He’s got the face of an innocent angel, the voice of a pre-pubescent Backstreet Boy and a mane that shimmers like heaven’s rising sun. Yet, lusting after him feels like the filthiest of sins.
They graduated from U.S. high schools. They're students at U.S. universities. They're fighting overseas for this country. And they're not allowed to be here.
Brian Amos is certainly right about one thing: Public education in this country is in shambles and is slipping even further year after year. However, in staying with general conservative folly, he attributes the cause of this to “big government” and the always-ambiguous threat of secular education.

Brian Amos’ column shocked me by its blatant disregard of the facts. Ronald Reagan, John Tyler and Herbert Hoover are not first, second or third on the vast majority of scholars’ presidential rankings.
