Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
Perfect. Thanks!
God help us all, Jeff, I hope that you’re correct. You know that we’re going to do our best to make that happen. But here’s the thing, my friend - I believe that the stakes are immeasurably higher than anyone may have reckoned. If I am right - and I wish I weren’t - what we’re facing is a genreal civilizational collapse if we fail.
Our erstwhile masters are content with ruling from a stinking pile of rubble and corpses. No problem as long as they’re the ones in charge.
What they don’t understand is that they’ll be overrun by those whose loyalty is the tribe, not reason or ideology. And that’s going to be good for another 800 to 1000 years of darkness. That’s human history so far. It’s what we do. Unless we can restore and preserve that 5000 year miracle that is our once proud Constitutional Republic.
We are literally palying for all the marbles.
Agreed! "Family values" should be backed up with a strong idea of family policy. That way, even those with dubious "values" credentials can at least help contribute to the renewal of the country.
Further, this would provide a campaign platform on both the state and the federal levels.
Conservatives are sometimes too busy with principles. Since government shouldn't be involved in social engineering at all, some think, we should just ignore policy altogether.
Rather, we should ensure that if social "engineering" takes place it should be as least destructive as possible and most conducive towards maintaining and expanding the self-governing capacities of the people. In the long run, stronger families = weaker government.
Jeff Head, are you and your organization aware of the fine work of The Howard Center for Family, Religion and Society? ProFam.org.
It's a fantastic resource for policy proposals and policy history.
“Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world.”
—Daniel Webster
Truer words were never spoken. Webster could hardly have envisioned our situation today.
thanks, yea there are some good graphs on there
