A very large Crack in the Democrat Party Façade

The sick, enabling, co-dependency between the Democrat Party and the teachers unions; two largest are NEA and AFT, has always been the looming cancer eating away at their façade of unity and purpose.  Any political party whose leadership uses their influence as well as their amply padded, publicly funded bank accounts to send their children to high performing private schools while insisting that their electorate not receive a similar opportunity for their children is destined to fail. 

Let’s look at the two current examples:

1.     The newly elected mayor NYCity has gone to war against publicly funded charter schools which have managed to escape the domineering and bad performance standards of the NYCity teachers union.  This fool named de Blasio has decided that his first public action is to deny the successful charter schools access to publicly supported facilities – in effect he is saying only schools with teacher union members get to work in public funded school building.  He doesn’t care about results.  Why would the fool de Blasio take such action?  First answer is simple – he’s stupid.  A clown.  Meaning he is a tool of the teachers union.  But he also is a politician and he is not only out of step with the people of NYCity, he is in direct conflict with the governor of his state, also a Democrat and the president of the United States, also a Democrat and the head of the federal education bureaucracy, also a Democrat. 

2.    But don’t get too smug over the fool de Blasio.  As we about to show, this blatant confusion, contradiction and hypocrisy in the Democrat party runs all the way to the top.  In the state of Louisiana, kids, mostly poor kids and minority kids are given the opportunity to get out of the crappy teacher union schools and go to high performing private schools – just like the fat cats in the party do with their own kids.  Why do they get this chance?  Because Louisiana does not treat tax money to schools as the private domain of the teachers unions, that’s why.  They have this bizarre concept – public funds belong to the public and when it comes to education parents know best – know best what their kids need – where their kids can get the best education – how to evaluate said education – support said education.  Holy smokes, can you imagine such anarchist thinking – parents know best.  Well, the teachers unions sure can’t so they go to Washington with their fancy lobbyists and propaganda (check out the fool Randi Weingarten) and tell Obama and his education head and his attorney general – all Democrats mind you – stop this school choice  business in Louisiana.  Faster than you can say “you gotta be kidding,” Obama, Holder and Duncan all salute while clicking their heels and use the power of the federal government to stop parental school choice in Louisiana. 

This party – this Democrat party – is troubled to the core of its rotten being.  It actually is in a race – can it self destruct before it destroys the country it rules.  As Admiral Mullen pointed out – debt is our nation’s top national security problem. Yes, debt is getting the job done but the most destructive force in America today is the Democrat Party.
