As a Conservative, I applaund Mrs. Cahill for standing up for the Constitution.

I might have philosophical differences of opinion with her, but her guts and belief in the right of the citizen to stand up to the good old boys club, and teach by example are the foundation of our Nation.

I have been away from the public school system for a while. I left before No Child came in, which if you were in the system actually was becoming inevitable here in California. I have come to believe that for us to ever get a education system that works to educate we may have to scrap everything we have and just start over.

I’m also surprised that this book did not get more press. On the other hand, it makes sense. Had Cahill been a man, perhaps things would be different. This election taught us two things:

1 – Money IS needed to become a politician, or at least an important one. Obama would not be in the White House without $750 million and the propaganda and influence it bought (which he has to pay back now). A “mutt like me?” Still had to be a Harvard, Ivory League (that’s intentional) trained lawyer. Culturally White, but passed for Black. The “educated” White’s dream. MLK’s dream has NOT been achieved yet.

2 – Sexism is alive and well. Hillary and Palin suffered. Don’t like Palin? Fine. But I can’t tell you how much I cringed when someone referred to her as “That Woman!” Female politicians are held to a different standard. It is deplorable.

Anyway, please excuse me and my soapbox. I think this story is great and in the true spirit of what it means to be American. My sincerest HOPE for the future is that we get some real CHANGE in the White House in the way of women and men who represent the best of the nation, trained and raised in a variety of ways without the bonds of Dem/Rep induced class division. People like Cahill, who put the Constitution to the test and discovered that we indeed can find hope in the people of this nation, not a seasonal celebrity who has the right face at the right time.

This book sounds wonderful. I want to buy it for my kids (and me). Thanks so much for blogging about it.
