Stunner in New Orleans…example for all of us.

I grew up in SE Houston and am very familiar with the “boat People “ who were gratefully transplanted there in the late 70’s. They came with no English skills, no friends but an insatiable desire to maximize freedom.

They believed that public education was a gift form God. Even if they had no homework, they still studied and read a great deal. They soon dominated the tops of the honor rolls throughout the greater Houston area.

They have become so successful they now suffer reverse discrimination where top universities limit the enrollment in their freshmen classes.

Now… the unthinkable has happened in New Orleans. A Viet-American has beat a sitting Congressman in Democratic dominated New Orleans.

Congrats to Joseph Cao for his win over Willie Jefferson. Congressman Cao graduated from high school in NW Houston, got a BS in Physics from Baylor and has made life long learning an ambition of his. It has paid off.

He is well respected in the community where he lives and serves. He is a new role model for conservatives and liberals alike. He strips away excuses for other minorities to say they are being held down. If he and Obama can rise to the top…what’s your excuse?
