There are still places in this world where young women maintain their virtue until they marry. They aren't out there giving it away. Having babies with 4 or 5 different men, of which none provide support. Our society promotes promiscuity. Kids are raised poorly. A basic value system is missing. No, going back to the fifties is seen as abhorrent. But perhaps a look at how we did some things in the past would right parts of the ship today. Hell, even moderation is frowned upon by some political circles. I think Grandpa called them goddamned hippies...

Something is terribly wrong when a kid in the hood first felt loved when someone gave them a gun.

This is a common occurrence, in the greatest nation on Earth. We have a long road ahead.

A few months back there was a kid working in our warehouse. Was wearing shoes that were duct taped together. I gave him my old pair of boots I kept under the seat. He hugged me like I had handed him the big sweepstakes check. I wasn't expecting that one...

I have talked about this a little before, but whether you're a Christian or not is your choice and if you think praying in schools is unconstitutional that's fine, but the reality is when prayer and the Bible were in schools teachers had issues with students chewing gum and talking. Now they struggle with far worse.

Of the 55 men who formed the constitution, 52 were active members of their church.

Noah Webster could quote the Bible chapter and verse.

James Madison said "we stake our future and our ability to follow the Ten Commandments with all our hearts."

George Washington said in his farewell address "you can't have national morality apart from religious principle."

Thomas Jefferson called the Bible "the cornerstone for American liberty."

But it's not cool to be conservative. Its cool to be liberated. Fine, read Alinsky. Promote anarchy...just look how far the cheese has slid off the cracker in 50 years. Yep, it's the hippies. Located in just about any US university, brainwashing, I mean teaching, young minds. And they use a word very differently than it was used in the past. Tolerance.

How many of those 55 owned another human being?

Jefferson also believed Jesus wasn't the messiah, nor the son of God.

Many, but keep in mind it was legal at the time. Accepted practice by the landowners and wealthy. Great men, but yes, slave owners. Hopefully not stricken from the history books for it.

Future generations cannot learn from lessons of the past if we rewrite our history to make it politically correct.

As was his right to worship as he saw fit. Good for pointing that out.

Ahhh, it was legal. Great excuse. Why didn't John Adams own slaves though it was legal? Because he knew it was immoral.


Time has smoothed over most of the wrinkles of the founding fathers. They were just as corrupt as today's politicians. Just in different ways. Yes, some were great men but many more weren't.

Re-writing history is acting like the Founding fathers were absolutely great men and beyond reproach for their beliefs.

Why erase them, or their flaws? Judge them, don't act as though they never existed.

Should we erase WJC because he boinked a 20 yr old intern in the White House? That's immoral to many Americans. He knew it was wrong.

The point is, whether you believe the Bible or not, there is a correlation. Having prayer and the Bible in the schools provided moral absolutes. Our founding fathers realized this.

If this is true, I'll be shocked. He was one the first ones to advocate for bibles in the schools.
