America Reaping What You Sow

It started when Madelyn Murray O'Hare complained that she didn't want any prayer in our schools, and we said, "OK."

Then, someone said you had better not read the Bible in school – the Bible that says, "thou shalt not kill," "thou shalt not steal" and " ... love thy neighbor as thyself."  And we said, "OK."

Remember Dr. Benjamin Spock, who said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehaved, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem?  And we said, "OK - we won't spank them."

Then, someone said that teachers and principals had better not discipline our children when they misbehave.  And our administrators said, "Whoa!  No one in this school better touch a student when they misbehave because we don't want any bad publicity and we surely don't want to be sued.

Then, someone said, "Let's let our daughters have abortions if they want and we won't even have to tell their parents."  And we said, "That's a grand idea!”

Then, someone else said, "Let's give our sons condoms and they can have all the fun they desire and we won't have to tell their parents."  And we said, "That's another great idea!"

Then, some of our top officials said that it does not matter what we do in private as long as we do our jobs.  And we said, "As long as I have a job and the economy is good, it doesn't matter to me what anyone does in private."

So, now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they  don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill.

We wonder why we have political leaders who are criminals, unethical, and hate America.

We wonder why cities and states are going bankrupt and everybody wants a free handout.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. Probably has something to do with "Reaping What You Sow."
