An
entire generation has been primed and prepped to reach the level of liberalism
that prevails in our nation today. Many youth don’t even know who our
forefathers were; how can they be expected to know if they would be proud of
them or if our founding fathers would be proud of this generation?
If
Lincoln was right when he said “The philosophy of the school room in one
generation will be the philosophy of government in the next,” that would
account in part, for the many statesmen and politicians without any moral
fervor or conviction in the halls of congress and the senate, and dare we
include the White House?
Evidence
of that can be seen as the congress and its committees ponder and prattle over
a myriad of new laws and regulations, while the death of a sworn officer of the
law, (Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry) due to a failed scheme called ‘fast and
furious,’ has still brought no one to answer for the horrible loss of his life.
Not a shred of pride can be detected in this behavior.
Returning
to the classroom we will find that America’s fathers are not the only ones to
be shelved for presumably higher things. The idea that God is
not father to us all and the very creator
of all things has also had a generational long debut and has produced a
generation that thinks it is fatherless and without a creator. How could they
be expected to see Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and others as fathers?
All
of that wouldn’t be so bad if the evolutionary model were not stuck with its
own faltering explanations, which due to new discoveries and old failing
theorems, is taking on water at an alarming rate. Wounded pride and dismissive
dishonesty will not allow us to admit that we have sold off an entire
generation to an unproven idea that is flawed and whose time has both come and
gone.
We
have a President who is titillated with handheld gadgets and electronic toys
via the magic of technology. No one seems to notice that while eyes are glued
to the screens and brains are engaged with trivial nonsense, apps, games and
blather, this generation has a shrinking worldview that is leaving behind the
very real world they are living in.
Our
nation’s mayors are occasionally still referred to as the ‘city fathers.’ New
York’s Mayor Bloomberg has started the latest controversy by coming against
serving large sized soft drinks in the city’s restaurants. He has been called
the ‘Soda
Nazi’ and the ‘soda pimp,’ but that’s not the
worst of it. With Americans sucking most of the alternate world of la-la land
up their noses in billions of dollars’ worth of cocaine, this may make one of
history’s all-time records for inexplicable absurdities for those who are
looking for new material for Ripley’s. Was the drug war won while we were busy
doing other things? Are we now free to move ahead in the battle against that
dastardly sugar and spice? Lookout, all you lovers of egg crèmes, Brooklyn
pizzas and kosher deli sandwiches, the gourmet gestapo may be hot on your
gluttonous trail.
How
could it be that the following passage of writ doesn’t scream from the pages of
the Bible to warn the dilettantes of government? “Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which
cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man… For
out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications,
thefts, false witness, and blasphemies.” (Mt
15: 11, 19)
Hollywood
keeps up the offerings of violence and sleaze in their films, but will not be
outdone by television. The one major conservative TV cable network that we
might think would toe the line has also started to sink in the pop culture quicksand
of the hour. The latest offering is a dating show that promises to produce a
lot of laughs, but the final product is setting up a bunch of good looking
girls and guys for a ‘summer fling.’
No, it is not exactly porn, but if our imaginations are still working, it is
not hard to see it is only a few steps behind. Should we take pride in this?
After
announcing that he is okay with same sex marriage the president has now been
referred to as our ‘first
gay president,’ and some writers have begun to
call him ‘Prezzy’ in response to his declaration. Hollywood, academia and
liberal politicians have sliced up what’s left to the dignity of the American
people like a bunch of bandits and thieves selling hot watches and jewelry out
of the trunk of a car. They lead us on in laughter like so many dogs in heat
performing in a three ring circus. Sex is the keyword that keeps the performance
going and dignity is disappearing along with her long forgotten sister - shame. But shame is not the only
forgotten sister, now the dark cloud of- gendercide
begins its decent into the American decline.
Inasmuch
as all presidents have been viewed as fathers to the nation how is the current
occupant of the White House faring as a father to America? With his recent
announcement that men should be allowed to marry men and women should be
allowed to marry women our opinions have surely shifted further from one side
to the other. Add to this the knowledge that he has no intention of working to
stop the scourge we know as abortion and now, the new threat of gendercide
and any remainder of pride has been given its walking papers. Suffice it to say
the great divider (Obama) will not make the pages of history as one of the
great fathers of the nation.
He
has managed to ignore the clear warnings of scripture, every humanitarian
effort, all basic instinct and even something we all call our ‘gut feeling’ to encourage practices
that we all know most assuredly are backward and perverse. He has paved the way
for a new set of psychological maladies to be experienced and categorized in
our future. It is bound to produce an entire generation that sooner or later
will have to reckon with the shock of realizing that, their lives, their
fortunes and their futures were paid for by the lives of their very own - sisters. Not a stitch of pride can be
found here.
As
it pertains to fathers who were great examples and guides, our future can be
measured in our willingness to abide by, and honor, both their guidance and
their example. When we disregard their best we tend to slide into our worst.
The Apostle Peter was aware that in the last generation of time that men would
disengage themselves from both the founding fathers of the faith and the very
apostolic teachings themselves.
Peter
said, “That ye may be mindful of the
words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of
us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: Knowing this first, that there shall
come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the
promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue
as they were from the beginning of the creation.” (2 Pet
3: 2-4)
Fathers
of a bygone era once gave us warning by declaring that we were ‘cruising.’ We all knew that it meant we
were pushing the envelope and cruising for the bruising. It was summary
judgment in the form of the belt or a punishment meant to put an end to our
foolishness. In the hands of a loving parent it was, and still is, one of the
most effective deterrents to creating a burden to society known as a ‘juvenile
delinquent.’
The
permissive society of the day is more interested in personal ‘self-esteem’ than
in our collective ‘self-control.’ Never has the wisdom of one of our most
venerable ancient fathers been more appropriate than it is today. The author of
the Wisdom of Solomon said, “Because
sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of
the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” (Ec 8: 11)
If
the voices of the founding fathers could be heard today, would they tell us
that they are proud of us - or would they warn us that we are cruising?
