God Bless Us All

Its time for another rant I guess. I look around and see such chaos in the world. I fear for my wife and kids, I fear for my friends and their children. Political correctness has so permeated our society that we can not talk about anything for fear of offending somebody. The rules of popularity and money have taken over common sense and decency.

Gays: We must support equal rights for gays or risk being abused and attacked by the gay community in often vicious and callous ways (see Carrie Prejean). The one thing that nobody can bring up is that there is credible evidence that children raised in gay households suffer from not having both male and female influences to learn from. To bring up this scientific fact, draws the ire of the gay community in often vile and sometimes violent ways. Somebody on the net published a "report" that children of gay unions turn out better. No evidence was supplied nor was there a breakdown of who was surveyed etc. Some woman on Slate.com simply used heart strings to point out what a good job her sister was doing providing a loving home with her partner. It doesn't seem to matter that scientific evidence shows that children in homes without fathers do suffer. But the gays must have equal rights.

Government: Where do I start. The cliff notes version is simply this. Big business owns and runs this country as evidenced by such things as the bailout package for the banks and the bankruptcy laws that "W" signed. If you go into bankruptcy as an individual, you will need to pay off ALL outstanding balances. If you are a corporation, then that isn't necessary. The Republican propaganda machine is out of control. When Obama wanted to talk to school children about the need to stay in school, the Republicans were up in arms that he was pushing his political agenda on these young impressionable minds. Everybody is finding some way to blame Clinton for our current mess. Truth is, it doesn't take a genius to figure out it was Ronald Reagan. Reagan ran this country on the credit card and refused to pay the bill. Clinton balanced the budget and "W" came in and gave away the PROJECTED SURPLUS in his first year. Every deregulation law that Reagan signed along with Daddy and "W" Bush, took just a little bit more out of our pockets and gave it to business. That's what put our economy in the crapper, not Clinton. As for Congress, when Ken Starr couldn't get enough dirt on Clinton, he kept expanding the investigation.

The media: The news media no longer reports the news. They are nothing but propaganda machines for their respective owners. I've said it before and I'll say it again, there is more spin in Bill O'Reilly's no spin zone then in a bey blade stadium. When GE bought NBC, one of Jack Welch's first orders to the new found resource was that they couldn't report on anything that could adversely affect the stock price. Fox news has a daily memo of what to harp on today at their Fox New Channel. Watch it over the period of a day and you can't help but see it. CNN, MSNBC, The NY Times etc. are all the same way. Report the party line or get out.

Sports and Entertainment: I don't know who's cereal Michael Vick pissed in to warrant the wrath he had to endure, but when we give a sports figure that much money, what did you expect to find him doing when he gets board? Pete Rose was banned from baseball for life for betting, but Darryl Strawberry was given chance after chance to clean up. How many times have you seen this athlete or that entertainer pulled for drugs or DUI. TMZ has a picture of one rapper in a bar partying before he went to Va. to do community service. The drinking age nationwide is 21 and this guy is 20. Why wasn't that bar closed down. Paris (I'm a good role model) Hilton was photographed taking her younger brother into a bar for his birthday....His 19th or 20th birthday. Why wasn't that bar closed down.

In General: The number of celebrity women who are having babies without benefit of a wedding ring is atrocious. Lest they forget, they are the roll models for today's young girls. Why is marriage so yesterday. It shows children what commitment is. I guess I could go on and on but I believe I've made my point.



God Bless us all
