WHAT YOU SOW, YOU REAP

The Bible teaches us that if you preach, practice and spread good, good will surely come to you; if you sow evil, it will surely return to bite you.  

We as a nation have allowed our morals and scruples to evaporate.  Just as we have not required our children to learn and follow the moral and ethical teachings contained in the Bible, we have not held our elected politicians or our government officials up to the high standards embedded into us by our forefathers.  Left alone without guidance and instruction, children and those who pretend to the throne of governance will soon stray from the straight and narrow paths of righteousness.  The result is clear: crime, drug misuse and social dysfunction has increased immensely in our younger generations, and we have a country that is floundering because its leaders have turned into self-serving and corrupt, blubbering idiots. 

We are angry, frustrated and confused, but we have no one to blame but ourselves.  It is not their fault; it is our fault for allowing them to turn into what they have become.   It is our fault because we don't want to live up to the responsibilities of parenthood or citizenship.  You know the old saying: "Spare the rod and spoil the child." 

The lesson here is that it is not up to them to change; it us up to us to make them change.  Just as the schoolyard bully needs to be hauled into the principal's office and whacked on his behind with a paddle, so should the Hillary Clintons of the world be in a jail making license plates.  Just as a child needs to be sitting in a room with his nose in a book learning about life, so it is that a politician should be required to know every single word of the Constitution verbatim.  

To require less on our part is to lead us to right where we are at this very moment in time. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
