Here's another facepalm comment and all the evidence I need to remind me why these conservatives are the poison in the American well:
" And why exactly is the State involved in the business of education in the first place? Republicans need to grow a backbone. Eliminate public education entirely, or risk losing votes to the Libertarian Party in 2012. Nowhere’s in the Constitution does it say that the government has the right to put a gun to my head, and fund some other person’s education. I have no kids. I chose not to have kids. Why should I be taxed for others who send their kids to public schools?"
There you have it! All for me, none for you and your smelly kids! (I found this on the comment thread at Progressive Pulse: http://pulse.ncpolicywatch.org/2010/12/07/top-of-the-morning-449/#comments
Why don't conservatives ever read the constitution they claim to revere? In two places in this remarkably short document, the government is mandated to promote the general welfare. If education and health don't constitute the general welfare, what does?
The conservative comment I posted above came from another liberal website, because the conservatives who compulsively post here -- except possibly for Mike D., who's literate and logical at least -- exhibit pure prejudice without the saving grace of grammar.
J.W. Williamson was the founding editor in 1972 of the Appalachian Journal: A Regional Studies Review, which he edited until July of 2000. He has taught college classes in Appalachian history, cultural politics, and literature, and he has lectured widely on the pop-culture history of "Appalachia" in the American consciousness. His books include Interviewing Appalachia, Southern Mountaineers in Silent Films, and Hillbillyland: What the Mountains Did to the Movies and What the Movies Did to the Mountains. He has won the Thomas Wolfe Award given by the Western North Carolina Historical Society, the Laurel Leaves Award given by the Appalachian Consortium, a special Weatherford Award given by Berea College, and the Cratis Williams-James Brown Award given by the Appalachian Studies Association.
The views expressed on WataugaWatch are solely those of J.W. Williamson or individual contributors and are not necessarily shared nor endorsed by the Watauga County Democratic Party nor by any other adults of sound mind in this or any other universe.

Wonder if this is how Williamson looks after the new commissioners were sworn in yesterday.

Glad to see you chose a liberal site. You could not find anything on a conservative one. It does wonders for your legitimacy.
