We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don`t like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.
We need to steer clear of this poverty of ambition, where people want to drive fancy cars and wear nice clothes and live in nice apartments but don`t want to work hard to accomplish these things. Everyone should try to realize their full potential.
We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible.
