This is one of the many bitter fruits of liberalism.
I see it in my own extended family.
If I speak the truth, and say, "What those kids need is a good ass-whippin."
Holy Crap! All eyes as big as saucers!
From what I understand, if you take your kid to the woodshed.
His teachers may take you to the hoosegow.
I'm afraid we're doomed, because I don't see any path back to sanity, when damn near everyone's insane.
While standing in line to checkout at Home Depot one day, I watched a five-year old throw threaten to embarrass his mother with a temper tantrum. He said something to the effect of, “I’ll lay down and scream until I get it.”
She got down face to face with him and told him that she’d bust his rear end in front of everyone if he did. She got lots of dirty looks from those standing nearby, which seemed to encourage the boy’s attitude.
Well, he went for it. And she kept her word. When she was finished, I said, “You’re a good mother,” and clapped loudly. Then a few people around me started clapping.
The proud mom smiled all the way out of the store and the little boy’s face was red with embarrassment. I bet he learned a lesson.
