Americans of the 21st Century…”Spoiled Brats!”

We, as US Citizens, have evolved into being the proverbial “spoiled brats” of society. The United States Congress & Washington DC have now become our “enabling parents.”

They pass laws that are popular to please their constituents…or those who yell the loudest. This is why its citizens have become so vocal and so demanding. We want to do whatever we want to do, whenever we want to do it, however we want to do it…with no regards to the consequences. And if we don’t get our way…we scream HATE and INEQUALITY.

Congress needs to be more like my firm, no-nonsense, loving parents:

Fortunately, I was not allowed to do whatever I wanted to. I was given boundaries, parameters, deadlines, curfews, and unwavering expectations & consequences, when needed.

Our US Currency says “In God We Trust.” Maybe if we’d allow GOD back into our schools, in our homes, in our marriages, and in our elected officials, the outcomes may be different.

We should consider getting back to the very patriotism that has eluded us over the years. I recall saying the Pledge of Allegiance every day. It was also mandatory to learn & sing the Star-Spangled Banner, and to stand in silence whenever we heard it sang or played.

We have to get back to a time when hard work was rewarded. Companies have to be loyal to their employees again, so that employees will remain loyal to them.

We have to understand that in life, there are Winners & Losers. Efforts & Good Intentions are nice, but the results are the only thing that truly matters.

The Bible’s acronym is often stated as:  Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.  It is still the same—no matter what generation we are in.

GOD & his commandments are the same in the past, in the present, and in the future. Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 (NKJV) says, “9 That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun. 10 Is there anything of which it may be said, “See, this is new”? It has already been in ancient times before us.”

Hopefully, wisdom & time will lead us back to an era consisting of respect, integrity, perseverance, morality, common sense, and love for each other, for our country, and for God.

Remaining optimistic and “praying without ceasing…”
