Time To Take Them To The Woodshed
Rebellious or Ugly Children may not be the most tasteful description, but accurate when referring to numerous Congressional and Senatorial leaders—both Republican and Democrat. After being elected they act like many children reaching teenage years, they know it all. And "we the people" know very little if anything—unless we agree with them. If we don’t, to avoid answering questions concerning their own conduct, they are not above referring to "we the people" in distasteful terms: haters, racists, or religious loons.
Like rebellious children, today’s elected officials presume our money would be best spent by them. What cars we drive, news programs we watch, and radio stations we listen to best chosen by them. Our eating habits, doctors we choose, and parenting skills to be used best dictated by them
Time, however, has proven them immature and incapable. Past experience shows the more they take over public education, the more costs go up and product quality goes down. Fifty years ago health insurance for a working man and family was not a big budget item. item. You could go to the doctor or hospital of your choice. But then, knowing best, our elected officials and their bureaucrats became involved. The more involved the higher the cost and less efficient the service. Now they demand they run the whole show. Yet time has proven them out of touch, incapable of managing, and worse of all, arrogant.

Those holding conventional Christian beliefs are most embarrassing to our Ugly Children. Wishing to show their progressive European friends how with-it they are, they cry, scream, and throw a temper fit to keep our voice silent.
During the last 50 years our Nation's secularists have worked to remove prayer, bible reading, and Judeo-Christian values from our public and private institutions. Those who advocate Judeo-Christian beliefs are continually and viciously belittled, including threats of lawsuits and jail, leaving Christians with the choice of compliance or harassment. This has not worked out well either.
Sexually transmitted disease, drug addiction, and broken families are a national pandemic. A generation has turned from the Judeo-Christian values that built our Nation. Instead they seek worldly messiahs. Lacking a moral compass, they become self indulgent and engage in destructive diversions. Unable to discern between right and wrong, or desiring not to, they embrace the day’s secular fetish or mouth the latest politically correct thought. To them life is of no particular consequence.
Moral decay, crushing national debt, and decreasing religious freedom for Christians is now their legacy. No, it has not worked out well.

Time has proven many of our Congressional and Senatorial leaders unacceptable and arrogant. Although we may not be able to bring back public stockades or the whipping post, we can still spank them come election time. Whom am I voting for? At this point, mainly anyone who is not an incumbent. Most incumbents have proven a need to be taken to the wood shed for a good spanking.
By influencing public opinion and being involved in the political process, advocates of Judeo-Christian values can replace a judge, change a school director, or elect a legislator. And through prayer we can change a nation. It is not too late. But we must start now.
