I am having a very difficult time understanding many of my “fellow Americans”.

I look around me and see the “American Way” quickly becoming something I am less than proud of.   I see that corruption in our federal government has risen to extreme levels that I never thought possible.

Radicals, socialists, communists, crooks, thugs and automatons pervade the highest levels of our government.

I see a huge power shift from the people to our corrupt government.

I see Black Panther bullies given a pass for outlandish intimidation of voters at a polling place.  By the way, my concern has NOTHING to do with race, it has only to do with America and our law.  I wonder how Mr. Holder would have handled guys in white sheets intimidating black voters in Mississippi?  (I would hope he would stow them under the jail as he should have done with the Panthers. Now I have insulted both the panthers and the clan.)

I see a health care law enacted that creates many more problems than it solves and a US Army unit training in Georgia to handle “domestic unrest” with in our own borders.

I see terrorists being called ill instead of hateful and Americans who cherish traditional American values being ridiculed and mocked.

I see presidential promises broken with a wink instead of an apology (and America winks back).

Speaking of apologies, I see POTUS apologizing to the world for everything that is good in America.

I see our government trashing our relationships with our closest allies and sucking up to those who hate us.

I see our economy being trashed and our children’s future being squandered.

I see what has been a worthless media, rising up and becoming a malignant force that seems to be bent on our destruction.

And our congress! when did it become the enemy of America?

I feel like Rip Van Winkle!

It seems that bad has become the new good and good has become outdated, uncool, and stupid. (Props to Isaiah the Hebrew prophet for warning us this would happen)

The point is, I see these things and think: Germany, circa 1936, Argentina, circa 1955 (or North Korea, circa today).  Whereas, millions of my fellow citizens, see a great new hero who is leading America to its glorious destiny.

And, when I try to talk to one of these citizens who refer to themselves by the euphemism “progressives”,  I begin to see how much trouble we are really in.  Trying to talk to these “progressives” about our founders and the constitution or freedom and its price, is worse than trying to talk to a fence post.  At least the fence post can generally be counted upon to be free from body odor and refrain from spitting on you or clubbing you to death with nonsensical sound bites and mantras.

It is more like trying to teach a pig to fly.  It is a complete waste of time and it annoys the pig.

In reading this, you may conclude that I hate Mr. Obama, but that is not the case.  I hate what he is doing to the America i grew up in.  The one that was created and preserved by the blood and sacrifice of my ancestors.  The one that I have served and struggled to pass on to my posterity.

But I do not hate Barack Obama.

I believe he is simply being himself and doing what he sincerely thinks is best for himself and those he cares about.  There are no surprises with Mr. Obama.  He is exactly what he seemed to be before he was elected and he is behaving exactly as he told us he would (for example: why should he prove he is ineligible for this great job when he can get a pass and keep feeding at the trough?).

When he reminded Republican law-makers that “Elections have consequences” shortly after his inauguration, he was simply setting the tone for his presidency.  He brought his friends and associates with him to Washington just as Jimmy Carter (the last president whose stupidity we almost didn’t survive) did.  It just so happens that rather than being a bunch of “crackers” (and I mean that in the kindest possible way.  Some of my best friends are from Georgia) Obama’s cronies are a bunch of thugs, crooks and radicals (ooops, now I have insulted Chicago).

I don’t hate Barak, I just want the USA to survive him and get back on track.

And I should say this:

Our country has been off track since long before Mr. Obama bounded onto our stage.  In fact, we have been the proverbial “frogs in a pot” for decades.

We have been steadily pursuing a slide down the slippery slope we started in 1962 when prayer was first banned in schools.  This slide was certainly accelerated in the decade beginning in 1965 during which we sacrificed 50,000 American lives in a futile war in Vietnam for which we had no clearly defined objective and no commitment to “win” (whatever that meant to the politicians), then again in 1973 when Roe v. Wade paved the way for the legal slaughter of over 40,000,000 unborn babies so far.

I thought the slide was over when Ronald Reagan was Elected in 1980.  Unfortunately, that merely just a pleasant delay, but it made me feel optimistic about our country again after the Carter fiasco…er… administration.

When you think about it, If the Obama regime serves as a wake up call to a sleeping American populace (who have been enjoying the warming water in the pot for at least five decades) before we actually boil to death, Mr. Obama could be the best thing that has happened to America in fifty years!

If you are interested in a preview of the USA of the future should we fail to end our plunge into leftist utopia, look no farther than Detroit.  Detroit has been the model city for the leftist vision of Utopia since the 1960′s.

It is a city detached from the economic realities of supply and demand and the fight to remain competitive and give customers what they want.  It is a city where the critical balance of power between labor and capital was artificially jammed in favor of labor, giving inordinate power to unions.  Wages and benefits have been maintained at the highest in the world without regard to value provided.  Failure was not allowed, the rich uncle (Sam) was always there to bail out.  People were not fired, they were simply moved into “job banks” drawing near full pay for NOT working.  A workers paradise!

This thought provoking video takes us on a tour of this workers’ paradise today as the unemployment rate pushes 30%.  One fact says it all: A Detroit student today is more likely to go to prison than to graduate from high school.

Liberal or conservative, Republican or Democrat, you owe yourself a look at this video.

We came across several stories in our ceaseless search for important news that demonstrate our society’s moral decline. Immorality has always existed but it has not always been accepted. Over the years the media’s relentless and ubiquitous in-your-face assault on everything decent has numbed us all to things that were once unacceptable.

Kevin Jennings, the founder of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network, was teaching high school in Concord, Mass., in 1988 when the boy, a sophomore, confessed an involvement with a man he had met in a bus station bathroom in Boston. Jennings has written that he told the boy, “I hope you knew to use a condom.”

In a statement issued Wednesday, President Obama’s Director of the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools Kevin Jennings responded to critics calling for Jennings to step down:

Twenty one years later I can see how I should have handled this situation differently. I should have asked for more information and consulted legal or medical authorities.

“Teachers back then had little training or guidance about this kind of thing,” Jennings said. “All teachers should have a basic level of preparedness. I would like to see the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools play a bigger role in helping to prepare teachers.”

“I should have handled this situation differently” You think?

“Teachers back then had little training or guidance about this kind of thing”. Who needs training on this? How about common sense and a sense of decency? The first reaction of people I know would have been to call the police and get help for the student. How difficult is that to figure out?

We might be more sympathetic if Mr Jennings had not been continually boasting about his handling of the incident and the positive effect he had on this young man’s life,  in his published  book as well as  in his talks before gay audiences.  We might be, but I doubt it.

Speaking of difficult things to figure out, Toys”R”Us spokesperson, Whoopi Goldberg, defended child rapist and hollywood filmmaker, Roman Polanski.

Claiming that he wanted to photograph 13-year old Samantha Geimer, Polanski, then 43, plied the girl with champagne and drugs and then, despite her repeated refusals and requests to go home, he raped her.

“I know it wasn’t ‘rape’ rape. I think it was something else, but I don’t believe it was ‘rape’ rape,” said Ms. Goldberg on ABC’s (owned by Disney) The View.

Perhaps Toys”R”Us should “fire” fire their spokesperson.  Perhaps we should fire Toys “R” Us as well as Disney.

Disney also owns the ABC Family Channel whose tagline is “A New Kind of Family”.

Meanwhile, Newsweek reporter, Katie Connolly decries Senator Orrin Hatch’s call to reinstate federal funding for abstinence-only sex education:

Let’s face it. Teenagers are going to have sex. They always have, they always will. Sure there will be a decent number of teens who choose to abstain and they should feel supported in that decision, but there will still be a large chunk of teenagers doing the dirty. Making them stop is a fools errand. It’s about as likely a seeing the Pope in a speedo. It’s like asking the Queen to declare her hatred for corgis. It’s not going to happen. Sex education policies should take into account this basic reality and tailor programs that broadly educate teens about their choices, abstinence included. Policies should be set up to work. Anything else is just pointless moralizing.

These casual and fatalistic views have been destroying our way of life and will result in our undoing. Before there were ever governments to rule “civilized” society, there were families consisting of a mother, father, and children. We don’t need a “new kind of family”.

OK, after all the horrific Obama “key appointment malfunctions” I think we have found a winner to take the proverbial cake.

The alleged crimes of Mr Obama’s choice for “Safe School Czar”, Kevin Jennings, were exposed in a Washington Times Editorial and a Fox News story, both of which are linked below.

The source for these allegations is apparently is Mr Jennings himself, in a book he authored in 1994 and an audio tape of a talk he delivered in 2000.  In them, the following story emerges:

A 15 year-old student sought counsel from Mr. Jennings in his capacity as a school teacher. He told of meeting an older man in a bus station men’s room and subsequently accompanying him to his home that evening where he engaged in homosexual acts. Instead of reporting the incident as required by law of an adult in such position of trust and authority, Mr Jennings allegedly encouraged the relationship despite the fact it seems to have been a clear case of statutory rape.

In the links below you will find the Washington Times editorial in full as well as the Fox News story, a Human Events article and an Atlas Shrugs Blog article each providing insight into Mr Jennings history and qualifications for the powerful post to which he has been appointed. In them you will learn that Mr. Jennings is the homosexual founder of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). You will also get some interesting insight to the mission and methods of this organization.

When you are finished, you may wish to ask yourself this question: Do you want this man to be in charge of school safety for our nation?

Did “Safe School Czar” Encourage Statutory Rape?
