A Star Is Born (Did the Roe effect sink JoAnne Kloppenburg?) {PRO-LIFE ~ HOME SCHOOL}

This weekend's Tea Party rally in Madison, Wis., drew familiar figures like Sarah Palin and Andrew Breitbart, but perhaps the most interesting speaker was a 14-year-old girl named Tricia Willoughby. Tricia wowed, among others, Rachael Larimore, who writes for Slate.com's ladies blog, XX Factor. [botwt0419] YouTube

"What's impressive is her strong voice, her confidence, and, let's face it, her youth," Larimore writes. "The Tea Party is often seen as being made up entirely of cranky middle-aged people who don't like paying taxes. But here is a smart, engaging young woman speaking with the poise of someone older."

Showing considerably less poise is the bitter, pudgy middle-aged man featured in a YouTube video of the left-wing counterprotest. "Go home, you little brat!" he shouts at the 14-year-old, struggling to make himself heard over his comrades' boos and noisemakers. "Who the f--- are you to lecture me, you little brat?!"

I visited the Geography Fair at the local Christian School last Thursday and was amazed at the knowledge, poise and self assurance as the kids told about their projects.

Oh, these were 1st and 2nd Graders.

When there is love and harmony in the home, kids thrive.

"The Tea Party is often seen as being made up entirely of cranky middle-aged people who don't like paying taxes. "

Versus being made up entirely of cranky middle aged people who pay no taxes, but in fact make a profit off those who do!?

What is with the slanted crap these people churn out?

We need to use this in conservative ads to “out” the true face of liberals. In fact this nitwit should be shown at every opportunity.

Or at least that what Larimore and her liberal media compatriots would have everyone believe.

Lat weekend, while Sarah spoke in Madison, four thousand five hundred homeschoolers from Minnesota were meeting in Duluth with the aim of producing thousands more young people like Tricia Willoughby. This is going on in all fifty states year after year after year . . .

If you have children, isn’t about time that you considered homeschooling?
