Lots of truth in what you say.

BUT supporting Gods name would demand honesty, truth telling, moral standards, and that has now vanished.

We are not close to the same country, morally, that we think we are. The world now looks down on and feels sorry for us, as they move on for the most part, without us, while we continue to cease acting as a country.

NO. More like how ALL people should be. FYI, I searched and did not find where the OP referred to only one group of humans.

The plan includes most of the things we have just been talking about. There is no chance, however, that our Florida governor will follow suit🙁

Cuomo? You mean the guy responsible for 6,000 nursing home deaths?

Read what is going on in Seattle, WA (NOT from Fox News who should be ashamed of themselves) and see that plan in action. Sure sounds close to the “quick detailed plan” that you requested.

Yeah, we saw how that worked out. How many rapes? How many murders?

National Police Force. Made up of people from the communities, cities, and State they are based in but Federally controlled. Uniform Code of Justice with stiff and strict penalties for bad actors. Take it out of the hands of politicians. Fund it by taking back a portion of the Federal money sent to each State.

A single Mom raising 3 kids alone because daddy abandoned them working 2-3 jobs with terrible benefits just to put food in their stomachs and a roof over their heads to me is a quality parent.. Children living without at least ONE guardian around to keep an eye out for the dangers and poor decisions that are sure to arise in a child's youth especially in many of these poor neighborhoods are nearly impossible to contend with even if you are the most qualified of parents..

How is it possible? Here's an example: Ben Carson's Mother

Now THAT is REALLY...

Fighting Parents (click here)

Children of divorce are only one issue and most of them still have two parents involved.

The bigger issue is single women having multiple babies by different men who are no longer around.

While it may be true that some wealthy and successful women have children on their own they are the rare exceptions.

I agree

Single parents have it harder - in general. But when you get down to specifics, you'll find there are kids who are raised with just one parent who grow up to be amazing adults, and there are kids who are raised with two parents who grow up to be monsters.

Just take that out of the equation. It is a disservice to single parents, and a disservice to kids of malfunctioning two-parent households.

I think it is good to laud a two parent family. Of course there are exceptions as many one parent homes are good and strong and manage well. I think it is better to have a child being loved by people of both genders and to have two people to watch over and protect him/her and to have two people who can provide for them their needed things and pay the bills for their food and shelter and save money for their future education. AND to catch the little things that may be fibs and scams that one parent might miss. I think many times it takes not only two but more than two, and what lucky kids who have grandparents close by as well. I am all for strong two parent families and sad to see families split. It is always painful. It can be weathered, but there is real joy for a relationship that lasts for years and years and shelters and loves children. Not a thing wrong with it at all. It is something GOOD, most of the time. Most of the time.

A suprise guy
 
Many years ago a person was visiting the docks, I think in San Francisco and he heard a Dock Worker talking. He was surprised at the breath and width if his knowledge and to make a long story short the Dock Worker was Eric Hoffer who ended up writing some good books. I remember one comment he made and it related to a Lawyers convention in which he pointed out the Attorney's had invited the then head of the Black Panthers Movement and who preached nothing but hate for the US. When he was done spilling his hate at the convention the Attorney's stood and gave him a standing ovation. He used this as an example of cowardness. When does coward behavior stop and care of the country begin? Is it being a coward to stand by and watch a number of Cities being taken over by thugs? Is it being a coward to stand by and listen to people shouting to rip down USA history, whether buildings or statutes? You can add the rest examples of being a coward. Who do you hold responsible for letting any of this happen? It is being a coward by omission rather than commission. When is it time to not reward bad behavior and to ensure consequences for those who allow anarchy to be part of the fiber of the US? :ohdear:

Well said! It sickens me to know that this has been going on for far to long.

Really? Que Kumbaya? Look to history.

Frankly, I could furnish, with links quotes from folks you consider great or wonderful, or I believe you do, saying very very unpatriotic things. But two things would happen....I get deleted and banned, and you type in fake news, env though I could supply video and the actual quotes.

Anecdotal talk has no weight at all with me, although I would guess you are fairy accurate although out of context.

That comment is true but out of context. There are exceptions to everything. Think back to the 1950’s, 60’s and early 70’s when 2 parent households were more common. Children were brought up differently. Children were disciplined when needed they were not your friend like some parents and kids state. Schools had discipline or the student was punished by the teacher or the parents. There was much more respect for one another. When I misbehaved in school not only did I get whacked by the teacher but my parents would kick my a- - as well. Ask any teacher, discipline in school doesn’t exist because if the teacher disciplines a student he or she will be suspended or fired.
