moral suasion and civility or persuasion builds trust and changes minds, the effrontery of personal insults or constantly attacking/complaining gets tuned out.

You however have a long history of distortions and provocations. Everyone knows your modus operandi.

“Did anyone ask if you supported legalizing marijuana or prostitution”…”Notice he claims I am angry, though I simply made an observation?” ~ ktunstall

Seems to me, FtBendConservative merely was issuing a statement from his own viewpoint. kt, not really understanding why he isn’t allowed that.

Dr. Paul endorsed Mr. Tunstall last year or did “conservative” (sic) / Bobby M. forget?

Bobby, this is not a forum that allows abuse of other bloggers, so I ask that you show the same restraint for others as I am now showing for you.

Food for thought: Monopolies are bad. Conservatives don’t like monopolies. Almost nobody likes monopolies. Yet, FBISD is a monopoly. If you defend FBISD, you are defending a monopoly and therefore you cannot be a conservative.

This Board is a rubber stamp for the administration. Anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves. The flunkies up on the dias merely raise there hands and nod when told to by Dr. J and the rest of the administration.

If we are going to build this thing let’s add in the biggest ferris wheel in the world and a people mover between each school. Then truly, we can have some quiet teachable moments!

If we are so behind everyone else or in danger of falling behind the rest of the state, let’s build science centers just like theirs!

Oh wait- they don’t have science centers they actually teach the children in classrooms with enriching lessons! Ha! What a concept!

Joe you are absolutely correct.
I see FBC can only misdirect.
Notice he claims I am angry, though I simply made an observation?

It is an attempt to hide his predisposition to tax and spend.
A grand prevaricator and master of equivocal language no doubt.

Only in government can you spend beyond your means and continue to thrive. As long as you have the power to plunder, you cannot go broke.

“Now that Superintendent Dr. Timothy Jenney has the green light to pursue his Global Science and Technology Center vision, his next challenge will be to design it within financial parameters set by his school board.
The total capital cost of the center – which is to include a planetarium, giant rotating lobby globe, interactive labs and a “Sci-Max” theater – have been estimated by a district-appointed feasibility committee at $26.4 million, while annual operating costs are estimated at $572,000.”

Dr. Jenney needs to take a 75% pay cut to help fund this.

“Casting aside any past doubts, Fort Bend Independent School District Board trustees unanimously directed Superintendent Dr. Timothy Jenney to move forward with a proposed Global Science and Technology Center.”

Wow. Imagine that. The FBISD school board votes unanimously to reinvent the wheel. I’m totally shocked (and yes I’m being sarcastic.)

Joe name calling is beneath conservatives, we usually leave that to the angry or in your case confused.

In the old days it was said that “patriotism was the last bastion of a scoundrel,” now it seems that “conservative” has been hyjacked by the same scoundrels.

Actually I don’t support more taxes or spending as I am a conservative.
Apparently I did hit a nerve as you seem unable to control your anger.

By: ktunstall

ktunstall — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:41:18 +0000

Yet you support more tax spending? Did anyone ask you if you supported legalizing marijuana or prostitution? Why are you misdirecting? Hitting a nerve as you would say?

Ron Paul is a conservative.
You’re no conservative.

“I’m obviously not referring to the involved and informed my comment was directed to the chronic complainers.”
No I do not support a state income tax, legalizing marijuana or legalizing prostitution, sorry. Guess that makes me a just plain ol’ conservative.

ktunstall — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 15:44:21 +0000

Those who have complained have been involved and are very well informed.

It is quite hypocritical to call yourself a “conservative.” As I recall you have never failed to cheerlead for more taxes and more spending.

Tell me, would you promote a state income tax as well?
