Confusions

Confusions

As I approach the status of a septuagenarian, an age which in earlier times would have been indicative of doddering or dead, I must admit to, not being doddered and definitely not dead, but to confusion.

Impudent younguns would attribute that confusion to almost seventy years on God’s green Earth. I think it’s caused by human nature more than by any other single factor, human inclinations for betterment at all costs, for power, for greed, for laziness.

I’m confused mostly why America elected an incompetent ideologue to lead us during the most dangerous times the country has faced since World War Two. That grave mistake can be rectified next year but it will take years to overcome the social, military, and international ramifications President Barack Hussein Obama visited on us.

Chalk one up for change for the sake of change.

The most serious error any nation can collectively make is what stockbrokers are mandated to caution, that prior performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, believing the past will surely be replicated in the future.

America’s long-term prior performance has been outstanding, an unprecedented prosperity, an unrivaled freedom, a history of fighting for and winning the rights of the oppressed at home and abroad, and unparalled opportunities for personal advancement which still exist though they are dwindling day by day.

The United States of America is by all measures an empire, economically, militarily, and in international influence and power an empire. What we forget at our peril is that empires have historically lasted an average of two centuries.

We are currently well into our third century, though quibblers may argue the USA wasn’t a great power until the 1900′s, which brings me back to my confusions.

After my bewilderment over electing a community organizer as president, my next confusion relates to those quibblers. Does a relative versus a supreme empire really matter? China’s Han Dynasty, the Mongols, the British Empire were extremely powerful both before and after they dominated their spheres of influence.

More troubling and confusing than such quibblers are Americans and pseudo-Americans who exemplify the worst elements of human nature.

Those who take to the streets like Bolsheviks to effect change instead of to ballot boxes demonstrate a gross lack of understanding and appreciation of the benefits this country offers them to, among other things, take to the streets like Bolsheviks without being shot.

Fostering Gender Confusion in Canada

Fostering Gender Confusion in Canada

There’s little consolation for normal American parents of normal American schoolchildren that bizarre school ideas are also in full, sick bloom north of the border but our northern neighbors afford a degree of hope.

There’s no word, yet, that teachers in Canadian public schools are present when second graders are cavorting au natural in their classrooms and performing oral sex on one another, as one teacher was last week in Oakland, CA, but maybe it just hasn’t been made public. (See “Premature Sex-Ed for Second Graders,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=3472, for the sketchy, kitschy, kinky details on that abomination.)

Canuck educators are evidently very eager to demonstrate that they, too, are very much on their “progressive” game, the same game American teachers and administrators have been practicing for some time now under the aegis of the diversity-obsessed National Education Association.

However, officials at King City Public Schools north of Toronto had bad news for their students. Cross-Dressing Day, aka Opposite Gender Day, was canceled last Friday after King City parents told them what to do with that planned perversion. York Region District School Board spokesman explained the board’s change of heart by saying, “Opposite Gender Day has been canceled in the wake of concerns of parents. The idea of [students] experiencing being people of the opposite gender has offended some people in the community, and the school does not want to do that.”

Go figure! After all, don’t all little girls want to be like little boys and vice-versa? . . .
