“Old School No More”
Well I guess by now everyone that read my blog can tell I’m NO liberal. I would not remotely describe myself as some neocon either. Rather I think I would label myself as a Common Sense American with conservative values. I was raised in a fairly democratic household. My father and mother were in no way registered with any political party but tended to vote democratic not all but the majority of the time. Those that lived during those times especially the early 60’s and 70’s would probably agree that politically things were much different. My father has since past and I have to say by today’s standards he would have been labeled conservative without a doubt. He was a very level headed intelligent man with very strong moral values and work ethics. To me he was the best man I have ever known and the man that for the most part taught me the values that shaped the way I think. There were as with any boy growing up other men in my life that shaped my beliefs, my late Uncle Scottie who was much like my dad and a great patriot for one, but my father was without doubt the major influence. Now in those days democrats and the party were by my account much different. They would have been what are now referred to as “Old School Democrats”. To me it seems that those old school democrats held many of the same morals and values that republicans did at the time. Certainly they’re views were different on many fronts but the basic values or glue that held the country together like love of country, strong family values, and strong religious values were shared by both parties. To me an old school democrat then is like a left of center republican today. Somewhere along the way that old school Democratic Party was swallowed up save a few lost sheep far and few between and its voice seems forever silenced.
Times change is an understatement and the days in which I grew up have become a lost and long ago part of history that many remember fondly and long for. It was a much slower and simpler time without email, voicemail, cell phones, and all make of gadgetry that stymies the human mind if given the chance. Not only did we go and get ourselves into a great big hurry but the values of many seemed to fade into oblivion only to be replaced by absurdity. Like a reverse metamorphosis if you will. Instead of the ugly worm turning into a beautiful butterfly the opposite has occurred. The old school democrat has turned into the liberal or left wing extremist. Maybe it would be easier to say socialist as this is the tendency that is displayed. Like a great plague of locust they have spewed forth from every crook and cranny to devour the country. Ease up you say…..a little melodramatic of me? I think not. Here are few things that far left and liberals have done for the country.
Prayer and the Pledge of allegiance are now banned in most schools. Books and sexual education classes that not only condone but teach that homosexuality is fine and good have become part of the regular curriculum in our elementary schools. College’s such as Columbia University have banned the R.O.T.C. and military recruiting from the campus as well as allowed special interest groups to nearly riot without reprisal when the Minutemen came to speak yet they invite Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran a known brutal dictator and supplier of weapons to terrorist groups that kill our soldiers in Iraq to speak there. This nice man, as far as liberals are concerned, would wipe Israel off the map if he had the means. Left wingers continue their constant attacks on Christianity & Christmas, the word God on our currency or any government property, the ten commandments on government property, and a general attack on all religions. A certain liberally biased news organization (which 95% of them are) just released such a documentary (and I use the word documentary loosely) criticizing and citing religion as the cause of all the world’s problems. It suggest’ that Christianity and Judaism teach violence and hatred and compares and tries to make us believe they are on the same level as radical Islam. They attack anyone with a shred of conservative values for saying anything not “Politically Correct” while all along regurgitating and hiding behind free speech rhetoric when fellow liberals do the same thing with impunity. Hollywood and the music industry run almost exclusively by liberals constantly heap on mounds of immoral sex, violence, greed, immorality, etc. into movies and music aimed at our children. They glorify crime, adultery, promiscuity, single parenthood, and homosexuality while attacking anything conservative that actually may be wholesome for you or your children to watch or listen to. These are but a few examples and I could go on and on and on.
By now you are saying WOW! This guy says he’s not a neocon but it sure sounds like it. If his folks leaned democratic then how could he turn out to be so conservative? Well it’s pretty simple. Like I said…my folks had old schoolers to look to. USE COMMON SENSE AMERICA! The “Old School Democrat” my folks and yours had is gone. Liberals, far lefties, and socialist are what have filled that old spot and look where we are headed. The break down of the American family and the loss of values our country and constitution was framed upon is going to bring us to our knees quicker than any terrorist.
Here are some facts:
Mind you these are from the 2000 census. Things are worse now.
In the year 2000, there were a total of 105.5 million households (both family and non-family) in the U.S.
Of those family households 34.6 million had children under the age of 18.
28% or 9.6 million family households with children under age 18 were headed by a single parent.
These numbers mean that, in 2000:
More than 1 in 4 families with children under the age of 18 were headed by a single parent.
More than 3 out of 4 single parent families were headed by a Mom.
So what does all this mean? Common sense folks! The American family was always the backbone of this country. Without it were doomed as a nation. Children need guidance from a mom and a dad. Liberals will howl if they see this but it is absolutely the truth. Look, I’m not putting down single parents. Some of them do the best they can do between work and looking after the household and kids but unfortunately many don't. With they're lives so hectic they find it hard to cope and without two parents there's not enough time left forthe kids to instill strong morals, values, and beliefs. More often than not it creates a confused child in need of help and support. With both parents in the household the burden of one is shifted to two and the load is lightened for both. Liberal views have made so many things acceptable. Here is the crust of the biscuit. The liberals and socialist believe that most of society is poor and or stupid or both. They think they need to control your lives because you can’t. They believe the government needs to tell you what to do and when to do it and that big government programs can solve all of societies woes. Never mind the U.S. Constitution of course it just gets in the way. They also believe almost any behavior is fine and that punishment for bad behavior is a violation of rights and to harsh. We should all hug and kiss and make up. BULL HOCKEY! I could go in to liberal judges and the breakdown of law in our society but this one is already long enough. We are a country, a Republic based on freedom and laws. Not one or the other but both. For freedom to prevail we must have laws and those laws have to be applied justly. So where are we? Well hopefully you know by now what liberals and socialist do and what they bring with them to the table. Lots of Baggage! For the old schooler is gone and this is what we are left with. Now I’m not saying some republicans are any better sometimes as they to have they’re drawbacks and corruption is in that house as well. But at least they don’t want to fix someone, give him flowers, and hug him after he takes illegal drugs and an illegal gun and shoots and robs his law abiding innocent neighbor that couldn't protect himself because the liberals took his legal under the constitution gun away and left him instead with a subpoena for looking the wrong way at the guy that was shooting him.
P.S.
Please lord give some COMMON SENSE to AMERICA!
