Politically Involved

If you couldn't tell, I have been very politically minded lately. (hmmm I wonder why?!?! Note the sarcasm.) Anyway, Politics have been a big topic in our house lately. Here are some quotes and topics we have been discussing.

"Like every other form of state directed activity in the Soviet Union, education is conceived as a weapon serving the interests of the communist party, and dedicated to a single objective-the victory of the Soviet System."
~Khruschev

"Give me a child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevist forever."
~ Lenin

"Free education for all children in public schools."
~Tenth plank of the Communist manifesto by Karl Marx

"Could the education system in America be used for similar purposes? Once that system is consolidated into one central source of authority, finance and direction, it is entirely possible... there is absolutely nothing in the Constitution which authorized the Federal government to enter into the field of education."
~ Ezra T. Benson

So, for those of you that like Obama because he wants "universal preschool and college education" rethink weather it is Constitutional or not. And just how much of YOUR power you are willing to give to the Federal government.

I will be listing more soon, I just ran out of time.
