------------------------------
Are you among the many Americans not surprised by the recent election
results?
After all, you've been fed up for years with all the lazy, self-centered,
whining, entitlement-minded young people in our country. You knew that at
some point, these malcontents would eventually find their way to the polls
and elect a leader fitting their mentality.
Well, now there's a book (see above) that proves you were correct in your
suspicions, expressing the very thoughts that have been echoing in your
mind.
Its author, Reb Bradley, an expert on child rearing, says liberals are
turning America into a nation of victims, dependent, covetous and incapable
of the kind of self-government the nation's founding fathers envisioned.
"I noticed that all of the societal ills rational Americans talked about
were really manifestations of people who really never grew up – never
matured," he explains. "Ultimately, that is what the worldview of liberalism
is all about. And we won't escape its dire ill effects until we learn how to
parent."
America is increasingly lacking in-self control, explains Bradley. He says
adults no longer restrain themselves from destructive actions and behaviors,
because they have not been taught to do so as children.
"A few decades ago, people were just as human as we are in this decade," he
writes. "Like us, they got angry, they lusted, they coveted, and they
drowned their grief by one means or another. But in one important way, they
were different from us – they had greater self-control. Because they were
more self-restraining, they did not allow themselves to be ruled by their
anger; hence the murder rate was markedly less. They lusted, but they had
greater sexual self-restraint, so had sexual contact with fewer people and
contracted fewer STDs. They coveted other people's money and possessions,
but they had the ability to not act on their covetousness; hence fewer were
compelled to steal. In the last 40 years we have lost the virtue of
self-control. No longer is our society populated by individuals who can
restrain or 'govern' themselves. To lack the capacity to control one's urges
or passions is to lack what our nation's Founders called personal
'self-government.'"
Bradley contends that liberalism is the natural condition of the human heart
and for people to be capable of self-government, they must be trained
against their own nature.
"In this age of technology, one might say that liberalism is our 'default'
operating condition," he writes. "Throughout our childhoods, our parents
must work hard and change our settings to keep us from operating in our
default mode. If parents are successful, we enter adulthood with our new
settings fully locked in. Left untrained, all children would grow up liberal
in their outlook."
What he saw as the traits of liberals led parenting expert Bradley to his
conclusions that liberals were, in effect, children who never really grew
up.
"Liberals are merely inadequately trained children who grew up and now lead
using principles they gleaned from their upbringing," he says.
All people are born liberal, Bradley writes, meaning they are ruled first by
their emotions and passions.
"We come into the world determined to survive, and we vehemently express
ourselves to get what we need: 'Waaa!' and Momma feeds us," he writes.
"'Waaa!' and our diaper is changed' 'Waaa!' and we are put down for a nap.
As infants, our strong will can keep us comfortable and alive – the more
outspoken we are, the more our needs are met. However, as we start to grow,
we no longer cry for our necessities – we crave pleasure, too."
These ideas are not really new, explains Bradley. They are just in need of
rediscovery. He points out that in 1926, Minnesota Gov. Theodore
Christianson established a state crime commission. At the end of its
research, the commission concluded that criminal tendencies were not the
result of poverty, education or environment. Instead, it made the following
observation: "Every baby starts life as a little savage. He is completely
selfish and self-centered, he wants what he wants when he wants it: his
bottle, his mother's attention, his playmate's toys, his uncle's watch, or
whatever. Deny him these and he seethes with rage and aggressiveness which
would be murderous were he not so helpless. He's dirty, he has no morals, no
knowledge, no developed skills. This means that all children, not just
certain children but all children, are born delinquent. If permitted to
continue in their self-centered world of infancy, given free rein to their
impulsive actions to satisfy each want, every child would grow up a
criminal, a thief, a killer, a rapist." That charlatan Spock has a lot to
answer for, but fortunately he is dead.
Bottom line?
"Liberals are like teenagers whose will-to-be-gratified was never subdued,
and now cannot grasp the simple logic of what is being said to them,"
Bradley writes. "They are so emotionally obsessed with getting what their
hearts want that they are unwilling to listen to reason. That is why
liberals resort to personal attacks, name-calling, accusing, yelling,
discrediting, or changing the subject. And that is why they use inflammatory
and emotionally charged words like 'intolerant,' 'hateful' and 'racist.'
Desperation ensues when passion rules. When passion rules, blindness sets
in."
As a result, Bradley says "America is being governed by adults still in
their terrible twos."
"Barack Obama is our King Saul," Bradley continues. "Like Saul, he has
fooled people on a base, emotional level. And when people can't see beyond
their emotions, they are immature and incapable of the kind of
self-government that has been the bedrock of America's freedom for the last
two centuries."
And then there is this:
*Ice Cream & The Election
**Excellent analogy from a teacher in the Nashville area.*
Who worries about "the cow" when it is all about the "Ice Cream?
The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third
grade this year.
The presidential election was heating up and some of the children
showed an interest.
I decided we would have an election for a class president.
We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and
the class would vote.
To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class
members.
We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should
have.
We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked
to run for the top spot.
The class had done a great job in their selections.
Both candidates were good kids. I thought Jamie might have an
advantage because he got lots of parental support. I had never seen Olivia's
mother.
The day arrived when they were to make their speeches Jamie went
first.
He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He
ended by promising to do his very best.
Everyone applauded. He sat down and Olivia came to the podium. Her
speech was concise.
She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream." She
sat down.
The class went wild. "Yes! Yes! We want ice cream." She surely
could say more. She did not have to.
A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She
wasn't sure.
Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it? She didn't
know.
The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice
cream.
Jamie was forgotten.
Olivia won by a landslide.
Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and
fifty-two percent of the people reacted like nine year olds. They want ice
cream.
The other forty-eight percent of us know we're going to have to feed
the cow and clean up the mess.
