Wake up, lazy parents!

It's no secret that I have a visceral contempt for all things Obama, which has been validated by the empirical reality of his machinations. This period of Obama and his dysfunctional, self-serving legislature is, in a sense, "the winter of our discontent" – but this winter of said discontent can be "made glorious summer" by the "sun" of our children if they are properly prepared.

Suffice it to say, a pendulum only swings so far in one direction before it swings back in the other. Obama will only be a blight on the fabric of our republic for so long, and when he is gone we must have honest, educated, durable individuals in position to replace him and those who now mishandle the responsibility we have entrusted to them.

But I fear there is a gap that the ghosts of Obama will be able to exploit as a continuation of what he has begun. Let me explain.

I have often said that the protesters of the 1960s didn't go away when the Vietnam War ended – they traded in their tie-dyed T-shirts, head bands and long hair for Donna Karan, Dockers, Prada and Calvin Klein, and took over the classrooms of the universities where they protested – something David Horowitz has spent the better part of his life exposing.

We can complain about what happens to the minds of our children when they go off to college, but the question that begs an answer is what are we prepared to do about it? The answer is, we must arm our children with truth so they are able to withstand the wiles of nefarious teachers/professors whose unspoken goal is to make our children into replacement parts for themselves.

Today, there are two groups of students – those who will go on to participatory roles in our future and those who will be plebeians. Which our children become is up to us. It isn't based on income status, it isn't based on what kind of car you drive or where your children attend school – it depends on how important you view your role as a parent.

I'm not necessarily speaking of career goals, as such; I am speaking specifically of equipping our children with sound biblical, constitutional, historical truth and political awareness so they will not fall prey to the lies and misrepresentations being dispensed as truth in classrooms today.

With graduations and the end of the school year upon us, what have you, as parents, personally done to educate and inspire your children? Have you spent time discussing the events of our time with your children?

Your child may have been promoted to the next grade, but are they ready for same, or is it simply on to the next grade regardless of what they haven't learned? Your child may have just graduated from college, but what is he or she realistically prepared to do?

How much longer can we afford to lower the expectations of our children and remain the leader of the free world? How many times have you watched a young person struggle to make change at a check out if the register doesn't tell him? If young people are unable to do basic computations, how will they understand that the government is stealing from them? How many parents are discussing things more substantive than shallow small-talk with their children?

People do what's important to them, and the evidence that properly preparing children is nothing more than lip service for many parents is more evident in their offspring by the day. Parents are relegating their children to underachievement because, regardless of what they claim, the future of their children is not important to them.

I condemn in the strongest possible terms negligent parents, because the future of my/our country rests in the hands of the youth of today. People like me are not only fighting liberal progressives, but we must also fight lazy, uninvolved parents.

The pendulum that now swings far left is beginning to swing back to the right. Will America's children be prepared to seize upon that and make a difference, or will they ignore it because, in the absence of proper instruction, it has no valuative importance to them?

Every generation throughout history, throughout the world, has risen, fallen or remained status quo based on the preparedness of its youth. I see and speak to young people every day who are prepared and those who are being prepared. Unfortunately, I am painfully aware of countless numbers of youth who are not, primarily because inept, pretend-to-be interested parents are content to let someone else do their job, or because their parents are making excuses for how hard it is to be a parent.

One thing is certain – if we don't prepare our children, the left will. And little portends more darkly for our future than having those responsible for same prepared according to the values of Obama, et al.
