In America—a Judeo-Christian nation—God and Jesus will always be the first and most powerful teachers—within the rich legacy of our faiths and forefathers, challenges, dedication and achievements of mainstream Americans are usually just as astounding as those of most luminaries.  As such, when it comes to the innate balance of each family, it is only natural that parents should always be the first source of nurturing and inspiration for their children.  As long as children understand and respect the natural order of life, help from outside sources can become invaluable as well as inspirational.

 

“What President Obama Can Teach America’s Kids” by Bill O’Reilly – Parade 8-9-09

Mr. O’Reilly does an excellent job of highlighting President Obama’s incredible hardships and victories.  Even though Mr. O’Reilly is right on target about the lessons gained from President Obama’s accomplishments, several key factors remain unclear and unresolved.  First and foremost—with lives of all children being shaped by adults—we need to ponder what President Obama can teach America’s Adults!  

Honor … According to religious, intellectual and political correctness, people are not to be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.  Although confusion about racial realities has a history of its own, confusion about content of one’s character should be nonexistent.  Unfortunately, due to the widening gap between modern and traditional lifestyles, understanding the content of one’s character is becoming as clear as mud.  On the surface, it would seem that most people are as oblivious to the color of their skin as they are to the content of their character.

Does content of one’s character really matter? … Which moral values form the foundation of one’s character?  Although core moral values are changeless, con-fused experts changed them.  To date, to compensate for lack of character, most experts continue to devalue content of one’s character by confusing value of character formation with value of higher education.  For years, some of the plastic fruits of good education and good taste have been very hard to swallow.  With patients running the asylum, too many crooks not only cooked the books but also spoiled the traditional code of ethics.  Harmful cultural conditioning has been around for so long that most Americans no longer recognize it nor despise it.  As we forgive, forget and move on, the payoff is sadly obvious—immoral and amoral characters will usually enjoy greater value, respect and glory than moral characters.

The 2009 Presidential election was very telling about the candidates and the voters—full disclosure of our characters was as illuminating as the contempt and contentment exhibits.  President Obama was probably the most liberal candidate and Governor Huckabee was probably the most conservative candidate.  Do contents of their characters differ?  Since both men are well educated and charismatic, why was President Obama elected even though Governor Huckabee had more political experience?  Tragically, majority of mainstream conservatives are destined for the same fate or vote, even if they rock the boat—despite hard work and persistence, their losses are much deeper and much more personal.  Most conservatives will not have the same opportunities nor “good” success as liberals—to date, traditionalists and their values are not only degraded by our society but also by family members and oftentimes, by children.  How does one parent and protect one’s children when laws and trends deprive most parents of ethical authority needed to nurture and protect their own children?  Should one continue to write worthless letters to our representatives or beg for their help during town-hall gatherings or tea parties?  One would think that if private and public representatives were doing their jobs, need for intervention would be nonexistent.  Nonetheless, with each and every American experiencing direct and indirect damages from our society’s crisis, luminary or expert indifference to our crisis must end—silent leaders and laws can be as negligent as abuse of power because only our leaders have enough power to protect our inalienable rights or the birthrights of all the children.

“What President Obama Can Teach America’s Kids?” – The song and dance of life—love of honorable thoughts, words and actions … “Never waste a good crisis.”  Although President Obama did not create America’s “social” crisis, wasting it would not only be negligent but also very dangerous for most adults as well as children.  Endangerment of America’s children is too deep for superficial band aids, live aids or other inspirational endeavors.  Without an urgent change at the federal level, most children and adults will continue to suffer.  Should Americans be bullied or punished for leaders’ negligence and greed?  Should children have to pay the final price for their parents’ selfishness, cruelty or betrayals?  Unfortunately, as long as dim-witted luminaries, experts, feminists, journalists or media clowns continue to dictate our laws and enslave our society, individual and social stability are not even a possibility.  So far, even President Obama’s teachable moments haven’t been very beneficial nor empowering.  Sadly, some of the main lessons he has taught America’s kids reinforce and validate violations of God’s word or natural moral laws on abortion, homosexuality, adultery and other vital matters of life.  Although previous administrations allowed various degrees of these violations to mutate into a national catastrophe, the Obama administration has already taken steps to make them even more popular and brutal.  As such, even if children or adults have learned from their past mistakes or traumas, regaining stability will continue to be hindered or at times, illegal.

Instead of a change traditionalists can be-live in, liberal eclipse over traditional values continues.  In America, anything is possible mostly for Democrats but not for Republicans.  If President Obama was a genuine conservative Republican, would he still become our Commander in Chief and the most powerful man in the world?  If Governor Huckabee was a liberal Democrat, would he be our new President?  Although our harvest and facts speak for themselves, most adults and children can’t!

Uomini D’onore and the Family … The bond between social corruption and vote racketeering through social engineering is a fishy fossil—from adulterization of our nation and contamination of our souls to legal family prostitution.  Because escape from these cycles has been illegal, escalation of corruption continues.  The unhealthy connection between deterioration of American values and the poor condition of American lives has never been more toxic, hazardous and infectious—since most adults can’t protect themselves, protection for most children and the elderly hasn’t been possible for years.  Will all pre-existing and new cases of moral schizophrenia be covered under the Obama Health Plan?  Given that there is not enough money in the world to cover all the victims nor a stimulus big enough to compensate and eliminate all the pain and suffering caused by moral illness, we seem to have only one option and cure:  repent or relish the rerelease, reunion and resplendent romance of the Three Amigos—love, truth and justice!
