I grew up a Reagan Republican, just four years older. I was the youngest young republican in Smith County, Texas when Ronald Reagan ran for re-election in '84. He and Miller were cut from the same cloth as the nice old preacher in the country church who'd stand up on Sunday Mornings and tell it like it is- and how it can be. These are men who stopped the world long enough to find that absolute Truth and then, unabashedly let it guide them.

I guess when European post-modernism reached the halls of American academia, we became enlightened to the notion that there is no absolute truth. How enlightening is that? It swiftly became our downfall, but I hope that we as a nation see the error of our ways.

BTW, my husband and I adopted two older children, who are ages 10 and 6. Both are going with me to the local GOP today to volunteer...their suggestion, not mine!
