Where Have the Morals, Integrity, Values, Principals, and Intelligence Gone In This Nation?

A young girl, 14 years old, is savagely raped by illegal immigrant in the state of Maryland and what do the law makers in this safe do? They pass the Maryland Law Enforcement and Trust Act which would prevent state and local law enforcement from helping federal immigration authorities. What the hell is going on in this country? How the hell could anyone in their right mind vote yes for such a bill?

State legislator Marice Morales said, “This bill is about constitutional rights of Marylanders.” Wake up moron, illegal immigrants are not a legal resident in your state or anywhere else in this country. Passing this bill is like rubbing that poor child’s face in her attack day after day.

Thank God Maryland Governor Larry Hogan has the intelligence to know this bill is unacceptable and has vowed to veto it. I don’t want to drag this story on because this young woman has been through enough. It’s not what I want to talk about but the decision of these so called lawmakers leads me to this question. Where have the morals, integrity, values, principals, and intelligence gone in this nation?

As children we are taught right from wrong. Actually if you were to take a few minutes and observe even a young child of six months old you will find they have the understanding of knowing right from wrong. Grabbing at something they shouldn’t and hesitating to see if someone says no shows you they are learning right from wrong. We all try to get away with things or think we can pull the wool over our parents eyes but truth be told our parents know us better than anyone else because they taught us, molded us, into who we are.

I was brought up to think about my neighbor, to care about someone in need, to help someone who was being picked on by a bully, to love my family, neighbor, friends, and my country. I was taught to appreciate all I was lucky to have in life no matter the struggles it took to get here because I was lucky to be growing up free and in America.  

America didn’t start out with 50 states in their union. We started out as a group of colonies across the “pond” but still a part of Great Britain. Yeah I know, most of us know this story. We fought the American Revolutionary War with some of our allies, the French, Spanish and Dutch, by our side. In case you’re trying to figure out who won it was the PATRIOTS. Yep, the colonies were now on their own. Our forefathers had integrity, I think we all have to admit that. Well anyone who understands what integrity is would have to admit that.

Integrity is the quality of being honest and have strong moral principles. How do you think our forefathers would react to the decision of the Maryland legislatures? These men who fought for our freedoms, who wrote the Constitution of this great nation to protect the rights of American Citizens. True we all came here one way or another from immigrants it just depends on how far back you can track your heritage but we came here legally for the time of our arrival.

What ever happened to morals in this country especially with those who are in charge of governing? Morals are a person’s standard of behavior or beliefs concerning what is and is not acceptable for them to do, right from wrong. We all know it but so many of us choose to look the other way while a crime is being committed as long as it doesn’t affect them. Our leaders, law makers, from state to state seem to have forgotten right from wrong, lost sight of their morals, in their excitement to move up the political ladder. They have forgotten they were not voted into office to make things better for themselves but to improve life here for every AMERICAN CITIZEN born on this soil or NATURALIZED. Their lack of morals, their example of right from wrong has been a toxic spill all over this country.

What ever happened to values? Values are a person’s principles or standards of behavior, one’s judgment of what is important in life. You know obey the laws of the land, loving and protecting your family, being the best person you can be, and love for your country are a few examples that come to mind. Values today seem to be lost or misplaced. When lawmakers can pass a bill giving someone who is here ILLEGALLY protection from the law what are they teaching our children? Not right from wrong if they can support this type of legislation. No, they are teaching disrespect and deceit as a means of getting what you want no matter who it hurts.

What ever happened to principles in this country? You know principles the fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation of a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning. To me it seems as if half of our elected officials have lost all their principles if it doesn’t benefit them.  So now what lessons are we as parents and American citizens teaching our children by electing and re-electing the same people over and over again into office? It’s just not acceptable to go with what we know because it has become comfortable. We need to start bucking this system everyone has gotten so comfortable with and start remembering why we are even lucky enough to be living with the freedoms we have taken for granted. It’s not because of the congressmen and women we have voted into office today but because of the Patriots who took up arms in order to make a better life for their families in a new land.

If the Patriots never fought and won the American Revolution we wouldn’t have the freedoms our Constitution has provided for us. If it hadn’t been for all the Patriots who have fought wars since then to preserve our freedoms we wouldn’t be able to speak our minds, carry a gun, practice religion as we choose etc. But somewhere along the line all this has been lost on our so called lawmakers many of whom give little or no thought to the American people and this legislation passed in Maryland proves it.

I know a lot of people will not agree with me when I say I believe President Trump and the cabinet he has been fighting hard to put together are our Patriots today. They are there to fight the system from within and bring back integrity, morals, values, and principals to the laws of this land so we as Americans can once again hold our heads high.

What are these bleeding hearts so up in arms about? Why are they so against bringing this country back to all its glory? Are they afraid they are going to have to start doing things for the betterment of the people? Take a look at Congress today, at state legislators and check to see how long they have been in office. Check their record and see how they have been voting as your representative, your voice, your standard of right from wrong, integrity, morals, values, and principles. If they aren’t doing the job then it’s time to make a change.

To the people of the state of Maryland, the ones who understand right from wrong, you know this legislation is wrong. It goes against the morals, principles, values, and integrity of this great nation. It mocks the intelligence of the people of Maryland and the federal laws upheld in our Constitution. I have said this before and I will say it again, anyone who harbors a criminal, such as a thief, murderer, even an illegal alien should be arrested and punished to the fullest extent of the law. Any lawmaker who even suggests a law should be passed to harbor a criminal needs to be removed from office.

I will do my part and call my Representatives, write letters, emails and anything else I can do to make my voice heard in the state capitol in which I live and in Washington, DC. Anyone can take to fb, write a blog, but what matters most is you get out there and do the job and make your voice heard.

May God Bless America and watch over all the victims of violent crimes and their families so they know they are not alone.
