Oh,please...GIVE ME A BREAK! The government is breathing down our backs enough already. Laws and regulations for everything under the universal sun. Oh, and you can be sure that with this new administration of bleeding hearts, we're going to have to contend with more than a few dozen Congressional "know-it-alls" trying to reshape and remold all American societal norms from the grandstand of Washington, D.C.!

All this from a group of left-wing commie squatters, professing expertise on everything from global warming, (let's ban black cars in California because they might use more air-conditioning), to allowing underage children abortions without parental consent down to the tender age of 13! Thanks, but no thanks. I have no intention of lying down while a group of idiots, (many of whom have NO children of their own or, who have raised clones of liberal nut jobs like themselves), push through legislation that will take the control of our kids away from us. Sorry, no, a thousand times NO!

I raised my son alone. It did not take a village! In fact, if I had had to rely on the village where WE lived, we BOTH would have been in pretty rough shape. My son grew up without a father in the home. He did have a good granddad and many excellent teachers, coaches, and other sturdy role models. That did not exempt him from needing an occasional realignment in attitude. He was never beaten into insensibility. Never were any of his bones broken. And, not once was a teacher, social worker, or law officer able to point to a bruise, cut, burn, or otherwise suspicious trace of physical abuse. Americans are not perfect parents. Not one of us. But, if we are going to allow the United States government to start dictating how we can and cannot administer discipline to our own offspring, we may as well just "pop 'em out, and hand 'em over!"

A little strong for you? Well, I'm not going to apologize. Know why? Because it works. Spanking works! It'll save you time, energy and much exasperation when correctly applied. And, you'll be doing your child a great favor. Especially if they are rather stubborn, - like mine was. If you are unsure when and how to use spanking effectively and safely as a parenting tool, there are plenty of good reference books to help you. Start with the Holy Bible. That's a reliable one in this case. No, you don't even have to be a believer in God! The principles will work for anyone. Trust me. My son is still alive and doing very respectably, thank you. Oh, and HE SPANKS my granddaughter...and, oh, yes -the last time I looked, America was still a CHRISTIAN NATION and, as far as I'm concerned, in that respect, it hasn't changed one bit!
