More often than not our, oh-so-willing, educational system has more of less replaced the American family.
Oh, that's bullshit, McGinty.
Not really.
It's what happens when half of all marriages end up in divorce.
It's what happens when the American family structure falls completely apart.
It's what happens when it takes two incomes just to keep your head above water.
It's what happens when families that do stay together spend more time on their phones than they do talking to each other.
You can say what you want about my old fashioned and out of date beliefs.
But my generation never had to introduce our family as, this is my dad Tom and my other dad Doug.
And we never had to introduce our sister as Briana who used to be Brian.
Obviously I don't have the answer to fix the mess we've allowed our country to become.
All I can do is to focus on me and mine.
And that my friends, is exactly what I intend to do...

Timely column, Kevin...my Saturday visitors were "young'uns" and nothing like those brainwashed idjits in the picture above...
ReplyDeleteTo stop in to visit an old lady whom they hadn't seen for several years says how much they value family. Coming out here was miles from I70 and their destination.
Neither went to college. Both have good jobs, jobs they've had for some time. No fancy titles, no big money, just steady work that keeps the bills paid and extra for things they enjoy doing as a couple.
They drive a nice pickup, his father helps him with any repairs and he is into working on cars old or new.
These kids show all the signs of having old-fashioned values and I'm proud of them.
No welfare, no attitude thinking the world owes them anything, no drugs. Young people who give me hope for the future of America if the DC power brokers don't end up destroying her completely.
???? How did that happen?
DeleteObviously I need more coffee...
Kept wondering why I got all these "verify I'm not a robot boxes"...
DeleteObviously I approach the solution from an entirely different perspective than many, but I believe all of this stems from the church's failure to address sin in our culture for the past nearly 5 decades. By this inaction the culture's moral guidance now comes from the government and the government's morals come from the entrenched bureaucracy which is very much guided by secular humanistic ideology
ReplyDeleteCats when I read that, 1st thing I said Hell that is Cats why Annonus. heheheh
ReplyDeleteLol! Maybe I need to start my day much earlier or drink more coffee before posting...or maybe I'm losing my few remaining marbles...🙀
DeleteDennis, that's interesting, I heard a sermon on that very subject Sunday. We are working through 1 Samuel.
ReplyDeleteThe Tribes wanted a King. God was leading them through his prophets but they wanted a King. And they got one, much to their regret.
That's how far this goes back. And it's worse today than ever. Problems? More government, they can fix it. As if government has fixed anything in this world up to now.
They turn their back on God and look to government. And it just keeps getting worse.
But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Dennis, yes...rule by men running secular governments vs rule by men upholding God and the Commandments above all else.
ReplyDeleteThose damn kids in that pic should be forced to average every one of all their grades against each other. See how much "the smart ones" like getting D's.
ReplyDeleteDidja know? The neighborhood of West Baltimore has been under police lockdown for the past few days? Detective Sean Suiter, in that area investigating a murder, was shot and killed. Police still trying to find his killer and 215k reward for info leading to an arrest.
ReplyDeleteDet. Suiter is black and leaves behind 5 children and his wife.
Of note in the comment section...one post talked about the "spiritual void" that has been created when people turn away from God's laws, choosing secular government instead...
Story at Zero Hedge. "Entire Baltimore Neighborhood...."
As the meltdown continues...
ReplyDeleteOn a positive note, demands are growing for release of Lois Lerner's testimony from those closed hearings about the targeting of Tea Party people by the IRS..."scared" she sez..."Ive been threatened..."
WAAAH!!!
Taxpayer money paid for those hearings.
Taxpayer money paid her damned salary and is funding her retirement.
Taxpayers paid the settlements to those targeted.
Screw you, Lois.
Karma's a bitch.
Indeed it is...
ReplyDeleteOh, and good morning...
ReplyDeleteWell good morning all, back in KC again. But after this mornings meeting family time begins. Houston bound.
ReplyDeleteGod morning Kevin and Dennis.
ReplyDeleteSmall world. I just got to Kansas City to pick up the grand kids.
ReplyDeleteWell, Tyson Foods is going to build their chicken plant in Kentucky. Apparently the folks in Tonganoxi don't like chickens, big construction projects, jobs or tax revenues. And I bet they are at the top of the heap of hollering about Sam Brownback "destroying the Kansas economy" and all that nonsense.
ReplyDeleteFunny world we live in. I guess Kentuckians don't mind a few hundred jobs added to the economy.
Well Concordians were wanting that plant. I guess they don't mind a bunch more immigrants coming in. I'd ask some of those people on Croco Road (between 2nd and 6th) how enthusiastic they are about the new Reeser plant. My guess is, not much. Somehow I don't think a bunch of them are needing a $10.25 an hour job.
DeleteI understand the positions on both sides of this issue. My impression is that Tongie and Croco Rd don't need the economic effect, Concordia and Coffeyville do.
Little tidbit from Conrad Black:
ReplyDelete"Donald Trump Is The Most Successful U.S. President Since Ronald Reagan: “It is too early to predict whether he will be a successful president or not. But no one relying on the Canadian media would be aware that he has more than doubled the economic growth rate, reduced illegal immigration by about 80 per cent, withdrawn from the insane Paris Climate accord, helped add trillions to U.S. stock market values, created nearly two million new jobs, led the rout of ISIL, and gained full Chinese adherence to the unacceptability of North Korean nuclear military capability. He will probably pass the greatest tax cuts and reforms since Reagan, if not Lyndon Johnson, by Christmas, and may throw out the most unpopular feature of Obamacare, the coercive mandate, with it.”
Well, you wouldn’t learn much more from following U.S. media. But for the moment I think Trump is happy to have this stuff going on under the media radar. When he wants it to be news, I suspect he’ll figure out a way to make it news."
Ruminating a little on the death of Charles Manson. Evil personified, a hero of the radial left of the sixties. Spoken very highly of by many of the radical leaders. A hero of his times, and of his fellow followers of Satan.
ReplyDeleteBut among those heaping praise on the murderous monster was one Bernadette Dohrn. Husband of Bill Ayers. Leaders of the Weather Underground, bombers and domestic terrorists.
She was quoted as saying this: “First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, then they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach. Wild!”
Among those "pigs" was the very pregnant Sharon Tate, who was mutilated and her blood was used to write "Healter Skelter"(sic) on the wall.
Bernadette Dohrn and Bill Ayers later went on to be prominent figures in Chicago. He a school administrator, she a lawyer. Neither ever express regret for the murders they committed or those they heartily approved of.
Both later became avid supporters and close friends of the Kenyan president, barack hussein obama. Bill Ayers was a close political advisor who helped him launch his career in Illinois politics. The rest is history.
Just think about that and what it means. Those who were offended by the Kenyan's connections to those terrorists were castigated for talking about it.
And those weren't the only terrorists the Kenyan was connected to.
Manson should have "somehow escaped custody", never to be heard from again.
ReplyDeleteTaken to a remote place, and been reminded every day of what he had done, to make him wish he was where he is now.
I know. Can't do that. But, that unrepentant psycho deserved more of a hell on Earth than all those years mocking the world from his safe prison cell.
I remember Dohrn's comments all too well...despicable people, both her and her husband. Also recall Manson's trial and all the chanting and hell raising his followers pulled in the courtroom. They were like rabid animals.
ReplyDeleteOn McCabe: Judicial Watch dumped a cache of 79 documents on him and his campaign shenanigans (wife) obtained via FOIA...link to them can be found in a Zero Hedge report on it.
ReplyDeleteUranium One continues via Hannity...
And the dam is crumbling down on all the pervs in congress and the media...
What a stinking, putrid mess.
Good morning room 235, Well I am going to read the news to see what Kind of Mess this world is in now live time.
ReplyDeleteWell nothing to seem to have change Trump is still Kicking asses and taking names. Bigly :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed he is...
