You must have been taking lessons from Sam -- it's one of his tactics to throw 500 pages at someone and tell them they prove his point.
If that mass of paper proves that there was something wrong with the program, I truly don't see it. Furthermore I find it amusing that you are saying that the program a) tried to teach left-wing goals but b) failed. Would this not be a good thing in your eyes? Anyway. I see that one of the goals of the program was to combat poverty; is this the left-wing stuff we are talking about? Whoa dude. Just out of curiosity have you ever heard of VISTA? Did you know they used the Alinsky method? Also your assessment of the summary is simplistic at best; a number of factors are analyzed. Probably the most important in my opinion would be the continued requirement for high-stakes testing. Anyway... I am not wasting any more time on this paranoid wet dream of yours. I think you should investigate all of the participants to find out who is a real American, is what I think. And of course you will need a a Committee for this. I suggest you call it the House Committee on Un-American Activities. You could subpoena people and make them testify under oath about when they talked to William Ayers. It will be fun :) On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 5:49 PM, Robert Munn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Here is Kurtz' article in WSJ: > > http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122212856075765367.html > > Here is Kurtz's accompanying post in the National Review.
