Rightside Way Monologue
I did a monologue back in December of last year……in it I asked the question:
What did you do with the kids?.......it’s a question that continues to be asked,…..it
must be asked…..because the left hasn’t given up on trying to get to our kids and
we have to be vigilant and determined in our defense of them…..I don’t want to
have future generations look back on us and get worried looks and ask “yes, but
what did you do with the kids?”
Sometimes I still find myself amazed at the brazenness of the left…..there was a
time when standards meant something and there were lines that were not
crossed….and if they were crossed they were rightfully condemned….and
perpetrators were shunned and therefore tried to keep their actions hidden and
secret…..not so anymore…..the left will say and do anything, publicly, openly,
brazenly……and they could care less what you think because somehow the idea
has taken root that indefensible behavior is okay as long as you couch it as
following your own truth, somehow that has become okay…… well, let’s be
honest, it’s still jackassery…….and when it involves kids…..well, then the
jackassery becomes an example of the left trying to defend the indefensible…..
This week the world saw some incredible displays of first world jackassery…..At
the Supreme Court of the United States…..and in the State House for the Alabama
Legislature……in both instances arguments were presented from the left that
sought to defend the indefensible……arguments that were argued with straight
faces and somber tones as if they were carrying some great import, the gravity of
which required august rationalizations designed to overthrow thousands of years
of acceptable behavior in favor of the new fads of modern culture…..arguments
that basically told the world how desperate the left is to sexualize young
children……in the Supreme Court of the United States the Justices heard
arguments related to a lower Court case that had allowed a Maryland school
board to deny parents the right to opt their children out of reading assignments in
preschool classes that were filled with alternative lifestyle dogma…..there were so
many verbal exchanges that raised eyebrows as the Justices asked questions….but
one in particular caught my attention when Justice Gorsuch asked the lawyer for
the School Board about one of the many LGBTQ lifestyle books that the school
board insisted that all children should have to participate in……to be clear, there
was nothing accidental about the books…..they didn’t get slipped into the shelves,
or accidentally donated to the school…..they were part of a collection the board
approved called the “gender and sexuality curriculum” for children ages 3-10
years old……
[O]ne book tasks three and four-year-olds to search for images from a word list
that includes ‘intersex flag,’ ‘drag queen,’ ‘underwear,’ ‘leather,’ and the name of
a celebrated LGBTQ activist and sex worker. Another book advocates a child-
knows-best approach to gender transitioning, telling students that a decision to
transition doesn’t have to ‘make sense.’ Teachers are instructed to say doctors
only ‘guess’ when identifying a newborn’s sex anyway.
The lawyer for the school board was asked directly by Justice Gorsuch about the
“leather” and tried to play it off as just a leather jacket…..to which Gorsuch asked
“on a drag queen? And a sex worker?”…….but the lawyer continued by insisting
that none of the information was coercive…..it wasn’t designed to
indoctrinate……sure, and the sun is not really hot, and sky is not really
blue…….one of the most respected and well preserved bastions of the rule of law
in the entire world…..a place where allegedly legal jurisprudence is supposed to
meet with common sense and render precedents that affect literally hundreds of
millions of people, and have tangential effects on billions of others around the
world……the Supreme Court heard oral arguments that young children should be
taught that they can be born into the wrong bodies……and that alternative
lifestyles are really appealing because of rainbows and love…..sure, that’s all it is...
But it’s not just somewhere “out there”…..it’s not just northern state school
boards arguing before the Supreme Court in our nations capital…….we have the
same cringeworthy jackassery right here at home……yesterday in the Alabama
State House of Representatives a Bill came before a House committee that has
taken several years of legislative action to get postured for a possible final
vote……the bill has been discussed on this show several times, even as recently as
this week……Senate Bill 186 is an easy bill….a layup…..low hanging fruit…..all it is a
requirement that porn filters that already exist on every smart phone made today
be turned on at the point of sale if the phone is for a minor……it costs nothing…..it
invades no privacy…..parents who really really really want their kids to see porn
can risk jail time and turn off the filter if they so desire…..the filter is already there
but the porn industry desperately wants it to remain turned off…..why?....because
they’re predators…..and yesterday in committee as the bill was being considered
democrats questioned….and complained…..”it might block kids from being able to
research the Holocaust or slavery” said one Democrat……this might be
government overreach said another Democrat for probably the first time in her
entire life……to his credit the bill sponsor kept his cool and said that if they were
actually concerned about government overreach then perhaps we should have no
age requirements for drinking, smoking, or anything else…….the bill finally came
out of committee with the two democrats taking the cowardly road of
abstaining……basically, they were really strongly against it but could not be on the
record voting against it…….
It sometimes feels like we have slipped off into some kind of post-apocalyptic
mayhem……I’ve said before that in my opinion there are some things for which a
nation will be judged…..some things that future generations will look back on and
literally judge their ancestors on how they responded…..I believe that how we as
a modern generation act right now, to care for and protect our kids……that is
something that future generations will judge us for……
Children in America too often face the social contagion of constant pressure to
follow their own truth, get medical intervention and even surgeries winding up
more often than not with a lifetime of counseling and medication……. we have a
society that will tell a child that they need to understand, accept, and even
participate in adult versions of sexuality….even to the extent of allowing children
who cannot drive, legally sign a contract, marry or join the military, make a
decision that they are not what their biology says they are…….We have reached
the zenith of social schizophrenia, on the one hand telling a child we are going to
“affirm” them, while on the other demanding that they be medically altered
because they were made wrong……we claim to value children as important, as
dear to us, and yet we callously allow big tech and big porn to hire lobbyists to
whisper in our legislators ears that it’s okay to abstain from a vote that does
nothing except place a fence between our kids and the most vile pornography
that can warp adult minds and even more so can permanently damage young
minds…….we see it…..we hear it…..and promptly wash our hands of them and
write them off the books……
We have to reign this in…..They will be adults soon enough, if they make it that
far…..and how will they remember their childhood…..kids are a gift from God and
we are called to be good stewards of His gifts…..That’s why I’m concerned……our
nation is on the one hand doing all that we can for kids, and on the other we are
destroying them at a rate never before seen…..
……gone are the days where we can just turn a blind eye…..gone are the days
where we can just shrug our shoulders and say “that’s not my kid so its not my
fight”……progressive liberals want our kids, and if its not your kid today then it will
be your grandchild tomorrow….it will be that sweet neighbor’s kid who plays in
the yard…..it will be the little minions that run in the hallways of your church, and
play on the playground on the corner, and get too loud in the grocery
store…….this my friends, is a fight for all of us!
As a nation, as a culture we are going to be held accountable one day……future
generations will look back on this time…… and what will they say about us? …….it
is not enough to say that we were good stewards with our possessions, or our
skills and talents, or our natural resources, or our time……one of the greatest
forms of stewardship that any culture can be measured against is the simple
question: “What did you do with the children?”…….
And that’s a wrap for the Rightside Way!
