Citizens who
wonder why we are on the wrong track!
I remember when I was younger (long time ago!) There were
3 things that we, as Americans living in the United States would fight for and
even die for. They were God, Country, and Family! A large portion of people in the
country think we are on the wrong track! Why? I know the Boy Scouts of America
has now been demonized as homophobic and even racist but their oath captured
what America used to be all about!
- Duty to God and
country,
- Duty to other people,
and
- Duty
to self
DUTY TO GOD AND COUNTRY: Your FAMILY and religious leaders teach you to know and serve God. By following these teachings, you do your duty to God. Men and women of the past worked to make America great, and many gave their lives for their country. By being a good family member and a good citizen, by working for your country's good and obeying its laws, you do your duty to your country.
DUTY TO OTHER PEOPLE: Many people need help. By doing a Good Turn daily and helping when you're needed, you prove yourself a Scout and do your part to make this a better world.
DUTY TO SELF: Keeping yourself physically strong means taking care of your body. Eat the right foods and build your strength. Staying mentally awake means learn all you can, be curious, and ask questions. Being morally straight means to live your life with honesty, to be clean in your speech and actions, and to be a person of strong character.
When you read these now they sound corny don’t they! But why? Because over time maybe the last 25 yrs. or so there has been a movement, call it progressive or whatever, that attacked these values. God has been moved from our government. No prayer on school grounds or before assemblies or sporting events! You can’t even have a nativity scene displayed during Christmas or display the Ten Commandments anytime! Some say it offends non-Christians? This country was founded using Christian/Judeo values and if it offends people then in essence the U.S. offends them! We should not abandon what makes us strong! This reminds me of the story of the young girl supposedly writing a letter to God after a school shooting that killed many of her fellow students! Asking him why he allows this to happen? And God replies that He is sorry but He is not allowed in schools, army bases, post offices or any other government facilities or grounds were there have been other scenes of horrendous violence!!
After removing God the traditional family came under attack through the media and Hollywood that made it ok for a group of non-married individuals to have 43 sexual encounters without any consequences! Many were one night stands! Do you remember “Friends”? Celebrating having children out of wedlock! The names of celebrities are too long to mention! Even using artificial insemination to achieve this goal! Then it was said and supported by the media and Hollywood that you didn’t even need a man any longer just his sperm! Men, as head of the household who traditionally provided for the family, came under attack by all sides! Of course these women were rich and had the money and means to do so, but so many of their fans who tried to emulate them do not! So today we now have the highest illegitimacy rates than ever and these children will grow up without a father figure. No surprise that the groups with the highest illegitimacy rates are the groups that are struggling economically, educationally, with crime, and so forth. Our society has been molded through the media and Hollywood, that a show like “Modern Family” is now the top comedy on TV!
Duty to self is now gone! Have you really looked around when you go out? So many fat and slovenly people who don’t care how they look, which in turn has a tremendous effect on how they act and behave. The way our young people talk is atrocious! No one seems to know or understand the English language. It’s not that they are speaking a foreign language, it’s that the syntax of the language has been lost; Example using “On accident vs. By accident”, I find the misuse of the word “On” to be an epidemic! “Aks vs. Ask “and so on! I don’t think grammar and punctuation are taught in schools any longer because it must offend someone! I would think what I have written here is full of mistakes! And I think the one thing that has brought our society down is the wearing of flip-flops everywhere nowadays! There was a young lady who wore them to the White House when her class was being recognized! I went to a formal wedding about a month ago where the groom and his groomsman wore tuxedos! I was in shock that so many men showed up in jeans, sandals and even some T-shirts! Many women wearing house dresses and flip-flops! I thought it was awful and disrespectful that the bride and groom went out of their way to present a very formal wedding and they show up like they’re going to the beach or Wal-Mart!
We used to be a country of laws, but the illegal immigration has killed that! These people break the law and then are rewarded! Kind of makes you think why you should obey all the laws. You could be like the President and the Attorney General and only obey and prosecute the laws you like! I could go on and on about this but I think I have written enough for today!
I would like to close with the Oath of the President before he or she takes office while he or she has their hand on a Bible!
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” “So help me God”!
Under today’s society I wonder when the Bible will go and the term “So help me God” will be eliminated? Soon I think!
