Here is my new sign of hope here in the liberal Virginia-D.C. suburbs:
I have two young black men in my high school age Sunday school class (here in Northern Virginia)—who were adopted by a white couple. These boys have been bigtime Bush bashers. But they were Hillary fans too. And maybe there is a factor here in the sense that their adoptive parents take in all sorts of kids of various backgrounds— including special needs kids.
Last month, the more talkative youth was all pumped up for the Sarah Palin rally down in Richmond (Columbus Day). Obviously, something had impacted them.
Today, the boys asked me who I was voting for. I balked because I try to keep partisanship out of my class. (And we have some pretty liberal folks in our church.) But I finally said, “well, I have problems with McCain... but I have a lot more problems with Obama. So I will be voting for McCain.”
The lads were ecstatic. Young Nick was excited about being close enough to touch Sen. McCain at a recent rally and worked the phone banks for 5 hours yesterday.
Something is going on here in Virginia that the MSM has completely and almost predictably has missed.
…and worked the phone banks for 5 hours
WOW, that’s inspirational. Maybe all isn’t lost on America’s youth. Thanks for that!
“Something is going on here in Virginia that the MSM has completely and almost predictably has missed”.
...I went to both Palin rallies here in Richmond. As was the one in Fairfax, packed to the gills with excitement but even better...fear and anger. Both are very good motivators. The MSM is underestimating Va. Lots les BO stickers here than Gore or Kerry had. BTW, my sister lives in Oakton and her kids went to Oakton HS. Some of the stories she told me about the policies made me sick.
You're being kind. You left out "purposefully". Much the same has been happening here in PA.
Way to go. You are rightly proud of those two young men.
