If we have a problem in this country, it's not guns or knives or hammers. It's lack of respect for life. That is what drives horrendous violence in any culture. Such a respect cannot be simply legislated by government, inculcated by religion, or absorbed via osmosis by modern media.

It is the job of every parent alive to instill and instruct their children in the way they should go. It is the jo...b of every parent to teach critical thinking and decision making. It is the job of every parent to evaluate on an active basis their children's priorty setting and teach them not only what, but why they are wrong if they wrong. It is the job of every parent. Want to know why our society is so sick today - our traditional families have been blown apart the last 50 years. Thus is being lost the oral tradition of parents instilling decent maternal and paternal values, together, in their offspring. Yes, you will always have outliers, those who cannot, or will not be taught or trained correctly. But they are outliers.

There was a study released today that says in 50 years of tracking college freshman, this current crop is the most "deluded narcissistic" of the bunch yet. This is the result of bad parenting.

Until parents accept their full responsibility for their children's development - not just legally, but morally, ethically, spiritually and emotionally - and until children are again taught to be responsible for learning; until we become responsible for instilling and teaching and reinforcing in each other all that is decent and kind and good about the human race, none of these problems will be solved. Certainly not by legislation, executive order, or attempts to rescind constitutional rights.

You wanna end violence with guns? First you must end violence of man against woman, woman against man, parent against parent, and parent against child.

But why should we? Thanks to the baby boomer generation we have spent 50 years teaching that life is a choice, responsibility can be avoided, and that revenge equals justice. They have propagated liberal thought throughout the masses that were born in a misty haze and alcohol filled binges in the 60's. They have sown the seeds of our societal destruction and now expect us to care for their fractured world in their old age while they have been busy killing as many of the next generation as they can.

You wanna end violence with guns? Get rid of the "If it feels good, do it" relativism that the baby boomers brought us during the height of their Haight-Ashbury high and Woodstock lovefest. Don't forget Charles Manson was at Haight-Ashbury. Get rid of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society - it has turned into a Great Nightmare and created 3 generations of economically enslaved people who think only of what they can take from society and nothing of what they can contribute to society. Don't look to Obama to stop violence with guns - he can't stop a thing. Look in the mirror instead.

Where there is any discontent in society, where there is any idleness, where there is any lack of responsibility, where there is any laziness, where there is any lack of teaching of common human dignity and decency, where there is any sense of entitlement at any level of the socioeconomic classes, therein lie the dormant seeds from which unconscionable violence may later spring.

@VicSmith

That is a great idea. We already do this in reverse! 

It adds a check/balance that is currently missing.

I just want to say hello to the group members and thank them for having me participate. I hope to make useful contributions with my opinions and my blog, Brain Flushings. While my profile lists me in Canada, I moved here from NYC in 2010 (yes there are still a few conservatives from New Yawk), and I've done a lot of work with 9-11 families and even wrote a book about Islamic terrorism. I look forward to this wonderful forum.

Here is a skit you can use at your church or other group for 4th of July...

Fourth of July Skit
This is a skit with no spoken parts.
In the background: silent movie type music from early American times.

Uncle Sam walks on stage   A flag is on the stage.

He has some giant books  (the audience can read the titles)
Constitution
Bible
He sets the books on the shelf.

Children are around him.  The are happy.  Immigrants come.  They are free.  They are happy.

Demons in black tights run towards him, enticing, nudging
He is seated (by the demons)  in a recliner in front of a TV.

They hand him a beer
He gets drowsy.  He sleeps.

The demons creep up and take the constitution
They tie the Bible up and drag it away.
They pull the foundations out from beneath his house.


The pied piper comes by and leads the children away.
The  children are sad.  They cut themselves.  They fight.

Uncle Sam is sleeping while the TV drones on and on.

Then the demons take his wallet.  That was the last straw.

He awakens.

He is enraged!  He goes after the demons.  They overcome him.  They bind him.

He prays.

He kneels and cries out to God in prayer.

Angels come.  
Young people come.  They say the pledge of allegiance.   They say “UNDER GOD” loudly and deliberately.  The demons scream and run.  The children come back.  The immigrants come back.

Singers:  The preamble to the Constitution.



Singers:  Star spangled banner…. Verse 2



Hope you like it..

Here's an idea whose time just may have come:

 

The federal legislative path requires a bill to be introduced in one or the other House of Congress, then passed in both houses, then sent to the President and signed by him/her.  If vetoed by the President, that legislation can still become law by passage with 2/3 majority in both houses of Congress.

 

Today, more than in any recent history, when a law desired by current resident 1600 Penn Ave cannot be passed in both Houses of Congress and presented for "its" signature, "it" merely issues an Executive Order, creating a de facto bypass of the legislative system where the citizens have representation.

 

Suggested Remedy:  Make all Executive Orders subject to a Veto by either House of Congress.  A 2/3 majority vote in only one House would be required to make this Congressional Veto take effect.  Congressional Veto would make that Executive Order completely null and void.  When an Executive Order strikes down existing Legislation, such as ordering officials to ignore immigration laws, then such a vote shall be mandatory by both Houses of Congress, because such Executive Order is directly in violation to US Constitution Article II, Section 3: “…he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed…”.

 

Result:  End of Executive Branch Rule by Edict.  Return to Legislation by elected representation of the citizens.

 

Please be welcome to encourage this idea to your elected representatives, friends, fellow patriots, and all other citizens of this "...bright shining city..." that is still the last, best hope of man on earth, just so long as we can keep the republic.

 

Thanx,

After Sarah announces, we should organize and write to local, national, major  conservative and liberal newspapers, websites, commentaries for news articles, etc. Any ideas on organizing?

5/2/2011 is not just a randon date of Operation: Geronimo if you add up the numbers in the date it equals 9/11 try it:
5/2/2011 5+2+2 = 9 and the 11 remains as is so 9/11

Comment by George Somaru on May 16, 2011 at 4:45pm

Over the years I have seen the strengthening of Progressive hands in the Republican Party at the same time that the Democratic Party has totally capitulated to Marxists. Both are socialist. Both parties lead to down the socialist road toward communism. And while one party will detour through fascism, it too will ultimately end in tyranny.

 

Although I stopped registering as a Republican years ago (and never voted Democrat) I have voted Republican whenever there was no Constitutional or Libertarian Candidate. I figured that my choices were an important way to pull us back to the right; to vote otherwise was in fact a true wasted vote (given the corruption both parties have shown us).

 

However, I now believe I will once again register Republican. The reason I will do this is so that I can vote in the Primaries to affect Republican choices. Who is ultimately fielded as the Republican nominee for any office – but particularly for the office of President – will be of tremendous concern to the Democratic doubtful, Independents, Libertarians, and Constitutionalists (the fastest growing party in America). So while I can still vote my conscience, I will do my part to ensure that a true Constitution believing candidate of integrity is selected by the party come election day.

 

This is the best way I know to bring the Constitution to the forefront of discussion during the 2012 elections as it should be. Other than that, I will continue to work on other efforts to raise awareness that the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Original Intent of the Founding Fathers (as written in their own words) should be the primary filter through which all politics, candidates, laws, executive orders, regulations, policies, departments and agencies are judged.
