Why this outcome shocks anyone baffles me. What did people expect after liberal parents bubble wrapped their own children, then went on a crusade to turn activities into either criminal activities or teachable moment pizza parties with accompanying participation trophies? What did people think would happen when critical thought and logic were removed from classrooms and replaced by environmental/social justice programming?

It happened long enough ago that the kids are now making law in America and working in from of TV cameras and in newspapers. The result is as predictable as day following night.

To expect people never taught responsibility to display any is insane. It’s no different than asking an Eskimo for tips on survival in the Sahara. They are simply not equipped to grasp the issue.

...."In America, we’re getting to the point where we’re stepping all over the people who work hard and play by the rules to cater to the irresponsible"....

There also seems to be a complete blackout of understanding the definitions of law....justice...and privilege. It's all about personal rights period.

Thats the result of the 1936 Communist Goals and it’s effect on education. Undermine the foundation of law and the whole thing collapses.

Yes...it appears to be on track doesn’t it? Unfortunately with the break up of the family....womans rights etc. ....nobody’s home to rightly educate the children so the schools have free reign to indoctrinate at will.

Charlton Heston warned us this would happen. I'm paraphrasing him but this is an accurate description of our zeitgeist:

Personable responsibility for ones actions is unthinkable in the liberal mindset.

The disease that is liberalism voids the host of all rational thought which invokes severe paranoia and eliminates rationale and points the finger at anyone else but them.

Nobody’s responsible for themselves, except that there’s one group which seems to be responsible for everyone else-the law-abiding, taxpaying middle class citizen, especially the white, and particularly white male, portion of it. They are somehow responsible even for things which happened 200 years ago, or on another continent, even though every demographic in history has at one time or another done the same thing, and some are still doing those things, like slavery under Muslims. Even though they shed blood to end those evils, and are still having their “wealth” redistributed to those others, so those others can have large litters, while that responsible citizen must put off family formation until they can afford to support their own children as well as those of the parasites.

"In America, we’re getting to the point where we’re stepping all over the people who work hard and play by the rules to cater to the irresponsible. Instead of wagging our fingers at the people who make society work because they’re not giving enough, what’s wrong with asking all of us to take a minimum level of responsibility for our own lives before we start pointing the finger at other people?"

That's raccis' and the IRS will be right over to see the author.

You forget that the old, beat-up “race card” has been DECLINED since early November.

The one's who think that POLITICS is answer will say:

Elect folks who will END the subsidization of SLOTH!


Others; looking deeper will say:


 

 

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, who are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; ,

then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.
