Deploreables in Government

[BoyNextDoor]

When DeVos was looking for someone to head up the Department’s Student Aid Enforcement Office – the watchdogs who are supposed to protect education consumers from fraud – she chose Julian Schmoke, a former official at DeVry University. If DeVry sounds familiar, you may remember it as the for-profit “college” that the Federal Trade Commission made pay out $100 million for defrauding students. As Consumerist puts it, “In short, the Department of Education has now hired a guy who spent much of a career at a for-profit school busted for fraud… to head the department that helps determine which for-profit schools need to be busted for fraud.

Nobody cares what the left thinks.

There is no left in the US. All the major party candidates are on the right. Even Clinton and Obama trended to the right of your saint, Ronald Reagan.

And a number of them are openly wanting to push the US left...making them the left.

A pol doesn't have to be reciting Marx to be left of where we are...one just has to be pushing toward/supporting the left.

Asking the left what they think of the cleanup in progress of the US educational system is akin to asking Charlie Manson what he thinks of the correctional system.

Robert Mugabe is a hot candidate for most deplorable. Along with Jacob Zuma.

Mugabe has done such a wonderful job in Zimbabwe, it's a wonder Obama didn't make him attorney general when he had the chance. He and his fellow Marxist black nationalists would probably move the US capitol to Detroit...

Remember the withdrawal of Obama’s pick for National Intelligence Council chairman, Charles Freeman, in March 2009? Obama had tapped the former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia for the sensitive post despite abundant conflicts of interests. Freeman had served for four years on the board of the China National Offshore Oil Corporation, a company owned by the Chinese Communist government. The state-owned firm has invested in Sudan and Iran. Freeman also led the Middle East Policy Council, a Washington, D.C.-based group funded by the Saudi government. And he chaired Projects International, a consulting firm that had worked with foreign companies and governments.

By this time in Obama’s first term, former Democratic New Mexico governor Bill Richardson had withdrawn as Commerce Secretary nominee after both liberals and conservatives protested his long record of corruption and incompetence. His political horse-trading with private businesses — campaign donations for infrastructure projects, patronage jobs, and board appointments — was so notorious it had earned him the moniker “Dollar Bill.” It took 33 days before Team Obama threw Richardson and his ethical baggage off the bus. Richardson’s replacement, former GOP senator Judd Gregg, accepted and then quickly withdrew after disagreements over Obama’s massive federal stimulus proposal and Democrats’ politicization of the Census.

Another Beltway barnacle, former Democratic South Dakota senator Tom Daschle, was also forced to withdraw from his nomination as Obama’s Health and Human Services secretary amid a storm of ethical scandal, conflicts of interest, and tax avoidance. That was compounded by Treasury Secretary Geithner’s admission of “tax goofs” involving his failure to pay $43,000 in federal self-employment taxes for four separate years (until, that is, he was tapped for his Obama post). At least five other Treasury staff picks withdrew before the Obama administration had reached the 100-day mark over tax problems, conflicts of interest, bad judgment, and records of lax oversight of industry.

So who knows more about the subject? This would be something like police departments hiring retired criminals, such as Willie Sutton, as consultants.

Racist much? And how much groveling did you have to do to get un-banned?

Which corporations were pushing Obama and Clinton to the left? Please be specific.

The right doesn't believe in education, they believe in hierarchy and social order... ie: totalitarianism.

When was I ever banned? You mean I can get banned for saying black nationalist Marxists would move the US capitol to Detroit... oops, does that now mean I'll be banned TWICE?

Your getting you right and left mixed up again. Here try this... tie a red ribbon around your right wrist as a reminder.

You lack basic reading comprehension skills.

No, I'm not. The right believes in hierarchy. It's the definition of right wing.

Look it up.

Mugabe is about as much a Marxist as Trump is.

Cleanup? Like removing the protections for disabled students, you mean?

 

[Rotadom]

Nobody cares what the left thinks.

Yet you spend hours a day futility arguing with "the left". Not too bright, this one.

 

[BotanyBoy]

Which corporations were pushing Obama and Clinton to the left? Please be specific.

IDK and IDC.

They wanted (allegedly) more government control over the means and markets through wealth re-distribution and regulation. From energy to health care.

What do you call a person who advocate government ownership over the means of production and the distribution of goods and services?

Hint: Not capitalist, liberal or conservative.

The right doesn't believe in education, they believe in hierarchy and social order... ie: totalitarianism.

Yes they do, they just don't believe it's a right.

And no, the right isn't about totalitarianism otherwise they wouldn't be pushing libertarianism/liberalism and the left wouldn't be pushing for socialism which is just totalitarianism in the name of egalitarianism.

As long as it's in the name of equality there is no limit to the totalitarian brutality or solidarity in the violence of the left for there is nothing more righteous in their eyes.

No, I'm not. The right believes in hierarchy. It's the definition of right wing.

Look it up.

It's the over simplified and incomplete definition even by left wing standards.

Which is probably why you're silly enough to think the Soviet Union was a capitalist right wing circle jerk.

 

[BBthrives]

so we are taking policy ideas from HUMORISTS?

Who do you remember as the top three of all time?

Can't think of any? None at all?

Why do you hate black people so much?

Sure are plenty of threads about what the left thinks.
