Do No Evil – Savings and Loan looter Neil Bush and his family team up with "emperor of the universe" Reverend Moon to use the controversial NCLB law to "strongarm" districts into buying their crappy stuff.
Then the repubs say we MUST judge Obama by the company he keeps. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Yes it is remarkable that such focus is put on something one candidate didn't say, denounced, and further denounced. While at the same time another candidate blatantly actually lies about dodging bullets or another seeks the support of fascists, hate groups, Anti Catholics, and anti- constitutional theocrats. If you ever had any doubt that media was a "tool" (in both senses), well here is proof.
Yes, Radio, there is so much that can be found out about the Bush family all the way back to Senator Bush and the his Steel company in Ohio. Google Senator Prescott Bush and the rest of the family.
There just isn't any guilt in this family, it's all about taking care of themselves!
Interesting article, thanks Radio!
Reminds me of the Clintons. Exact same. Maybe worse...time will tell.
The Bush corruption makes anything even cojectured about the Clintons mere childs play. Bush malfeasance is endemic and multi-generational.

Freedom of Mind is a Cult watch site. Moons involvement in right wing politics should be troubling not only to those who don't subscribe to the movement but to those who do. Moon has claimed he is the new messiah. The rightful emperor of the world. And claimed Jesus was a failure. How does the religious right embrace such a man? They are a coalition that each thinks they are using the other to become dictators of not just the U.S., but the entire world. Once their machinery is in place they will be scratching each others eyes out to be the actual "Fuhrer" of their "new world order".
I guess profit trumps principle for Cons.
If Obama had made money in an enterprise with Wright, then Cons would not have a beef with the relationship. LOL
Don't agree with stipulating a portion of the donation be spent on a specific item however it seems the COW system works...
Ignite! Learning President Ken Leonard said, "We spend most of our time listening - listening to teachers and school districts to better understand what they need to help them succeed in their efforts to enhance classroom instruction. We have designed the COW around the way teachers want to teach and that has made all the difference."
Moreover, pass rates for standardized testing in some school districts using the COWs have increased 20 to 40 percent. For example, after the Science COW was used for one semester at Burnet Elementary in the Midland (Texas) Independent School District, the test scores for Burnet's economically disadvantaged population increased from a 67 percent passing rate in 2005 to 87 percent in 2006. According to Burnet Principal Kellie Ebenstein, those increases are 29 percent higher than similar students in the region.
The president of the company says so!!!
That is lame. There are links to 3 articles that are not put out by the company that claim otherwise further down the thread. Fla. and Texas are ranked 30th and 32nd in education (Out of 50 states). It would be far more objective to hear from a district where the Bush family did not have such obvious influence. Or a state a high rank. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has asserted the ignite cow does not meet NCLB criteria and an investigation is underway. http://citizensforethics.org/node/30099
Here is an editorial from Palm Beach- whose school ordered a few and were not impressed.
http://citizensforethics.org/node/30185
The Tornillo, Texas, Independent School District no longer uses the Ignite programs it purchased several years ago for $43,000.
"I wouldn't advise anyone else to use it," said Supt. Paul Vranish. "Nobody wanted to use it, and the principal who bought it is no longer here."
RFE the religious right has embraced Rev Moon (what a joke) because of the $. Remember follow who benefits and who gets the $ and there you will find most answers. Won't like them but there they are just the same.
What amazes me is Neil is pulling in Russia some of the same crap ola he pulled here.
Time wounds all heels!
RFE hope you're right!
So do I. The Rev. Moon, Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal and Milken and Fugitive Russian mafia kingpin Boris Berezovsky, seem like far more far more questionable company to keep than an ex marine preacher. Will the right wingers denounce these people the the way Obama denounced the the words of Wright?
No. The Rev. Moon has said:
"America is Satanic. America is so Satanic that even hamburgers should be considered evil, because they come from America,'"
"Jesus failed miserably. He died a lonely death. Reverend Moon is the hero that comes and saves pathetic Jesus. Reverend Moon is better than God."
"Americans who continue to maintain their privacy and individualism are foolish people,"
(Cont...)
On May 1, 1997, Moon told a group of followers that "the country that represents Satan's harvest is America." Moon also declared that "Satan created this kind of Hell on Earth," the United States. He again denounced American women as having "inherited the line of prostitutes. American women are even worse because they practice free sex just because they enjoy it."
Lashing out at the United States again, Moon decried American tolerance of homosexuals, whom he likened to "dirty dung-eating dogs." For Americans who "truly love such dogs," Moon said, "they also become like dung-eating dogs and produce that quality of life."
Republicans have no problem allying with this man though.
Bush Sr. Even went to South America with him to celebrate the expansion of his Cult into South America.
Yet conveniently feign outrage because a black minister expresses anger about the way blacks have been treated.
Go figure.
Thieves and hypocrites don't care about any one except themselves and what they can steal.
American Women...."they practice free sex just because they enjoy it.".OMG,enjoy it it,how,why..are they supposed to.Something is wrong in my repub world and i am going to get to the bottom of it.Thats the last moonie straw,women enjoying sex.Where is my wife,,wife,wife...come here wife......
American women enjoying sex!!!
Why those wanton hussies!!!
(An' this comes from a person that said that God gave him permission to bless the womb of every woman with his penis.)
And God-dx,n those Satanic American hamburgers also! Definitely the reason for all the Satanic evil in the world.
What a fruit-cake!
This coming from the self-proclaimed Chosen One who claimed he had to bed the wives of his chosen followers on their wedding nights to `bless` their marriages with eternal holiness and joy.
Oh, but let`s have a ******ing contest about Wright, shall we? LMAO! The kool-aid crowd just kills me.
Of course you're right, RFE. Problem is, getting people to educate themselves, let alone listen in the first place is a daunting task. Some will, most won't, IMO.
It's worse than that--most who don't cannot even conceive of the idea that they can because of a combination of religious brainwashing, the spread of victim mentality, and a president who glorifies ignorance in lieu of science.
Comes a time, though, when people have to take responsibility for their choice to be victims, and ignorant.
I remember tutoring at-risk inner city kids one-on-one in high school algebra, and they excelled when people believed in them and didn't settle for anything less than their best. Every one of them responded positively to the individual attention.
Repeated studies show that small class size is the strongest predictor of success for at-risk kids.
Many figure it out sooner or later, but I think sooner is better.
If you ever get the chance, watch the documentary `Boys Of Baraka`.
The film is about a small group of at-risk youths from Baltimore who are chosen to participate in a special two-year program at a school in Baraka, Kenya. One child, was a failure, the most disruptive child in class, looked like it was only a matter of months before he joined a gang and fixed his destiny of death or jail or both. He had been suspended eight times, just so far that year. His worst scores were in math.
After ONE YEAR in the Baraka school, he came back and scored the highest math score in the State of Maryland. He got a scholarship to a private high school and plans to go to university in CA.
Best documentary I have ever seen, and living proof of what a little individual attention can do for a child.
How many lives have we wasted because too many people would rather spend $ on guns & prisons than teachers and schools.
Is it any wonder they call us infidels?
That's a brilliant post, Lurch, and although you won't see my comment (it's 2 day's late), I wanted to make it anyway.
"Boys of Baraka" is filed away for future viewing.
I wonder how you first found it?
Good wishes always.
I think guns also are important, but for second amendment reasons--not gang-banging. In fact, kids learn discipline and focus from target practice. It also would likely improve the outcome.
And Junior Olympian target shooters are at the range practicing--not in the streets. And most become highly productive citizens as adults.

MORE FAR LEFT EXTREMIST LIBERAL CRAP FROM RADIO PEE EUROPATRASH.
I cant wait until November when McCain gets elected. I will be waiting with great glee to log on to Libscape and see all of you morons crying like little girls.
Ummm, those tears will taste so sweet!!!
Like ya did in the last election little flower? LMAO!!!
little flower? Comical. Last PRESIDENTIAL election? Oh yea, we won. Right? Thought so.
"Oh yea, we won. Right"
I guess that would depend on your definition of "we" and "won"!
If by "we" you mean the American popylation as a whole, and if by "won" you mean positive things were gained. The answer to your question (we won) would be HELL NO!
But stupidity will sometimes go unnoticed by a small percentage of the population forever!
I am trying to figure out what the prize was also.
The prize was 2,000 more dead GIs and another two trillion in long-term costs of Bush`s War.
NoSpineDave`s partying hard.
Dizzy one, everything is someone you label a liberal's fault.
You should be the one explaining why you love such criminals and traitors so much that you defend their nefarious deeds. What do you see as patriotic about the Bush-Moon-Russian Mafia-Saudi Prince partnership? Moon is the force that is largely responsible for the political climate you have bought into.
The facts are well documented. Sticks and Stones...By the way are you old enough to remember life before the dubya fiasco?
Why don't Bush-bots see the 800 lb. gorilla in their room? (Rev. Moon)
Moon is the primary architect of the so called religious right. Who bailed Falwell out of bankruptcy?- Moon. Moon the loon claims he is better than God because he bailed out the failed Jesus. He claims he is the rightful Emperor of the entire world. I guess since world domination is something these clowns all want they work together towards it.
George Bush,Pat Boone ,Ralph Reed...and Rev MOON...on tour...

"By the way are you old enough to remember life before the dubya fiasco?"
Whats ironic is you are one of the most partisan people here, but you slam others for their partisan views. Kind of hypocritical, dont you think?
I am 40, how old are you child?
If you are only 40, this explains your ignorance of the GOP.
"If you are only 40, this explains your ignorance of the GOP."
Its called an education. You know, where you learn about things that happened.....gasp....even before you were born!
SHOCKER!
Seriously, I appreciate your attemt to belittle me, its just kind of hollow when it comes from another one of libscapes little liberal wingnuts.
I gave you a pos..shoot me,i deserve it cause i damn sure didn't mean to.
I guess your conscience made you do the right thing!
"Ummm, those tears will taste so sweet!!!"If ya get off your knees those tears wouldn't be dropping in your mouth.
sorry, just becasue you like to get on your knees and put things in your mouth does not mean everyone else does.
Please quit projecting your self image onto me.
Not even close little guy.
ouch, you called me little guy.....if I am little, I would hate to see whats big little GIRL.
NSD, what a foolish gloating post -- and there's nothing to gloat over, nothing at all.
