I am so tired of the liberal propaganda that forces their opinions thru the media. I'm suppose to repress my opinions on religion and morality because of offending someone. I'm not suppose to oppose abortion, pornography or homosexuality because then I am closed minded. My children are exposed to vulgarity in books, movies, music and magazines in order to protect freedom of speech? Who really is closed minded? Isn't it anyone who doesn't want to hear anything that opposes their beliefs. What about those who don't want prayer in school? What about those who don't want God in the pledge of allegiance? Are they closed minded too?
I am naïve if I expect my kids to not drink, not have sex. Is it not naive to expect our kids to use a condom every time they have sex or to call a parent if they have drank too much? I am bewildered at the parents that are afraid to forbid underage drinking. Are we afraid to forbid drugs? Yet booze can be equally as dangerous and addicting. We can't control our teens but we can guide them. It's like taking several coins and lining them up. If you just push them forward they will all go astrew. If you gently bump and nudge them you can help keep them in a straight line. I want my kids' life to go as smoothly as possible. Some kids will go astrew anyway and they will find their own way eventually. Some will even remain unharmed. I feel my job is to protect them while I can.
