Another Vicious Attack

By now almost all Americans have heard about the slaughter at a Synogue in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Ever since President Trump has been in office there have been such attacks. This time the Jewish people had to take the blunt of the bigoted hatefulness against our President and citizens of this great nation.

To top it off the president invited young blacks to the white house. And the President was called out negatively by Rev. Al Sharpton on this wonderful act of love.

When viciousness and murders occur in this nation we almost always jump to the politicians as a reason. But no one seems to realize that those who commit such evil acts have always been this way.

From childhood through adulthood these same humans either learned this from their parents, relatives, or friends who were bigoted and preached their own hatred in front of children. Sadly, when the kids hear this over and over they soon are programed to behave this way. The problem is nothing is ever done to put a stop to hatefulness and violence when shown in a child.

It is time that the United States begin to place those who commit such acts away for life, whether a young person or an adult. When we condone or turn the other way on the bad attitudes of people then the only ones we can blame is ourselves.

“He that spareth his rod hateh his son: but he that loveth his son chastens him early.

Provers 13:24, (KJ Bible),

Trust me my Mom was not afraid to spank us, but she seldom did. From her and Dad we learned respect, care for others, and last but not least love. I thank God that I was so fortunate to have such great parents. They were not perfect, but they did teach us well!

“What goes around comes around”

May God bless and protect this gift He gave to the citizens of the United States of America. We need to agree to disagree with words, not violence.

The last few days event should be enough evidence that when we use language of “Collateral Damage,” such as Hillary Clinton said a few days ago, then it might come back to bite us, no matter the party. What does Collateral Damage mean, “security or guarantee?” My interpretation, there is a guarantee that our security could be in trouble.

This is not to say that I want harm to come to those who had disagreed with Conservatives. This type of event will harm all Americans.

Free speech is one thing but when we wish to silence those who disagree by any means possible then no one no matter the political party is safe. Nobody should stand still for this or be proud that some nut took violent means to shut up opponents.

Since the birth of the United States political parties have seldom agreed with each other. And often, if we listened to our opponents, we might receive ideas on how to make this nation stronger.

People, no matter your party or religion do not use violence or intimidation to have others agree with you. It might end up in your lap, like holding a tiger that will have you for lunch.

Violent Kids

The past two days photos and news reports had shown kids holding guns at two kids laying on the ground. They were in a band and the band leader did nothing to put a stop to such horrible actions. Of course, when adults allow children from the time they can speak up and argue with them or misbehave then these types of problems will manifest itself into horrible outcomes.

What happen to today’s adults? Why will they not be the adult and tach the children respect, compassion and how to compromise in some given situations.

As a senior citizen I remember when as a child I did not respect a person or property then Mom would discipline me. Usually it was being sent to my bedroom; (no TV then or anything else), to think about my actions. And if it was destroying property then we were taken to the property’s owner and made to apologize and forced to fix what we may have broken, or have it replaced, and it would be taken out of any money we might be given.

As for bad language or speaking rudely to another Mom would threaten us with “Do you want your mouth rinsed out with soap?”  We did not want that, so we did our best to behave when around Mom, otherwise we often forgot about the punishment and did the same thing again, until we got the message loud and clear. Kids like to play and when that is taken away then they soon will learn their lesson.

This is not to say that we did the right thing all the time, however. And when Mom was told about what we had done the consequences were often worse than our misbehavior. No friends, no socializing, or playing outside. Children will be children and as such need to learn good behavior, not I can do whatever I want.

Today it seems as if many children rule this world instead of the adults who should be the teachers in setting good examples.

God gave us a brain, but do we use it for the best reasons?

Democratic Congress has nothing better to do!

It is getting old with Judge Brett Kavanaugh; if he did it or not to that poor woman. Now that the democrats, especially Cory Booker whose teenage years were not innocent, the FBI will investigate again the Judge’s past.

Jealousy raised its ugly head again. The democrats are so envious of the outpouring by the citizens for the President as well as the Judge, that they do not know what to do next. Get over it and move on, children!

The Democrats have always been sore losers and probably will be to the end of time. I pity those who have never grown up to be adults. It is never easy being an adult, but you show patience, gratitude, and the willingness to accept what the citizens desire, not what you, or the big money backers wanted.

All Americans must accept the decisions of the masses, even when we might disagree. Our time will come to make a difference, too.
