out, the best person to put in charge is the person who wants the job the least. So, no, I'll not be giving you an excuse to sit it out.

[CurtisLow]

Just do it!

[porcupine]

Do you have an activist network backing you up or will it be just you?

We need more redneck white trash in small governments. I encourage you to run.

[NCGOPer_for_Paul]

Working on that. As I said, I may have the backing of the local GOP, and the Ron Paul groups in the area.

I'm just considering it. I also have my CFL District Leader duties to consider.

Thank you for that enlightened comment.

Seriously, Kade, what about Ron Paul attracted you to this movement? In reading your comments, you are nowhere close to a paleoconservative, libertarian, or even an anarcho-capitalist. You seem like a far left liberal. Outside of the opposition to the war, where else do you agree with Dr. Paul?

[Primbs]

We have to start some where. School board is a great way to start a political career. However, the liberals will run these campaigns very professionally. But you have the issues on your side.

If you can save enough money to print flyers and have time to spend four to eight hours a day walking door to door or hosting house parties where you can speak to people in the neighborhood then you can run.


Don't expect it to be a cakewalk, but on the other hand it is probably less competitive than running for Congress or for the state legislature.

Your challenge is have enough money or time to talk with enough voters in your district that you think you need to win.

[Joseph Hart]

Run just to bring the ideas out to the public, winning is a bonus :P

[Micah Dardar]

If you see an office that you even think that you may be able to do a better job in, of course you should run. We all have uphill battles. I live in New Orleans. I have over 300,000 people to convince that they can have no further confidence in the government, and as of yet, we don't have a large freedom movement to help me spread the message. I know that there is a judge that is Green Party, but I think everyone else is Democrat. They suck up all the tax money in administration, and our infrastructure is crumbling. But hey, the mayor did put up some big nice signs informing us that they are planning to do projects that never will get done.

I like your style, but you better not attack me again, mofo ;)

I agree with Paul on these things:

Privacy.
Patriot Act.
FISA.
Military Commissions Act.
Jury Nullification
Gambling.
Drugs.
Opposition to domestic surveillance
Opposition to the Federal Reserve.
Letters of Marque and Reprisal.
Severe Limitations of the Executive Branch/Constitutional Guidelines.
Inflation Tax Opposition.
Elimination of the Department of Human Health and Services
Elimination of the Department of Homeland Security.
Non-regulation of the internet (one of the strongest points)
Voting against legislation to catch online "child predators"
Gun Rights
Habeas Corpus support
Opposition to REAL ID
Opposition to the draft/conscription.
End affirmative action.
Opposition to eminent domain.
Opposition to Sodomy Case: Lawrence v Texas
"Polluters as aggressors"
H.R. 3077
Rejection of Universal Healthcare

and others...

I also think the intangibles drove me to him. He is honest, and trustworthy, realistic, and forthcoming. Unlike his followers, he is a man of principle, and someone I would be proud to call my President, if I ever had the honor, even if I disagree with some of the things he stands for..



Now, you intrepid asshole, what do you wish to add? I've brought more liberals to this movement than you have fired neurons. The joke is on the movement, who constantly shit on the liberals who are willing to listen.

[MRoCkEd]

Kade, just curious - what are your biggest disagreements with paul?

[JoshLowry]

Please read the forum guidelines.

You can be a bit more civil with your opinions and not burn bridges at the same time.

[Andrew-Austin]

No one wants to listen to you because your a complete douchebag Kade, thats pretty obvious.

[Mortikhi]

Those too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those that are dumber.

There's your motivation.

[Kade]

Because I respond to insults in kind? I don't get it. The days I'm more civil are the worse days on these forums. Today was a good day. :)

This thread started with more nonsense and liberal bashing, and I responded in kind. Show me where I am unprovoked.

[werdd]

Fighting collectivism with collectivism, brilliant kade.

Everyone harps on you because you are a complete douchebag.

I don't feel that I'm harped on by anyone who can't justify irrational motives to themselves... I don't have a problem with it. They are in essence attacking themselves. But, yes, I suppose being a douchebag is the new consensus. Either way, I'm sorry about the goat porn reference, I hope I didn't offend you, sometimes the wrong people get caught up in this back and forth, and I realize yesterday that you probably didn't deserve the comment.

My apologies.

the school board should be reformed to teach monetary policy.
