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.
