"Remember how agonizing it was for the family in Mel Gibson's "The Patriot" to decide what to do? The hotheads were anxious to go to war, but not ol' Mel's character."

The ONLY movie I've seen, in this century,
was "We Were Soldiers"

Why, because I have a lot of admiration
for for the Brothers
who had it rougher than I did in Viet Nam.

And while I appreciate your efforts in
teaching the next generation realize
that the next generation learn from my example,
and how I found a way to serve my country again
and at zero cost to the government.

You see I've managed to be successful
in my profession
(not rich by any means, but successful and pay taxes)
AND make time each and every week
to serve along side, and in many cases,
actually replace active duty personnel.

That's the key to setting an example
of just what a conservative really is.

You really can't teach someone what to do or think.
Just set an example for them and hope they follow.

Please answer my post 174 to you.

Actually I'd like to know what exactly you teach students
so they "think like a conservative should?"

IF you have found a successful curriculum then please post it.

tonk, just want to tell you I have admired you from the first post I read of yours, when in joined in 2004, and you revealed the truth about Jane Fonda and John Kerry to me, as an ex-liberal I had never heard those stories.

Keep up the good fight. And please keep me on your ping list forever or until I go to that great Free Republic in the sky.
