I will bear any burden or absorb any cost to prevent the state from making my child into a slave.
I often argue that we all need to be practical about political issues. But there comes a time for everyone when principles matter too much for compromise. Everyone has to draw a line somewhere and for me, I draw that line in front of my family.
Set all the goals you want Obama, but you cannot have my daughter. You want to take her? Come try.

I can see a lucrative business popping up.
“Pre-med students: we know that 100 hours a year of volunteer work could be the difference between making it into med school or not. Here at Mission of Caring Charities, we have lots of volunteer opportunities. And the best part is that we trust you to take the time when you can to do the work. At the end of the year, we’ll take your word that you’ve done the volunteer work and provide a letter to your college thanking you for a job well done. All we ask is a contribution to our charity in the amount of...”
Mr. Obama's ancestors as well as his political party were the perpetrator's and perpetuators of slavery, so why does this surprise you.
50 hours of mandatory govt service for a 13 year old is virtually an hour every weekend.
