Capitol or School Yard?
All great change in America begins at the dinner table.”
Ronald Reagan
What is more central to a civilization, a culture than the family unit? The strength and design of the family defines the culture, and, as such, its future.
What is a Family?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, a family is “a group of two or more people who reside together and who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption” (U.S. Census Bureau).

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!!
“#1) 37 years after Roe v. Wade,
50 million babies have been killed and yet the United States is still continuing to abort babies with no end in sight.
#2) Cindy McCain, the wife of Republican Senator John McCain, and their daughter Meghan have both posed for photos endorsing pro-gay marriage forces in California.
#3) According to one new report, Barack Obama is planning to issue a letter in the next couple weeks that will guarantee U.S. government support for a plan to give much of the West Bank and eastern sections of Jerusalem to the Palestinians within two years.
#4) As if going through airport security was not enough of a hassle, now TSA employees are playing cruel pranks on passengers.
#5) Goldman Sachs has officially confessed to “improper behavior” during the housing crash – but they aren’t about to give all that money back.” READ ON
The belief that America is degenerating on a moral level is shared by both Republicans and Democrats. According to a new Gallup poll, 82 percent of Republicans and 78 percent of Democrats say that moral values in the U.S.A. are only fair or downright poor. 40 years ago, only 33 percent of Americans felt that way.
So what’s happened? First, secular forces have destroyed any rendering of Judeo-Christian philosophy in the public school system. Many teachers are now ordered not to make value judgments on behavior and not to push any specific moral standards. Thus children receive little if any moral guidance in class.
Second, with the rise of single parent homes, more and more American kids wind up unsupervised for long periods of time, left to the television set or the computer, where harmful material comes at them like rain in a thunderstorm.
Third, major corporations now traffic in sex and violence to an extent never before seen in this country. Americans spend more than $10 billion a year on porn every year. And violent video games gross billions more for corporations.
Fourth, peer pressure to actually reject immoral behavior is virtually non-existent in many places. The military criminals at Abu Ghraib never could have committed their crimes if other soldiers did not look away. The code of silence about bad behavior is an infectious disease among Americans.

“The left insists on its constructs, on isolating entire groups into neat categories of oppressed and oppressor, but it can only keep those categories alive by perpetuating their disempowerment in one way or another. Take Griggs v Duke Power Co, in which the Supreme Court held that it was racist for a company to ask for a high school diploma of its employees, because such a requirement had a disproportionate impact on minorities. Like many of the loonier Burger court decisions, this one was scaled back over time, but what of the idea behind it. That social justice involves lowering barriers for qualification, thereby discouraging ability and competence.” READ ON
Historical Figures weigh in on
the Importance of Morality or Character
Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character. ~ Albert Einstein
Nearly all men can stand adversity,
but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Only a man’s character is the real criterion of worth. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Character is much easier kept than recovered. ~ Thomas Paine
When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost. ~ Billy Graham
You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man’s initiative and independence. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. ~ Helen Keller
A vote is like a rifle; its usefulness depends upon the character of the user. ~
Theodore Roosevelt
Only God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the molding of character in her children. ~ Billy Graham
A good conscience is a continual Christmas. ~ Benjamin Franklin
No change of circumstances can repair a defect of character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Be polite to all, but intimate with few.” ~ Thomas Jefferson
Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder. ~ George Washington
Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today’s world do not have. ~ Ronald Reagan
Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness. ~ George Washington
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Discipline is the soul of an army. It makes small numbers formidable; procures success to the weak, and esteem to all. ~ George Washington
The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Each individual American is responsible
for their own behavior, attitudes, and words.
It’s time to rebuild America’s Moral Character!
Now or Never!
