I feel the need to touch on two subjects today. One on family values. The other on the repeating of history. I apologize if one doesn't exactly flow into the other, but these two things have been on my mind and I feel that I must share my thoughts on them both. So, please bear with me.
Family
As Americans, we sometimes take for granted what we have as a people. Most of today's generation have no clue about what has happened in the history of the world. Most of them are tech-savvies living in the "here and now" hoping that mom and dad's sponsored trust fund doesn't run dry. I guess I can't blame them. We created them. We were the ones who babied them. We were the ones who allowed them to stay indoors and play video games instead of going outside and being active. We were the ones who went and apologetically bowed to the bully's parents for our child becoming their victim instead of teaching our child to knock his/her block off. We were the ones who allowed our government run public school systems to teach our children what they felt they needed to know. I could go on and on, but the point is....it's our fault. We, as providers/Parents/Guardians or whatever you label yourselves, have become complacent in our everyday lives and have become failures to our families. I know. That stings. "Me? A failure? I work very hard so that my family has everything they want." That's just it. It's not about what they want, it's about what they need. Men, I know that you get up early and head to work where you put in a hard day's work in order to supply for your wife and kids. That's admirable, but what both your wife and kids also need is as much of your time that you can give. Your wife needs someone to listen to her while she carries on about stuff that may not mean much to you, but it does to her. Women are love driven creatures. She wants you to find her interesting and to love her. Here's a little secret, women are physically attracted to men who find them interesting and show them affection. Now, that doesn't mean they are attracted to you humping their legs like a sex-starved chiguagua. Try a little tact and be respectful. Also guys, take time to visit and play with your children. Before you know it, they will be grown and won't want to have anything to do with you. I know that some of you say that you can't wait for that to happen so that they will leave you alone, but you will miss them hanging on you, snuggling up with you on the couch, and trying to drag you outside to play. As for you ladies, simply this.....show your man respect. Now I don't mean bow down to him. Most real men resent a weak women. Men are physical and respect driven creatures. Physical in the ways of sex and respect in regards to what they long for. We, as men, want to be the "Hero", the "Champion". We want to be your savior and protector, but we also need your love. It amazes me how some women treat their men with such disrespect and then expect for them to be faithful. News Flash Ladies! If you don't take care of your man at home, he will fill his needs elsewhere....eventually. Same goes for you guys.
With regards to history, our young Americans of today have been taught skewed versions of what truly happened with regards to many great historical events around the world. Many of our youth today have no idea of who Adam and Eve were. They don't know who discovered the Americas. They don't know what the Boston Tea Party or the Revolutionary War was about. They don't have a clue what The Great Depression was or what people had to endure that lived through it. They don't know who we were fighting in WWI and WWII. They can't tell you who FDR is or even what the initials stand for. They don't know what the Cuban Missile Crisis or the Cold War of the 80s were. Some of them actually don't know why we even went to war with Afghanistan/the Taliban/Al Queda. Really?! People, it's time to sit your kids down and give them a history lesson. And I mean the truth no matter how much it pains you to tell it. Our kids need to know the two who began the human race. They need to know who sailed across the Atlantic and discovered what we now call home. They need to know what the Boston Tea Party or the Revolutionary War were and what they were about. They need to hear you tell the about The Great Depression, FDR, and about both world wars. They need to know who we were fighting and why. Talk in depth about Hitler and his extermination of the Jewish race. Talk in depth about Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor which drew us into war with them. And make sure that when you speak about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that you mention America had expended all other avenues toward ending the war, but Japan wished to wipe America off the map. We did what we had to do in order to insure our survival and to end the war. Teach them about the
With that said, let me bring something to your attention. Just a little historical timeline:
1919 - Hitler joins the German Worker's Group (Union)
1920 - Nazi Party Formed
1921 - Hitler named leader of Nazi Party
1929 - The Great German Depression
1930 - Nazi Party gains political control
1933 - Hitler named Chancellor
3 months later, Hitler uses civil unrest to declare martial law and begins detaining and eventually exterminating Jewish members of Germany. You know the rest of the story.....I hope.
Now, let's look at a more recent timeline:
1995 - Barack Obama began consorting with Bill Ayers, a known terrorist responsible for the bombing of several federal buildings in the 1960s.
1996 - Barack Obama slipped into the U.S Senate by devious means with only a political background in Community Organizing (or radical race-bating hate monger). He was endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America organization.
1997 - Obama introduces "Islamic Community Day" bill
2001 - Obama voted on a law which made it unlawful for a homeowner to use a gun to protect his/her home.
2001 - Obama was linked to the Arab American Action Network which was suspected of funding anti-American terrorists action in Beirut and other countries.
2001 - Obama sponsored the Senate Bill 750 "the Halal Food Act" providing for inspections by the Department of Agriculture to ensure that all food labeled Halal is prepared according to Islamic law.
2003 - Obama took over $90K as contribution from the Council of a Livable World which is in favor of full military disarmament (which would love to leave us defenceless from the tyrants of the world).
2008 - Obama runs for President of the US
2009 - Obama is sworn into office as the President of the US
2009 - Passes very expensive Stimulus which created zero jobs, but lined the pockets of many of his friends.
2009 - Artificially propped up the housing market which in turn crashed again even worse.
2009 - Bailed out auto industry and handed GM over to the United Auto Workers union.
2009 - Appointed 32 Czars without Congress's approval.
2010 - Obama and his Democrat ran Congress and Senate ram through Obamacare even though 82% of Americans stated that they preferred to keep health care the way it was.
2010-2012 - Ballooned the country's debt sinking America closer to her second Great Depression.
2012 - Refuses to engage Iran militarily to ensure the safety of Israel which Iran has vowed to wipe off the map.
On New Years Eve 2011, Obama signs the National Defence Authorization Act which give him the sole power of detaining American citizens if he considers them to be a threat to national security.
People, let me just say that I'm starting to see a resemblance in history here. I understand that there are those of you who don't believe in conspiracies, but something just doesn't smell right here. Think about it. Say we are hit with a National Disaster of some sort. Our financial situation is grim, our military is spread all over the world, our President favors Arab ways to ours, he now has the power to not only declare Martial Law, but also start detaining us for whatever reason. I'm just saying.
Well, I should climb down off of my soapbox and get ready to start my day. Good day to you all.
