I don't regard educational programs as bleeding heart liberalism - I
merely regard the educational system in the United States as
politicized, content-scrubbed and religiously bent beyond any hope of
repair. No amount of money can fix it.

Examples of things I do regard as bleeding heart liberalism:

* "Equal" opportunity (i.e. handicapping white male heterosexual
applicants for jobs, college placement and other benefits).
* Forced desegregation of ethnic groups. Pay to bus these people
around, and pay again for their injuries when these desegregated
schools become a hotbed of violence?
* Attempting to disarm the populace or otherwise restrict personal
freedom of speech and ownership of knowledge or artifacts in any way.
* Any Government-supplied funds for lobby groups such as the gay
movement, environmentalists, "war reparations" for real or imagined
hurts sixty years ago, collectors of antique butterflies or any other
group that should be funded wholly by the private interests that are
the sole beneficiaries. This is no comment on the merit of any one of
these beliefs or activities. It is the idea that I should pay to
further their agenda that is unacceptable.

My life would be much simpler if I was right-wing. The problem is that
I align with libertarians - I want government reduced and pulled out of
peoples' lives - and neither Democrats nor Republicans would ever do
this. Laws are practically never repealed.

To be fair, if a true libertarian ever became President, he wouldn't be
able to achieve anything either; playing the system well enough to
reach the top would make him part of it.

In essence, I want a Wiccan President - "an it harm none, do as thou
wilt". Not very likely, is it?
