A Homeschooling Grandma: I Must be Crazy!

I homeschooled for for 25 years. I homeschooled my grandson for 5 years after homeschooling both of my sons, K-12. I used My Father's World curriculum with my grandson and recommend it to everyone. I live with my husband of 35 years. Beginning in January 2011, my posts will reflect my retirement. ______________________________________ DISCLAIMER: Don't expect to get perfect spelling, sentence structure, or even be able to follow my train of thought. ______________________________________ Picture of the "King of Oklahoma," the grandson I homeschool who has an imagination that can cause even the cynic to believe.

Fred in '08!

January2

If you knew me very well, you would know I have been for Fred Thompson since before he announced his run for the presidency.  I admit, this is an attempt to sway my friends, family and fellow homeschoolers -or, at least, get them to take a look at Fred.

There are other candidates that have good qualities and positions on some things, but for me, Fred is the man.  Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican (I have voted outside my party for president before), whether you are a Christian or not, please, listen to this video where Fred tells the Iowans exactly what he stands for.  It is not a 15 second sound bite, but by the end of it, I felt like the president that I want had just encouraged me to love and fight for the America that we remember. It is a great speech, that I believe came from his heart and convictions. 
 
I wish I knew how, or if it is possible on HSB to put videos in a post. This is a must watch video:

I would love it if Fred were a Southern Baptist, like me, but I am not voting for a pastor, but a leader of our country.
 
Many Homeschoolers are either for Ron Paul or lately, Huckabee. I am a 20 year homeschooler and if you have not read Spunky’s research on Huckabee and homeschooling, you should. Go here and scroll down to Huckabee and Homeschooling: http://www.spunkyhomeschool.blogspot.com
 
Here is another homeschooler for Fred.  "Why Should Homeschoolers Support Fred?" http://homescooler4fred.blogspot.com/2008/01/why-home-schoolers-should-support-fred.html
 
 
And Ann Coulter has a lot to say about Huckabee, but you need to google it. 
 
Most of us have our pet issues, but don’t vote for a candidate for only one issue, vote for the man that has the character and the grit to stand against the pressure.  The one that’s positions are not created to win a campaign, but are inside of him.
 
Please consider this.  Make your decision with information, not TV ads.

    I love Fred Thompson! He is my man for President. Just curious as to how Christine is standing in judgement of Fred's morals? Especially with many of the questionable choices made by Huckabee as Gov. Huckabee is NOT a true conservative.

    I've blogged for Fred too. I think the Huckster is dangerous for America and homeschoolers. Why? See my blog.

    blessings,

    Thanks, Liz, we will. My husband leans toward Fred, he'll appreciate more links.

    Morality is one issue. I dare say we have rarely, if ever, had a man who has never made a moral mistake in the Whitehouse. (Some, blatant!) I would love a man that was married to his first and only wife, but even Reagan did not meet those requirements.

    I like much about Thompson; however, I think his morals lack. I strongly believe we need a man with morals in the white house.

    Quite honestly, we're having a hard time deciding who to support in this election. Although his homeschooling stand isn't ideal, unless he is for federal regulation (and I don't believe he is) we'll probably vote for Huckabee.

    Have a blessed day,

    Christine
