You are very wise to talk to your daughter about all of this. If she doesn’t hear this talk from you then she has to rely on what she hears at school or the media. I find it amazing how many parents won’t talk to their own kids about these subjects. It is disheartening. We have to prepare them for the world and how to protect themselves. I remember when my son was real little and went to the pediatricians. The doctor examined him and my son started to yell, “BAD TOUCH, BAD TOUCH!!” The doctor was very happy that he knew how to respond even as a little guy.
My daughter asked me if I hate people who like Obama. I said no, that I wouldn’t hate them just for that and in most cases the reason they like Obama is because they have believed the lies that the media has told them.
She was relieved to hear that I don’t hate them and then confessed that a friend of hers likes Obama. lol. I asked her why her friend likes Obama and she said because Obama is supportive of women and women’s choices. I said, “Honey, most often when they talk about women’s choices they are talking about a woman having the legal choice of killing her child before the child is born.”
She assured me that her friend would never support that.
I said, “But she supports Barack Obama because somebody who DOES support that told her Barack Obama is pro-woman. In reality, abortion HURTS women...” and then went on to explain how women are victimized by abortion and many spend the rest of their life either in denial or in coping mechanisms. Obama is HURTING women, but by jive-talking them into thinking he’s really helping them, he is exploiting those women just as surely as Sandusky raped those boys after letting them think he was a gift-giving friend.
And the whole while the “pro-choice” movement knows that abortion is one dead and one wounded - yet will not defend the vulnerable because their own power means more to them than the people who are hurt by their exploitation. Just like Penn State.
I think I also brought in Fast & Furious - and how our own government sold guns to the drug cartels so that they could create a massacre-type situation in Mexico, from which good, decent people needed to flee - so that it would seem heartless to close the border to them (and we’d have an excuse to keep the border open to Mexicans who would then come to the US and vote democrat). And so Obama’s administration could say that guns should be forbidden (so only the crooks would have guns and the “little people” would be unable to defend themselves and thus become just like the people in Mexico who had to flee the butchering...)
It was a heavy-duty conversation. I hope it wasn’t too much for her. I did want her to see that people in positions of power who are supposed to be protecting the innocent and executing justice are - all over the place - instead doing the exact same thing that the Penn State system did: letting innocents be hurt, so the powerful people could keep their power.
And they do it while the media calls them wonderful and most people have no clue just how depraved they actually are. My daughter’s friend would be appalled to know that Obama supported a woman’s “right” to have her fully-born child neglected or abused to death - since Obama says that allowing the child to live would be “too burdensome” for a woman.
If Karla knew that she was praising Obama because he supports a woman’s right to butcher her fully-born child, she would be disgusted. Hopefully she would question how the people she trusted could ever tell her that was a good thing. Perhaps she would see that she - in all her trusting but not verifying - is also being exploited by the very people that SHE trusts. If so, that 11-year-old girl would be wiser than nearly every woman in the democrat party.
