Homeschooling Stereotypes

Homeschoolers seem to be recipients of some pretty cruel stereotypes. What's really sad is the fact that in some cases they are true!!!

The best stereoptypes actually come from homeschoolers themselves. We know when the subject matter is truly rich. These following videos are examples of homeschoolers who understand the value of making fun of themselves.










If you are a homeschooler and feel terribly low, left-out or rejected from society after watching these films, I encourge remedial self esteem courses.

A Much Needed Update

Alright guys, now that is has been over one week since Jonathan did a semi-post, I thought I should make a real one!! Once again it's December, which means that are lives are very hectic with birthdays, Christmas parties and Christmas. Last weekend was the busiest we've had all year. It all started with caroling on Friday night with our church. It was pretty fun, except the fact that no one was home, so we did a lot of walking and getting cold. It was worth it in the end though, because once we got back to the church building there was a lot of cookies and cider.



Saturday was the craziest day. It started in the morning with the premiere of the film Dialtone, which was done by a Christian film group in our area. After that we had a Christmas party at Fort Nisqually for the A/I's. For those of you who are not familiar with Fort Nisqually, it is a living history fort, and A/I stands for apprentice interpreter, which is a program for high schoolers who volunteer and re-enact. The party was fun, we danced, ate pizza, and talked. From Fort Nisqually we all went to Fort Steilacoom who was having their candlelight Christmas tour. It was sweet! Everyone knew how to dance, so we didn't have to waste time learning the dances.



On Sunday we had our Christmas party. After our church services we had a banquet of prime rib and turkey with all the trimmings. During the meal we had a program for families to show their talents. Once we had everything cleaned up, we started dancing. The party was supposed to go until 6:00, but it started snowing pretty hard and everyone left around 4:00. It usually takes us about half an hour to get home, but to due to ice and traffic it took us a whole hour.

Some Political Parodies

The Audacity of Dope

This is an informing video on the chokehold the news media has on the uninformed voter. The media machine must be CRUSHED!!!! Or, you should have to pass an IQ test to vote. People need to do their research before filling their ballot.



I understand that people have done their research and came to the conclusion that Obama was the candidate capable of taking the country in a direction they agreed with. I respect their opinion and am content as long as they did their research. Though I disagree with that decision, I am thankful that I have the freedom to disagree. I am afraid though, that the media is censoring the truth. As my father says, "the fourth estate has become a fifth column." This means that the news media is working behind the scenes to destabilize our government and promote a socialist agenda.

It is time America moved on, quit reveling in the election of the blank screen, and fight for our freedoms! I for one shall pray for our leadership and trust in the sovereignty of God, knowing that He knows the outcome.

8th of November

Today is the 43rd anniversary of Operation Hump, during the Vietnam war. The 173rd airborne brigade was performing a seek and destroy mission, when they ran into a Viet Con regiment. Heavy fighting ensued and there was heavy casualties on both sides. Company C got the full blunt of the attack, while company B was able to flank the Viet Con and force them to retreat. Here is a song that Big and Rich made in memorial of it...
