Mitt won last night IMO hands down. I love Newt...but he’s just un-electable. Perry is a sneaky salesman who is totally for amnesty an ilegal immigrants, my #1 concern....he is totally OUT!! If he gets the nomination, I WILL NOT VOTE!!

Younger people now-a-days have gone a few different ways.

A bunch have gone into the global warming frenzy (although that has died out some).

A lot have been duped into the “rich are evil” thinking.

A lot of them feel that we can achieve world peace and want unity throughout the world. They don’t think America is great and really hate when people speak highly of America. ****This was realized by me when talking to a studying history teacher. I asked what kind of history she was planning on studying and she said European or world history. I asked why not American history (I was fine with her decision bc history is important, but I wanted to ask because I really like studying American history and history in general). She answered me that “she’s sick of everyone thinking America is such a great country and has a great history”. That hurt.

Very few think for themselves. It really pains me to say that, but it’s true.

If you have any other questions. Feel free to ask away.

I will say this. If people in our country could just ask two basic questions (at the least, not saying “only” two questions) we would be in better shape. If they would only ask “Why?” and “How?”

For Example. “Let’s extend unemployment benefits!!” You go with your heart (which they do) and “yes that’s great!”. But if they ask “Why?” and “How?” then things become more real (but then we are back to one of my previous points.... they think the rich are evil, so we will just take it from them) It’s a vicious cycle. Hence why I’ve been burdened lately with the outlook of our Great Country.
