Seven grandchildren celebrated Christmas at my house
and the remaining eight will
arrive on New Year’s Eve.
Regardless the weather, the two to
five-year-olds loved playing in the hot tub and
their parents based tub time on household chore
performance.
An hour in the spa was usually followed by a
quick shower to rinse their hides clear of bromine
sanitizer.
Each body was then toweled off and
appropriately dressed; an event which rarely
happened as planned.
The instant you wrapped one in a towel and
turned to pluck the second from the shower, the
first escaped.
Within seconds, there were five bare butts
scampering around the house.
I am sure there is an age where one feels
uncomfortable bouncing naked on the living room sofa
in front of other people, but apparently that age
comes well after five.
I mention age related behavior, as I always ask my
grandchildren what they want to be when they grow up
and are no longer comfortable bouncing naked on the
sofa.
As you would expect, their dreams mimic the lives of
their parents, so most of my grandchildren expressed
interest in being pilots, ranchers, nurses,
engineers, or veterinarians.
To the chagrin of progressives, absolutely
none dreamed of being a victim and this quickly
brings me to today’s point.
For progressives to advance Marxism they must
cultivate a dependent class of victims who believe
their lot in life is entirely determined by others.
Once you surrender to that falsehood, logic
dictates the only escape from your sorry lot in life
is to empower government.
Black lives matter, the war on women,
Islamophobia and LGBT rights are classic examples
the left will beat incessantly during this upcoming
election year.
Once over 50 percent of the unwashed accepts
victimhood and blindly votes to empower the very
rulers who imprisoned them in dependency, America
will have crossed the threshold, a point of no
return.
I doubt any readers could name more than five people
who were born, raised and indoctrinated a
progressive, but later discovered and abandoned this
failed ideology. I
can name one.
I served with Ed in the 2007 and 2009
legislative sessions and he openly confessed his
embrace of liberalism during his years as a college
professor.
Logic and reality eventually prevailed and he
is now a red blooded, Christian conservative.
Welcome home Ed.
Hopefully your children and grandchildren are young
enough to still have their eyes focused on the
horizon.
Let no one prevent them from using their God
given talents to be all they can be because living
your life as a victim is a pathetic existence.
May God bless America and the freedom she
stands for.
