You and your spouse sound like incredibly good parents. The cost of college education is very high. It might be difficult for them to earn over $150K to pay for it, but it sounds like you are prepared and will show them “grace” if they cannot quite meet the “law”. God bless you!
Thank you for the alternative site! I bookmarked it as well, because it is just that important of a message.

HMV...That is a great, great letter. Well written.
We have a 20 year old, he’s very conservative, but so are all his friends. I think peers play a huge role in shaping their opinion at that age.
Our son enrolled in a private business U, doing graduate work, and his profs are even picking apart Obama. He thinks it’s hilarious that the Economics prof and the Finance prof are lecturing to the students exactly what Obama’s plans will do to the economy, because the Obama supporters in the class have no defense against their arguments.
I think that in his experience, his profs in his undergrad business major, and now in his grad school experience have been more conservative than liberal. He now wants to discuss tax plans, and economic issues...I’m really glad he decided to go the business school route (he had headed out as a math major)...because he’s had real world examples of business in his classes and it has made him much more aware of the role politics plays on current events, both economical and societal.
How about Beleze sp?
Tell your son to have fun paying back medicare and Social security. That’s right, Hussein doesn’t believe in private ownership of accounts for SS. If your son balks at that, well...I guess you can pray.
I need to do this:
FW: Dad
From: His college student
He believes Obama would be better.
How about...Dear Son,
ROTS OF RUCK...Your mom and I sold our house and have bought a home Far off and Island of Hawaii with a few of our Freeper friends....SEE YA!
OH BY THE WAY THE BILL FOR YOUR EDUCATION IS ON THE TABLE....HAVE YOUR FRIEND OBAMA...HELP YOU WITH THAT!
And after Nazism destroyed Europe and Germany, you could not find a German anywhere who admitted to being a Nazi.
Mark my words...so it will be with socialism and socialists. What is that proverb...”Success has many fathers....”
I said, Welcome to the real world, sweetie....
Haha yeah...my girlfriend just graduated from law school a little over a year ago, worked as a briefing attorney for the court for a year, then went into private practice. She never was left-leaning, but when she saw her paycheck go from the 25% tax bracket to the 33% tax bracket...let's just say she knew how she would be voting for the next 60 years...
Also, I told her to consider that (effectively) 25% of her earnings go to Uncle Sam, so the first 15 minutes of every hour she works for free...well she didnt like that concept much either!
I have three sons ages 26, 21 and 20.
My eldest two were conservative going into collge and remain so. I had concerns about my youngest. He went to college a little more opened minded than my other two. I think he got tired of hearing me voicing my opion about the left. I am proud to say after hearing the idiot voices of the left on the collge campuses he is now firmly seated in his conservative values.....

Grace is a most precious gift that we extend and teach them to as well. What is really incredible is that they both can, and have, shared with their classmates (yes public school) the foundation of communism and the dangers that is creates. And they are also very generous with their time and their money. We are very blessed that the Lord has his hand on their lives, minds, and hearts. God bless you too!

Excellent letter. Another point you could have added is the "Social Security Trust Fund" - which is nothing more thana record of how much money the government has taken in taxes under the pretext of funding Social Security but has frittered away, leaving you son's generation to redeem the government's IOU if Social Security is to pay out to your generation.
The SSTF is actually much bigger than this current financial scandal, by far. When you get to talking about trillions of dollars, you are actually talking about things that are substantial enough to fight wars over; the whole Iraq war hasn't cost a trillion dollars yet. Please God, we won't breakdown of civility and a constitutional crisis over this - but the tendency of ACORN runs exactly in that direction if Obama loses - or indeed if he wins and overplays his (ACORN's) hand.
Wow!! Atleast you still have open communication with your son. If i EVER became a lib, my mother would disown me...seriously!
