No, what you need to do is read the information I provided with a logical mind and not the over-emotional defense mechanism of shutting out the truth. Try it.
It is bad enough I did it at all
Why do I need to read the information you provided at all
In a thread about you guys embracing ignorance how does it work out when I have to repeat very simple questions over and over again just to make them understood and I still fail.

I am not really sure that I said that but let me hear you
Sure you did, you suggested that those of us on this thread who were Republican must be actors on behalf of the OP.
No. I never "suggested" that at all.
Really, if you are ignorant of your native tongue this is not the thread to be so vocal in.

Wikipedia has the Dept of Education starting on Oct 17, 1979, That's the end of the Carter admin.
You are a freakin' riot. Just so we are all on the same page here.
Republican: the party of ignorance and greed?
1. Wikipedia is not a source.
2. Not it does not.
3. Your own quoted text debunks you.
Here's what it says about the Dept of Ed
A previous Department of Education was created in 1867
How about we stop right there for a quick sec.
What year do you believe it says there?edit on 25-9-2011 by FallenWun because: (no reason given)

So, in the same retort you state some Reps are good, but not that good. But then you go on to suggest that Dems are better.
If you think one is just as bad as the other, why not start an opposing thread "Democrats: the party of ignorance and greed"?.
Or, just keep backpedaling. That is more fun to watch unfold.
Mainstream implies a generalization ... You may not like it... but mainstream republicans deny science, embrace inequality, they favor the rich over the poor, to the extent that they can justify government assistance for the wealthy but not for the poor. They will say teachers are lazy and don't deserve 60K a year, but CEOs responsible for the downfall of the economy deserve more breaks.
Not all Republicans are the same just as not all Democrats are the same. Ron Paul is a shining example of a republican who is different, but he is also not mainstream.
Whereas mainstream democrats tend to support the environment, support the idea of healthcare for all, they they basically demonstrate a mainstream level on social conscience and compassion for their fellow man as well as a responsibility for the environment.
Also, as corrupt as they are at the top, democrats are not using the Jerry Springer style lowest common denominator tactic that Republicans have employed for the last 10 years.
So, yes, I see a very big fundamental difference.

Great OP!
People don’t want to accept the simple reality that the GOP are negative because OF THE ISSUES THEY SUPPORT!
Of course some democrats are personally bad people but at least they support human-centered policies. AND THAT IS WHAT POLITICS IS ALL ABOUT!
Some people can’t get that simple truth through their very obtuse sculls

yes indeed lets talk about ignorance and greed like:
throwing billions upon billions of dollars at the educational system of america that produce nothing but ignorance
Let's talk about that ignorance right there.
We used to have a top notch education system. What happened to it?
You seem to blame Democrats for spending money on a failing system. So the Democrats throw money at it.
Do you honestly believe the CAUSE of the failure is too much money?
What has the other party been up to?
Firing teachers.
Cutting funding for schools and related after school programs.
Trying to insert imaginary friends into Science books.
No Child Left Behind.
Tell me the problem is too much money so we can really discuss ignorance.
