One of the most difficult things to do in life is raise a
child. They don’t come with a handbook or owner’s manual, they’ll stick
anything in their mouths and worst of all they are living examples of what you
taught them. There is no excuse for a parent when a child goes bad because
somewhere in his life they either missed the necessary guidance or are the
product of the examples shown by the parent.
This morning I received an article that reflected on longing
for the old days when crime didn’t pay and hard work did, Mothers staid at
home, Husbands were loving and children were polite…etc.
It made me reflect on the ills of today’s society and the
guidance we are getting and giving. Take for example crime doesn’t pay. I’m
still picking Kiwi and shoe laces from my rear end when in my youth I decided
to steal a candy bar from the local drug store. I can still remember that
lesson I learned in life close to 50 years ago and although the corporal
punishment was severe; it was the disappointment I saw in my dad’s face that
engraved an indelible memory. I shared the same respect for doing the right
thing with my children and used corporal punishment when necessary to reinforce
those values.
Yet today we have Judges legislating from the bench instead
of applying the law. It is illegal to enter this country uninvited, use forged
identities, provide shelter and employment to these criminals but we have
municipalities that provide identification, benefits and sanctuary in violation
of the law. We have business interests that make the argument they will be irreparably
harmed by enforcing the law against them that is designed to protect the
citizens of this nation and this nation’s sovereignty and these same frizz head
judges consider this argument as valid. We prosecute and imprison law
enforcement for doing their job and give immunity to the criminals while hiding
their crimes from the jury to insure a politically correct conviction, We want
our children to go to church and then punish them for acknowledging God in their
schools but turn a blind eye to an illegal alien in that same school and
instruct the administrators and teachers to don’t ask and don’t tell.
This will be the legacy we leave for our children if we don’t
take a stand and do the right thing for the right reasons and issues. We need
to show that same disappointment to our government that I saw in my Dad’s eyes
and reflect it at the ballot box.
