I am pretty sure old Thomas Jefferson is rolling over in his grave right now. His words are some of the most famous in American History and the foundation of a new country, a country where everyone (well, almost everyone) had opportunities.

Yet these opportunities are being blown by narrow-minded followers who are more worried about getting the SAME opportunities than pursuing happiness or creating equality. Being the same is not equal. And having opportunities doesn’t mean you have to take the path that everyone else is taking.

I’ve never understood the movement to take women out of the homes and into the corporate world. It’s not that I don’t think they should have the opportunities, because I think they should. And I don’t think women should be soly responsible for taking care of their children. My point isn’t to say what anyone should or should not do.

But right now, this country is in a crisis. Family is becoming a misnomer. Divorce rate is at an all time high, education at an all time low, and the idea of a family is falling apart at the core. Much of the reason for this stems from the movement to take women out of the house and into the workplace.

The problem is NO ONE is taking care of the children. When you have two parents who work full time jobs, there are kids who are being raised by babysitters and daycares. Why aren’t schools taking a more proactive approach to combating this move to multi-working parent households. Why isn’t there a pre-kindergarten education system in place that fills the needs of this new society?

And the corporate world and the schools have totally different schedules. WHY? With a workforce that’s nearly doubled over the past 50 years, why are we working longer hours with longer commutes? There are some companies that take amazing steps to ensure their employees families are taken care of. From onsite daycares where parents can go eat lunch, to 37.5 hour work weeks to get people home earlier there are ways for companies to allow their employees to be both workers and parents. Yet most companies stick with status quo.

The trickle-down affect of reducing the standard work day even to just 7.5 hours would be amazing. If people were getting off work at 4:30 rather than 5 every day, stores and restaurants wouldn’t have to stay open as late. In some cases it could mean more jobs, as companies would save 2.5 hours of pay on every employee, allowing a larger budget to hire more employees. It also would allow more companies to afford health insurance with the saved income.

It just seems that our countries first and foremost goal should be to raise our children and it’s not happening right now. We need to begin a dialog and find a plan to help this huge problem. Whether it’s getting more parents back into the house, creating a more well rounded and accessible pre-school education system, changing school hours to meet the needs of the corporate world, or have a movement to trim back wasteful time spent in the office, something needs to be done. If not, the Pursuit of Happiness is going to be a much harder road for our children.

America is under attack. And while the focus is on the attacks from the Middle East and from terrorists around the world, a more covert operation has been matriculating from the inside of this great nation. An attack of our values. An attack on our morals. An attack on our education. An attack on our future. An attack on our children. It is an all out barrage on the American Way of Life and it is winning handily.

Like many wars, it is rooted in a noble cause, which is why it has recruited so many soldiers. Rhetoric and propaganda have convinced many smart, educated people to take up the fight against the foundation of America. Like any well planned crusade, those fighting this war are recruited and persuaded with grand ideas and convinced that what they are doing is noble and just. Each individual movement, in and of itself, seems to have significance and the good of it seems self evident. Yet when seen from a birds eye view how each and every battle coincides with the others and the affect they bring as a whole, it becomes painfully obvious that many good causes have begun unwinding the fabric of this great country.

There is a well formulated plan that has allowed this to happen, seemingly unnoticed. A dysfunctional education system has paved the way for a society that will accept and believe what it is taught. Rather than a focus on learning, exploring, creating, and innovating, our American Education System is set on teaching, memorizing, and standardizing education. We have become so hell-bent on equality that the bar is being set at a point where all students can maintain and achieve. Every student in America is learning the same stories, the same history, reading the same books, and solving the same problems. Education is a complete misnomer… Schools aren’t educating. They are programming.

In the past 50 years there have been numerous movements for equality. Equal rights for minorities and women are the most obvious examples. They are wonderful, noble fights that needed to be taken on and won. All humans should have the opportunities that everyone else possesses and the color of your skin or gender should have no bearing on what opportunities you should possess.

Yet, the main component of this movement has been lost somewhere along the way. Civil and Women’s Rights Movements are no longer about equal right and opportunities. Just like in education, they are about being the same. Rather than working to create an environment and a country that allows everyone opportunities, laws are passed to force the issue of equality, which in turn just perpetuates inequality. It is now to the point that civil rights and feminism rhetoric is now much more about promoting their own agenda than creating a society that promotes equal opportunities.

The fallout from the new opportunities is most apparent in the family crisis this country is facing. With divorce rates skyrocketing and single parent families at an all time high, this new found freedom is killing the American Family. This is not a call for women to quit their jobs and go back to be stay at home moms and being housewives. Rather, it’s totally unconceivable how a movement that takes mothers out of the home hasn’t come up with a plan to ensure that doesn’t ruin their families. There are no new and innovative solutions for child care. We have the same over-run, over-crowded, understaffed daycares that have been the norm for years. In an ever-changing society, there has been one major change in the structure of education, adding full day kindergarten as a fairly standard practice. At this point, there should have been many others.

Continuing the theme of equality, in an attempt to “take care” of our society, we have created an over-populated, under-performing welfare system that gives no incentives to work. It is at a point where it cannot be fixed because it has created a sub-culture of society that has no skills, no education, and who are totally dependent on the system. The people who it was formulated to help are the ones who aren’t getting the benefits they need. Rather than promoting getting jobs and getting education, it promotes the status quo. It’s just another grand idea that has gone horribly wrong in the hands of people who don’t care about the foundation of this country.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, all these misguided programs, ideas, and movements are the brainchild of the Left Wing Liberal Movement. There are many reasons these things have failed and numerous other examples that will be examined by this blog. The reasons they fail are numerous, but the most prevalent reason: They Hate America. Where you will read stories of this great nation’s triumphs and get filled with pride for living in this great nation, they feel sorry for those we have triumphed against feel we should be punished. Where you see the America Dream with 2 kids and a white picket fence, they see 4 individual people fenced in to a reality they don’t understand. Where you see a well rounded, church going person with morals and convictions, they see someone who can’t be trusted because they don’t follow the doctrine exactly and still sin.

They have waged a war against the America Way of Life. Many will be lost in this battle, but it is not over. It still can be won. But education and perseverance is the only way we can win. We will do our part to educate you and to show you the land minds and how to overcome them. This is a very important time for America’s Future. Don’t be a minion worker perpetuating these lies. There are many ways we can make this country better. But destroying its foundation is not the way. And it must be stopped NOW!
