Another Gingrich-Huckabee Connection
As I'm sure you are aware, next Saturday, September 29, is the kickoff of American Solutions. According to it's website:
"American Solutions for Winning the Future is a new, non-partisan organization built around three goals: to defend America and our allies abroad and defeat our enemies, to strengthen and revitalize America’s core values, and to move the government into the 21st Century. The General Chairman is former Speaker Newt Gingrich."
Now, I was just perusing their website for a list of the workshops being conducted across the country on "opening day". Wouldn't you know it, at 5:30PM, in the great state of New Hampshire, there will be a forum moderated by our own Mike Huckabee entitled "Transforming Education with Art, Music, and Personalized Learning; Transforming Health Care with Wellness and Ownership".
Indeed, Mike Huckabee is the only Presidential candidate from either party that will be an official moderator of an American Solutions workshop.
Come on Newt, stop toying with us and making $30 million challenges. Just endorse Mike already. You know you want to.
Mike’s forum on “Transforming Ed by Art,… etc.” is on target. Consider:
Each individual human being possesses a unique, highly
developed, and sensitive perception of variety. Thus aware, man is endowed with a natural capability for enacting internal mental and external physical selectivity. Quantitative and qualitative choice-making thus lends itself as the superior basis of an active intelligence.
Human is earth’s Choicemaker. His title describes his definitive and typifying characteristic. Recall
that his other features are but vehicles of experience intent on the development of perceptive
awareness and the following acts of decision and choice. Note that the products of man cannot define
him for they are the fruit of the discerning choice-making process and include the cognition of self,
the utility of experience, the development of value-measuring systems and language, and the acculturation of civilization.
The arts and the sciences of man, as with his habits, customs, and traditions, are the creative harvest of his perceptive and selective powers. Creativity, the
creative process, is a choice- making process. His articles, constructs, and commodities, however marvelous to behold, deserve neither awe nor idolatry, for man, not his contrivance, is earth’s own highest expression of the creative process.
Human is earth’s Choicemaker. The sublime and significant act of choosing is, itself, the Archimedean fulcrum upon which man levers and redirects the forces of cause and effect to an elected level of quality and diversity. Further, it orients him toward a
natural environmental opportunity, freedom, and bestows earth’s title, The Choicemaker, on his
singular and plural brow. selah
CHOOSE MIKE HUCKABEE ! ! !
Jim,
Interesting thoughts.
I was lucky enough to go to school in a system that offered band, chorus, drama, and art classes and actually made them available for every student, every year. I was the drama geek, my brother was the band geek. Of course, our high school was all about band. State champions for like 15 of 20 years in a row. I never learned to play an instrument, which I am disappointed about, but drama helped me in learning voice projection and how not to feel scared speaking in front of large audiences…both of which have been a help to me in life. My brother has gone on to the Marine Corps Band, so obviously his middle and high school band experience was a plus.
Thanks for your service, Jim.

He put his eye to the hole. He just managed to spy some people sitting in deckchairs chanting, before a finger came out of nowhere and poked him in the eye. As he staggered back, the people started chanting, “Fourteen, fourteen, fourteen…”
