A CALL TO ACTION!

Fathers Day

            It’s difficult to say exactly when it happened, it probably goes back to the beginning of time, but war has been declared on the family. Most of you are aware of this in the back of your mind, but this is as stealthy a war as has ever been waged. Just as the people who worked at the laceName w:st="on">WorldlaceName> laceName w:st="on">TradelaceName> laceType w:st="on">TowerslaceType> might have been somewhat aware that there was a war going on, in was impossible to always keep up your guard, especially when they were constantly being lied to. I wouldn’t be surprised that over 90% of the victims of 9/11 voted for Bill Clinton for president. Odds are none of them were aware that he had passed on numerous occasions on capturing or killing Bin Laden. I am sure that none of them knew how ineffective the CIA and FBI had been rendered by his policies and the people he had appointed. In a sense they actually voted for their own death. Not that the opposition candidates would have done much better.

            It has become clear that during the 60’s the war against the family was really picking up steam. LBJ’s war on poverty was the greatest help these evil forces could have been given. Before the creation of our welfare state, black families were as healthy as any in the country. Soon after, crime, drugs,  illegitimate births and fatherless households became the norm. It has often been said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Certainly the destruction of the nuclear family has been couched in such. I like to think that I have become fairly sophisticated at seeing through the BS but I do find myself having new realizations pretty much on a daily basis. The best analogy that I can think of is when Neil is presented with either the Red pill or the Black pill in the first Matrix movie. Once you take the Red pill (knowledge of how things truly are and not how one has been conditioned to believe) there is no going back. I often meet people unwilling to even take a look they are so ensconced in their comfort zone that many would prefer mental comfort to the truth.

            Not that I am claiming that I have the ultimate truth. Only that I am willing to engage in a never ending search. The willingness to say, you know I could be wrong in this belief or what I perceive and am willing to take a closer look. What it really requires is a willingness to be wrong. I find things coming out of my mouth that I never thought in a million years I would be saying. Things including social programs and other government institutions work or they don’t. It is often said that a sure sign of insanity is trying the same thing over and over expecting a different result. Like the drunk who was down on his knees looking for his car keys when a friend came up and ask him where he lost them. He pointed over in another direction than the one in which he was searching. So him friend ask him why he was looking where he was. He stated that the light was much better over here than were he dropped them. How many of us are looking for a better way but refusing to go where the search isn’t as pleasant or easy?

Most people choose the blue pill now days!

The family is under attack by the current public school system. A big Lib/Progressive, the "father" of current American public schools John Dewey made a statement long ago. I will paraphrase it until I get a direct quote for you. He said something to the extent of, "if schools could get more and more time from the kids in after school programs and so on, within one generation we could get children to turn from their Religion and traditions of their Parents."

This is just one of many ways in which the family is under attack.

"just because the definition of family has changed doesn't mean that is the only factor in increased crime/drug rates."

You are right feffer_kins, but you do have to admit that it is in the top 3 of major factors.
