OUTSTANDING article Maya!!!!!!!! This needs to be shouted from the rooftops! To complicate matters even more since we have become such a culturally diverse country, as immigrants from other cultures integrate into our society they often bring with them ideals from their individual cultures, some of which include the notion that sex with children is acceptable. This only further muddies the waters as the social services system attempts to deal with these families who don’t get it that this behavior is not acceptable here in the U.S.

The money line here is #ReportedNumbers….As a former Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, I can report with accuracy, the numbers are much higher, as many young women actually still report feeling they were at fault because they were drunk &/or flirtatious. The core problem remains our society, which sexualizes our girls from a very young age, promoting inappropriate attire & behavior via our advertising, motion picture industry & print media which has a profound effect on forming our daughters’ self concept. Parents must coalesce their power in demanding an end to the exploitation of our children & expose the feminism movement in this country for what it is – a covert operation to promote powerlessness & victimhood in women! We must provide the support & tools our girls to be strong & self confident especially Throughout adolescence when so many are so vulnerable which can assist in reducing the risk of becoming victims of anything.

We faced identical challenges raising our brood in suburb of Philly but take heart & stick to your value system even if it seems like you’re fighting an uphill battle – in the long run I assure you the kids will appreciate it as adults. We agonized over being the ‘only’ parents who didn’t let our kids go to the shore after prom for coed overnight party… When the baby got to college we moved back to Nebraska & 2 of our 3 kids opted to join us here. All 3 kids call Omaha ‘home’ even tho they were raised on east coast- when asked why their response was ‘because it feels more like home – more folks here are like you & dad they share our family’s values’! Parenting- it’s not for sissies —-many parents confuse their child’s happiness 24/7 as necessary feedback that they are making good parenting decisions-nothing could be further from the truth!

The apparent disconnect & non engagement in actually performing the jobs required of this President is reprehensible, unfortunately the MSM will continue to cover for the blatant incompetency! This speaks to the importance of reaching as many as possible via the ‘new media’. Keep up the great work SGP bloggers!

Stacy,
Using shows like Teen Mom as a learning tool is a wonderful idea! Last year , my 24 year old daughter & my son’s 25 year old girlfriend were watching this ‘train wreck’ of reality show. I was initially tempted to chide them on their choice of entertainment. Luckily, I instead chose to sit down & actually watch with them. As we watched, they began talking about their own views on life choices & the responsibility which accompanies them. This in turn led to a very thought provoking discussion between the three of us during which we found many areas of common agreement. The girls actually felt genuine compassion for these unfortunate teens, their babies & the life circumstances in which they found themselves, while realizing the choices we make as young women have the potential to greatly impact the lives of so many others, & are long term, not just a fleeting whim. They also educated me as to how woefully inadequate the health education classes they had taken in high school proved to be. They conveyed the difficulty of dealing the constant assault on our selves by our overly sexualized fantasy dreamworld depicted by our celebrities & Hollywood. They also related their desire the curriculum focus would have been more on character development rather than anatomy, pregnancy & STDs. Using these programs to open dialogue which is sometimes difficult to initiate with our kids & teens is the most positive possible result of this type of programming.

Couldn’t agree with you more Heather though I fear Tami hit the money line with her reference to Harry Reid. Meanwhile, I am really proud to say that my newly elected Senator (Deb Fischer-NE) announced yesterd-ay she is a proud co-sponsor of S.J. 10, a Balanced Budget Ammendment -http://www.fischer.senate.gov/record.cfm?id=339438 Although it is unlikely to gain any real traction, the more bills like this which get introduced the better!

Sheri Aden commented on Why I Carry 2013-01-29 15:31:50 -0500 · Flag

The reason I purchased a firearm & learned to shoot, maintain & clean it is precisely because there are far too many “Gun Free Zone” designated sites. Additionally,my husband travels, our 14 yr old dog died this past year, children grown, so am frequently on my own. I had a choice- to feel alone & vulnerable or take full responsibility for my own safety. I chose the latter. I formerly worked as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner dealing with numerous victims of all sorts of assaults (men & women) which greatly influenced my conscious decision to do everything humanly possible to avoid ever being a ‘victim’!

My Choice. My Family. My Right.

In a press conference on January 24, 2013, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) introduced legislation that would ban the manufacture, importation, sale and transfer of more than 120 specifically named firearms, and many more semi-automatic weapons that have one or more "military-style" features. (i.e. weapons that look scary) Included in the ban are weapons that accept a detachable magazine, and those with fixed magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition.

"No weapon is taken from anyone," said Feinstein during her explanation of the bill. "The purpose is to dry up the supply of these weapons over time." (so, you and I may not lose our weapons, but our children and grandchildren's supply will be 'dried up' if this piece of legislation is passed) To Senator Feinstein's latest attack on the Second Amendment, we say a hearty 'no thanks'! We prefer to exercise our own right to choose--a right that Senator Feinstein vehemently supports when it comes to a woman's right to "protect" herself from the burden of a child.

Co-sponsors of the Assault Weapons Ban of 2013 include Senators Dick Durban (D-IL), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy (D-CONN). Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has not yet announced his support.

If you oppose Senator Feinstein's bill, we ask that you take a moment and sign the petition below.

Dear Senator Feinstein,

Like you, I was deeply saddened and angered by the events that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary on December 14, 2012. My heart breaks for the families who lost children that day.

Unlike you, I do not believe the answer is another gun control bill. You claim that the Assault Weapons Ban of 2013 will save lives. On the contrary, I believe that by restricting the rights of law-abiding citizens, you are putting my life, and that of my family, at greater risk.

I, the undersigned, believe I have a right not only to protect my family, but a right under the U.S. Constitution to choose how I do so. You do not have the authority to interfere with the rights of law abiding citizens.

I ask that you withdraw your bill from consideration. I ask that this tragedy not be turned into another opportunity for those of you in Washington to play politics with our lives.

With respect,

Once again, Politics Trumps Progress

Just think of the possibilities if we had leadership who actually valued progress instead of turning every issue into political gamesmanship & campaigning. I long for genuine debate on the important issues facing our country & I believe we all must continue to encourage honest debate versus kabuki theatre from our leaders both locally & at the national level. Louise penned a great article regarding the immigration issue. I believe the main reason we have no honest debate is due to the MSM's efforts to prevent just that in order to further the liberal agenda. This leaves the majority of U.S citizens with little time/energy to discern which media outlet is telling the truth, so we must Keep the Faith & continue our efforts.

Keep the Faith!
