My friends Teresa and Carl don’t exactly fit the RSECVV mold. Actually they’re RSCCVV–Red State Catholic Christian Values Voters. They are also homeschoolers, deeply committed to their Catholic faith, and supportive of conservative Republican candidates. In addition to homeschooling her five children, Teresa is a businesswoman. She has owned a bookstore, and she now does marketing for a radio station. Carl is a musician, and he works for a power company. Teresa is pro-life and also concerned about “feminist” issues—the protection of women from abuse and rape. In the past, she’s arranged self-defense classes for women and teenagers in our area. Carl and Teresa’s children have grown up being taught their values, unapologetically. Now their oldest child is an actress living in London, appearing in a major West End production, and living an exciting and chaste life. These folks are not uncultured, not out of the mainstream, and not likely to vote for Democrats who mouth “values platitudes” without meaning. (For example, check out this post by LaShawn Barber about Democrats who want to talk the values talk without walking the values walk.)
