Immorality

Have you ever wondered why it is that, less than a century ago, our children were well mannered, respectful, and had morals; yet today, they are the exact opposite? Let's take a moment to ponder all that has happened over the course of the last century. What's the big thing that comes to mind? For me, it's Women's Lib. Ladies, I know that I will offend quite a few of you by saying this, but Women's Lib is the worst thing that has ever happened to this country, indeed, the world.

When women started working outside of the home, and spending more and more time away from their children, this country started going downhill. Television and video games became our babysitters, and daycare centers began teaching our children socialism. I remember when most mothers stayed at home with their children, and we knew that education began at home. We did not leave it to the public school system to teach our children what was right and wrong; when Sunday morning values was something that every child was taught.

There was a time when young men were taught to be men; to grow up and be responsible, productive members of society. Now they are taught to look out for themselves and to succeed at any cost, regardless of who they have to step on to get there. Those that don't learn that lesson learn an equally destructive one: the world owes you everything, and its' okay to let others take care of you. Where are the men in this country??? What happened to a strong work ethic, and taking care of your family? Welfare was NOT designed to allow you to be lazy!!! It is supposed to be a hand up, not a hand out.

Ladies, don't think I forgot about you. Who gave you the right to leave your children's upbringing to the whims of the media and the government? Have any of you actually sat down and watched some of the television programs and video games that you allow to babysit your children? Do you know what they are learning from these shows and games? Unlawfulness, disrespect, and violence are the lessons they are taught, in addition to lying, stealing, cheating, and sexual immorality! For instance, a show that many of us grew up watching and loving is now teaching our children that homosexuality is okay. Why do Burt and Ernie have to be a married gay couple? For years, they were merely roommates, and that was okay. Why change it now???

Our children, our futures are coming home pierced, tattooed, and pregnant. Our daughters are putting "tramp stamps" on their backs, and they think that it is okay, they're just "expressing themselves". No wonder teenage pregnancy is such a rampant problem in this country. And don't get me started on abortion! There was a time that if a young girl was foolish enough to go out and have sex, she had to live with the consequences of her actions. Now, it is perfectly acceptable in our society for that same young girl to murder her unborn child. All that teaches our kids is that there are no consequences. They are free to do whatever they want to do, and we can just erase their mistakes. Where is our morality? Why are we as parents not taking the responsibility to teach our children what is right???

People say that we are progressing. What are we progressing toward?

Take me back to a time when people stood up for what they believed; not because it was popular, but because it was right. I want to go back to a time when people were not afraid to voice their opinions just because those opinions were unpopular. Ladies and gentlemen, I know that I am not the only person in this country who thinks this way. It is time for us to stand up! Stop being as sheep going meekly to the slaughter!! You have a voice, let it be heard!!!

If this post angers people, or causes me to ostracized, GOOD! I'm not trying to make people happy; I'm trying to make people think.

 

Until next time,
