Half a century ago the Liberals were launching another effort to destroy the family with an old theme.  “Marriage is a hindrance to real love.”  The current effort insists that fairness demands the promoting of same sex unions and the teaching of our school children that all sexual lifestyles are equally acceptable.  How many of those we classify as homosexual can succeed at heterosexual marriage?  I suspect that many can.  Liberals say that the gay lifestyle is a genetic thing, they have no choice, but research scientists are beginning to discover that the genes which control us are in turn controled by outside influences.

 

Every now and then a story hits the news about someone who has children from a long term marriage, then suddenly decides that he/she has to be true to his/her true nature and announce that he/she is gay, breakup the marriage and establish a homosexual relationship.  Why do we want to make it so much easier for people to destroy a family?  If I gave in to my true nature I would never have gotten married.  I would have been satisfied to sow wild oats the rest of my life as would most men.  But proper training and examples set by our parents and their friends and relatives prepare us to choose to avoid sowing wild oats or eventually choose the traditional family lifestyle after some wild oats are sown.  Fortunately for me, membership in the Baptist Church then the LDS Church provided me with additional help to avoid the “sowing wild oats” stage.

 

At the age of twenty three, having served a mission in the Mormon Church and worked for a couple of years, I married a lovely college graduate.  After obtaining an AA Degree I dropped out of college so that my wife could quit work to start raising a family.  We have four children and they have all served as missionaries for the Mormon Church and recognize the value of hard work.  Now we have grandchildren to love.  Some of those who sow their wild oats and get their education before getting married end up with a great family and more money in the bank than we have, but the further they stray from traditional family values, the more likely they are to end up alone in their old age.  The more wild oats a young lady sows, the less likely she will ever have a happy, lasting  marriage.  So why are our schools making it so acceptable for them to sow their wild oats?  Why are we trying to push every young man or young woman who is capable of having homosexual desires into homosexual relationships when they may be also capable of heterosexual relationships?  It is a great evil perpetrated in the name of “fairness” by folks who are obsessed with zero population growth.  This “be true to your feelings” crap must stop.  Feelings are useful to people who are well grounded in reality, not for the confused.

 

My mother-in-law outlived two husbands.  She lived alone for about six years following the death of her second husband.  She was a whiney, needy, unhappy old lady.  We drove down to see her and take her shopping once a week.  By the time we returned home we had driven about two hundred miles and spent most of the day with her.  Her condition eventually deteriorated to the point that she knew she could no longer live alone and we were able to get her to move in with us.  Getting to see her grandchildren and great-grandchildren on a more frequent basis was a tonic for her.  It was rewarding to see her gradually change from an unhappy old lady to a doting grandmother and great-grandmother.  She overcame the anger she was nursing against someone she figured had cheated her.  By the time she passed away she was ready to meet her maker.

 

Since the zero population growth push by Progressives in the late fifties took hold fewer and fewer of the elderly have children to take care of them in their old age.  People from third world countries are taking the jobs of the children Americans never had.  One of the things some of them are good at is taking care of the parents of Americans who have been convinced by Liberals that “big government” should be providing for their care.  They also find a lot of work being care givers for the elderly who have no children.  It is one indication of the success of the Progressive attack on the family.

 

Back in the fifties and sixties Liberals had no more sympathies for homosexuals than did the red necks.  Now they want us to believe that they are full of compassion for gays.  Many of us regardless of our political leanings feel compassion for those who make a mess of their lives because they are confused about their feelings.  However, Conservatives are not the ones telling grades K-12  “All sexual lifestyles are equally acceptable, we’ll give you condoms so you can do it safely.” Back in the fifties school kids had our institutions, the media, and our schools on the side of morality.  Today  Liberals have destroyed the moral fabric of our society leaving those with little guidance at home nothing but the Liberal political slogans and self indulgent attitudes they are taught at school to prepare them for adult life.  Those who are fortunate enough to have teachers who don't promote the new morality still have the influence of the entertainment media to overcome.
