John Stossel: Threat to Homeschooling

Read his article here.  It is a good one.  From the ruling, “A primary purpose of the educational system is to train schoolchildren in good citizenship, patriotism and loyalty to the state and the nation as a means of protecting the public welfare.”

And I thought it was to give them the basic skills to succeed.   And that as Americans, we could decide for ourselves if we would be patriotic and loyal to the state and nation.

Hmmm - Portman for VP? Maybe

Rob Portman for VP?  Certainly worth looking at.  Novak says that McCain clan is taking a close look.

He has a solid pro-life record.  Here’s more on his record.

Drawbacks to me . . . still no executive experience on the ticket and part of the Bush group that made little effort to control spending or expansion of the government.  Less is more.

Real Hope and Change - the boy wonder

Bobby Jindal was called the boy wonder.  At 25 years old, he was appointed Louisiana Secretary of the Department of Health and Hospitals.  He took the department from bankrupt to surplus in 3 years.  He went on to become the president of the University of Louisiana system and Assistant Secretary of the US department of Health and Human Services.  Later, he was elected to the US House of Representatives.

Now, he is governor of Louisiana.  And he is the real deal.  Watch this man.  He is very popular in Louisiana.  And, he will be a legitimate candidate for President one day.
