No Such Thing As Parental Rights

Deborah Venable

12/11/11

While there are some concerned and dedicated people trying to write such a law into existence, at this time we stand guilty of having no legal parental rights, with the burden of proof on our shoulders to supply a justification for the choices we make for our children. Does that sound far out or what? If you wonder why our founders failed to pay attention and write such rights into our Constitution, it’s quite simple really – they made the mistake of taking it for granted that everyone knew parents are responsible for their children and therefore have a right to make decisions for them.

I am not one to jump on the bandwagon that government should never intervene between parent and child, but I see the whole problem of the loss of parental rights in this country as more of a social irresponsibility than that of deliberate government intrusion where it doesn’t belong. Indeed, government has been repeatedly invited to get far too involved in our personal lives – and that is a problem of an irresponsible society.

With a full time, over bloated government constantly working to write more laws than we need, what can we expect? Too few people are willing to question the need for so many laws and instead will chime in on that famous chant, “there ought to be a law!” In my opinion, this is due to the fact that parents have done an awful job of “laying down the law” in the process of raising their own children. If you shirk the all-important responsibility of raising your children with a knowledge and respect for boundaries, common decency, and other people’s rights, you will end up with a society that cries out for government regulation.

The fact that world order utopians and social planners have been working for years to drive a wedge in traditional families in order to realize their socialist/communist goals lands on deaf ears of the modern progressive parents of today.

Hypocrisy is the order of the day when it comes to protection of children in this socialist-leaning society. Children will never be “safe” in a world that cannot recognize the importance of morality over political correctness, so every child will be “left behind” unless America can sweep away the dirt of social decline and polish up the moral foundations on which she was built. The growing clutter of child safety legislation, state codes, and court rulings make a mockery of the idea that supporters of such hogwash, (as most of it is), ever have children’s best interests at heart. But the hypocrites just keep on keeping on.

Political correctness has invaded every corner of traditional life. Children have a constant cloud hanging over their heads that threatens their well being with a storm of interference worse than that caused by an electrical storm on radio waves. From the moment a child is conceived he or she is at a risk far greater than that from times of the highest infant mortality rate. Depending on how convenient the pregnancy is to his parents, and how moral they are, his life may be legally snuffed out before he takes his first breath of air. Heaven forbid if the mother or the child has any deformities that can be detected in-utero, for the politically correct society will be hard pressed to justify any “choice” to preserve the child.

Assuming he makes it through this first test of fitness, the child must hope for a mother who does not consider herself void of any maternal instincts so that she must seek the advice of medical “experts” at every turn. The first such advice will be to inject the baby’s tiny little body with dangerous foreign substances in the name of “protection” from childhood diseases. No epidemic the earth has ever known is as heinous as the politically correct assault on newborn babies’ immune systems, which opens the door to the current epidemic running rampant in this country – the epidemic of many human autoimmune diseases. The science of medical immunology has absolutely convinced far too many in our society that it is the answer to the decline in serious childhood diseases. This completely overlooks the possibility that we may well have evolved to this point, without the added assault on our natural immune systems, even more disease free because of the knowledge we have obtained about simple hygiene, health maintenance, and a clean food and water supply.

Horror stories of the negative impact of immunizations are plentiful but seldom make the headlines. The same “concerned” political leaders, medical professionals, educators, and others who claim their actions are “for the children” will not be there to care for a child that started out healthy and ended up altered for life by the devastating effects of immunization gone wrong. They will not be there to bear the expense of treatment and special education of such children when the medical insurance runs out or such treatment is not deemed worthy regardless of carefully researched parental decisions. A few lucky parents may be able to recover some financial loss with a lawsuit, but only if a member of the medical profession will turn on his own in a court of law and declare the immunization to be the real cause of the injury. Good luck.

If caring parents have managed to protect their babies from the “experts’” needles, by the time their children reach school age the medical experts have rallied the education and legislative experts for another assault – this one written into many state codes and federal mandates – on children’s still delicate immune system. Children must be “properly immunized” before they are enrolled in schools. Parents who continue to resist this forced invasion of their rights to make decisions about their own children may obtain waivers to mandatory immunization of their children. In doing so, however, parents are placing themselves under the scrutiny of meddlesome socialist “authorities” who label them as radical extremists for their personal or religious beliefs.

Fast forward to the age that marks the beginning of puberty for all these “well-protected” children – about the time they enter seventh grade. Once again the child safety experts are there to wave State Code in the faces of “radical” parents. In the last decade the Hepatitis B vaccine has become another mandatory immunization for school children entering the seventh grade in most states. What many parents do not know and the “safety crowd” does not want to openly discuss is that Hepatitis B is a sexually transmitted disease that runs rampant within the homosexual community! Political correctness strikes again! When concerned, uh. . . radical parents ask themselves why in the world the law would mandate that their pre-pubescent or barely pubescent children need an immunization to protect them from an STD, the “experts” once again put the pressure on them to make “responsible” decisions for their children’s safety. Are you sick yet?

The risks from this Hepatitis B vaccine are considerable, but we don’t hear much about them from the major media and certainly not from all the politically correct child safety conspirators. This vaccine that they want you to inject into the bloodstream of your thriving, normal children may alter their lives forever. Complications to their natural immune system are always a risk, but add to that the possibility that your children may suffer from an artificially induced form of MS, (Multiple Sclerosis), or other such neurological disorders.

Medical science has undoubtedly made great strides in the last fifty years toward a society with a longer, healthier life expectancy. Caring medical personnel have saved the lives of children who would have been doomed to a short, painful life. By no means is this article an indictment of all expert professionals – medical and otherwise. However, mandating child safety at the expense of parental authority, common sense, and moral objections is wrong.

For too long parents have been convinced that most behavioral problems have a psychological or medical remedy because of the influence of medical and educational experts. Children are being medicated at an alarming rate to “treat” a host of behavioral problems with acronymic names. This is what should be considered a last resort treatment of children with proven imbalances. Instead it is all too ho-hum familiar and the real behavioral issues get buried in the fog of medicated stupor. The percentage of adults and children in this country today who will seek psychiatric and psychological treatment and therapy has risen sharply in a very short time. Just as these excuses for children’s behavioral problems exist to get children through their school years, the “excuses” continue to follow them into adulthood, so that now there is an excuse for just about every unthinkable act a human can commit. We are a society that is literally losing our minds! This has been allowed to continue in the name of health and safety instead of facing the underlying problems that cause the immoral and inexcusable behavior.

Just as parents are convinced to immunize their children to prevent disease that the human body is designed to fight, so are adults convinced to medicate against stress the normal psyche should be strong enough to overcome. While the terrible plague of autoimmune disease rips through a morally depraved society, so does the human weakness of immorality chip away at the foundations of our country. When are the experts going to take a dose of their own medicine and produce the antidote?

The medical community has been perched on the edge of humanity’s survival throughout the rapid accumulation of knowledge in the last half-century. Maintaining a balance so that we do not slip over that edge requires that we do not surrender our own common sense to the demand of a false sense of safety that politically correct experts offer in place of our parenting responsibilities. Our children are depending on us, as well they should. Parents should carefully examine any push toward mandated child safety that leaves us at the mercy of what lies in the heart of political correctness.

Bad Moon – from Creedence Clearwater Revival, an old sixties band, (I’m an old sixties chick remember) ponder the words and simplicity of this. One of the few really successful (if only temporarily) all-American bands of that particular time, this one has an interesting history. What was happening back then, do you think, that might have spawned this song? Second question: could it have been written yesterday or even tomorrow with the very same validity?

Gun Running – or just presidential ignorance? This particular link provides a remarkable quote by our president. In his effort to back away from any knowledge or responsibility for this scandalous story, he says, in effect that ‘it’s a pretty big government with a lot of moving parts.’ Truer words were never spoken – but, just who is in the driver’s seat, hmmmmm?

If you found Short Stuff useful, a short note would be appreciated!

The Right Side

Revisiting the Ministry Of Plenty

Deborah Venable

10/08/11

“Rightside politics” is swirling around these days like the water in a flushing toilet that is stopped up. None of the poop will go down until the clog is removed, but a lot of it will float around on top stinking up the place anyway. Adding another flush of rightside politics may only succeed in spilling the whole mess over the side onto the floor!

Okay, too graphic? For the front page of an educational website – I don’t think so!

Where’s a Roto-Rooter™ man when you need one, huh?

I have to laugh out loud when I read and listen to some of the pundits discuss rightside politics as it applies to next year’s election. While I love some of them to death, and agree with much of what they have to say, most of them are just filling up space at this point – and some of them haven’t a clue!

Number one: While everyone has their eyes on that distant target that is over a year away, too many are ignoring the foreground and refusing to look behind them to see if history is sneaking up to kick ‘em in the butt before they can pull off an accurate shot. The foreground is busy. There’s a lot going on there that may need to be addressed long before the target can be accurately assessed.

Number two: Identifying the foreground is easy – that is simply the present government that rightside politics knows needs a big overhaul. That is why the target is important – we may only get one shot at this and it better be accurate.

Number three: History is a great teacher if you let it be. All the rewriting in the world won’t change the facts of what has happened in the past, and you can still find the truth if you look for it.

The bigger the government, the more scandalous it is going to be – that’s just the honest truth. If you don’t know that by now, I can’t help you. So, rightside politics tries to point this fact out by suggesting a smaller government. The in-your-face foreground of present (big) government only wants more and bigger government and will do anything in its power and its scandalous heart to achieve it. It has clogged the toilet and the flushes aren’t doing any good. Now the whole place is stinking to the high heavens. The cleanup crew will have their hands full for years to come, but the first step is to remove the clog!

Can you name the clog yet?

Now may be a good time for a little reading. Right after the last election I wrote The Ministry Of Plenty, so please take time for it now.

Okay, good, you looked behind you for a little history. See, that isn’t so hard. Forget about the target for a minute now and look at the foreground (clog) of socialism, communism, Marxism, progressivism, liberalism – call it whatever you want, it all leads to the same thing. Who is out there with the best plan to clean up that foreground? I don’t know either. It is much too early and too much can happen to get in the way and blur the target again. One thing is for sure though, when the clog is finally gone, the flushes will have to be clean and the cleanup of the mess will take awhile.

Any member of the press, media, or punditry that tries to act like The Ministry Of Truth is not your friend. Uh Oh, I just slipped in another follow up history lesson.

I realize much of what I have to say isn’t very popular, but I can assure you that I am considered what is called in some circles a very good shot, and I also know how to clean a toilet. I’m sure that I’m not the only one.
