Governor Matt Bevin On Gun Control-Completely debunks their argument
- Thread starter Revmitchell
- Start date
You're a teacher there, I don't blame you for having a problem with Bevin. Both parties but (especially under Big Daddy) there took money out of the teacher' pensions funds and dumped it into the general fund, that's theft.
My point was Bevin always polls poorly and with a personality like that, he's polarizing. Too blunt, too easy to twist his words into saying things like he called school kids weak for having the classes cancelled during the winter. He never said that at all.

Alright, this is a quote from Matt Bevin:
"One thing you almost didn't hear anything about while we had people pretending to be sick when they weren't sick and leaving kids unattended to or in situations that they should not have been in — a little girl was shot, 7 years old, by another kid."
the left-wing media reduces that to "Bevin said it was the teachers' fault the kid got shot."
Blaming Kentucky teachers for a 7-year-old getting shot? What's Bevin thinking?
when it was really a statement that the teachers should nave never had a sick out, their priorities were pensions over students.
And:
"There's no ice going with it or any snow," Bevin said. "I mean, what happens to America? We're getting soft, Terry. We're getting soft."
it's not saying the kids are soft,. seeing as they aren't the ones in a position to cancel classes. But the fart-left media took that quote up and twisted that, too:
'Nitwit' Kentucky governor blames 'soft' kids for school closures during polar vortex

We'll see Nov 5th. Local bookies have the odds in his favor.

Yep we will see. But like I said, I'll probably be writing my own name in on the ballot.
...yea you're really gonna show him a thing or two....

Obviously I don't believe I am going to win.....
It's a matter of principle. If there is no candidate I can vote for in good conscience I always write in my own name.
Well, if you moved here, you could've voted for Jay Inslee. Now see why Bevin looks good to me?
He would be blaming teachers if he tried to claim a teacher shot the kid. It's not such a stupid comment coming from a politician. what I don't like about it is he's reducing schools to day care centers, not a good idea. He has claimed teachers calling in sick would lead to abuse before, so there is an assumption that Bevin thinks schools should be a safe zone or something.
He'd get a pass for much worse if he was a Dem. Still think Andy is Jack Conway 2.0, blasts pharma companies for the ophiod crists, then takes money from them.

To me, if you say the event happened because teachers were not doing something, that is placing blame on the teachers.
I don't judge politician statements different than if they weren't politicians. That's the main problem, we allow for political statements and don't hold them to it. Say what you mean and mean what you say and be accountable for it.
Yes, I agree, he is reducing schools to daycare centers.
Teachers should not be laying out of work
Closing the hospitals after two hundred years caused a crime wave because some people could not cope on their own. We need to reopen our medical hospitals for the sick because prisons cannot treat the sick.

They weren't just laying out of work. They were on strike and protesting because they were going to take their retirement (that they had already paid into) away.
The Georgia prisons have mental health treatment.
If you strike, you strike. You don't call in sick and lie about it. I had to work a lot of 20 hour days because of officers in the department doing that crap. If you are going to strike, unionize and strike. I can't condone the dishonesty in their actions regardless of the reason.
Well, at least he did state up front what he was going to do, that's respectable. (he could've come in the back door and nobody wooda knowed)

Would that shooting incident have been different if the teachers were at work where they were supposed to be?
Most likely.
Are you letting money cloud your judgment? My wife is employed in education. She and most others think they are under paid. I think, and I regularly tell her, that for the product they produce, they are over paid. The amount of tax money spent on public education should deliver a better quality education.
