Wimpy America

I love America.

I don’t love the crazy “warped” thinking that seems to be permeating our society. What is happening to us when little children are being arrested for pointing their fingers in the shape of a gun? Or a second grader suspended for chewing a pop-tart into the shape of a gun? Our hammer down approach to zero-tolerance has gone over the top and to be honest, it’s way off kilter. Meanwhile, ISIS is grooming their children TO KILL and die for a god that doesn’t give a rip about you or me or THEM!

Hey, if you hadn’t noticed….America is a focal point of some of the most deep rooted hate ever known to man. In Raqqa, Syria right this very minute runs a “training camp” for Islamic children. They indoctrinate them to hate Americans and whoever else doesn’t see the world as they do and to kill them for doing so. They are trained to fight for the building up of the Islamic State and their god. All while your kid is hauled in from the lunchroom for “pretending” to be a cop.

How’s that for zero tolerance?

While your little punkin’ might be playing cops & robbers, somewhere across the world….jihadist’s are hunkered down with small kids teaching them the real deal. The problem (besides the fact that no child needs to be trained to kill) I feel, is that America needs to snap out of it. Stop the madness.

No longer is it acceptable to have an imagination?

That’s the message being given when case after case of ridiculousness pops up on our evening news. Parents, I have no idea how to deal. Seriously. I have no clue what to tell you about your little Marcus or Shelly. All I know is that if your kid is busted for being a “normal” child playing make believe, you are probably going to end up a phenom on the tv.

I don’t want a wimpy America. I don’t want a jaded society who believes a gun pop-tart is DANGEROUS or worthy of an arrest. I don’t want any of this janked up thinking to saturate my country or the children in it. So, here’s my idea:

STOP GOING ALONG WITH IT!

See the reality for what it is, FEAR MONGERING! Don’t let anyone tell you that our kids are all messed up because of guns and video games. Violence and hate is taught. Are you teaching your kids to hate? Probably not, so don’t let government or public education or anyone tell you that your little darlin has crossed a line by playing cowboys and Indians, anymore. In case you haven’t heard, our colleges are all abuzz with “offended” kids (young adults, that is) by trigger words and more. See how well all this zero-tolerance business is working? What a full circle picture. Awesome, huh?

Until Americans see this kind of stuff for what it is, it will only get worse.

Good day, folks.

How NOT to Raise a Looter

Tuesday, April 28th, 2015

Unless you’ve been under a rock, you’ve more than likely caught a glimpse of this “Mom” taking care of business.

angry mom

She is his mom, right? Who really knows the truth? The media does such a great job of misleading, bating hate and twisting stories to fit their SELL SELL SELL agenda. For me, I’m going to hold back on claiming this lady as his mother. For all we REALLY know, she could just be some ticked off lady whose had enough and this kid was in her line of fire.

You have noticed there are quite a few folks down there in Baltimore making their voices known. How does a mom happen upon her own kid in that chaos? Possible? Yes, but still…. Should we jump to conclusions? I don’t know. I can’t, just not sure.

However, I can tell you our society needs parents who give a rip about what their kids are doing in the real world. Besides it being a reflection on them (don’t give me that garbage that your kids are not a peek at who you are) WRONGO BONGO! We are all an extension of the ones who did or didn’t invest in us! More reason to be the best danged parent you can be, huh?

I don’t believe anyone who brings a child into the world starts out with the intentions of raising up a crazy, out-of-control, rioting looter. I mean, really? Who does that? Barbarians? Perhaps.

But what happens? Where do these destructive, hate-filled, outrageous people come from? Where are their mothers? Their fathers? Who taught them to do such a thing? What in the world ever convinced them that behaving like criminals was a way of seeking true justice?

It’s not civilized behavior.

I’ve been really mad before and I know how anger can escalate to something not pretty. I’ve never crossed the line into criminal behavior. Why? Because, I knew better. So, why is it that our society is so rampant with this crazy reaction whenever something goes wrong or a mistake is made?

I’m convinced that it’s a direct reflection of the lifestyles of the family.

Live like hell. Live. Like. Hell.

The old cliche, treat others like you would have them treat you…seems to be a thing of the past. Almost. We now live in a world that finds abuse, unkindness and illegal criminality normal. It feels like the thinking is do it to them before they do it to you. Only, not all of us want to smash your car windows to steal your ipad out of your car. Or rob someone’s grandma as she leaves the Piggly Wiggly with her oatmeal and buttermilk.

It’s a sad world. But this is the world we live in, a violent and hateful world.

So, how do you keep your kids from running wild and turning into a news fodder picture?

YOU LOVE THEM.

You love them enough to do the hard stuff like; DISCIPLINE THEM, HUG THEM, SPEND TIME WITH THEM, TEACH THEM THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG, HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE, GIVE THEM CHORES, SPEAK KINDNESS TO THEM, COVER THEM WITH PRAYER, EXPECT HONESTY FROM THEM, BE HONEST WITH THEM YOURSELF, LIVE A LIFE OF INTEGRITY IN FRONT OF THEM, REFUSE TO LET THEM RUN WILD, ENFORCE FAMILY AND SOCIETY RULES, TEACH THEM RESPONSIBILITIES, SHOW THEM MERCY, COMMUNICATE WITH THEM, PLACE BOUNDARIES ON THEIR FREEDOMS, MAKE THEM A PRIORITY….EVERY SINGLE DAY! AND, BE A REAL FREAKIN’ PARENT TO THEM!

The world has enough of pathetic human-ing.

I don’t even know where to go with what is now becoming popular among the American society. Riots, looting, fighting, stealing from innocent businesses, assaulting others, destroying property/police vehicles. I can’t wrap my brain around any of it. This is NOT sticking up for what is right, on any level. Ever. It’s criminal, it’s evil and it’s coming to your town soon. Why?

Don’t let the media tell you injustice needs a screaming violent voice. That’s not the way to handle anything. The picture, up top….that could be his mom. But, why would a mom need to beat up her kid? If she was doing her part in his life to begin with? Maybe that answers why he’s down there doing what he’s doing.

Love your kids. Our world needs it.
