The truth rings from the mouth of the innocent.(vanity)

I was talking with my grandchild the other day on the phone and we started to talk about school.

With all the comments over the years and especially this election about schools and the attempt of teachers around the world to influence their students with biased principles and ideals:

I asked,"Have you talked about the election and Obama?

The reply,"Yes, but McCain too"

"So, you have talked about both candidates?"

"Yes we have, and you know what?"

"What?,"I asked.

"I like McCain, he seems like a nice man, but that Obama seems to lie about everything."

Wow, I thought. I went on to see if they had gotten their idea from another source, like their teacher, or their parents. But no, it turns out it was their own opinion.

It is amazing what God gives us as children that we lose once we gain knowledge of the world. And the truth is seen through the eyes of a child. Wouldn't it be great if the rest of the world could see this as they do.

Hope you don't mind, but I had to share.

Glad to hear this.

God bless you both! We have to do all we can to counter the indoctrination children receive. When my 3rd grade son came home and said lots of people in his class would vote for Obama (in their school mock election - he is in Catholic school), I told him that was really horrible, since Obama wants to kill babies, even after they are born. He was shocked and must have been spreading that word around because McCain won their election. Shine a light on the evil!

the first election campaign I remember was reagan vs mondale. I didn’t know anything about the soviet union or tax policy but I knew the Republicans were pro-life and the democrats weren’t, they were for abortion. How could I not be a republican?

That is so true.

My 8yr old says the same thing about Obama. Out of the mouth of babes.

I had a similar experience with my 9 year old son the other day.

I was driving him to football practice, and Mark Levin was on the radio talking about BHO’s tax plan.

My third grader said “When I grow up I’ll be rich, and I wish that all the President’s in my life are Republican because I think it’s wrong for government to take our money”.

I told him he was right. In general (in an ideal world), Republicans want people to keep the money they earn, and the Democrat party wants to take money from people who earn it, and give it to people who don’t.

He replied “Yeah, I bet there are bunches of hobos and they’re all yelling (as he pumps his fist in the air) ‘O-bam-a, O-bam-a’”.

I told him he is wise beyond his years and has a very good understanding of how the world works.

I haven't watched anything more than a few seconds of any of the debates. I heard Obama trying to dodge the blame for the credit crunch. After seeing this guy who played an active role in the failure boldly lying about it I couldn't watch any more. The second time I watched I saw him lying about Ayres when I tuned in. Never mind the endless commercials I've seen from this guy that I know are lies every time I see them.
