Politics Should schools teach Critical Race Theory?

Good point.

 

Does it matter in Oregon? Republicans don't win.

 

Wait.. It occurs to me that your definition of anti-science may differ from mine.

Do they "believe in" evolution and climate change? Do they understand the economics of a carbon fee and dividend? Do they support it?

Do they support a woman's right to birth control? Because I know many who don't...

 

Because our state is in SUCH good shape?

Boy, 40 years of Democrat rule have gone SO well.

 

I'm not sure why Republican automatically means fanatical Christian to you.

 

Because most of the Republicans I know are fanatical Christians/Catholics. Most of the republican politicians I know are as well...

That's why I'm asking the questions...

 

I call bullshit.

 

Do you ever wonder why?

 

Because many people don’t understand basic concepts of economics?

 

Thanks for that! My freshman college economics prof started the year off in front of a class say much the same thing!
He also said money is not capital but the chalk you purchased with it, is, so dont steal or bogart the chalk !

 

Also, I have to question Republicans' supposed grasp of economics when their most treasured economic principles, like austerity and supply side economics, fail miserably whenever they try to adhere to them with no Democratic interference (like Kansas, Oklahoma).

The reality is that most mainstream Republican politicians know perfectly well that those principles don't work, they just need reasonable-sounding lingo to avoid explicitly announcing that their economic platform is reducing taxes for the rich as much as possible and cutting social programs for the non-wealthy as savagely as possible. Oddly, that doesn't play well as a message. The fact that Republican voters (the ones who aren't rich) fall for the line isn't very good evidence that they "understand economics."

 

The most important resource any nation has in the modern world is the human capital. The Republican party representatives work against health-care, support for the weak and investment in education are proof that they have no fucking clue about economics.

 

Gee, maybe because we have something like 70k more Democrats moving here every year?

 

I don't know..... do you ever wonder why we don't vote for Republicans when it was a GOP governor who helped implement a lot of things that people love about Oregon?

 

I’m grateful to Republican governor Vic Atiyeh for my retirement every damn day……..

 

Do most current GOP politicians resemble that governor, politically, in your opinion?

I mean, a lot of people liked Colin Powell in the 1990s and early 2000s, but he wouldn't stand a chance in Republican primaries today. Eisenhower was a relatively popular Republican and today's Republican party would ridicule that Eisenhower as a RINO if he were a politician today.

 

Do you think a moderate Republican would even stand a chance in Oregon? You simply aren't winning in this state unless you're a Democrat.
