From the beginning of recorded history, humans have made monumental decisions based upon the needs of their children. Some parents would move far away from the land in which they themselves were born and raised, because they wanted their children to have a better chance in the world.
The Pilgrims, who left England, and many who followed them, came to America both for religious freedom, and a better future for their children. Many may remember the television series based upon Laura Ingalls Wilders’ novel, Little House on The Prairie. It’s the story of a man who moved west so his family would have a better future.
Today, Americans are more active in politics than the Ingalls were, and unlike England which the pilgrims left, we have the right to vote for who our leaders will be. Those would-be leaders have become deft at knowing what buttons to push for our votes. More often than not, these political candidates run on platforms that promise to benefit the children. Come Election Day, millions of citizens vote for the politician who has convinced them that they care the most about their children’s future.
In the mid 1960’s, President Lyndon Johnson signed over 226 different bills of legislation that began what he touted as his “Great Society.” The Welfare Program was among the slew of new programs supposed to benefit only those in poverty who had children. It was a promise to end poverty as we know it, but sixty years later the poverty level in America is higher than it was when he signed the legislation. Along with the destruction of the family, almost 50% of Americans today collect a check from the federal government.
Johnson believed he needed enough Democrats in Congress to write the legislation he wanted to sign into law. To do so, he ran a political advertisement that showed a little girl picking the petals off a daisy. The camera zoomed into the pupil of her eye letting the viewer see a nuclear explosion while you could hear Johnson saying, “These are the stakes—to make a world in which all of God’s children can live, or to go into the dark. We must either love each other, or we must die.” Since that election, politicians have perfected their ability to use children to get elected and to sell to the American voter on the programs they want enacted. As it turned out, it took many Republicans to get the legislation Johnson wanted passed.
In the mid 1980’s, politicians convinced the citizens in state after state that lotteries would supply the needed cash for their education systems. The voters couldn’t resist the campaigns that promised to improve the education of their children. As of today, 44 states are involved in some sort of lottery where a portion of the earnings are used specifically for the education of their children. Unfortunately, the expected jackpot never materialized for the purpose it was intended. Instead we learned that state after state has been caught using the funds for programs other than education. Even if all the money was used as allocated, it would fall substantially short of the promises made to the voters.
Politicians also made the promise that the children would be the big winners if the people just voted to legalize gambling in their states. So in state after state the voters either voted for initiatives or elected officials who passed legislation allowing gambling to be legalized. As of today, 48 states have legalized some form of state sanctioned lottery systems, while 39 have legalized some sort of gambling by machines and video poker in restaurants, bars, or full-fledged casinos operations. Like the lottery, a portion of the profits are supposed to benefit the education system for the children. As with the lottery, the money just never seems to materialize for the purpose for which it was sold to the people.
The politicians and the money-hungry bureaucrats are never at a loss as to where to get more money. They also recognize a sucker when they see one, and the American voters have “sucker” written right on their foreheads. Another scam they sold to the citizens was grabbing the profits from the tobacco industry. They realized they cannot kill the golden goose they wish to fleece, so instead they convinced the voters to raise taxes on tobacco products. As if that wasn’t bad enough, 24 states have now legalized the sales of marijuana in 24 states, with many claiming the taxes will help fund educational programs.
Sadly, just like many of us warned, studies show us that test scores of the students are now lower than students in some 3rd world countries. These same studies show that a record number of children under the age of 16 are now regularly smoking marijuana. For the leftists with the curriculum in the schools, they are pleased because the students and the parents are mostly clueless about the way they have been using the extra money to indoctrinate the children. As usual, the money is used for many things other than true education instead of what they promised the voter. Like all their great plans, this too has backfired, because the children were just a prop used by the politicians to get what they wanted.
Then the children were used again, but this time to pass Obama’s Utopian healthcare system that was supposed to be the envy of the world. So far the ones getting the least out of Obama’s promises are the children as tens of millions of American families are discovering they can no longer afford their healthcare insurance. As of today, fewer families can afford proper healthcare than they could before it was supposedly fixed to help the children. Need I repeat the lie of the century?
“If you like your plan you can keep it.”
It has been a long haul from the 1960’s when politicians started caring so much about children that they convinced the voters to go broke to help the children. Today we can plainly see where this has taken us. Today, schools across the country are pushing for laws like in California, that gives schools complete control over the lives of children, and if parents get in the way, they can be fined, convicted, and locked up. Thanks to Obama’s push for the normalization of homosexuality in schools, today young grade school children are educated to believe, and encouraged to practice homosexuality.
Fow years we have heard from those on the right and the left that we cannot legislate morality. Well I have news for everyone, we legislate morality all the time. It just comes down to who’s morality we are legislating. A simple stop sign is a law that promotes morality. Take away morality from society and we become nothing more than savages.
Back in the 1970’s, the states legislated that schools will teach sex education, eventually they legislated it to be taught to grade school children. Thanks to the left getting Christian values banned in schools, we now have a perverted morality that has been legislated into the brains of the children while they attended public school. Along with a record number of teen girls who get pregnant, we also have 50% of all teenagers infected with some sort of STD. By the time they get married, less than 5% of Americans are virgins, and over 46% of all marriages today end in divorce.
Still think you cannot legislate morality?
I’ll tell you what, the left knows you can. They just want to be sure it’s their morality instead of the morality of Christians. So they legislated their morality into a system that will train our children into becoming Socialist, hedonistic, sluts, queers, lesbians, and atheistic humans who aren’t even sure if they are male, femal, or even a dog or a cat.
Still think you cannot legislate morality? I think I would rather have the morality of the 50’s when we knew we could. Even if it wasn’t perfect, at least we weren’t living in a fascist state that legislates all the morals of hell into our society. Today children are taught that they can be whatever sex they want to be. Biology be damned. This is what we get from those who claim we need to do everything we can for the children, except allow them to believe in a God who created them to be moral.
Like the children who followed the Pied Piper to their demise, so too have the citizens been continually following the advice of the greedy politicians while never realizing the promises made for the children. I’m reminded of the way the Israelites refused to follow the advice of Caleb and Joshua that the promised land was theirs for the taking if they just trusted the Lord. Instead, the people cried that they were fearful their children would be victimized by the giants of the land. In the end, it was their children who inherited the land while the parents died one-by-one in the desert.
Today I see the citizens continually falling for one promise after another that the future will be bright for their children if they just go for one more scheme. All the while these same politicians continue whittling away at the freedoms we once had as they line their pockets and the pockets of their friends in a system where crony capitalism reigns supreme. Like malignant cancer, the government grows bigger and bigger by the year. Constantly taking more and more money from the citizens who keep falling for the promises that, “it’s all for the children.” In the end, it will be their children who will be the slaves of a system that is broken, thanks in large part to their parents, because they did it all for their children.
If all this does not convince you we need to get back to Christian basics in this country, then maybe the fact that the left is so afraid of losing control of the children that we have an administration that has actively been arresting parents who dare to show up at school board meetings to demand their right to be heard. It has gone so far, that I heard a leftist talking head on MSNBC claim that Trump needs to be eliminated to save the children. Yet they don’t really care about the children. In truth, it is their control of your children they care about. They will be damned if they will allow us to stop them from controlling our children, and now we know how far they will go. The attempted assassination of Donald Trump was a direct response to their rhetoric that Trump needs to be stopped at all cost.
I thank GOD that we finally have a man who truly does care about the children. Yet instead of offering more government plans that will take control of our children, Donald Trump wants to reduce the power the government has over them. For once, we actually have a candidate who truly does care about the children.
