thanks for reminding me I forgot that they are deaf to the truth

our leaders are a punch of push overs to scared to hurt anyone's feelings.
 
the real victims are the children of the united states and the taxpayers pocket.
there are different countries for a reason
there are borders for a reason
there are laws for a reason and there are laws that have been changed to appease
 
we cannot house everyone .....that will only lead to the downfall of the freedoms we do have.
 
latin americans are slowly taking back what was once there's cause we are to weak minded to lay the law down abruptly and forcefully.  WEAK LEADERS WEAK LEADERS WEAK LEADERS
THAT GOES FOR BOTH SIDES

I bought a bird feeder.  I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed.  What a beauty of a bird feeder it was, as I filled it lovingly with seed.  Within a week, we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.   But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table and next to the barbeque.  Then came the poop.  It was everywhere:  on the patio tile, the chairs, the table- everywhere.   Then some of the birds turned mean.  They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.  And others birds were boisterous and loud.  They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.   After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore.  So I took down the bird feeder and in three days, the birds were gone.  I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests thy had built all over the patio.  Soon, the back yard was like it used to be....quiet, serene... and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.
 
Now, lets see.....  Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care and free education, and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.  Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands.  Suddenly our taxes went up to pay  for free servies:  small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; Your childs second grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesnt speak English.    Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box;  I have to "press one" to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people are wavings flags other than "ours" are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.
 
Is it time to take down the bird feeder?

Corruption is interesting and when many people see what they feel is corruption, it is great to see the monster fall. 
 
Why were so many people hung up on a jury trial with millions of people being ecstatic at the outcome for a local crime that didn't happen in 49 states? Many felt that Zimmerman was being railroaded and it was great to see the verdict. On the opposite side, many felt that he was guilty of murder and would have jumped with joy with a conviction..... and again, for something that had nothing to do with this most places in this country. 
 
When we see corrupt public officials (or anyone we think is corrupt) being held accountable, it is awesome. Look at the councilman being arrested in Kountze for felony theft a couple of days ago. There were plenty of comments on the various news sites and Facebook and none seemed favorable to the councilman and said how great it was that he was caught. Most of those comments came from communities that are bigger than Kountze and not even in the same county, so why should we even care?
 
What all of these have in common is a vindication of people's feelings. It has nothing to do with Beaumont (as much as many Beaumont people want it to be) but the feeling that corrupt people are actually about to pay the piper. 
 
In my opinion.

and Obama was a community organizer
 
now that Beaumont has started cleaning house.....too bad we can't do that in D.C.

No confusion here...I am not happy with Democrats or Republicans, but Republicans are a whole lot closer to my views than Democrats so that's how I vote.
 
If a Democrat was running for President that was pro-second amendment, pro- small gov, pro-lower taxes, pro-military...I would vote for them.
 
I do like the sir thing...keep it up.  :)

I guess every one of us can say that somebody else on this board is a joke.  Just a matter of your perception, my perception, and that of everyone else.  From my view, as earlier stated, there is nothing funnier than someone believing that the President is doing a decent job of heading up our economic affairs.  But, then again, one shouldn't expect a law degree plus community organizational experience and studying Saul Alinsky to be an adequate background for being the CEO of a country.

You and I both know the answer as do many other people.  To me, its just a very sad day when your political loyalty over rides your common sense and you just pretend these type of situations do not exist.  So many now vote not based on what they think would benefit the country the most but on who promises them the most personally..  If this was posted two years ago, we would get a lot of the "its Bush's fault" responses, but that one (which never was credible) makes one look too silly to use anymore.  I guess the default issue nowadays is that Mr. Obama "cares" more about the common man, the little guy while anyone who opposes him is too wealthy and too out of touch with what the common man is experiening.  I think the common man would very much like a job but we have indoctrinated him to believe and accept that if the government can't provide that job, it will give him an income anyway.

With the amount of undereducated people in our society growing rapidly through graduation every year from our public school system and through immigration (coming from countries who are under educating), you may have "stumbled" on to something!!!

All the board is doing is prolonging the inevitable......
Let your pride go board members.....its not about you.
Never has and never will

I ll take boring for 2 years to right this ship.....
 
Staying out of the news means your doing something right......cause seldom do we hear good news on anything via the NEWS.
 
REMEMBER "EDUCATION" is about the students and the future of our community, state, and country.
 
The examiner may go out of business when the state takes over....

I really don't understand how the school board has any support at this point.  Other than the one or two who have been openly fighting the majority for the last few years, it seems to me that they were either complicit in how we've gotten to this point, or, almost as bad, willfully ignorant.  Either way, wholesale changes should have been demanded by their voters long ago.  I only hope that when the elections are instituted again, serious lessons have been learned.  This has been an embarrassing black eye for the city and an injustice for our kids.

We are simply seeing the problem in allowing Iraq to try to rule itself.  They have three groups of people who dont really like each other.   Doesn't matter how long we stay, when we leave, they will be killing each other again.    I dont see why you guys want to throw a few more billion down that rabbit hole.  

Bomb the hell out of them!

Kinda like we are staying out of enforcing immigration laws in THIS country. However, I do agree with you on "staying out of"....so you (you people) and your kids can fund the "needy" and maybe they can unload those buses full of ILLEGALS at YOUR home....I find that the sympathetic and compassionate are only so in political speech....
 
Alot of the very people you accuse, or say "you go" have done exactly that, ask how many Vets are in this forum that have given extra of themselves....on the other hand....ask how many of you "computer screen liberals" have donated extra tax money, or housed any of the poor little ILLEGAL children showing your TRUE compassion....YOU PEOPLE talk the talk, but will not walk it.
 
To be clear so you can understand....
 
I will stand by MY words as would ANY conservative -
 
I would surely STOP paying taxes that assist in welfare....will YOU pay more to assist it?
 
I would gladly drive the truck to dump the illegals back across the border...will YOU house them?

I am against the fed gov spending on the entitlements...let that fall back to the states .
 
The fed gov is too large to efficiently manage these programs.
 
The smaller the entity, the more effectively they can take care of the problem with actual hands-on solutions.
 
Throwing money at it has shown to be a failure.
 
With that said...will this ever happen...doubtful.

without having the word "black" in there do yall assume its only for whites......ignorant thinking.

Dove- in this day of "fairness and equality" why should any institute of higher learning be coined as a black school or white school, etc. etc. etc.?

Today yes it would be racist but at the time BET HBCU etc was created it was very necessary. As you can see Today nobody cares about naacp black students do not prefer hbcu anymore(at least not as 1st or 2nd options)I forgot BET existed.

Still kinda curious why anyone would want someone teaching their young children when that someone can't even decide what it wants to be.  Strange days indeed!

Just cut a few administrators and they will be near budget

Kinda reminds me of the trends I now see on street corners of kids that play in these expensive select baseball , softball leagues begging for money on the corner so they can go to some distant tourny. If you need money to go you probably shouldnt be playing in that league but if you must go why not mow yards , wash cars something to earn your way. So mom and pop please stop putting your kids on dangerous street corners to beg for money! Sorry a little off subject but this example shows how our kids are being trained!

nothing news worthy in my opinion....
 
theres about to be a lot of cuts at BISD.....black, white, orange, gay, straight.....
