BOUNDARIES ARE NEEDED

 BOUNDARIES ARE NEEDED

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

 

Our U.S. culture has been specifically spelled out for citizens. We were blessed with our constitution where legal citizens, “the people,” not the politicians were given the right of being in charge. Our value system was based on Judeo-Christian moral values. The family was encouraged to be in charge and responsible for their children’s welfare, behavior and belief system. The U.S. was free, safe, predictable, and provided law and order through blind justice for all. 

 

Americans have become blasé about all the blessings the United States has provided for them.  We have become greedy due to false mass media news and advertising, corrupting movies and liberal lending policies. Status symbols are available to many individuals who cannot even afford them. Conspicuous consumption has seduced us into the slavery of debt. Bankruptcy has become commonplace, so it is no longer a stigma. Thriftiness, which is a value that limits unwise buying has faded. 

 

The boundaries of personal responsibility have been stretched to the point that they no longer inhibit negative behavior.  Almost every traditional institution has relaxed its expectations and penalties for previously illegal or scandalous behavior. Even the U.S. borders are no longer boundaries. 

 

The summer riots of 2020 in Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Oakland and many other cities demonstrated the progressive politicians’ power to create chaos to increase fear in citizens. Antifa, BLM and woke members destroyed statues, looted, burned businesses, government buildings and assaulted individuals. The roving mobs were ignored by law enforcement as politicians ordered them to stand down which exacerbated the violence.

 

Criminals with significant rap sheets were released back on the street to commit serious offenses. Large corporations were not charging people with shoplifting up to $900. Sexual assaults were being dismissed or overlooked for prosecution. These policies were not propagated to cause order but disorder. There was practically no punishment for criminal violence.

 

Defunding the police movement was a bizarre outgrowth of blaming the police for these summer riots. The low-income residents of urban neighborhoods were the most negatively affected by not having police available to protect them and their property. Then citizens spoke up by demanding the return to law and order by funding the police forces. They understood far left politicians were hypocritical phonies by eliminating law enforcement for the public while demanding armed protection at public expense.                        

 

Our nuclear family structure is under ridicule in our schools, literature, and media. Parents have been indoctrinated by the media to follow the permissive child development approach. Children’s sleeping patterns, work ethic, speaking and sexual behavior should be left to the children to discern. This ushered in fewer parameters and greater power for children but limited power for parents. This has wrecked the cohesiveness of the most important social unit- the family. 

 

The elites have swiped control of government schools from parents. They instituted inflated grades, decreased access to teachers and administrators, and set up public relations departments. They did all this to fool the parents into thinking everything was going well. Both parents working made it difficult to monitor their children’s curriculum. Parents were not standing up to blatant disrespect for their role to insure the best possible education for their children. Bureaucrats were brazen enough to say they are the ones to determine the children’s education. 

 

Through their confrontation and mostly by their vote parents are making their voices heard. Too many parents are expressing their negative feelings allow the truth to be buried. Government schools have overstepped their bounds with disastrous results in our education and society.

 

The most egregious trampling of the foundation of the United States has been Marxist politicians disregarding our Constitution and Bill of Rights. The politicians used the fear of the Covid pandemic to decree presidential edicts that remove many of our freedoms and rights. The Biden administration has disregarded the boundaries of the executive limits placed on it by the Constitution. The abuse of our Constitution has reached nearly the level of a coup. Citizens must demand a return to law and blind justice on all level of society.

 

We the People now realize we have made significant errors taking our liberties for granted. We currently should understand that not exercising our First Amendment right will end up in tyranny. The freest and economically greatest nation on earth will cease to exist, not only for U.S. citizens but for the hopes of individuals all over the world. 

 

The United States needs to reestablish boundaries in our families, law enforcement, education and living Biblical moral values and especially in our Constitution and Bill of Rights.  This will prevent taking the road of hedonism, drug abuse, sexual slavery and other satanic actions. 

Boundaries exist as a warning sign to caution us not to cross over the line into personal and national self-destruction and chaos.
