  • What is pathetic is the msm emotional knee jerk "take them out of context every time for political profit" crapola.

    In her statement on Wednesday, Ms. DeVos said that her department had allocated millions of dollars for students with disabilities.

    “Make no mistake: we are focused every day on raising expectations and improving outcomes for infants and toddlers, children and youth with disabilities,” she said.

    But the Special Olympics is a private organization — not a federal program — that raises millions each year, according to her statement. “Given our current budget realities,” she said, “the federal government cannot fund every worthy program, particularly ones that enjoy robust support from private donations.”

    I'd say we should cut the teachers salaries. 5% , that should  hey for a hell of a lot of Special Olympics and whatever the fuck else you guys are going to die without.

    Die without?  What does that even mean?

    Come now you're not as dumb as Woody. A facetious reference to the cut in Special Olympics funding or any other program that could possibly suffer a decrease in funding that the opposition is going to, get ready for it, "die without." 

    Hope this helps.

  • It is a lot of typical Steve's wrapped into one. 

    - Insinuating a "you guys" by  tying posters to some kind of group

    - Putting words/beliefs into other posters' mouths

    - Hyperbole to make his side seem better

    It was only the two of you that weren't able to understand what I said about the hand-wringing over the Special Olympics budget cut. Since it was only you two what is improper about using the term you guys in the situation?

    And why would it be improper to say you guys if it was actually you guys who were hyperventilating over that particular budget cut? Oh wait I understand now. It's typical Woody which is whining about every fucking thing he hears. Okay got it. If Tia wants to join you on this one fair enough.

    So because I have a fundamental issues with the targeting of a wonderful program,  I am hyperventilating and going to 'die without it'...? Quite the ad hominem.

    Not necessarily but you were puzzled my my reference. I think I cleared that up and I'm surprised that you didn't understand. I'm not surprised that Woody pitched a bitch that I use the term you guys because it was in fact you two. I have no real problem with the Special Olympics but it's a private institution after all and it pays its employees a great deal of money whether or not it's nonprofit.

    I have no concern whatsoever if you disagree on federal funding for it.  Just that you should have understood my reference. As simple as that.

    I understood the reference plenty well.  It was just incredibly unwarranted, I was clarifying the need for the alarmist language. If you want to treat Woody with the kid glove adjectives,  you're welcomed to.  I'd appreciate they avoid me.

    And as we have discussed before I do. Just in this particular instance it was only the two of you and the term you guys was not at all inappropriate.

    I guess if you completely understood the reference but were just being facetious you should have typed it in pink. ?

    What do you mean " You guys"

    While fair, I would hardly call the Special Olympics a "pet project".  Given their numbers, the cut does little to nothing in terms of balancing the budget.   Especially given the executive salary raises that far outpace the cost of inflation.

    In short, it looks like a soul-less, greedy move.
