At a National Education Association's annual convention
General Counsel Bob Chanin
" it is not because we care about children"
group effective is, "not because of our creative ideas, it is not because of the merit of our positions, it is not because we care about children, and it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power."

That is what they really think.

"We are not paranoid, someone really is after us. Why are these conservative and right-wing bastards picking on NEA and its affiliates? I will tell you why: it is the price we pay for success."

So no conservative person is part of the NEA? Well that is probably true.

  • Nea, public unions, private unions, and lib elite( if there is such a thing) are pulling a fast one on the uninformed which includes most of its members.

    I can't wait for the shit to start going down, and start destroying this Marxist statist failed project of the left. We will win you know why, ???  We have the truth and the honor.

    Let that rattle around your empty head for a while. AND YOU KNOW I'm RIGHT!!!!!

  • @SuckyUnion - you are right. socialism/communism can't stand on its own. It is idealistic and does not take into account that people are incentive driven. It has always failed throughout history. And the worker/poor are always poorer. The elite take power and every one is worse off. Just look at history. I would much rather be controlled through incentive through capitalism rather than fear as socialism/comunisem ends up.

  • @SuckyUnion - do you think I don't agree with you? Or are you talking to someone else?

  • Did you listen to the whole thing?

  • @collinsfred75 - yes. Same old rhetoric.

  • This commentary completely misrepresents the sources.

    View the actual videos and think for yourself.

    Look to your right and click on these 2 videos:

    "NEA General Counsel Bob Chanin Says Farewell"

    "NEA & RW BASTARDS"

    My advice to bfrance2002: Your complete failure to accurately paraphrase these betrays your severe bias. Try taking a month off from your steady diet of Fox "News" propaganda.

    Listen to something that doesn't conform to your beliefs for a change.

  • @markmpm - I always listen. That is how I heard what I quoted. Why did not you try to clear up what he said by telling me what he meant? If I was to argue a point I would bring facts to the table rather than sling stupid phrases around as if that were proof. How do you explain the quote,"it is not because we care about children"? It is time you listen to what your people say.. I make my own mind up after I listen. You already have made up your mind.

  • @urpusherman - I thought of one more thing. Republicans/conservatives ended slavery. Abraham Lincoln was republican. (and a christian.)The slave owners were democrats. (And separatists.) So who is whet now??

    Yes some democratic slave owners tried to wrongly use the bible to try justify slavery. But we are talking about free people now.

  • @luismanuelmorais Ignorant - "Lacking knowledge or awareness in general." If I was ignorant I would not read and quote what people say and just make vague useless statements and name calling as you do rather than showing people where I think they are wrong. Then we could carry on a logical conversation. But I am afraid with you that seems to be imposable. (People like you throw insults around like the insult is some kind of proof of something.)
