Its sad that those children are going to be returned to those criminals (i.e. their "parents"). Lets hope they don't drug the kids like they do the women.

Purely anecdotal here, but the Texas women bear a striking resemblance to a lot of the full quiver, home-schooling loons around these parts.

Hmm.

Home schooled students pretty consistently exceed the achievements of children who attend government schools.



You're not familiar with the Christian Reconstructionist, Full Quiver cultists, I take it?  They almost all home school.  I'm not sure very many of them even allow their children to be tested by "big guvmint".  But if they did, I imagine the kids would do really well on mathematics, spelling and Bible memory verses.  They'd get almost all the history questions wrong.  And when it comes to science, they might do just fine until it came down to questions about dinosaurs being herded onto the ark by Noah.

But yeah, most of these kids are smart as whips.  Whip, being one of the operative words.

As you know, I'm not a fan of the nut case holly rollers (Huckabee is an example), but, it seems to me that you are typical of the intolerant lefties who likes to label christians with whom they disagree "cultists."

Second, yes, you do "imagine" at lot of things which simply aren't true. 

Tell me, where did you get the part about "dinosaurs being hered onto the Ark by Noah"?  Never heard that one before. 

I realize that you are offended by those who don't worship at the altar of big government, but, last time I checked, will still have some vestiages of "free excercise," and you may worship big government, but other still may worship a higher authority, even if it offends you.

I got the one about Dinosaurs from the Evangelical Institute for Creation Research and Bob Jones University, both of which eagerly supply "curriculum" to home school cultists.  I did not say all home schoolers were cultists.  I did not say all Evangelicals were cultists.  I referred to home-school, full quiver, Christian Reconstructionist cultists.

If you are not familiar with Christian Reconstructionism, I wouldn't be speaking in defense of it.  Google Christian Reconstructionism and the names Gary North, Rousas Rushdoony, David Chilton and perhaps Texx Mars.  Have fun.  If you read what these people have written and can say you don't believe they are dangerous, crazy or cult-like...then you're not playing with a full deck.
