I am glad to hear more encouragement, from a sophomore in high school. My oldest son got started in political discussion, when he was in high school. He is a Reagan conservative, like me.

I was privileged (though I paid for the opportunity) to sit with Jesse Helms and Dan Quayle, when Jesse was running against Harvey Gant, D (Charlotte mayor) for Senate. They spoke the same language as Mr. Pence. There is a great need for a true conservative. There is a greater need for someone to take the helm, and jibe. Hopefully, much of the waste would get knocked overboard.

Mr. Pence seems to be a man with principles. There are few left in DC, and fewer in the Republican Party, it seems. We need someone like him to lead this country back to the future... and we need more Brians in the wings!

Thanks for the post.

Ha. That reminds me of a friend I had in high school, someone I thought was as iconoclastic as myself, with whom I used to talk politics. Saw him suddenly after not seeing him for a while, and he was supporting REAGAN! Egads. That was a shocker. This was back in '76, when Reagan was in danger of getting tagged as one of those kooks that always runs, without any chance of getting in. Dude turned out to be a homo too -- one of the first Log Cabin Republicans, I guess.
