There is a place and time for everything. I would not be surprised if we get another black president in our lifetime, except that this one will be much more sensible than Obama and will hail from the GOP.

Someone could create a website that could fill in the gaps.... that would be interesting. Just a short reading assignment, a few questions and audio/video and some “links to explore”. Maybe just one day one hour every week.

Saturday School I guess.

Now I got myself thinking. I bet there’s a homeschool forum with a lot of people who could get er done. Of course the site would mainly be for the public school kids. It would definitely be a project.

Government has tried to erase the consequences of foolish actions. In doing so they have assured themselves of obtaining the fool’s vote. It’s working VERY well.

Before we can get another we must have the first. Obama is not black, he claims a white mother and his father may have been more Arab than black. I went to segregated public schools in South Carolina and we had at least one schoolmate who had far darker skin than Obama does but he was accepted as Caucasian.

A Republican in King Obama’s court; J.C. Watts celebrates too
January 20, 2009 | 3:58 am

The Times’ Michelle Maltais caught up with a real, live Republican on Monday night at the celebration of President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration today in Washington.

J.C. Watts, a former Republican congressman from Oklahoma, tells Michelle candidly that on Nov. 4 “the earth moved” with the election of Obama.

The future is hard to predict, he says, but the onetime college football star is hopeful that the past Washington tone of each political party being dedicated to the political destruction of the other will have an opportunity to change.

"A voice of reason describes Dr. Sowell perfectly."

I would add 'clarity.' What a treasure that man is.
