I oppose the use of my tax dollars to fund your religion, Jefferson and Madison did also.

i know you oppose it. but you also said i was lying when i said liberals oppose school choice. so you’re saying two contradictory things.
how about my tax dollars? why can’t i use my own tax dollars to send my kids to the school i think is best? why are my tax dollars forcibly taken from
me and given to schools i would t choose to send my kids to? and much of that money goes to teachers unions, who donate it to democrat political campaigns and to planned parenthood. so it’s unfair for your tax dollars to fund things you don’t like, but ok if my tax dollars go to causes i don’t like.
Jim: liberals oppose school choice.
Pete: no they don’t, you’re lying!
Jim: so you support school choice?
Pete: No!

For the same reason the rest of us can't use our tax dollars as we choose.

Once again the mistress of false equivalence demonstrates a complete lack of comprehension
You only like the Constitution when it fits your desires, perhaps the latest appointees will decide it says what you want.

"I said Vermont has school choice, and by your definition it is a liberal state. If that makes you a liar"
Right, right. If I say "liberals oppose school choice", and you can find a liberal who doesn't oppose school choice, that makes me a liar. So you're also lying if you say "conservatives oppose abortion", because there are some who support abortion. My fault, I sometimes forget how stupid you are. We can't accurately state the general positions the two parties have. Because you don't comprehend it.
"For the same reason the rest of us can't use our tax dollars as we choose."
No no, you are lying! Because there are some places that allow school choice, including the use of tax dollars at religious schools. Liar! In fact, the Supreme Court (Zelman case) specifically upheld this as constitutional. Got any more falsehoods to spew? Do you ever stop making stuff up? Look up the Zelman case, tell me what it said?
Your side just doesn't want those blacks to succeed, any more than they wanted them to escape plantations in the 1800s..
You don't get invited to too many MENSA picnics, do you?

You obviously don't live in Vermont, where paying for school choice is currently under litigation.
The State Board took care to emphasize in its ruling that the order is not setting a precedent. The constitutional principles that govern the appeals are “complicated and not fully settled,” the board wrote, adding later that it could not, “in this context, provide any binding direction to school districts.”
Here's a pretty good lesson about the Southern strategy and how it worked.
