Because on a "per-capita" basis minorities have a higher percentage of their population on welfare, that presents our most delicate problem that prevents actual meaningful change: to point out that abuses in the system and to propose change that might actually produce change and improve peoples lives makes you racist!!  So non minorities cower in fear and nothing changes and things just continue the same or get's worse.  It is a vicious cycle of political correctness and destruction!!

I believe NewTobie that this could very well have been a factor.  I talked with one of the higher ups at the Port of Beaumont yesterday and he told me that this would be very beneficial to the PetroChem industry in our area.  Although the funding has not been put in place to start the project, kudos to the President for signing the bill.  Now if he would just sign the Keystone Pipeline bill.

I am sure you will have several birthdays before you get a response if you even do!!

A couple of things.   i wonder if ExxonMobil waited to see what would happen and until the changes at BISD were made before they even announced that they were looking at doing this here in Beaumont.  Could have had a bearing on their decision to expand here.  Also, maybe they are betting that ultimately Keystone will come to area as it is planned to if our esteemed leadership at the federal government will get it's proverbial head out of it's proverbial arse!!!

So the system being broke and excessive abouse is not an issue, the only issue is poeple who are upset that is is broke and the abuses (conservatives)???  Calling names never solves anything and at the end of the day only deepens the divide.  Bad behavior by one group DOES NOT JUSTIFY bad behavior by the other group. 

I have banned myself from responding to a certain poster but in response to your post, one of the great myths being put out by the radical left is that the "truth" of what is really happening is "a myth"!!  Now does everyone on welfare abuse it!  No!!  Do enough abuse it that the system is broke!!!  YES!!!!  That is what is unacceptable and causes hard feelings!!!

They are real compasionate and tolerant group aren't they!!!

Levin does a real good job of blistering Obama on many issues!!!

Obama tries to be all things to all people with his mouth, but his actions tell you where his heart is!!!

Interesting, you only have them winning against the newcomers to the conferece, no wins against the old members, which means that you are predicting no real improvement but more overall wins because the overall competition on the schedule is weaker!!  I would love to see real improvement!  Not sure that it will happen and I can't make a great case for more than 7 wins. I think that we will be competitive, just not sure we have the leadership to get over the hump to the next level.

Let's see:  We will go undefeated, win the conference, earn a berth the NC game and win the NC!!!  Standard stuff!!!  LOL!!!   :D

It has to be a lot like dating an unfaithful person.  Or like dating the best looking person in the school!!  You know that everybody else including your best friend will take a shot at it to see if they could get lucky!!  Very cutthroat business!!!

Recruiting 16 - 18 year old hs kids is a tought business!!

Has AAW posted on the HS Football thread the Baylor committment of Hudson.  I remember seeing the Aggie commitment post for him!!

There is going to have to be a further "cleaining of the house" in key administratve positions and even on the campuses in order to get people in place who's absolute purpose is to educate kids and do things ethically and morally right!!!

I have come to the conclusion that Big Girl is just an Obama Regime left wing radical plant on this board to try attempt to further the radical message of the Bill Ayers/Barack Obama radical program!! 

Although 2 years with the new board will be great, it would be much better to have a 5 year term.  That would be helpful to ensure the culture is changed within the district and the community before open elections would be held again!!

EDIT:  The Obama Admin did not invent the "punish your enemies" philosophy, I am sure it has been around for a very long time and used by both Republican and Democratic Admins.  It has just been pushed to a whole new level by this group.  This is dangerous no matter which party occupies the White House!!

Governments have been spying since the creation of governments.  The issue we have in the present digital and technological age is: what will the government do with all the data it is collecting on its citizens.  There is no doubt that the current Administration has shown a predisposition to try and use government agencies to harrass and punish its opponents!!  That is the problem, not the spying.  If we could trust our own government, then almost no one would oppose the collection of data.  Of course, you will deny/turn a blind eye to the fact that their is a great chance that this data will be misused to persecute and punish those that oppose the current regime!!

No doubt, Biden following Obama will for sure make Obama look good!!!

Steve, you will have a greater chance to stand in your back yard and command for the sun, moon and stars to fall out of the sky and they actually do than you are ever going to be able convince our most beloved poster on this board to see the TRUTH with any amount of facts and common sense!!!

No no no!!!  By this posters own written words in previous posts, she has another savior.  But she never posts much about HIm (only a few posts when it is convenient to respond in that fashion) but she posts obsessively about Obama!!

Well said!!

Steve, do yo know why tens of thousands of minors are walking for weeks mostly unaccompanied from adult supervision to come into this country. Would anyone send there minor kid unaccompanied like this anywhere?  Isn't this just mind boggling and does it make any sense?
