Anarchy in America

The legacy of President Obama will likely be "Anarchy in America". For those who may not understand the word, "anarchy" is when laws are unenforceable, there is not police protection or government structure, and everyone is on their own.

In Ferguson, New York and now Baltimore, we are watching people tear their towns and cities a part while the police look on with orders to "stand down". People are hurt, businesses are burned, a new generation of lawlessness is ushered in.

How did this start? Poverty, neglect of the inner cities, too much free stuff? It is hard to tell if they are the cause or the effect. Are people poor and uneducated because they are neglected or are they neglected because they are poor and illiterate?

We have been grappling with these social issues for decades and none of the "oh, you poor baby" programs inaugurated in by Democratic Progressive Liberals seems to have reduced the size of the city slums nor increased the number of gainfully employed minorities.

But then again we can ask the question, "Why is it that the majority of the devastatingly poor neighborhoods, rife with drugs, crime, and murder, are primarily black? Why don't we also have vast inter-city waste lands inhabited by Latinos, Asians, Filipinos, or Iranians? Why are blacks the poster children for oppression and poverty?"

Does everyone in the world really just hate blacks?

Our black/white President, and his Progressive cronies, have set an example of ignoring the rule of law and doing what they feel is best or the will of the people, whether it is or not. Examples:

Executive orders from the President intentionally written to by-pass Congress.
Laws on the books that the Attorney General refuses to enforce.
Open invitations from the President for non-citizens to illegally enter this great Country.
Then giving them food, shelter and education denied many life-long citizens.
Complicite in ordering the police to stand-down while gangs destroy property and threaten lives.

President Obama is teaching the black youth of this country that they will not be held accountable for any laws they break. Even those arrested in the Baltimore Riots are being released because the 48 hour holding period has expired.

Instead of listening to Obama's horrible example, kids should be listening to Toya Graham, the mother who was filmed smacking her 16 year old son when she caught him throwing rocks as the police. 

There are many reasons why not all parents can be there every minute to teach their children, but we can have neighborhood mentors, as well as professional and political examples of integrity, hard-work, and service. 

The good people of this country need to say this is enough, we are fed up with the greedy, economically ignorant socialites and politicians setting the example for our children. 

We need to shine. 
We need to set the example. 
We need to be honest. 
We need to work hard. 
We need to require our children to follow our example.

Stand up, be an example for good. 

There are absolute truths that absolutely bring happiness when followed and absolutely bring sorrow when ignored.

If You Don't Like Where It's Going, Get Off the Bus

This is the 2nd time in a month that Muslim students and their supporters have stopped the showing of "American Sniper."

An article by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton in the Right Wing News, details the travesty.

"Earlier this month the University of Michigan cancelled a showing after Muslims called the subject of the record-breaking film, the late Chris Kyle, a “racist” and “mass killer” — only to reverse themselves after a huge outcry that included their new football coach Jim Harbaugh."

"Last weekend, another Michigan college, Eastern Michigan University, planned to show two screenings of ‘American Sniper.’"

"But during the first showing, four protesters climbed onstage at the Student Center Auditorium chanting anti-American slogans and demanding the screening be stopped. The four were briefly arrested.’"

So it is now okay to go into a theatre to a show you are not required to attend and demand that it be shut down because you don't like or agree with the movie. This is so incredible. People actually believe that they have the right to dictate to others what they can and can't watch.

I realize that these both happened at universities and were done by college students, but students grow up, (sometimes) and get jobs (sometimes), get married (sometimes), and vote (maybe). Why didn't anyone; parents, teachers, mentors, or police teach them to respect the rights of others.

I truly want everyone to be a Christian, Mormon specifically, but I will never have anyone consider it if I burn their flag, ban them from doing the things they like, and disrespecting everything they hold dear. No, I try to be kind, understanding, compassionate, industrious, and a good example of how happiness if achieved by living the teachings of Jesus. 

The United States of America is the only country ever that had to put up a fence to keep people out. No one has a God-given right to remain here. Unless you are a convicted felon, any of us can go almost anywhere we want, do almost anything we want and become almost anything we want to become.

So, if you don't like American values, food, movies or dress, it is in your best interests to go someplace where others have the same values, food, movies, and dress that you prefer.

If you don't like where it's going, get off the bus!
