The criticism stings because of the risks this lady took to better her children.<br /><br />Lefties just don't get it. They love government and therefore cannot imagine that their most favored institution just plain sucks. Anyone who says that, no matter how obliquely, must be punished. Socialism isn't voluntary, leave us never forget it.<br /><br />but the sitatuion isn't new. As a young man I took a city bus across town so I could stay in the good junior high rather than wind up in the bad junior high after my parents moved. Parents have been gaming this broken system on behalf of their children for generations.<br /><br />Heck I left San Diego California for Arizona primarily because the California schools sucked so badly. They still do and that is certainly part of the motivation for the exodus out of the state by thoughtful, productive people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-56148443631050280212011-09-07T14:55:31.558-04:002011-09-07T14:55:31.558-04:00Did I say in February that what Kasich did today w...Did I say in February that what Kasich did today was constitutionally questionable? Yep.<br /><br />Did I say that I could at least understand if Kasich required her to repay the money owed to the district first? Yep.<br /><br />Did Kasich do that? Nope.<br /><br />So, you're attacking me for an inconsistentcy that doesn't exist.Modernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00096376710345315767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-47591577505498599222011-09-07T14:48:06.682-04:002011-09-07T14:48:06.682-04:00Still, you advocated for some compassion in the fo...Still, you advocated for some compassion in the form of a complete pardon, albeit conditionally.<br /><br />somewhere in the middle, as it were.<br /><br />Todays decision was not a pardon, it was somewhere in the middle.<br /><br />You just like to attack Kasich and will use every opportunity to do so, whether it has merit or not.<br /><br />As far accusing me of projection, I'm not sure what you mean. I do not hate you, Modern. I just think you're mostly wrong. :-)Nick (aka Bytor)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826772166599084105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-78078511117775543952011-09-07T14:36:12.073-04:002011-09-07T14:36:12.073-04:00Read the post, genius.

I did.<br /><br />Did I not say that a condition of such a pardon should be that she repay the money she owes to the school district first? I did. Did Kasich do that? He didn't. If you're going to accuse someone of contradicting themselves, read what they actually said first.<br /><br />Regardless, there were additional facts we learned about the case since I wrote that back in February. Like how she really wasn't close to getting her teaching degree because she had never been admitted to the program and wasn't even enrolled in school.<br /><br />Or how she defrauded the government for housing and heating assistance, too. How she lied about being in the military and being deployed as a tactic to continue her fraud.<br /><br />And then there's the unanimous opinion of the Parole Board... Minor little intervening events like that.<br /><br />Sounds like you're projecting some in that last part... Obsessed much?Modernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00096376710345315767noreply@blogger.com
