Education=Good, Rick=Bad

Apparently Butt Juice's faith is not very strong and by his words, not up to the scrutiny that something, I dunno, like science, endures and thrives on. If a particular and specific faith is really the word of an all powerful God, then why be scared of going to college. Rick (Butt Juice) incorrectly made the statement that the super awesome Black Prez is a snob for insisting that everyone get a college education. Forget that his mom got that good ol' FREE college education back in the day, a college degree will lead you astray and away from...faith.

Guess what, he's wrong. His numbers do not add up and when journalists requested the data source from his campaign...no answer, crickets. But so what if it college did lead to a life without faith. So what.

So this country will be filled with a population that has (generally) studied everything from science to the arts. Back in the day we used to call that "well rounded." How are we going to compete in the world market(s) with a population of fat, uneducated factory workers (no offense), when countries like India and China have hella cheep labor (which is not good, I'm just sayin') while at the same time churning out armies and armies of college graduates. We fuckin' can't.

"I've got the power." 

We are at a moment in time where a paradigm shift needs to occur in order to survive and thrive into the future. Our grandparent steel workers did build this country and our parents made the vehicles and homes that literally drove this countries prosperity for decades. Obviously (to me) the working one (factory, company) job in a lifetime then retiring to a warm climate on your pension is over. So what to do..."edge-you-me-kate-yo'sef."

Why is it that the dominionist of the GOP (that's you Newt) can declare war on secularism, but absolutely deny American Exceptionalism/Dominionism.

If your faith cannot stand up to the scrutiny of a college education, then perhaps it's not worth having. Do we want a nation of followers, those that believe a 1/3 man, ghost, God combo will physically come from the heavens, to earth, to save a portion of the population. Or do we want a nation of critical thinkers that has been exposed to the world of knowledge and even to...the world.

Do we want the next generation subscribing to the faith of our parents and grandparents, blindly believing that a sky father is watching you (prebirth, your whole life and after you die, for eternity) and that this sky father cares about who you have sex with and how (what a fuckin' perv), that women were born from dust or a man-rib (c'mon now, if your goona make shit up, at least be on the same page) and that my LGBT friends in love cannot get legally married. Or...

Do we want the next generation believing in, gee I dunno...evolution thru natural selection.
