All the more reason to get back to traditional families in this country.

Would be helpful if the community leaders, BLM, outreach folks, etc…, helped these kids out and be father figures to teach them values, right from wrong, etc… Folks keep saying something needs done but they expect others to do something when they’re somebody.

We’ll have people married to their cats and writing them off as dependents, adding them to health policies, co-applicants on mortgages, etc…we’re opening the floodgates.
People are more sensitive to their echo chamber beliefs being different from someone else's and when it happens they retreat. Combined with too many choices and social media we are forgetting how to communicate....really communicate.

so what? there are also complete scumbag horrible human beings raised by 2 great parents. but those are outliers as well. 2 presidents raised by single moms doesn't refute the statistics on children, especially boys who grow up without a father.

Any suggestions how?


Part of the problem is that for any short coming, it is usually the government that steps in.....and we know that won't work.

Not just that but they cherry pick what outrages them. White guys shoots a black guy let's protest march, our kids aren't safe etc etc. Black murder victims are killed by other blacks over 90 percent of the time and crickets.

Now there's a wild thought....is T2 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103064/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 a movie about family values?



Think about it what little there was in the foster father and was in the machine. Ie,



Sarah Connor: [voiceover] Watching John with the machine, it was suddenly so clear. The terminator, would never stop. It would never leave him, and it would never hurt him, never shout at him, or get drunk and hit him, or say it was too busy to spend time with him. It would always be there. And it would die, to protect him. Of all the would-be fathers who came and went over the years, this thing, this machine, was the only one who measured up. In an insane world, it was the sanest choice.(from imdb)


Of course, the mother was rather nutty.

Guess I need to watch that movie again, dang!

This is why I love art in all forms. May be fluff and noise to a lot of people, but there are countless opportunities to reveal certain truths, and in strange ways. You just have to know how to look.

Wait for it. It won’t be long before a lefty comes on this thread and talks about leave it to beaver and blah blah blah…. All they will do is deflect. You will never get a lefty to admit the destruction of the family is the problem. It has to be governments fault. Not enough sex education and not enough handouts.

Did you vote for Trump?
