Tax Breaks for Homeschoolers. "No, no," says the Lefties
Conservative, Bible-believing, Christians can do no right at this point. Virtually everything done by fundamentalist believers is construed as crazy, ignorant, unenlightened, or part of the vast dominionist conspiracy. (Note: I've always found it humorous that the "experts" concerned about a dominionist conspiracy to take over America are the same people that regularly criticize longstanding Conservative conspiracy theorists. I guess one man's whacko conspiracy theory is another man's objective analysis).
The latest from my blog review is from the odd bunch at MoreTalkThanAction (i.e., Talk2Action). Where they find their contributors exceeds my capacity for estimated fearmongering and hatred. They just have a knack for locating and then parading vitriolic spinmeisters.
This guy is bent out of shape because Mitt Romney is suggesting a tax break for homeschooling families:
Second, he deems a tax break as a reward for abandoning the public schools. I may be mistaken, but aren't these Leftists supposed to be pro-choice? I guess I can choose to kill my unborn child, but I can't choose to educate my child. If I do that, I'm engaged in a war against public education. Hey pal, sometimes being for Christ makes me against something else. If I choose to serve the Lord by providing MY children with a Biblical education, then don't make it about you and your educational system. It's the price you pay for your policies.
Lastly, Romney is right: "I also believe parents who are teaching their kids at home, homeschoolers, deserve a break, and I've asked for a tax credit to help parents in their homes with the cost of being an at-home teacher." We are removing millions of little burdens from an already strained public school system, and it's costing us dearly. But, that's our religious commitment. A little tax break is a nice way of saying, "Thanks, Christians!" After all, it would certainly end the Intelligent Design and gay debate. No more Christians means you can teach evolution and sodomy in every class!
More from the moronic:
Tell you what, you sacrifice for public education by paying twice your taxes. That should take care of things, don't you think? If every Leftist would simply pay twice the tax rate, then all the Christians could simply drop out without missing a beat. What's that? You don't want to pay TWICE? Too bad. I do it all the time.
I suggest these secularists count their blessings and stop provoking the Christian Right. If they start touching Christian education, they're going to have a political war on their hands the likes of which they've never imagined.

"In South Carolina last month, White House hopeful Mitt Romney upped the ante in the Republican war against public education. No doubt playing to the Palmetto State's crucial evangelical primary voters, Romney announced he favored tax breaks for parents who home school their children. For Romney, American parents should not only be encouraged to abandon the public schools; they should be rewarded for it."This is priceless. First, it shows the utter hypocrisy and self-contradiction of the Left. He believes there is a war against public education. Might that be in addition to the war on Christmas that these guys continually claim is non-existent? Or maybe the war on Conservative Christianity? No, there are no wars for us--only for them.

"Far more important, of course, than the cost of tax credits to home schooling parents is the start of an irreversible journey down the path of undermining American public education."So, to this point we've heard abandonment, war, and now undermining public education. I wonder how he really feels? It's funny. I don't recall my wife and I ever discussing abandonment, war, or undermining when we decided to teach our children at home. And, if the end result is an undermining of public education, well, that's not my fault, pal. State-sponsored education ain't in the Constitution; so if there's any undermining going on, it's an undermining of our two most precious commodities: the family, and Christian tradition. Public education undermines the Christian family and the Christian faith. What, pray tell, do you expect devoted Christians to do? Go along so you'll be happy? Not gonna happen, cap'n!
