What’s going on?

May 21, 1971 Marvin Gaye released a song that asked the same question that I pose today. ‘What’s going on?’ I mean what’s really happening to morality, personal responsibility and common sense in this society?


Let me elucidate…on one hand we have an unemployed moron having a ‘litter’ of kids after she already has six running around the house. I wanted to post when the story first broke, but I decided to wait until we got a little more information. Unfortunately we’ve come to realize that we’ll be financing the life of these kids. She already has a couple of special needs kids at home, now a couple of the new ones will be special Olympians in the future as well. The most frustrating information comes in the fact that she’s on public assistance. What!?!?!? Who authorized this crap? There are plenty of people out there who legitimately need the assistance of their neighbors and friends (our tax money) and I personally think this heifer’s application should have been denied. She even set up a website to accept donations! She’s already getting donations every time she gets the food stamp debit card refilled. I stated when the kids were first born that I thought it was crazy, but I didn’t care. Now that I have learned that I’ll be paying child support for them, I believe I ought to have a say in the way they are raised. Isn’t that fair?

I say, take all those kids form this maniacal moron, sterilize her before she spontaneously procreates again, and put those kids into foster care or allow loving families to adopt them. This way they can be raised by someone who can be a role model to them rather than showing them how to have their hands out. Everyone involved in the insemination of this idiot needs to have their licenses revoked for being stupid. Did they not think about the burden they would be placing on society? Better yet, didn’t they care?


I read a story this weekend about the 12 and 15 year olds who are now parents. The article stated that their parents were ‘supportive’ of them being parents. Hmmm…could that be because they HAVE TO support them. Neither of these nimrods is old enough to get a job, have no skills to speak of and have no idea what work is. This is another child that ought to be in the foster/adoption system. I think we should put together legislation that calls for people to have to be licensed to have children in this country. I am sick of people having kids they can’t feed, clothe, or house and thinking that our society has a responsibility to aide in their irresponsibility. My personal desire would be to open a series of huge orphanages throughout the country and remove kids from the homes of those who irresponsibly keep having them, use government funds to tie their tubes, and stop this perpetual cycle.

In the land of the free, home of the brave why don’t we have parents being parents and raising and taking care of their own kids? Why don’t we have medical professionals held liable for reckless decisions they make in the care of patients? Why don’t we place a limit on the amount of funds a person can get publicly? Why don’t we have some parameters on those who collect public funds rather than giving them away to anyone who’s able to complete the application? A reform of personal responsibility, deportation of ALL illegals, and reform of all government aid programs would alleviate the need for any government stimulus plans.

It’s Just My Opinion, But I’m Not Wrong!

Tim Tebow: A Real Role Model ?

I know, the first thing some of you will say is why is he talking about this guy? Those who really know me, will know why. I learned of him while he was in high school and my wife and I talked about his outlook when they interviewed him then. He comes from a family of Christian missionaries who chose to home school him, but allow him to participate in high school athletics and other extracurricular activities [this can be done in any school district-your taxes pay for it]. I’m not a fan of Florida, but after seeing how this guy has handled himself with all of the notoriety and used it to witness while still doing mission trips between seasons/classes, I am a Tebow fan.


Too often you see athletes who proclaim their love Christ, but let that get lost as their fame grows. This kid exhibits a great combination of athleticism, character and faith, not to mention being humble at the same. He was even criticized for using yet another opportunity to share God’s word by putting John 3:16 in the black paint under his eyes for the BCS bowl game. Then he opted to stay in school for his senior year out of loyalty to the school. Come on!


Both on and off the field this kid has carried himself as a role model. Hos exhibitions of Christ’s love transcend racial boundaries. I don’t care what race, if you have a son who’s an athlete, this kid is someone they can look up to and pattern themselves after. On the field, he earned a Heisman trophy, a tremendous work ethic, and he has now earned another national championship. Off the field, his love for Christ is shown in his missions and ministering in hospitals and prisons.


How many other college players (or pro for that matter) are there out there that they mention their mission trips and prison ministry almost every time they’re talked about (on TV, in print and on the radio). It reminds me of when Kurt Warner was vocal about his love for Christ and they cut him off. It’s funny for me to watch some of the sportscasters squirm as they share the things he does. Sometimes, I think it’s because of human nature. They can’t explain why he does what he does. They can’t explain why he doesn’t take a camera crew with him every time he goes. This kid (who’s not even making pro money yet) does so much for others that some people have to ask themselves Why? The beautiful thing is they really know the answer, but don’t want to admit it. I know what it is and I’ll say it--his faith in Christ and his walk as a Christian.


This blog has been mostly about political topics and stuff, but I care about and think about more than politics. This kid has shown himself (to date) to be the real deal. I hope when he gets to the next level he keeps it up. He’s a role model for kids, other athletes and Christian men. He’s handling himself in the way we, as Christians, should live, with an abundance of good works, living a life above reproach and boldly sharing the gospel whenever he can. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that Tebow is perfect, but like many Christian athletes before him, he’s using his spotlight to exhibit to others what it means to be a Christian. Whether you like Florida, the SEC, or not, Christians ought to be a fan of this kid and back him up on that. We ought to all strive to live that kind of life as an example for those we come into contact daily. Pray for God’s continued strength and guidance for him. He’s the real deal!
