Innocence Stripped Away...Liberals call it PROGRESS!!

(This Blog originally appeared on my MySpace blog in 2007.)

As I sit at my sister's apartment, sipping instant mix hot chocolate, I wonder just how sad our society has already gotten, and just how far it will go.

I remember a time when hot chocolate was a thrill. When I had no idea what sex was and how babies were really made. I was able to enjoy life and not worry about the world crumbling into oblivion, literally and figuratively.

I used to be innocent. You could call it ignorance, but as a kid, even as recently as the late 80's, ignorance was bliss.

But today, people are constantly pushing back the age of innocence and of blissful ignorance. Most of these people are staunch liberals, and vote democrat...let's see what the liberals are doing now.

In case you haven't heard, law-makers in Maine are pushing for new programs (and more wasted tax dollars) to provide contraceptives for 11 year olds.

Yes, 11.

Just over a decade in age.

These kids are going to be stripped of any chance of that ignorant bliss I enjoyed as a kid. These children will be given the keys to a dangerous vehicle---sex.

Sex is not a toy...its not a meaningless act of fun and excitement. Whether you will admit it or not, there are serious psychological and emotional consequenses when engaging in sex. You can ignore it all you want, but there are chemical, mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual changes that occur within yourself everytime you participate in sex. Cannot be helped. It was DESIGNED that way.

These side effects and changes that occur when sex happens are complex. So complex that many adults have trouble understanding and dealing with them. Yet, we continue to push children closer and closer to sex at younger and younger ages.

Within the next ten years, I guarentee that there will be a 7th grader who misses school due to maternity leave. Think I am kidding???

Why in the world are we destroying the innocence of our kids? Why are we allowing it to happen sooner and sooner?

Its bad enough the smut and garbage we put up with on TV and in what they call music. Movies are garbage. There is very little decent, kid-friendly product left in the world. So why not let 11 year-olds have the safe-haven of school?

Why are we going to allow the Big-Brother government come in, rape our children of innocence, and give them condoms and other sex-related information and contraceptives??

We are becoming so socialist, and it scares me that more people do not realize it. We are slowly being led into a society controlled by a larger-than-life government that will tell us every single detail of our lives.

Read the novel 1984. Big Brother IS watching us. Big Brother is people like Moveon.org, George Soros, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, John Kerry, and most of the rest of the left.

Please, stop the raping of the innocence of our children. Stop this measure, and others like it. Let the kids have some happiness and blissful ignorance before we open the doors to worlds they could not possibly comprehend.

(Here is a response to this blog I recieved on my MySpace blog page.)

"You know, when I was in middle school (1989-1992), we had an 8th grader who was pregnant with her SECOND child. A couple of years ago at the school where I work, we had an 8th grader pregnant by a 7th grader. My point? Kids are being "adults" in today's society no matter if we like it or not. This is NOT the fault of the democratic party, but rather the parents who have decided not to be parents. When you have middle schoolers with their parents permitting their boyfriends/girlfriends moving into their homes, what do you expect. And, let's not forget society in general. Sex is EVERYWHERE... in magazine ads, on TV, even widely mentioned in news stories. How do you expect kids, who already are clueless to what's happening to their changing bodies (since parents leave that part out of discussions and Republicans don't want teachers to be the ones to explain it to children) to know anything but to go out and "have a good time" in whatever way they see fit. It's the same thing with drugs. I would've never believed how many middle school and high school students (even elementary for that matter) are doing drugs of various kinds on a daily basis. Since they ARE doing it, should educators and politicians simply discontinue drug awareness also? Wow. Fact is, we live in this society and we can choose to ignore the issues or we can choose to be proactive about them. I'd prefer to keep those 11 year olds children rather than parents. At least that way they'd have a chance at growing past their childish, curious ways and become productive (childless) teenagers... and on into adults."

(Here is my follow-up blog in response to the comments left on my MySpace page.)

I felt the need to write a follow-up to my previous post, based upon some of the responses I recieved. There are several points I need to make to further my previous blog.

My first point is this: the problem with most left-wing-inspired solutions is that they are not solutions. They are band-aids trying to fix broken bones. They are like cough medicine to fix constipation. It just is not going to work and will not fix the real problems.

You can look like you want to help, but if you do not get to the root of a problem and fight to improve the situation, all you are doing is enabling the furtherment of the issue.

This particular issue is public schools providing contraceptives and sex education to children as young as 11. I have a SERIOUS problem with this.

The point is raised that there are kids that young already engaging in sex, so we have to do nothing more than accept it. Go ahead and give them the keys to the car since some of them are already driving.

Why spend all of these tax dollars to further encourage younger and younger children to engage in sex? If you are making the contraceptives available, you are encouraging it. Plain and simple.
I don't know all the answers. No one does. But the answer is NOT giving 11 year olds condoms.

Why can't we start addressing the REAL problem? The REAL problem is not trying to make sure that 11 year olds are having safe sex. The REAL problem is that kids that young are engaging in ANY kind of sexual activity.

The problem is, no one wants to work at it. No one wants to put any real effort into fixing our society. Everyone wants everything handed to them. No one is willing to get dirty and clean things up. Everyone is afraid of getting sued.

Everyone is looking to the government to save us...

Which is what the elite left want...they want you to look to Washington, DC, for all your answers. They want to be the ones to tell you what questions you should be asking.

When are we going to stand up as people and fight to save our society? Fight to save morals, responsibilty, and decency? Fight to restore some innocence to the lives of our children?

What is it going to take for us to fight back and clean up the mess?

Is there anyone willing to roll up the sleeves and put some REAL effort into addressing the REAL problems in society?

Here is a list of the major problems we could start with:

-Severe lack of self-responsibility...no matter what you do, we have a government program to bail you out so you never have to learn from your mistakes. You go get pregnant? That's fine. We'll let you kill it with no questions asked. You don't even have to tell your parents/guardians about it! Didn't do anything productive with your life? Why, here's a check for you! You can collect as long as you like.

-EXTREME selfishness...mostly brought on by the baby-boomer generation who had everything handed to them on a silver platter after WWII. No depression to deal with...no real threat to their safety as Americans until 9-11-01...and even then we were spoiled into thinking that there was no more threat to us.

-Unbelievable laziness...we drive 15 minutes in parking lots looking for a space 10 feet closer to the store. we won't get off our couches to vote....we won't spend any real time researching the issues and vetting our political candidates...we use the left-slant of the media as our only guidence for voting...we do not take time to reach out to people in need of guidence and care and training...if we can't cut a check and mail it in, we really are slow to help people in need...we are a sorry, lazy society.

-Television is NOT A BABYSITTER!!!! Obviously, thanks to the likes of Judges like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the other liberals who have been on the US Supreme Court, we are not going to be able to stop the garbage that is being produced for TV and movies. What we CAN do is start creating and finding better alternatives to the televisions for children. I know parents have to work and cannot be there to keep kids distracted from watching...but we need some effort by the parents and other people to get the kids off the couch and away from the horrible influences of TV, movies, and even video games.

If we could actually get motivated to address those issues, maybe we can get back to a point to where society is worth saving. I cannot imagine society being much worse when God had Noah build the Ark. It scares me to think how poorly we, including me and pretty much everyone in the world today, have done with out lives and with our society.

We are all spoiled. We are all lazy. We all shirk responsibility.

That needs to change...or, God help us...if He isn't already given up on us.
