Whatever Happened

            Whatever happened to the America I knew?  When I was a teenager in school, there were no police any where on the campus.  Why?  Because the worse crimes we has was playing hooky and throwing spitballs.  Did none of our students get drunk?  Yes, but such was done under cover and was not known on school campus.

            When I was a boy, riots and protests were strange events we read about happening in Ohio, DC, or NY.  We knew nothing of such.

            When I was a boy, both the Democrat and the Republican Parties were civilized.  Being in one or the other did not disrupt friendship with someone who was of the other party.  In the halls of government one would refer to his opponent as the gentleman on the other side of the aisle.  There was respect for each other.  We were all Americans regardless of what country we or our ancestors came from.

            What has happened?  We threw God out of our public schools and refused to hang His Ten Commandments anymore.  Since then we have bred rebellion and distrust.  We have played, while Nero played his fiddle, with Socialism until we have Democrats running as Socialists.  With it we have reaped a generation of young people who have been taught Socialism rather than the merits of our Historical America.  This has produced its expected results of anarchism.

            This is seen in the opposition to Judge Kavanaugh.  Where in the Constitution is a citizen given a right in the process of confirming a Supreme Court nominee?  It is supposed to be the president nominates.  Then the Senate approves or denies approval.  There is absolutely no place for the anarchy we are seeing now.

            All this anarchy is done in the name of free speech guaranteed by the first amendment of the constitution they want to destroy.  I suggest action should be taken not to infringe on the first amendment free speech.  I do suggest, however, that the Federal Government should make it mandatory that when accusations that have no fact or proof  are brought against a nominee or candidate, the accuser should be tried for slander and punished with the strongest penalty for that crime.  The First Amendment was never meant to be a protection for destroying a man or woman’s character.  Only men like President Trump and Judge Kavanaugh with the strongest character could withstand the onslaught that has been brought against them.

            IT SHOULD NOT BE THAT WAY.

These are my thoughts.  What do you think?
