RedStateVT Proposes New Advocacy Group
Readers may remember that the Liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org was formed during the Clinton Administration. Stuck defending a perverse sex predator, Liberal supporters of Clinton wanted to change the conversation. The best they could come up with was: "let's just move on and stop talking about it." And so, MoveOn.org was born. Unlike the Clinton scandal, there is no, well let's call it "physical evidence," that the allegations against Cain are true. Nonetheless, RedStateVT suggests taking a page from the Liberal playbook and look to move past this issue. We propose the formation of MoveAlong.org. Reader feedback is requested. With enough support, we can get this off the ground.


RedStateVT Watches MSNBC
As a public service to readers, RedStateVT will occasionally watch MSNBC to see how Liberals are spinning the truth. Last week we watched a few minutes of Hardball with Chris Matthews. Here is what we saw. Apparently unable to live down his "leg tingle" for Obama, Matthews has given up any hope of being a serious journalist. In one segment, he asked both a Democrat and Republican commentator the question of which party would take the high road in the upcoming election. He interrupted the Republican response to say words to the effect of: "You guys will probably paint swastikas on pictures of Obama." RedStateVT has been trying to get the exact language from the transcript of the program. Mysteriously, it cannot be found on the Hardball website!


RedStateVT also caught a few minutes of an MSNBC show called: The Mr. Ed Show. Apparently this show is a remake of the old series about a talking horse. Here is what we saw. Mr. Ed played a clip of a frustrated unemployed blue collar worker who called Elizabeth Warren a completely inappropriate name. The title of the segment was: Tea Party Hate. Mind you this was a single individual at a small town hall event in Massachusetts. Why report the story? Because Mr. Ed wanted to deflect attention away from the violence and vandalism committed the day before by numerous members of Occupy Oakland. "A horse is a horse, of course, of course......"


This is MSNBC.


Teachable Moment
Jason Richwine and Andrew Biggs, researchers at the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute, two leading conservative think tanks, argue in a new report that the country's 3.2 million teachers may be overpaid by over 50 percent or more, given their salary, benefits, job security, and intellectual ability.

It is a reflexive Liberal axiom that we need to spend more money on education in this country. It's rare (and nice) to see someone question the conventional wisdom.
