First of all, this right here is one of the many, many problems we’re faced with as a nation. This, too is a form of political correctness. Don’t say Merry Christmas…you might offend someone! Don’t say God Bless America… you might offend someone! If you’re a child that lives somewhere like California…don’t fly the American flag on your bike…you might offend someone! Even Juan Williams, a respected LIBERAL (Juan’s only drawback), not conservative, writer, can’t state, that boarding a plane today that has passengers wearing “Muslim garb,” here in the United States, makes him uneasy after 9/11. Why? You got it, you might offend someone! If you remember Juan was fired as well! Now, it’s don’t discipline your children, or spank them in plain English. Why? Because you might offend someone…and possibly go to jail!
Well, Dub’s feelings towards the people we’re supposedly “offending?” Delta’s ready when you are!
I’m sorry, but our country was built upon morals, principal, values, and freedoms designated by our Fore Fathers and we were taught to respect and live by them. Also respect and live by our parent’s rules as well, and guess what…if we didn’t we were punished…spanked!
Take another look at the links this person provided, good gracious.
All jokes aside, we’ve got to stop the left in most all facets. They’re ruining our educational system, they’re controlling our media, they’re ruining or already ruined our economy, and now, actually for quite awhile, they’ve been ruining our children through literally taking parenting out of the parents’ hands!
I mean, they’re convincing large numbers of parents that they, the government, know best in our children’s upbringing! How… through political correctness.
Take Deb and I personally. Deb had a whipping or two growing up, and as far as me, shoot, if I didn’t get one every few days, I just felt I wasn’t living up to my part of the bargain. I always thought to a small extent, kids were supposed to create a little torment in their parent’s lives.
Take our grandkids as an example and how good we get along with them. Sometimes they get mad at their parents, and in the same breath, sometimes Deb and I get mad at our kids. Thus, the end result is this…the reason Deb and I get along with our grandchildren so well is simply because…we share the same common enemy! I am just kidding about this…kinda.
Deb and I feel this way in regards to disciplining children. We disciplined our children, the same as our parents disciplined us… because we loved them. If we hadn’t given a “hoot in h…,” about our children, we would never have opened our mouths, and just let them do whatever it was they wanted to do, or torment whoever they wanted! Why, because we wouldn’t have cared one way or the other.
On top of this, our children discipline our grandchildren as well. Are our grandchildren withdrawn, or do they show signs of any social or personal problems affiliated with being disciplined? Not in the least, and they all love their Momma’s and Daddy’s unabashedly! Any other parent or grandparent can see this clearly…it’s not something that can be hidden, and I’m sure you know this to be fact.
Take a look at some of the stories Deb and I write. They’re about childhood memories, memories that we love, and love sharing with you, hoping we can jog some of your own, and by doing this, possibly put a smile on your face. How could that possibly be the case, if we had had even the slightest effects from our being disciplined as children, as “Seattle” claims? Where do they get this from…pull it outta’ the air??
Being disciplined is totally on the other end of the spectrum from being beaten or abused, is it not? Yet these “people” twist and confuse facts and make it really tough just to be a parent! Take a child picking up the telephone and dialing 911…then telling the operator that their parents are beating and abusing them, and many, many times, that not being the case.
So what happens then? The parent, or parents are arrested, taken to jail, and many times the child, or children are taken out of the home. Why, not because they’ve been beaten as suggested, but simply that the “left or progressive thinking,” has labeled you as a “child beater,” and only because your child claims it. How’s that for teaching your children they don’t have to have accountability? Sounds a lot like most of our politicians today, doesn’t it?
My point to all this, simply being that disciplining your children is not a bad thing, as many would like you to believe. Quite contrary to their beliefs as well, is that by disciplining your children, it is done out of love for them, not disgust with them, or power trips! The Bible clearly states, “Spare the rod…spoil the child.”
Using Deb and her article “Droppin Shoes Off the School Bus,” as an example once more, it was written out of love and respect for both her parents, even though her Daddy whipped her and her brother both. The fact they were whipped caused no emotional grief for either one of them. In all honesty, both realized they had done wrong, and by doing so, were punished for it and accepted it as just that.
Back then people were living through tough times, and she stated they only had two pair of shoes apiece. There were NO welfare programs to subsidize your living. You either had the money or you didn’t, and if you didn’t, you had to make do. Back then though, people helped people, neighbors, families, and friends, whatever.
We didn’t need the government and its handouts , or in other words the “buying of votes,” along with destroying a person’s will to work, or to sacrifice in order to achieve something…back then people had pride! Add to this also the “brain washing” that goes along with it, such as leading people to believe what someone else has should be shared with them too…this is insane people, isn’t it?
So, in closing, I know that anyone can take ANY SUBJECT or TOPIC, and research it enough, twist and tweak it enough, to in fact make absolutely anything, be looked at in a negative fashion, anything at all. This I believe to be the case in regards to “Seattle.”
What do I personally call this…Political Correctness! Beware!
Please let us know your own opinions in regards to this. We’d love to hear from you all!
Thanks for stopping by, and God Bless!
