We keep turning the constitution upside down and while liberals agree because it is “their way now” …. how about a wacko conservative gets in and wants to change the standards and curriculum to a radical right wing agenda… THE PEOPLE will not have any recourse because we are abdicating out voice . I don’t think because you are rich like Bush, Gates and all the other elites gives you the right to reform education right out the people;s hands… Education is local not a DC Mandate!

Aside from the fact that the Obama Admin likes it.

The basic difference is, wether you believe in central planning and top down government. Big people (like “neoconservatives” and liberals) tend to believe in it, little people (like libertarians, anarchists and paleoconservatives) don’t.
As we don’t know what will happen in the future, that is a matter of belief. Christianism may demand belief, but not that particular belief in central planning and top down government.
