Fan Mail from my Column on Higher Education
Let’s talk about that Iraq war a second… one that WOULD NOT EXIST if it weren’t for liberals insisting we couldn’t finish the job in 1991 and the perpetuated the problem for 8 years of the Clinton Administration.
I blame liberals for you not understanding that simply because money isn’t spent in one place means that it can/should/would be spent in another.
I blame it on the liberals that you don’t understand that education is funded primarily on **the local level**, not the federal level, and when you take into account that local funding, the spending on education is over TWICE that which is given to the Department of Defense.
I blame it on liberals that you think the solution to unaccountable bureaucrats who have failed students for over 40 years and produced students with declining test scores (start approximately 35 years before Iraq War II was even on the agenda) is to simply give them more money. This is despite the fact that some of the highest funded districts (such as in DC) has the worst students and performance.
I blame it on liberals that you are too illiterate to read that comments should be sent to opinions@dailyillini.com.
I blame it on liberals that despite giving the country every reason to throw the GOP out of office, the alternative is just that bad that the GOP will retain power.
I blame it on liberals that you are too illiterate to read any other point I made in the column, but focused on one and started your childish little rant.
I blame it on liberals that we live in a society where someone who does have the right to vote and is nominally considered an adult can get away with behaving like such a child.
I blame it on liberals that you think the solution to society’s problems is that someone, somewhere owes “victims” money.
I blame it on liberals that you are unable to come up with any real intelligent counterargument to my column.
Lastly, I blame it on liberals that my morning constitutional was unsatisfactory.

Subject: stop blaming everything on liberals
Our higher education system has a lot of problems, and it’s because of the “liberal bias.” You do nothing but blame all of our problems on liberals. Bush has spent one trillion dollars on a war in Iraq that has caused the death of thousands and thousands of people. Instead of spending that money on war, maybe some of it could have been used on education at every level. Blame it on the liberals though. Liberals have been in control of the Whitehouse and both Houses in Congress for the past several years right. All of our countries problems are because of liberals…Wake up.
