Never has the selection of a homecoming queen sent so many tears falling so freely.

Her grandfather, Dr. David Campbell of Corsicana, escorted her onto the field and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek as Kristin joined eight other young women in the Homecoming Court to await the results of the vote, cast by the 360-plus members of Aledo High's senior class.

Wonderful. God’s children are not meant to be put in closets to die alone because Barack Obama doesn’t want to bother a Doctor.

This is what makes America a great place.
Never forget that in a DemoKrat's mind, this child should have been aborted.

I’m proud to be a Texan. I see so many decent, conservative young people in my area. This school is typical of the folks here. It gives me hope for the future.
